• Liturgy equals posers?

    Jun 8 2009, 16h07

    I sure think so.

    Disclaimer: this article is not about the musical qualities of Liturgy's last album. This is about the lyrics particularly. Now, on the musical side, the album is pretty good. Too bad the lyrics are what they are...

    Liturgy's lyrics are supposed to be anti-christian (according to MA), but I'm not completely convinced about this.

    If anything, the lyrics strike me (for the most part) as being pro-christian, but in a non-orthodox way: they deny the church but praise the "lost gospels" which are supposed to be the words of Christ anyway.

    Let's quote Shrine of Moria: A battle for scripture and faith ensues, these are the lost gospels buried again, these are the words of Christ. buried again, these are the lost gospels, the faiths we never knew Notice this is a verse on its own and is not taken "out of context".

    Now check the lyrics for Shrouded in Suffering, as you can probably see, the lyrics are exposing the alteration of christian gospels, and the hiding of other less-known christian documents (probably referring to the dead sea scrolls, the gospel of Judas, or some shit like that). But it claims these hidden/buried/cryptic christian documents are "authentic relics", and that "Thomas must be heard". To me this only is against the modern view of christianity as supported by the catholic church, but it is in no way against "ancient" forms of christianity.

    And how about the lyrics on Scars of the Saints? They bash gnostic gospels, talk about a (christian) revelation coming form "documents of christian antiquity". And again claim modern "scholars" and believers are miles away from the truth that lies only in ancient and secret christian scripture. All of this is said in a way that makes me wonder why they're trying so hard not to use words that could be perceived as directly insulting modern christianity (and its branches and sub-divisions). It's as if they're merely stating their point without trying to make the church angry. This already seems like something that is way too soft for a Death Metal band, and miles away from being anti-christian.

    Other lyrics in the album condemn the church's past actions and how many people have died in the name of "god", and continue to identify "heretics" as people who don't follow the present views of christianity but rather are excommunicated because they follow what the true and ancient documents say, or at least that's what I make of it..

    Down of Ash's lyrics say: "Split a piece of wood and I am there.
    Lift a stone and you will find me." I will never
    rest until I am found.
    Obviously these are words which according to the bible were supposedly said by Christ.

    The closer you come, temptation grows stronger.
    You must find atonement for the demons. They
    will come and feed on the weak. I am all around
    you. I live inside you.
    This verse follows the one quoted above. It tells the listener that Christ lives inside him and is all around him. It mentions demons, but more in a personal way (avoiding temptation) than mythological, and even if it is said in the traditional sense, I see it as being rather misleading, for it mentions finding atonement (religious/spiritual reconciliation) for the demons, or you'll be weak and will become their food. Well, I still see no solid anti-christianity here, and this is the closest I see this album coming to being slightly anti-christian.

    Wounds of Christ is a full-on blowjob towards Jesus. I mean, come on! "Back lashings bleed as the blood odor reeks of flowers"? Fuck you.

    I could keep quoting lyrics from their one and only commercial album "Down of Ash", but I won't because going further into this would be giving them too much importance (as if I haven't done so already, hah). In any case, read the lyrics yourself if you still think they're "anti-christians".

    Perhaps I'm misunderestimating them; if so, you're free to explain this to me.

    Otherwise... I still think these people are posing as anti-christians to deliver a positive view on (ancient) christianity. For this reason I think:

    This band sucks ass.

    I also believe Liturgy are yet another band that has come to be part of a certain trend; a trend which has been seen a lot in American Death Metal, Brutal Death Metal and Deathcore bands in the last years: graphic and violence-ridden lyrics about gore, with no compromises--and yet, Christ-hugging morals underneath it all, and even some pro-Christian lyrics and messages buried within the walls of brutality. Yet another "Jesus is cool" movement, aimed to gain followers amongst death-metallers.

    These christian posers sicken me.

    The only two bearable songs in the album (lyrics-wise) are the Brodequin and Disgorge(US) covers, says I.

    Hey! Isn't this just funny?



    A genetic variation which evolved to protect people of African descent against malaria has now been shown to increase their susceptibility to HIV infection by up to 40 per cent, according to new research. Conversely, the same variation also appears to prolong survival of those infected with HIV by approximately two years.
    Good luck, Africa! HA HA HA.

