Ramallah now available in Thorp Store!
Ramallah - Kill a Celebrity
RAMALLAH is the product of Rob ?White Trash? Lind (BLOOD FOR BLOOD, SINNERS AND SAINTS) taking a quick snapshot of the current turmoil of the world
with the angry camera of his soul. RAMALLAH is a horrifying window into the sheer depravity and brutality that has resulted from the mantra of an eye
for an eye and the credo of "do unto others as they have done unto you". RAMALLAH seeks to expose the ugliness of the bloodshed we get a sneak peak of
in the evening news. Rob explains, "We live in terrible times. People should be terrified and horrified and disgusted at what's going on in this world
and in their name every single day. Ramallah is here to shove it all right down their throats." Musically, RAMALLAH blends apocalyptic metal and
chorus-oriented hardcore with eerie melody to result in a potent style of aggressive music. On RAMALLAH?s debut full length, ?Kill A Celebrity?, Rob
cohesively blends the best elements of metal, hardcore, punk, and rock ?n? roll, to create a challenging, disturbing, and thoroughly convicting, epic
masterpiece that is as much political and prophetic as it is personal and revealing. RAMALLAH's main lyrical thrust is to uncover the death, disease,
and sickness that is the world's current climate, and that is prevalent in the fa?ade of contemporary pop culture. ?Kill A Celebrity? targets directly
the vanity and superficial focus of Hollywood and the divas and rock stars that grace the airwaves of MTV. The record also poignantly exposes the
horrors and effects of child abuse, the stinging scars of poverty, and the global effect of suffering in a war-torn world. In the end though, it is
clear, that the voice of RAMALLAH, though clearly angered, is one that is ultimately ??searching for a heart of gold to tell me the truth.?

I don't want to jinx anything but I think if done right it could be big on more than just an underground level. Maybe that's just silly worship of my
older brothers' talents but maybe Andy from Thorp could weigh in here and tell us what he thinks since he is the specialist in releasing, marketing
and selling CD's.

It certainly has the potential!
If Ramallah scores a good opening slot of a national tour that's doing 500 nightly, 20-30 shows, that'll definitely help.

I think that with the weight of current times on humanitys shoulders now a days, more people who would have never thought to listen to this type of
music are going to find something in this release.
With the levels of hate and dread that the world is expierencing right now, this is going to be like the dropping of the brick on the head of the
world. I cant wait to see what kind of reaction this cd is going to get with non hxc punk people.

i am wondering if Thorp is expecting anything negative about the album and its title.
unfortunately there are plenty of PC crybabies out there that i could see complaining about this.
\"thank you very little\"

In an attempt to address a number of points in this thread...
- first, thank you all for your enthusiasm and support. I can't believe how many 'ordered it' posts there are!
- orders will start shipping today.
- I think we ordered 15,000 of these, so, yes, I hope it does sell out.
- there is a video, and barring some unforeseen issue, we'll have it up for you tomorrow.
- we are taking a number of steps to get this release in front of a wider audience. More on that soon.
- we recognize that some people might not agree with the messages of the album or may be offended by the delivery, but we believe that even if that is
the case, this is an important record because it truly challenges you to consider you opinions.
- oh, and of course, happy birthday to crazyfists.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

I don't mean to equate Rob with anything that some of you may deem cheesey or goofy but I don't think he could/would get any more negative press than
an Eminem or Marilyn Manson. His music is more serious and less cartoony but those artists have already set precedent of pressing the publics' buttons
on lots of social issues. I think the time is right for someone to step up and slam these things down the publics' throats that won't try to dilute it
with a cute video (Eminem) or a sex-drugs-rocknroll excuse (Manson). I told Rob when I listened to this album with him that I felt like I was getting
a first hand listen to the next Appetite for Destruction because a) its brilliant and b) its ugly but true. I think the buzz is gonna start at the
ground level with all of us and if we do our part then it will spread like wildfire and then Thorp can take it to the masses.
The video is gonna seal the deal for a lot of people, I think.
Go Team Thorp!

It got my attention. I just ordered it.
