A few weeks ago, a BW reader, calling himself a Juggalo, called to ask why we didn't run more reviews of albums released by Michigan-based hardcore rap label Psychopathic Records. Juggalos and Juggalettes are followers of PR artists Insane Clown Posse. They are not followers in the same sense that Deadheads are. Being a Juggalo is akin to being a member of a religion. And the 20-something Juggalo reader wanted to spread the word. (He'd even recently gotten a Hatchetman-ICP's logo-tattoo in spite of his dad's warning.) Well, reader, we'll do you one better. We'll let people know that Dark Lotus is coming to town.
Dark Lotus is an amalgamation of members of PR bands not includes Jamie Madrox and Monoxide Child of Twiztid; Blaze Ya Dead Homie of well, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope of Insane Clown Posse. The group has put out several albums, the most recent of which is 2008's The Opaque Brotherhood. It, like the band's previous albums, is not family friendly fare, the explicit lyrics garnering it a parental advisory sticker. The lyrics may be enough to make even the burliest biker blush, but there's no arguing with the killer beats and melodies. So all you Juggalos, gather 'round and hear the (dirty) word. And for the original reader, well, now he'll have a place to show off his new ink.
