SUBMIT TO BONDAGEWOUND!
What is there to say about Bondagewound that hasn't been said before? As we all know, he is the greatest and most credible entity that has ever existed throughout the whole time period during which things either did or did not exist, but did you know that he is indeed the handsomest entity around? It's true! He ranked as #1 in "Seventh Circle's Sexiest Entity Alive" article (#2 Samael, #3Abdul the cat).
Bondagewound is always very busy. He spends most of his time working on a solo music career (under the stage name Blood-Spewing Mucus Brain), and working with countless groups. Among the most popular of these groups are the power/death metal mavens Smut Crëm (Bondagewound plays guitar, lead guitar, vocals), hardcore organoids Nipple Pus/Road-kill Caught On Tape (guitar), the Avant-Post Noise duo Okapi (mandolin, recorder, vocals, samples, percussion), and the seventeen piece tech/grind outfit Satanic Warship (B-wound plays lead guitar, rhythm guitar, lead vocals, background vocals, bass, drums). But perhaps Bondagewound's greatest accomplishment was helping to form the seminal thrash/grind band Fvck Face (guitar and vocals under the stage name Exit Wound). Fvck Face changed the face of popular and underground music with their short, catchy songs, and their addictive vocals parts (courtesy of vocalist Hollowpoint). In addition to these previously mentioned groups, Bondagewound has been spotted jamming with ageing rockers "Nobody Named Al," and members of the rock group "Ground Monkeys." Bondagewound has also been a part of a general, jazz "collective." These musicians rotate the lineups of their groups, performing, recording, and then dissolving. Bondagewound has also released solo guitar work.
All in all, Bondagewound's musical accomplishments are, at the very least, mindblowing. But they would be nothing without his other, numerous feats. Bondagewound has been a spiritual leader for 19 years. All around the world, scores of people all turn to Bondagewound for the answers to their questions, and the solutions to their problems. Bondagewound is also a published author and has contributed several works to literary publications. As Robertson Davies put it shortly before his death, "Shakeswho? Just give me a Bondagewound!"
So Bondagewound has reached the pinnicle of artistic achievement. He is a testament to existence, showing the heights that an entity can reach if he tries.
