Pompous asshole or eccentric genius? Acclaimed rockerboy Slavoj McAllister has ruffled feathers yet again following his most recent performance at nightclub Totentanz. While a rock concert brawl is no big news in itself, several unofficial sources allege it was McAllister who instigated the violent outbreak after hurling a tear gas canister at paparazzi in the crowd.
Before the booze-fueled melee got heated, the Cartesian Duelists premiered new songs "Cybernetic Soul," "Mind Is Freedom," and "Cogito Ergo Sum," which, as usual, have critics divided. Lyrically, the new singles touch on issues such as the internal struggle of body and mind, the limitations of our senses, and the search for absolute truths. Some critics consider the new material pseudointellectual drivel – others praise the band's fresh, innovative spin on the genre.
Beyond the brawl, even the McAllister's headlines are making headlines. When asked in an interview with N54 News what the cryptic title of the track "Cogito Ergo Sum" meant, the rockerboy replied he "ain't revved by questions from gonkbrained frauds... What are you?"
Despite (or perhaps thanks to?) the numerous controversies ever swirling around the Cartesian Duelists frontman, his popularity continues to swell. The band's new album is slated for release soon and, if you believe the chatter on the Net, it will be entitled "War of Truths."
