Masochistic Religion Singer almost stabbed to death in his Montreal
studio / apartment
Mitchell D. Krol (born James Junkin Jr. May 23rd 1966) leader and front
man of veteran Goth Rockers Masochistic Religion was almost stabbed to
death while working in his Montreal studio apartment late in February.
The singer who was recently featured in “The New Goth Bible - St.
Martin's Press” was working under his birth name James Junkin Jr. on his
upcoming CD titled “Swamp Music” when he was attacked with a butcher
knife by his 19 year old room mate suffering serious wounds to the face
neck and back. The room mate had decided that Krol “must die” after
having taken acid.
Krol managed to escape his attacker and found his way to a nearby
hospital leaving a trail of blood that the police would later follow.
The attacker, also covered in blood followed but gave up chase. He was
later picked up by police whom he also threatened with a knife.
After several days in hospital, and several more weeks in bed, Krol is
now recovering in Montreal under the care of his girlfriend Maria Lyne
Chretien.
The attempted murder suspect is free on bail awaiting trial.

That's nice to hear, I guess. Still, I'm not sure what he has
to do with us.

Yup. They're okay.

Depends on whether or not you believe that time is linear, I suppose.

Yep. They were a fixture on the Toronto scene for a long
time, and they performed at C4. Mitch used to have a Sunday
night radio show from midnight til 3 AM, and I used to
listen to it all the time.

It must have been PCP. When you drop acid, you're aware of who you are
and what you are doing. You end up watching the wall breathe, bend
household plants in your mind and watch "The Simpsons" in slow motion.
With PCP, you think you dellusions are real and you go to extreme
measures to deal with them, like stabbing yourself to rid your body of
worms.
Regardless, that's pretty goth to be attacked by a butcher knife.

deep voice. Matt listened to it.

increasingly disturbed at my total abscence of memory. :)

I'd agree that PCP is more likely to trigger a violent episode,
but it does happen on acid; more often so with high doses, or if someone
takes it without realising (eg: as a result of being spiked). Iirc, a
certain couple from this very newsgroup had a flatmate start chasing
people around with an axe during an acid trip.

That was it! Beyond The Gates of Hell on CIUT.

There was a bit of rotating line-up. Mitch Krol wrote the
songs, sang and played guitar. The group was his baby. He
also bartended at The Rivoli. He was tall, with really long,
thick hair that was dyed about 6 different colours all at
once.
Mopa Dean played bass, and he was also the music director
for CIUT. Martine Matthews played cello and sang and spent a
lot of time staring menacingly at people.

He may have dry cleaned them or something. He stage managed
a couple of shows that LD50 did, and I didn't notice any
untoward odours.

be fair, it was hot at civ, too.

Hilarious!
Although I gather a goodly portion of the audience didn't get the joke.
