NOISE!  BETRAYAL! DISASTER!  Here comes Hitler, STRUTTIN' THAT ASS with the newly dubbed top-dawgz of the Third Reich, briskly marching close behind that which never ceases to strut on its way to world domination.  Yea, an alternate universe in which the Nazis never got merked back in La Segunda Guerra del Mundo would most likely be a depressing suck-ass of a time, but would erecting 4 replicas of the Eiffel Tower to represent the 5 continents that are actually worth conquering* make up for it?  Who knows, but some band- named after an agreement on what pet animal to be wished for every year the members’ respective b-days candles were blown out- wrote an album about it.  

The Rhinoceros Pact is a noise rock duo consisting of brothers Myles and Jake O'Donnell, two pretentious lads who shamelessly embrace that whole trendy “DIY or DIE ethos” that seems to be super “in” these days.  Hailing from the youthful and vibrant music scene found in the western suburbs of Chicago, BIG EUROPE is the first full-length that RP has dropped, back in July 2010.  Essentially, the Rhino Pact sucks Lightning Bolt’s proverbial noise rockin’ balls on the regs via writing music heavily inspired by the dual-Brian action of the duo from Providence.  Chock-full of thrifty thrash-filled fun and super-silly noises that somehow manage to come out of a drum set and a bass guitar with some effects.  Music well suited to perform a properly executed ACID DANCE!

Here’s a tasty little snippet of a synopsis that explains the back story of this goofily dark concept album:
“Taking place in a parallel universe during World War II, Hitler's army has won the Battle Of Britain after bombing the shit out of it, and launching Operation Sea Lion, a full frontal amphibious invasion of the British Isle. With all of Europe under Axis control, Russia declares a second armistice with Germany and pulls their troops from the western front. As Hitler sits in his throne in New Berlin, Britain he awaits the American offensive against him. It never comes...”
(Written by bassist/samplist/mad-demon-noise-scientist Jake O’Donnell)


today i'll leave all you fiends on a good (dissonant) note with a link to a cute little animated music film for the 8th track off of BIG EUROPE... crucified crow

Seriously for real,

*For all you hopefully-soon-to-be-offended-big-on-“PC” types, The 5 Continents That Are Actually Worth Conquering consist of: North America, South America, Europe, Australia, and Antarctica.
