Plato's Deathmetal Tumors

Plato's Deathmetal Tumors

Many years ago I was working with Lance Olsen on 10:01, an interactive novel / web site based on his original novel. He mentioned to me he would like to see a link for a fictional band formed by Mosh, a character in the novel. The band was called Plato's Deathmetal Tumors. Naturally, I said, "Sure."

However, I thought it would be a nice touch to also have a song on the site, so I asked him what the band was supposed to be like. I also created an album cover and called the album "Splatter Grey Matter."

Lance replied something to the effect, "A bad death metal band. Mosh is not a great singer."

So I took that and ran with it. I created a "bad" metal song called Krasin' (made with Garageband) and slapped it on our fake site.

I had forgotten all about it after all these years, but I ran across it recently. It is too funny. Just be forewarned it is bad... it seems right that you should know that before you visit the band's website.