    Discussing the findings, Professor Weiss said: "The big message here is that something that protected against malaria in the past is now leaving the host more susceptible to HIV".
    Weiss rhymes with Weiß. Quite a fitting lastname indeed!



    HIV affects 25 million people in sub-Saharan Africa today, an HIV burden greater than any other region of the world. Around 90 per cent of people in Africa carry the genetic variation, meaning that it may be responsible for an estimated 11 per cent of the HIV burden there. The authors observe that sexual behaviour and other social factors do not fully explain the large discrepancy in HIV prevalence in populations around the world
    CONTINENT IS CLOSED, DUE TO AIDS, MOVE ALONG.

    Lolololol.

    ALSO - Geneticists now show that a Cro-Magnoid individual who lived in Southern Italy 28,000 years ago was a modern European, genetically as well as anatomically.
    OK COOL, and after 28,000 years we still don't know how to properly shot web. I guess there weren't a lot of wikipedia contributors back in the paleolithic besides the classic obnoxious nerds (unlike myself, who am a non-obnoxious one).

    Ahmad Suradji was a serial killer in Indonesia. Suradji, a cattle-breeder born in 1951, he was also known as Nasib Kelewang, or by his alias Datuk. He admitted to killing 42 girls and women over a period of 11 years. His victims ranged in age from 11 to 30, and were strangled with a cable after being buried up to their waists in the ground as part of a ritual.
    Alright, now that guy knew how to party! ...But all good things must come to an end.

    Suradji was arrested on May 2, 1997, after bodies were discovered near his home on the outskirts of Medan, the capital of North Sumatra. He buried his victims in a sugarcane plantation near his home, with heads of the victims facing his house, which he believed would give him extra power.
    I guess you can never have enough murder-victim heads facing your house to avoid gettin' caught :/, is that a hair?.

    He told police that he had a dream in 1988 in which his father's ghost told him to kill 70 women and drink their saliva, so that he could become a mystic healer. As a sorcerer, women came to him for spiritual advice or on making themselves more beautiful or richer.
    Well, EX-Q-ZE MOI. But I think this charming individual was making quite a social service here, a few women had to die so their saliva would empower a man to make all other women HOT AND RICH, isn't that awesome?.



    His three wives―all sisters―were also arrested for assisting in the murders and helping to hide the bodies. One of his wives, Tumini, was tried as his accomplice. The trial began on December 11, 1997, with a 363-page charge against him, and although Suradji maintained his innocence, he was found guilty on April 27, 1998 by a three-judge panel in Lubukpakam. He was sentenced to death by firing squad and executed on July 10, 2008

  • Black Dahlia Murder: melodic death metal(?) for faggots

    Jul 1 2008, 4h27

    Ok, this is just to make fun of that "band" of these Michigan fuckheads.

    This is not made to amuse or something like that, also this band isn't too good for me like that fatty hxc kid of cyanide257 said, he fails so hard.

    What I want to say is that this band is shit, why do people like it? why do they sell records? WHY DO THEY EXIST? Whoever bought their CD should be hanged or executed with a nailgun... it's amazing how many polycounts their new album has here!

    Sure, there are kids who think this band is the most n infernulz lyrics thing they have ever heard (especially the scene kids). But for listeners of REAL melodic death metal, this band is something to laugh at and joke about.


    That's right, those queers with "lolhipster" posses are the innovators of the awesome "real, serious-ass, murderous" melodicity.


    I honestly don't understand why faggots have had a sudden interest in Melodic Death Metal (although this is not new for metalcore at all). This is disgusting. Check this if you don't belive me:
    Some fag's Myspace

    These bands are too stupid to realize that relying on the same plagiarised riffs throughout one single album does not get you anywhere. Well, maybe with the scene kids it does, but not with people who have a sense of integrity.

    Just talking about them will make my pubic hair fall for the fact that they are total crap and useless musicians, the drummer (if hitting randomly the drumset like an epileptic idiot makes you a drummer, ok) is ridiculous.

    The vocals. They're horrible. Everyone can perform almost growly screamo screeches, and theirs are stupid as fuck. He attemps to sound brutal/angsty, but it ends up sounding ridiculus. I can't believe that they actually need a member to exclusively perform vocals, even Chester Bennington or Fred Durst could do them. What a complete joke.

