Fueled by Fire are boring as shit live. Saw them open for, I think, Municipal Waste, who admittedly will make any band seem boring, but they were still pretty damn boring. Did I mention that they're boring?
SSS, on the other hand, are totally awesome.

Fueled by Fire just signed to Metal Blade, so I don't know what that says about metal blade in 2007.

Although I did like the Middian album, which is doom but doesn't smell good at all.

More dollar death:

Also on Grind Core, cover art also by Cradle of Filth dude. Apparently Tipper Gore didn't like these guys in the 80s, but this one is from 1992, with the main guy and some scabs. Crap production (obviously), but it's actually pretty tuneful. The local used record store has tons of Grind Core releases in the dollar bin.

i think the tipper gore hated impaler was the other one, the silly american one.

i really like this band a lot. they sound like DRI. and they have a song on this album about Capenter's "The Thing" called..."The Thing".
Antarctica winter 1982 research was going steady, And there was nothing much to do In the distance a lone wolf flees, But no one knows the carnage that this animal will bring VIOLENE UNFOLDS Assaulted by Norwegian guests theyll have to die like all the rest SEARCHING THROUGH SNOW Discovering the frozen corpse of something thats not of this earth THE CREATURE COMES FORTH An evil makes its presence known attempting to create a clone NOWHERE TO GO And something grim is at hand something in this arctic land The Thing, No one knows the hell it will bring Its got you from the inside, Its taking over your life Intensions so unexplained, Until the gets a hold of your brain Hiding till the damage is done, Killing them off one by one The sense of fear begins to grow, and no one has protection from this dangerous infection Their fates in the hands of the unknown, and nerves are quickly blowing while the thing is steadily growing Whom to trust theyll never now And nothing can contain a creature of the unexplained Half the crews dead more to go Somehow its got to stop and now McReady's getting pissed off Now theres nothing left to do Discovering whose human is what this final test will prove Deadly results are what this test brings But its the final hope to unveil this gruesome being VIOLENCE UNFOLDS The test was the solution now its time for execution SEARCHING THROUGH SNOW And now Blair is the last Thing left Hell fight until his dying breath THE CREATURE COMES FORTH But this will be the final clash and kills it with a giant blast NOWHERE TO GO Our heros fate is finally sealed The camp is lost The Thing is killed (or is it?)

Impaler do a song called "Black Leather Monster." Is that a cover of The Plasmatics' song on Metal Priestess?
I did a paper on the PMRC in high school and picked the NASTIEST lyrics I could find to quote. I think the winner was a song called "Golden Showers" (I think) by The Mentors. Something about leaving a shit tower on someone's face. It felt sooooooo good writing the phrase "shit tower" in a formal high school paper. My teacher wrote "yuk!" in the margins. I got an A.

the new Blood Freak album on Razorback btw, while not taking itself too seriously (Razorback's kind of a mondo sorta label), is great - good riffs & freaking incredible tone on the solos

i like it. i'd never heard whitehorse before. they do the ugly epic doom thing very well. i might like that monarch! double cd on crucial blast more though. maybe.
You might still be able to pick up the 2nd and 3rd live cdrs of Whitehorse(the 1st one is on that 20 buck spin cd). The Monarch is great. Compiles two vinyl releases and a tour single. Also pick up the 1st double cd "666". It's killer!

i'm sad that oystein doesn't feel the grim anymore :( Yes, it's all very terrible. I actually traded my copy of Countess' "Ad maiorem smashing superhits" for a Ruins record this weekend. What has become of me!
(on the plus side, I did hold the fire hire last night be enjoying some fine Sabbat - Satanasword action). Not very mean, nasty, ugly, evil METAL though. Just fun and metal. Maybe a bit evil, eh.)

is there any point to providing myspace links to stuff? i'm just curious. is it helpful? do people actually check stuff out? i do if it really seems like something i would like. i just wonder if its a waste of time.
― scott seward, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 15:02 (sixteen years ago) link
These are the kind of people one might see at the guitar store, the music store or anywhere else for that matter and think to oneself, "Man, what a dipshit! Grow up, retard."
Then, one might go home and put on their album and say, "Damn, these guys ROCK!"

i check them out if the description sounds interesting. like later i intend to dig graves in the sky cause that sounds like my bag.
anyway... does kreator count for this thread circa "coma of souls?" i just rebought it on cd and it's pretty killer. but around this point they're starting to look less like guys who'd get arrest for breaking beer bottles in a cemetary and more like guys who paint houses for a living and get arrested for having one spindly weed plant in their back window.
― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Wednesday, 27 June 2007 15:08 (sixteen years ago) link
the grave in the sky album is soooooooooooooooo good.

you can certainly talk about kreator here. and sodom and destruction if you'd like.

I don't listen to myspace stuff no, and it's not 'cause I'm a snob - it's 'cause the player doesn't feed to my speakers, and that's how I wanna hear stuff
― J0hn D., Wednesday, 27 June 2007 17:34 (sixteen years ago) link
i just wish everyone could hear how friggin' massive the actual grave in the sky cd is. so loud. seriously, i can't even put the volume up halfway, i'd break my speakers. i love how they get the psychedelic element right in their doom. so hypnotic. and so fierce.

Sometimes it appears as if everyone who likes evil etc metal in the world (and even some who don't) must be in evil etc metal bands. Except for Scott.

It's all up to you. Since you can work alone on computer, it has to be doable.

You'd have to be better than Striborg and Zweiz. People probably even know you better than them, anyway.

why do people hate on striborg so much, I kinda dig it
― J0hn D., Wednesday, 27 June 2007 23:35 (sixteen years ago) link
i like striborg. i haven't heard nefaria but i like the other one southern lord did, i dig his defiant use of as few notes as possible. like he's so into the first one he doesn't really want to get off it but knows technically it isn't a riff otherwise.
― GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ, Thursday, 28 June 2007 04:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Defiant use of as few notes as possible. Almost makes it sound like he's just playing "Louie Louie" instead of the trash that's on the CD. I bet Striborg can't actually play "Louie Louie." He would self-destruct.

the grave in the sky album is just wonderful and definitely the best of the three that i got from those dudes. but i do like the other two as well. it's just that the grave in the sky is just TOTAL, you know. one of those albums that seems like some sort of definitive statement.
