about

"Handmade Apocalypse" scrutinizes the human race and its idiotic self-destructive urges. A global outcry.
From stupid teens getting hold of firearms (kids and innocent people usually caught in the crossfire), to grown morons running countries with their fingers on the nuke button... and everything in between, like people killed in police custody without trial...

Another less frivolous subject, F8 can cover anything from social and political issues to silly and mundane.
Can you recognize the intro movie sample?

The punky beat of this song also punches into some double bass drum action.
Starting out as a drummer, lugging kit all over the place for over a decade, up stairs, in & out of clubs, from Africa to Europe, replacing costly drum skins and cymbals, the ease, light work and effectiveness of the Roland drum machine was quite a breeze at the time! Didn't sound Metal, but discovering Ministry in the early-'90s, that wasn't so bad as this sound added to that audio milieu of 1998 F8.

lyrics

HANDMADE APOCALYPSE


(Music, Lyrics & Vocals by Paul Blom - c 1998)

It’s the unwritten law of a corrupt century

It’s the underscore of a maligned millennium 



A species of hate and strife 

Disrespecting all life 

Imminent self-destruction

Little boys with deadly toys



It’s the unwritten law of a maligned millennium

It’s the underscore of a corrupt century 



A Handmade Apocalypse 
In our backyards

A Handmade Apocalypse 
In our backyards



It's the underscore of a maligned millennium

It’s the unwritten law of a corrupt century



Disgracing the forefathers

Rape their mothers 


It’s the unwritten law 

It’s the underscore 



A Handmade Apocalypse 
In our backyards

A Handmade Apocalypse 
In our backyards 



It’s the unwritten law of a maligned millennium 

It’s the underscore of a corrupt century


What else is in store?

F8 Cape Town, South Africa

in 1997 V.O.D drummer Paul bought a bass guitar while the band was touring Europe (with Katatonia and In The Woods). On returning to South Africa he started creating music on his own terms, with no restrictions. Anything goes. Coining the term Tekno-Grind for this solo project (which only utilizes bass guitars), the initial intention for what it would sound like resulted in an eclectic beast! ... more
