FK Alexander and two Scottish Hardcore bands (Coffin Mulch and Endless Swarm) meet in Glasgow’s Queen Margaret Union to duke it out in a heavy metal technology demolition sound clash death match over 3 hours, where pointless resentment, pink smoke and the faces of your favourite rock stars ’n' rapists fill the air!!!

destruction as a way of holding resentment
waste as a way of celebrating regret 
volume as a means  of cherishing violence
Decay is the light in the tunnel
Drilling down and out

Beginning its thinking with the 30 year old essay 'The Problem With Music' by record producer Steve Albini, this work is upset by the industrial disintegration of a disintegrating industry, The History Of Rock (tm) and the systems and stories it has sold. Crossing this reference with Mathew Barney's 'The Order' and situating it all in the artistic market place in 2023, FK is tasked with an existential end-game, destined to lose but compelled to play.

CDs, TVS, computers, trophies, pristine music encyclopaedias and more will meet the guillotine, the hammer or the wall, while old school death metal serenades.

NOTE: A previous version of this performance was created for the cancelled Take Me somewhere Festival in 2020. This version takes that one into account, and is powered by, the wider global and personal traumas that have been endured in that time. Be they visible, neurological or otherwise.
