Porn is the demented child of one Tim Moss. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, Moss fronted the cult band Ritual Device, forging links with the West Coast with the patronage of Frank Kozik's Man's Ruin Records. Eventually Moss moved out to the Bay Area where Men of Porn was born. In the stellar company of Melvins' stalwart Dale Crover (on drums) and omnipresent uber-producer Billy Anderson (on bass), this is a 'Power Trio' in the truest sense of the phrase. Since 1999, they have released three albums and toured the world as the de facto Melvins' support band, thanks to Tim Moss's day job as the band's tour manager.
In 2008 for their album "...And the Devil Makes Three", and the nascent release on Southern's brand new imprint Truth Cult, the intrepid low-end experimenters enlist the help of Japanese noise demigod Masami Akita (aka Merzbow). Collaborating across the album's twelve tracks, the fearless Masami layers scree and grafts gristle onto their already dense muscular creations - this is a marriage made in Blake's Heaven & Hell; their two uniquely singular approaches blending seamlessly to create a portentous hybrid beast of no equal.

Porn & Merzbow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Idolize all your traits of superstar
Feel the strength of your golden pride
And spread your juice so long desired
Can you visualize them?
Can you recognize them?
Have you seen their interest
In those x-rated tales of yours
Can you humanize all the acts that please your temptation?
Can you publicize all the things that feed your name
Few times you still explore something like shame
Few times fever distillates
Mankind codes are left to calibrate, screens shall scream all the love you give to them now
Can you visualize them?
Can you recognize them?

Have you seen their interest
In those x-rated tales of yours
The lyrics to "X" by Porn & Merzbow explore the themes of self-identity, celebrity culture, and the power dynamics of sex. The first stanza encourages the listener to visualize and idolize themselves as a "superstar," reveling in the feeling of pride and desire. The second stanza shifts to a more confrontational tone, asking the listener whether they can humanize and publicize their sexual acts without shame, and whether they've noticed the interest others have in those explicit stories.
Throughout the song, there is a focus on the visual and audible aspects of sex and self-presentation. The repeated refrain of "Can you visualize them? Can you recognize them?" seems to interrogate the listener's ability to understand and control both their own desires and their image in the eyes of others. The lines "screens shall scream all the love you give to them now" and "purify them / visualize them" suggest a hedonistic obsession with maximizing one's pleasure and exposure.
