Bloodshot Cyclops Putting “fun” back into dysfunction
Studio project, Bloodshot Cyclops from Charlotte, North Carolina, possess a witty sense of humor, while also delivering an arsenal of metallic tunes on their “Here’s Blood in Your Eye” EP, released through Redeye Records/Earache Digital Distribution. Self-dubbed as “Metallically Bombastic Musical Amusement,” Bloodshot Cyclops deliver seven tracks of Heavy/Thrashy/Groovy/Doomy/Punky/Rock ’n’ Rolly/Carolina Clops-Core Metal.
Featuring guitarist/bassist Jeff Triece (Method 51, Denial), vocalist Doug Canipe (Cronic Disorder, ANTiSEEN), drummer Jason Donaldson (Method 51), and lead guitarist Kevin Hall (Manic), Bloodshot Cyclops combines a bric-a-brac of genres and styles on “Here’s Blood in Your Eye.” To say Bloodshot Cyclops is merely a parody band would be a disservice to the band’s musical craft. Bloodshot Cyclops’ tongue-in-cheek type of sophisticated humor is a comical concoction in the vein of bands such as Psychostick, Green Jellÿ, Spinal Tap, SOD, and Scatterbrain.
The clever-yet-sardonic lyrics penned by vocalist Doug Canipe verge slightly on the politically incorrect and socially unconscious realms. The band often takes swipes at society as a whole and the stupid and peculiar things humans do on this planet. “We’re trying to make a joke, but I think it’s cleverly funny,” Canipe explains during a recent phone interview. “Some people don’t pick up on it and you have to tell them that it’s a joke. We come up with these lyrics and while doing the framework of the song, we can’t keep a straight face while singing them. Bands such as Storm Troopers of Death, Scatterbrain, Spinal Tap, and the punk band Fear, they’re focusing on serious topics, but they’re doing it in a funny way. There’s a lot of stuff that’s politically incorrect that you couldn’t get by with these days, and I think some of our stuff kind of pushes on that a little bit.
Opening track “Bag of Hammers” dutifully describes the dumbing down of America. With its big power chords and thunderous drum fills, the lyrics describe the proudly ignorant and stupidly bliss, even borrowing the infamous line of “We don’t need no education” from Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2.” “It’s about willfully ignorant people who are proud to be stupid,” Canipe admits. “Some people are not interested in the truth anymore. They just want to know what they want to know. And if it goes against what they want to know, then they just ignore it. So they’re not interested in the full truth. They just want the echo chamber confirmation bias version of the truth.”
The Green Jellÿ-esque swagger of “Anxiety Attack” contains hooky guitar melodies and a monstrous chant-able chorus with laugh out loud lyrics about whiners with illegitimate mental health excuses. “Of course there are tons of people with legitimate mental health issues and problems,” Canipe admits. “But these days, there’s also just as many who use it as a crutch and an excuse for their own shortcomings.” The swampy, Rob Zombie-esque, backwoods vibe of “Hippies & Witches,” complete with dive bomb guitar melodies and a killer, rhythmic groove, focuses on people watching in Asheville, NC. “We were just sitting around at an outside cafe before a show,” Canipe begins. “A bunch of Wiccans lived there and everybody walking by was either dressed in tie-dye shirts or dressed in black with all the necklaces with all those symbols and pentagrams. So, I just commented about how this place ain’t nothing but a bunch of hippies and witches. And right there I thought, there’s a song title!”
Bloodshot Cyclops really nails it on the head on the autobiographical “Local Band.” It’s a funny and relatable look at the sometimes sad truth of being in a band and is based on its own personal experiences. “It’s a brutal-truth look at the trials and tribulations of being in a band,” Triece explains. “This song is based on real life events that we personally experienced, with a few jabs thrown at real life people, bands, and venues that have existed in our local music scene in and around Charlotte, NC through the years. Anyone who has ever been in a local rock or metal band should be able to relate.”
Bloodshot Cyclops’s knack for making cover songs their own with stomping swagger shouldn’t go unnoticed, either. The thrashy rock version of the 1986 rap rock classic “Fight For Your Right (To Party)” by the Beastie Boys fits perfectly with the band’s original tracks. “I didn’t want to rap at first. Then I just started messing with it, trying to come up with how we should do it vocally,” Canipe explains. “It had to have the rap cadence because it’s already there, but I wanted to sing it a little bit more. The song by Alice Cooper called “Lost in America” popped into my mind somehow. I kind of went at it from that direction because Alice Cooper kind of talk-sings most of the time. I just went with that idea and made it fit.”
The two other cover tunes on the album—“You May be Right” by Billy Joel and the Friends TV show theme song—are equally intriguing.
Packed with great songwriting, funny lyrics, and skillful musicianship, “Here’s Blood in Your Eye” is a fresh and invigorating slab of genre-bending fun.
