I stumbled across Undercover Slut when I logged onto CDbaby and ordered a copy of “Commuism is Fascism.” Back then, I had considered O to be a bastardized cross between shock rock king Marilyn Manson and potty mouthed Johnny Rotten of the Sex Pistols. And that’s mainly due to the fact that all of the members of Undercover Slut wear geisha face paint and dress in black leather. Undercover Slut was founded by lead vocalist O in Paris, France, admittedly an unusual place for any theatrical rock act to be born.
The band has toured and recorded since 1995, and luckily I was able to get my hands on their demo “Sadistic Sampler” in 2002. The track list of that indie disc includes the single “Humiliation” which ended up becoming Undercover Slut’s very first music video. Rumors persist that O has is addicted to drugs and alcohol, but in reality he’s a strict vegetarian and an animal rights activist. I strongly recommend 2008’s “Amerikka Macht Frei” to Headbangers and Thrashers all over the World. Aided by Drag’s thunderous bass strings and Divine’s wrist cutting motorcycle guitar riffs, this 12-song LP is a free speech battering ram of lipstick punk and hardcore heavy metal ready to thrust and ejaculate deep inside the back door of Post-W America.
Kicking off this leather clad audio assailment is “The Shadow Song,” which addresses Jim Crow racism as one of the United States’ building blocks and burns a cross on the unforgivable crimes perpetrated by the KKK.
“Anna Nicole Smith” is a slow and sticky masturbation session which O unzips his perspiring soul over the white trash memory of Playboy’s most notorious junkie widow. “White Whore Conspiracy” is a balls to the walls speed ball anthem of self liberation oozing from O’s poison pen. It is one of the few tracks that includes a small dose of acoustics. Both “Dear Dead Prez” and “What Kind Of Lamb Do You Think I Am” are a pair of devastating A bombs tunes enveloped in a choking cloud of radiation and mustard gas. These songs address the absolute worst traits of our wealthy White House Politicians: The tabloid happy sex scandals, the fabricated flag waves of freedom conducted on Election Day. Let’s not forget the expenditure of countless human lives in overseas wars and obscene monetary greed.
One of the most surprising numbers birthed by Undercover Slut is “Black CNN” which pays homage to old school gangsta rap by juxtaptosong turn table scratches and graffiti ghetto beats. I don’t think I have ever heard any metal group do something that fresh with street hip hop since the late Wendy O’ Williams when she led the fictitious all-female group Utrafly & The Hometown Girls. “Kastration Kar Krashes” is an industrial high speed car chase of red hot and twisted metal guaranteed to leave the listeners sprawled out on the pavement lined in cocaine-colored chalk.The lead guitar was graciously smashed and played by Eric Griffith of The Murder Dolls. “Dali Was A Junkie” is a salute to the controversial surrealist artist Salvador Dali that offers free samples of LSD, force feeds offal to law enforcement and gleefully castrates flocks of horny slobbering pedophiles. Of course, how could a band like Undercover Slut not be fascinated by a Spanish draftsman who once attended a New York costume party with his wife dressed as the Lindbergh baby and his kidnapper? “Creature Feature” is a Eurcharist feast of flesh and bullets gorged by O and his malformed fan base of addicts and outcasts. Last but not least, “Amerikkka Macht Frei” seals the casket with a disturbing spoken word segment titled “Jesus Kills! Coroners Saves!” While shedding tears over the passing of Tracey Michaelz, the drummer for The Peppermint Creeps, O delivers a speech concerning how women and children from all over the world are victimized by prostitution, human trafficking, and child porn websites (the latter of which alarmingly fuels a multi-million dollar global market.) Alongside O to present facts about animal cruelty and the effects of psychiatric drugs is Matthew Roberts, the biological son of counterculture folk singer and murderer Charles Manson.
As quoted by O himself, “To Animals, All People Are Nazi’s”