    With a band this boring and typical, I would rather run outside naked, take a shit in the middle of the street and be arrested by The Police. That would be much more entertaining and adrenaline pumping than this worthless band.


    Oh lawd, funny n seriouz guys aren't they?


    This band is the most generic, boring bullshit I've ever heard in "extreme" metal. The first thing that I noticed is that there are no balls. I am aware that there are bands that have managed to come up with good shit without the balls factor (Shining, for example), but balls in BDM's sound feel necessary, because their songs feel very empty whenever emoness comes up, which is another big problem in every album.

    What we have here is even worse than St. Anger... these idiots are emos who heard an At the Gates song, then some My Chemical Romance, and predicted the trend coming and fucking ran with it... now, I don't have something against ATG, but this is .

    They even have the cynism to say "the record is very well writen and has elements of pop and electronic music. Its one of my favorite records" about an band called Scarlet. Are they that trendy and just wanna be accepted, or do they really think that this is REAL metal? LMFAO

    Anyways, THIS IS SOME AWESOME MURDEROUS MELODY-FILLED MUSIC so all the pitninjas can unleash their angst and feel mighty and powerful.... Muhammed!, I don't understand those stupid moshers, music wasn't made to do karate and kung fu at shows, music was made to enjoy, every cool concert I've been has been ruined by those idiots, they even dared to mosh at Torsofuck and Belphegor shows here... but oh well, enjoy your moshing brutality, faggots.

    I do fucking know how Black Dahlia Murder have so many playcounts here, and how they got signed, but not even Three Days Grace and Trivium combined could do a worse job than they did with the newer albums. Once again, fuck Black Dahlia Murder and fuck this fake-ass "murderous metal". Ignore this band at all costs and listen to something more worthwhile.

    These assholes should be hanged and gunshot along with those queers of Most Precious Blood, All Shall Perish, Through the Eyes of the Dead, As Blood Runs Black, The Red Chord, they are the same shit.

    "It’s quite a bit more personal lyrically, ranging from anthems of cheap sex and drug use to more classic Black Dahlia Murder horror style," says Strnad. "I’ve tried to reinvent BDM lyrically here. It’s still dark. It’s still really evil shit.". It's idiotic, wannabe-meany garbage, in each song, it's about a guy who cries, and denies society while sucking cocks. Yeah, I know I shouldn't complain, as the music is not about the lyrics at all, but come on... fucking faggots. Just check the video below to laugh a little, they recorded that video with 5 bucks I guess...



    I have no idea how they got so popular; they're worse than Taking Back Sunday and Green Day combined. Black Dahlia Murder is the reason why metal is slowly dying. Nowadays it's all about who's better than who in terms of faggotry, which is not what metal, is all about, or how many goddamn hardcore riffs you can fit into each song.

    If I were you, I'd listen to some Hypocrisy, or some Amon Amarth, or even Mors Principium Est if you want sweet melodies in your metal. However, if you want some generic emo gay bullshit... then go for it.

    And to finish I call this "" because faggots love cocks and don't give two fucks about not being faggots. What a perfect comparison.

    P.D.: I recommend you go kill yourself first if you like Black Dahlia Murder, Most Precious Blood, All Shal Perish and Suicide Silence and all of that "Melodicore Deathcore Metalcore" shit bands out there.

    P.P.D.: I don't know what I recommend you to do next.

  • Decent Albums

    Jun 22 2008, 7h06

    Some albums are bound to find a place they call "home" in the mind of the listener. Here's a list of a few albums that are in my opinion close to perfection:

