SATANIC SPORTS BLOOPERS

NEW ALBUM
OUT TODAY album #8 of the 12 part Lame Years series; "Styxxx Henderson Presnts: Satanic Sports Bloopers".  The album is less chord and melody driven than other albums in the series and focuses more on bringing the riffs and noise.  i think it is the heaviest and most experimental album yet in the series.  i played all the stuff on it and Jon Hansen did the most of the mixing and all of the mastering. You can stream and download the album here:
