The Hydrostatic Shock

02/06/2023

Dusting off this page for a bit.
I know the Shocktor has been in hiatus for quite awhile.
Question: How dark do you guys want to go?
I'll be hosting a live Facebook broadcast where I will hear your stories and thoughts on ghosts and hauntings.
Saturday afternoon at 4PM PNW time. Are you in?

I wonder if that's the monster who got into my lab....

Injecting mice with human braincells...what could possibly go wrong?

Human glial cells were introduced to the brains of mice pups and rapidly started to interconnect and replicate until there were 40 times more than the start

Mankind is on an obsessive quest for immortality. Oh he won't tell you that he wishes to be immortal up front. In fact some would insist that they don't want to. However, we frantically fight to stave off death indefinitely. We know instinctively that we cannot live in this condition forever, yet, we're terrified of ending this and are not yet at peace with our departure.
We have never had it so good, choking on the fat of the land as bloated, narcissistic petty tyrants, and we want to keep that indefinitely. We'll go to such great lengths to do it, even if it means the ghastly, the maccabre, and the abominable. Mad science truly dominates our culture and transhumanism is the next on the to do list. https://www.kxly.com/i/us-man-who-received-1st-pig-heart-transplant-dies-after-2-months/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_4_News_Now&fbclid=IwAR3I1tEZkvAdCPXNDbZ4MoEGMNorze1XMYLmtfRW_DBSfNYXucQXJJfNkfs

The first person to receive a heart transplant from a pig has died, two months after the groundbreaking experiment, hospital announces.

The Shocktor is returning to the spotlight. After a hiatus due to a breakdown of my lab, I have returned! In the future, expect an episodic story podcast chronicling my journeys through other dimensions in a race against time to cure the virus I unwittingly unleashed upon the multiverse.
In the meantime, I'll be sharing ghastly art, music, and stories of strange experiments in weird science I happen to stumble upon.

In case you need an anthem to protest....like vaccines or masks or something...
We will defy....we will not comply...

For reference, it was this Twilight Zone episode that inspired Circle of Hate... an apt word then as it is now more than ever.. https://youtu.be/vcl5hg0fAD8

No Kids, The Shocktor has not abandoned you. I am just terrible at multitasking.
I remember having a conversation many years ago, trying to describe my angst from the psychological torture I endured at the tormenters of my youth.
I imagined what it would be like if we lived in an alternate dimension where every brutal and vicious word we said to each other would manifest as a slice and a cut on our skin...what would we look like? Anyhow, I did this brand new track exploring the hatred cycles our society strives in.... And yes, that is an ocarina you hear playing....and yes, it's the Ocarina of Time. 😉 Happy listening on this psycho spiritual adventure through industrial music.

I once had an epiphany awhile back. What if every terrible and vicious thing we said to each other would show up as a slice or a cut on the other person's skin? Let's get hard and raw in another organ

An international team has put human cells into monkey embryos in hopes of finding new ways to produce organs for transplantation. But some ethicists still worry about how such research could go wrong.

Ladies and gentlemen, Freedom lovers of all stripes. It's time for a sermon. I'm asking you to repent. No not of your sexual vices, intoxicants, bad temper and too much foul language (although I do recommend therapy for those.) No, I'm asking you to repent of your need for a political messiah. This track is a call to self reliance and for our culture to return to an independent, self governing entity.
We've asked government officials and politicians of all stripes to rescue us and save us, not realizing that we've been selling ourselves into the soft trap of slavery.
So I put this song on a four track EP which will probably be my only overt political work as Hydrostatic Shock.
That is all. (now pass the collection plate, click the link, and order you some good experimental industrial music!)

Had a delightful conversation about the Aliens movies, so I thought I would post some pieces of one of my favorite artists, the inspiration for the franchise.

17/03/2021

I'll be banging out another track I like to call "Circle of Hate". Time to ramp up the guitar rage for this one.
In the meantime, check out my latest EP where you'll find my only political works ever. (I like to usually use my art to wax philosophical and spiritual, but I'll make an exception here.)
Listen to "Political Messiah." And yes, you can purchase it for your VERY own for a buck, or 7 bucks for the entire EP! What a deal!
Ok. Back to work.

As promised, here's an auditory treat for you. Another tribal industrial single from my heart to yours. The sounds of a post apocalyptic America. Throw in some classic tribal beats, chants....other noises and there you are. I had fun with this one.

"Of Ants and Men." Is a fable told with prose and industrial beats and noise. It tells of a society of ants who think themselves to be gods, and they're threatened by the sun that provides them warmth, so they wage war against the sun....which eventually leads them to war against each other...then along comes the magnifying glass with only one hope of escape... Enjoy my experimental post apocalyptic tribal industrial beats and sounds.
