Steel Fucking Morticians

Conceived from a magazine article in the mid 80s that criticized the proliferation of Satanic Metal bands, Gary and Morgan from Queens, NY wrote lyrics for the ludicrously titled songs depicted in the article. In 1994 the band was formed and recorded an album's worth of material at Tin Pan Alley Studios months after the Beastie Boys recorded there. Although short lived, SFM uniquely combined the sounds of NY Hardcore and the structured improvisation of John Zorn's Naked City. Unlike typical death metal, Morgan's vocals are powerful, yet intelligible and hunorous,lending full weight to the absurd depictions of Satanic rites.
