hmorg:
So I had one more song in me after all. When grocery shopping after work, I thought about the Mega Man 2 challenge and there and then I realized who the most dangerous Mega Man boss is: Florida Man. And as Florida is home to many great death metal bands, I decided to do the song in that style, following the formula rather loosely (180 bpm, harmony is thirds of melody, the 3 parts played twice through that I remember from last year). When it was mostly ready, I decided it could use some vocals, and as I can't record vocals at home and had no time to go to my practice space, I asked my friend and bandmate @emplate to help. Luckily, he had the time and he wrote some pretty awesome lyrics to boot.
emplate:
So @hmorg asked if I could deliver some vocals and lyrics to his death metal piece. He gave me the theme, and I threw some stream of consciousness together (although "Florida man kidnaps doctor" and "Florida man resurrects dog" were examples offered by hmorg which I used) and recorded the vocals pretty much with the first take. Was fun to deliver something not so serious for a change, actually!
Florida man eats raw chicken
Florida man kidnaps doctor
Florida man resurrects dog
Florida man shoots hurricane
Florida man takes on King Kong
Florida man stages moon flight
Florida man uses voodoo
Florida man thinks he’s an airplane
Florida man fights with a squirrel
Florida man counts one, two, four
Florida man dreams of love
Florida man gets abducted
Florida man takes on King Kong
Florida man stages moon flight
Florida man uses voodoo
Florida man thinks he’s an airplane

Oh my goodness! This was so random I had to laugh. The change-up in the vocal for the second half of each line in the chorus was great. I needed a smile. And here I didn't think I enjoyed death-metal.

I am a Florida Man myself. and I am all too aware of the various Florida Men you mention. (And I did already know - although I haven't listened much - that Florida has a death metal scene.)
Rockin' good punk/thrash fun - perked me up from my afternoon lull. Thanks!

Oh... my... this is exactly what Florida Man needs. The lyrics are hilarious (and accurate???) and the deep growl vocals work so well. I can absolutely imagine this playing over a montages of "Florida Man" news segments.

i am amazed by the singing but the lyrics are awesome.

wicked!! went on another huge early grindcore kick last year - carcass, napalm death, extreme noise terror, electro hippies, sore throat - so i'm very happy to get some FAWMcore in March!!
love that gnarly guitar tone, and let the drums bring the thunder

I was a bit puzzled by the Mega Man tag at first, but it makes perfect sense now. Thanks for making one more song, this was necessary.
@chroes Mar 2022
Hahaha, this is super fun! Loved the shredding, the grunting and the lyrics!
@juiciusmaximus Mar 2022
Hahahaa! This really saved my day. Raw death metal, raw vocals and lyrics then little bit tongue in cheek. Yes!