    • A Blaze in the Northern Sky: The greatest Darkthrone album ever made. I don't think they could top this one even if they actually tried. Darkthrone might have turned into a sort of joke band for some people, but that doesn't make this album any less awesome. What I like about it musically is definitely everything, including the production which is raw, but fits the whole concept of the record pretty well.
    • Desert Northern Hell: Perhaps not the most "cult" album by Tsjuder, still Desert Northern Hell is a great example of straightforward Black Metal, retaining a traditionalistic sound which still is not bound to remain uncreative. This it's an album I recommend to any fan of Metal in general (Except perhaps to people who really detest Black Metal).
    • Manifestations 2002: Why not any other album by DSO? Why Manifestations 2002? Well, it simply has an outstanding assortment of songs, the thing with other Deathspell Omega albums is that I often like some songs and are bored by the rest of them, but this album never fails to catch my attention.
    • Manifesting The Raging Beast: The dying proof that melody has a place in "true" Black Metal. "Intelligent" lyrics (well, as Intelligent as something religious can be), this is not the standard God bashery, and also the vocals sound at the same time calmed, fierce, insane, and mysterious.
    • Ad Majorem Sathanas Gloriam: To most people this isn't the best Gorgoroth album, but to me it is because it keeps me ententained.
    • Panzer Division Marduk: Some people bash this one for being just an unoriginal blastbeat fest, to me every song in it is different from the others (although this might be just a side-effect one gets from listening to it so much). Truth be told, Marduk here is not as chaotic as Funeral Mist, Antaeus or Katharsis, also not as brutal as Archgoat, Bestial Warlust, or Tenebrosus, but hey at least it delivers both quality and consistency.
    • De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas: Best Mayhem album, created by "The original Mayhem" and a genre-defining piece. I'm sure most people agree with this. Not much to say about it that hasn't been said before. Great songs, and possibly a peculiar vocal performance.
    • Draco Sit Mihi Dux: Shortly after I started to ponder which Ondskapt album to include on this list, I decided to include this one because I like every single song in it. The vocals are otherworldly, the atmosphere is one of the most embracing I have experienced.
    • Perdition Gospel: This album is made of memorable riffing, very capable drumming, perceivable basslines, echoes vocals, and win. With just four tracks it is perhaps too short, but on the other side all of these tracks are quality tracks.
    • Mystérion tés Anomias: As with the previous album (well, actually the previous one is an EP, but who cares), this one has only four tracks. This four tracks, though, have earned this band quite a reputation and it's certainly not a coincidence. The drumming here is just right, and the vocals could hardly carry any more scorn.
    • De Contemplanda Morte: A slow and powerful album, with a ghastly content that sounds as evil as it sounds ethereal, this album holds a good share entropy, majesty, and interesting musicianship.
    • IV: The Eerie Cold: Depressive Black Metal. I don't get what's so depressive about it, maybe it's the lyrics but they're in Swedish and I can only understand a few lines anyway. I won't get into that matter that seems to be so common in DSBM bands' shoutboxes these days (weather or not DSBM is "emo" or "not true" because it is supposedly focused on a feature perceived as 'weak' by the hard-boiled Warriors of Infernal Doom that call themselves Trve Black Metvlz Hedz). I just like the stuff in this album, it's highly artsy-fartsy and stuff. I guess only fags like Kvaforth can create such blasturbashino muzaks. But really I do like this album, srsly.

      There are two things that all of these albums share in my opinion, these (among other things) make them such masterpieces:
      - They're varied.
      - They ont les plúsè grandés âtmosfères dè róses mélancoliqués noirês (lolfrench).
      - ALL KILLER NO FILLER, LAWL.

      Some bands are cool and stuff but didn't make it to the list because some of their songs are crappy.
    • Watain: SWORN. TO THE DARK. Duuuuhh can I haz moar cheez in a song? Come on guiz. Watain could make a truly great album if they were more like in the old Casus Luciferi days, I mean srsly, the vocalist dude looks like Axl Rose or something.
    • Other Blaelk Metuls bands/albums: 2 Many uninspired songs per album.

      The end.












  • Something I need to get off my chest

    Jun 14 2008, 4h09


    S­up.

    There are different kinds of Black Metal, and one of them is the atmospheric one. There are many ways of performing back metal of the aforementioned kind; from the buzzy guitars of the burzum-esque sound to the more ambient and doom inspired material, to the pseudo-electronic and noisy kin.

    Now, no band is like another one―every band is special in some way; however, there are a couple of bands that I find uninteresting, and they all sound pretty similar so I guess there's a confession here to be made:

    Any band that sounds like anything thusfar released by Defaillance or Caïna is not pleasant to my ears, and...


    I PREFER DEATH METAL OVER

    THAT KIND OF BORING CRAP.



    Thank you.
  • Artists I Can Not Stand

    Jun 15 2008, 5h37

    Pretty self explanatory, a list of artists/bands I regard in high contempt.

    I wasn't going to add any , , , /, or banda (some incredibly annoying music sub-genre) artists to this list, because I highly dislike those genres in their whole extension; nonetheless, I still added some artists pertaining to these music styles, as examples of what I detest the most of such music styles.

