give Norra Jones a shot of heroin, and viola! .. you have Velvet Cacoon!!


Just because their name is VC and they used to play Black Metal doesn't make this a piece of art :wink: anybody could have done this, ha ha :lol:

So you are saying that playing the black metal you love requires a lot of talent?


nope :D ... well.. some of it does... but being able to make good music doesn't only depend on how good you're playing your instrument, but also how you manage to make use of your skills - and that's the hardest skill of them all. Some genres are better to conceal errors and lausy guitarplay/ piano etc... i'm just saying that anybody could have "written" this demo-thingy and it's not all that speciel, except the cheap muddy production of course.... besides, it's too damn short.

Can't you give me a better reason than "My daughter could do that too" at a Picasso? If you think it's too damn short, you liked it enough to want it to be longer, right? ;)

i didn't say my "daughter could do that too" ( i don't have a daughter)... i said it wasn't speciel except a few things, like u have said so many times before ( without giving proper explanation either). I liked it a bit, i gave it 50 didn't? - and that's after i substracted from various reasons, including stumpling pianoplay... I don't listen to black metal either if the drummer can't keep up the pace or if the guitarplayer can't time his riffs etc.
Don't tell me you think the lenght is perfect.. cuz it isn't!!! Moody music with this many balls in the air equals longer albums!!!


anywho... can't see the point in reviewing this since the album is limited to 33 copies :roll: .. i would have been called various negative black metal poser names if i did a review on a black metal demo that limited since nobody would be able to get it anyway :D !

I can only hope that these guys don't take anything they do seriously, because they would be a magnificent joke, if nothing else.

Biggest joke is that it seems all band members have titties!

:rolleyes: Idiots... One can only wonder if this is another rumour started by themselves. I think I'll check out the original though. Could be interesting.

Velvet Cacoon is apparently 30 ppl plus. She could be a disgruntled ex-member.

Although they did make up the dieselharp, and half the releases on their website dont exist!

Genevieve rules, Im pretty sure THAT albums real, peace out. :wub:

That's probably how they claimed it! Damn, this Miranda Lehman kicks ass, I hereby love it!

Josh's message taken from their google e-group:
Quote:
And on the subject of Velvet Cacoon, the band is a total fraud. Nothing about it holds any importance. The "How the Last Day" demo isn't even us. It's Miranda Lehman from Portland. (check the Wiki site). "Dizzy" isn't us. It's "My Violent Ego". Nothing is us. "Northsuite" was recorded in 3 hours and sold to a fake label who paid us enough for rent and substances. That's why its so terrible. We're utter bastards. We have no respect for anything. Now we're beginning the campaign to show just what we've done. We are walking examples of what far too many drugs will do. They make you crave havoc. They make you want to turn the world upside down while laughing like a maniac.

And now the soft afterglow sets in. VC is winding down. One last album. One final collection. And the damn thing isn't even recorded yet. Maybe we'll just steal it too. I must tell you that our correspondence will not continue much longer. I'm going to make a clean break - you'll know when the moment hits. You'll know exactly what I mean too.

First, I must convince the world that I am nothing special or intelligent, nor was Velvet Cacoon. If there was discussion about us before, I can only imagine what is about to come.

Feel free to spread this letter.


Haha, I totally called this shit.

BUT, Genevieve had not been revealed as fake, neither has Dextronaut. So BM VC = Good still. :)

Newer VC = Going to look up the artists that realy wrote the music :lol:
