CVLT Nation is about many things, and one of the most important things we are about is providing a platform for creative humans worldwide to express themselves. I have said it before, I really dig the way that this zine has connected us to some interesting and inspiring individuals on a global level. Jaime Christ, of the band Fifteen Dead from Aberdeen, Scotland, is one of those humans. Not only does his band create some of the sickest blackened crust from the depths of the underworld, but he also found time to make an awesome documentary, SCOTTISH D.I.Y: Palace of Crust. This short documentary focuses on a punk house, where he also happens to live. This film is epic on so many levels, and no matter where you are from, you can relate to the spirit of it. It is so cool to see these Scottish punks coming together for the love of the music and their common bond of not buying into what the masses see as “normal.” Jaime is smart to allow each band to say what is on their minds, which makes you give a shit about where they were coming from. The live footage in this documentary is off the fucking hook. As one of the artists says, all of the groups have their own sound, and he is so right. All sorts of genres are represented in SCOTTISH D.I.Y: Palace of Crust with the utmost respect. There are parts of this film that gave me chills of joy, and the bonds that everyone shares brought tears to my eyes as I watched it. I want Jaime and the beings in this movie to know that they are a huge inspiration to what we do at CVLT Nation. To anyone reading this post: please share SCOTTISH D.I.Y: Palace of Crust with your friends! I would write more, but fuck it, just check out this killer flick below…In Crust We Trust!

Hm, I dont know…all these slow-mos and the emotional interlude-music…it just kinda seems like overblown pathos.
