Tragedy


Listen Later

Music by David C. Piuri / Arrangement by Keith Sullivan

Act I

Our picture fades in on a bench in the local mall. The year is nineteen hunred and ninety-four. A straggly -haired young man named Keith is sitting on the bench reading the sheet music to " Angel of Death ". At the same time, strolling down the poorly lit mall, fresh from the Sam Goody approaches a young man by the name of David and inquires of the first young man: David: Did you loose my f***ing number, or what? As the picture fades, the audience hears awakward excuses and various stammers.

Act II

Aproximately one year later, the picture has changed to a high school gym during a basketball game where an aspiring fifteen-year-old member of the high school band pounds away to the beat of "Enter Sandman ". The camera skims over the woodwinds and the brass and focuses in on Dave who, with a red fender in hand, finishes off the final riffs of "..Sandman". After the game lets out, David asks the young skinbasher the most important question one can ask of a potential drummer. David: Do you have a double bass? Nathan: No After buying a double bass and demolishing two Slayer songs, it was clear that there was no choice in who was to be the percussionist. This was the birth of Trinity, the short-lived three piece incarnation of Anarch Divine. And so the shows begun.

Act III

Open to the three piece Trinity wrapping up their set by paying homage to the now infamous song "So What " by the Anti-Nowhere League. (Okay, sure Metallica did it too but who can resist?) As the bassless Trinity was "escorted" out of the building, Jesse, a bandless bass player, showed interest in becoming Divine with the words: Jesse: I could've filled in the low ends on "Seasons In the Abyss". Anarchy divine was a reality.

Epilogue:

Since we had no contract, the only thing we had to rely on was our determination and sheer unwillingness to compromise our bare-bones music. We managed to string together enough gigs to finance a five-hour studio session. The restricted time limit allowed no room for retakes, dubbed vocals, or any other forms of pretentiousness, (In other words, all the f*** ups were included in the final mix.)

So, on behalf of Anarchy Divine, enjoy the Awakening! As always, stay Divine.
