Dom when I was in the blitz (having horlicks with my granny )I don't
remember 'death metal' music being around we but did have a wind up
gramophone Harry Lauder comes to mind
Cheers P
Or was this some recent blitz out your way??

The following are lyrics from my current favourite band, the Australian
"Portal":
"The Sourlows"
Merchants plot, oubliettes poise
Dank ill begot, harrowing diffuse
Sinking liths ferment
Heedless bill of fare
Murmur depth of field
Silage digest ... drank of peril
Till father terror firma
Mephitic yield consummates
Faction conseeds
Adjourning mills ... ensue
* * *
They are delivered in an ominous rasping growl over a roiling chaos of
obscene noise: "death metal played on a gramophone during the blitz"...
