Just last week, our illustrious writer Gary shared his thoughts on black midi‘s latest effort Cavalcade, released in May of this year. And now, as if in response, the band he described as “post-punk Buddhist monks” have released a live performance of that album’s “John L”, sped up and renamed “John Hell.” And though the frenzied update of the tune could be described as anything but zen, it’s a blast to watch and listen to and the band certainly seems to be enjoying themselves a hell of a lot, if you’ll excuse the terribly awful pun.
Check out the video for “John Hell” below.
