MODOWN’s Single “Buried” Needs To Be Buried Deeper

Genre: metal.

Location: Daphne, AL-USA

Alabama gets a really bad rap. People like to say Alabama is full of stupid, incestuous meth heads. But to be far, their school system is underfunded, their family trees are more like family weed gardens, and if you’re looking for something to do, your options are pretty much only meth and bible study. And if you’ve ever been to a bible study in a red state, then you know that slowly losing your teeth and winding up homeless is the lesser torture here.

Also, to be fair, the bands are basic as fuck. Enter Modown, a suck stew whose primary ingredients are metal and hardcore-no doubt with extra roadkill for flavor. This is Alabama, afterall.

Modown is loud, moronic, and angry-much like Alabama. Their single “Buried” is one of three recorded songs from these maestros of mediocre, and it has everything a high-functioning cavemen could want-namely thrash beats and hardcore grooves. It also has one hell of a name. At first I thought this was a lawnmower racing team, because that sounds stupid enough for Alabama. But as it turns out, it’s a band, one that also happens to be stupid enough for Alabama.

This song starts heavy and fast, then it gets heavy and slower, and then it gets even heavier and slower. And so on. But these guys are  slow people, who can’t do fast things for very long because they lack the coordination and skill so when they set out to do something fast, it inevitably ends up slow.

This band is so fucking Alabama.

Frankly, this shit sounds like a low-I.Q. Tyrannosaurus rex trying to have sex with a baboon, which is appropriate-because these guys could very well be the offspring of such an awkward coupling. It’s loud, clumsy, and has really tiny arms that couldn’t hold an instrument or microphone properly to save its life. It explains a lot, doesn’t it?

Frankly, this song is stupider and more basic than a campground at Coachella-if Coachella campers were middle-aged knuckle-draggers so stupid they forgot to take a shower, anyway. Seriously, this stroke-inducing miasma of chunk, chug, thrash, and groove had me so drunk on my own stupidity that for awhile, I actually contemplated the idea that maybe IPA’s aren’t actually cat piss marketed to liberal hipster scum just because if you can get just one to drink it, you can get all of them to do it.

Of course, I am being harsh here-but hey, I strongly believe that when life gives you lemons you should tell life to go fuck itself right in its origin of universal wisdom. So life, consider yourself told! And while I’m at it, let me end this by saying: Why don’t you take Modown and go fuck yourself with them right in your origin of universal wisdom.

These guys are a bunch of dildos, after all.

.Modown is busy! They will be playing these upcoming shows: Uglyfest Nov 4th in Panama City Beach FL, Make A Scene Fest Nov 11th in Mobile AL, and they will be playing with the mighty
DRI, along with Death Wish and Dead Devils at The Handlebar Dec 11th in Pensacola FL. They also have an e.p. Coming out in 2024. That’s very appropriate, because it’s the same year as this country’s next Presidential election, which is going to be profoundly stupid-just like Modown!
