Black Cat Nine
King of the Hill

__________________________________________________

Just like the coyote that ate all yr chickens last Fall, Italian cock rock sinstitution Black Cat Nine are back with another dozen odes-to-their-dicks set to a rollicking flash metal soundtrack that treats the pursuit of decent party on Saturday night like it was a quest for the fuckin’ Holy Grail. BC9 are part metal-studded biker rock – think Junkyard – and part Crue-fried retro arena-glam, and they absolutely do not care what you think about them, one way or the other. They look like the dirty black summer of 1988, they sound like confetti cannons and red leather, and they smell like endorsement deals with Jack Daniels. They are so utterly shameless in their adoration for cowbells and chicks that even Aquanet thinks they’re overdoing it.

On “King of the Hill”, BC9 inject even more metal firepower than usual into their arsenal, as evidenced by the militant Metalli-thrash of the heavy-devy “Less is More”, the rugged sleaze metal of “Nothing But Hate” - which sounds like either Shotgun Messiah or COC, depending on how loud you crank it - and the apocalyptic Nashville Pussy-meets-their-maker redneck metal freak-for-all “Pieces”. Then there’s even louder, meaner shit, like the chaos-baiting, noiseadelic “Helpless” and the sinister, Earth AD-era Misfits punk flail of “Scratch That Itch”. But, you know, it's all rock n’ roll, horny and greasy and lookin’ for kicks at any cost, so if ya like weekend-long house parties and booze and motorcycles and girls in skin-tight miniskirts – or any combination thereof, really- then do yourself a favor and scour yr local dark alleys for this here Gatto Nero. It’s rock and roll that ain’t afraid to fuckin’ rock.
