As you have feared, there will be some mailing to do. You should not be surprised really, as this is the most common purpose of the chain letters.
Some people would call this SPAM. They are right. This is Special Post About Me. Spam. Correct.
I know most people like simple, straightforward instructions, so let us come to what is required of you (remember this as the requirements section if you need to go back and consult it later, though I believe most people will be able to understand and remember this without repetition).
1. Read the letter in its entirety. Don't skip passages. Every word could be important.2. Send this letter to as many people as you can remember.
I know other chain letter suggest 5 or 10 people, but let's not limit ourselves here. Nobody enjoys being limited and I will not want you to feel limited.
Limited yourself to five persons could (and will!) cause severe psychological damage. Just think for a minute. Do you have only five friends (including parents, siblings)? You don't actually know more than five people? You have been living on desolate island without electricity for the last 50 years (in that case please note that this letter is not real and you are in serious trouble)? A virus deleted your address book? You are in a hurry and have no time for shit like that? Do you want to admit any of that?
Send it to everyone you know! Now.
The purpose of this letter (now that had supposedly circled the world) is as indicated in the title. To those with short term memory problems I will repeat it: Spreading The Exquisite Music of LaughingSkull. (Remember this as the purpose section if you need to go back and consult it later).
That is rather simple, isn't it.
Followed below are 'The Links'. (It sounds like the holy grail, I know, and in a way it might as well be.)
At those links you will find the aforementioned music of LaughingSkull. Like this, for example:
LaughingSkull on SoundClick with possibilities for endless listening and free download. (and where several LaughingSkull songs have reached No.1.positions on Metal, Rock and even Jazz charts).
LaughingSkull on ReverbNation where basically
LaughingSkull at AMADea Records where you can obtain your own copy of both albums 'Labyrinths Of The Soul' and 'Captured In Mind'
; or navigate from there to your favourite CD stores such as Amazon, CD Baby or any other around the world.
Here you can read the praise of doom metal community.
While you are obliged to do the sending (read two requirements above again if you forgotten already) or else ... (read the eternal curse below), you have no obligation to buy anything. That being said, if you like what you hear, nobody will think bad of you if you do buy a CD (or all or more of them for that matter (you don't know what to give people for Christmas ?- (those you really (don't) like?)); read more in the blessing section below what kind of divine blessings my fall upon you if you do).
Now we have arrived to the rather unpleasant part. At least for those who were thinking about neglecting the requirements. We will refer to this section as the eternal curse section. Hopefully it does not concern you.
You might have been aware already of the golden tradition the chain letters have. If requirements are not fulfilled, disastrous things begin to happen to the unfortunate soul who deemed him of herself immune to the divine prosecution.
Thus it came to pass that James Hetfield (of Metallica) upon receiving this letter said: "I am in a hurry and have no time for shit like that"; then went into rehab and forget all about it. Then a most bizarre and unexplained thing happened. A Grammy for best metal performance went to ..... a blues rock band with flute solos ... Jethro Tull. ReferenceJames contemplated the error of his ways for a while, than had epiphany, saw the light and bought several CDs of LaughingSkull. The Grammy awards that came after that are too numerous to mention.
Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi (better know as colonel Gaddafi) received this letter. (He was not mentioned in it at the time yet). He had all intentions to send it around, but virus ate his address book. He erroneously thought that this excused him from sending the letter to everyone he knows. He woke the next day to the sound of US air force. Not a altogether convincingly pleasant sound. (Many people indeed prefer LaughingSkull music).
Elvis Aaron Presley, hidden on a remote Pacific island, decades after faking his own death, received this e-mail. He was nonplussed, the King should not be bothered. And anyway, 'Why should he care about stupid Grammys'. He obiously took Hetfields blunder too literally. Apart from that, he didn't knew any people anymore. He was alone on the island. No one to send the emails to. So he was f***ed. Totally (Did you notice the past tense I used?). Not taking into the account the possible secret nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific, Elvis is now in hell, listening to 'Expect No Mercy' on repeat. Hell can be like that, sometimes...
Chuck Norris just could not be bothered. He deleted the mail instantly. Without reading. Then went to trash folder and delete it once again. Few minutes later his doorbell rang. When he opened the door, Jack Bauer stood there. Jack killed him. Jack put him in the trash dispenser. Then killed him again. Now you know what is at stake.
We have arrived finally to the much anticipated blessing section. We could have read here a bunch of happy stories about people who did what was required of them and had their life fulfilled with unimagined bliss. Nobody really enjoys reading happy stories so I won't bother you with them.
OK, OK, just a few if you insist.
Mary, from a small village just outside Kent (not to be mistaken with Betlehem), went to buy a lottery ticket one day. Just before that, she sent this letter to 37 friends (just thinking how lucky she is, knowing and be loved by that many people). She won the main prize of 10M pounds in the next Sunday draw, but unexpectedly two more persons paid in the same number combination. 3.3 M pounds is quite a good catch, she thought to herself happily. To celebrate her happiness she indulged herself and bought a collection of LaughingSkull CDs. She was notified by the National Lottery the very next day that the other two persons cheated and the whole 10 million is hers!
Friedrich, bank clerk in the major bank in Frankfurt, received the letter and send it further within hour to 257 friends, clients and co-workers. He found out that afternoon, that by some freakish nature's accident, his lawn filled with four-leaf clover overnight. Friedrich became the top exporter of lucky charms in the world and lives happily ever after in .... Frankfurt (Germans will be Germans). His free time is filled with the sound of melancholic progressive metal sounds (his favourite LaughingSkull CDs! if you are not intelligent enough to get a hint)
Janica Kostelic, famous Croatian skier, received this letter just before Olympic games in 2002. Promptly she send it to everyone (and she knew a lot of people. I mean A LOT) and for good measure bought several CDs and gave them as gifts to her adversaries. She won 3 gold medals in that games (just sending the letter would secure silver medals only). Several of her adversaries complained later that the could not train properly because they were hooked on some good music ... (I guess even less intelligent might understand a hint at this point).
Jack Bauer has all LaughingSkull CDs. Terrorists has none.
Natural evolution of events brought us to the benefits section. As you may have deduced by now, several people who not only have passed this letter to their numerous contacts, but also purchased one or several instances of CDs, have experienced extraordinary events in their life. Events that changed their lives beyond their wildest dreams.
I think it is quite straightforward to realize the basic benefits of possession of LaughingSkull CD (apart from the obvious reason to have good music on a cool looking disc).
You will appear even cooler to the opposite sex, due to the clear indication of your intrinsic qualities to recognize the quality. Your adversaries would envy your cool taste and cultural distinction. Your self-confidence will grow to the unimaginable proportions and you will find the power to do things you ever dreamed about.
I guess that's it. I did my best not to mention the genre, because most people hate Metal (Oops).
To summarize: you are to do the requirement or else suffer eternal curse. If you do the requirement, you will be blessed and will acquire several benefits. And the letter will served its purpose.
Finally, I thank you If you were patient enough to read through the letter. No good deed goes unpunished.
Go on then, you know what to do.
take care
LaughingSkull