    Hearing anything by any of these artists will make me:

    a. Politely ask to have the music turned off/switched.
    b. Try to get away.
    c. By any means stop the music.
    d. Prevent myself from listening to it.
    e. By any means stop the madness.
    f. Kill.
    g. Die.

    So, here's the list:

    Mai 29 2008, 8h09

    THIS JUST CAME IN.

    In what appears to be ultimately shocking news from Turku-based science-related company Paskapääbajs Incorporated's special affairs science research team, it has been discovered (after years of tireless research) that in fact... Spacecake8 is a fucking mango!.



    (click to see larger version)

    This discovery, which marks a new a milestone in human history (as it binds a point in history to a tragic event, such as the formation of Lakupaavi), has unfolded a blasting wave of uncertainty and terror that has swept across most of present-day Finland, leaving people in a tremendous state of despair.


    SHE'S A BLOODY

    DAMNED MANGO



    This is why Conan O' Brian, Finland's president, has passed on a post-it to the united nations, asking for the fact to be made public in the best suitable manner, so that the world's population might know this and thus not suffer from the impending shock they are to experience should they find out about this startling developement.


    AARGH!

    MONSTRUOUS

    MANGO! GET AWAY!



    Please, be socially responsible, spread the word. Spacecake8 is a fucking mango, and everyone should be notified of this.

    The best way you can help is by putting one of these in your profile at last.fm or other sites, your website, your blog, or anywhere else you want.

  • What a Fucking Wednesday. Again.

    Mai 29 2008, 5h51

    I don't know why I can't stop swearing in these journal posts of mine. I just can't do it. I'm sure one day someone's going to be an asshole and report me and I'm going to lose my profile, get banned and therefore lose all my precious track counts. I'm sure someone's going to do that because people love to dislike me (And why would they not?). And even the people who don't dislike me get pleasure out of my misfortune, although I am not unfortunate at all and very rarely show it anyway, and also, I laugh at them moar, so yeah. But hey, I would too if I weren't me.

    Wednesdays suck cock. I've to get up in a few hours but I'm still here ranting as usual and it's a quarter to 1 in the morning. Oh mommy being the angry tween is so me, I just can't let go and be the way you'd want me to be (Except that was a lie). But I know you're mostly proud of me for being an atheist and possibly find me increadibly annoying at times. I don't think I'd ever want to know how annoying, but I do...

    I pissed off a friend of a friend of mine the other day, and another one is just completely annoyed thanks to me as he's been for quite some time now. I think the reason is the same for the both of them... I wish I could just explain it to them but I can't just appear out of nowhere and explain it when I can't be sure they even want to hear my explanation. I've been explaining myself for my whole damn life and I'm not sick of it. I'm so devoid of this bullshit I can't even try to explain it. I even hate the word explain.

    But I will explain it nonetheless: I copy-pasted this blog entry from someone else's blog and then changed some words.

  • CLOSEMINDEDNESS TO ME!

    Mai 16 2008, 8h26

    Music sales!

    People say you can measure a musical genre's popularity by taking into account how much profit that particular genre's artists attain, which is most often brought about through sales!

    From 2006, to 2007, sales of all types of (physical-media based) music decreased. This was due to digital music sales going up. But nonetheless, we can still tell the difference between how much a genre lost compared to some other genre.

    And that's what I'm basing my next review of the most popular music genres of 2007.

    In the United States and Canada, one of the music genres that suffered the biggest thwarts on sales, is Rap, which accounts for a 30% growth loss from 2006 to 2007. The second biggest looser is "Alternative music", followed by R&B, Country, Latin music, Gospel, Metal, Rock, Jazz, (in the respective order) etc. the rest of musical genres also decreased in growth, but their growth loss is not as significant as that of the previously mentioned ones.

    In any case, the popularity ranks were as follows, in 2007, and in the USA and Canada:

    1. Rock (149,414).
    2. R&B ( 95,555).
    3. Alternative ( 88,604). (I guess this one includes Pop? Lolz).
    4. Country ( 62,696).
    5. Metal ( 52,951).
    6. Rap ( 41,662).
    7. Gospel ( 34,017).
    8. Latin ( 31,853).
    9. Soundtrack ( 24,570).
    10.Classical ( 18,044).

    [ source : zdnet ]

    At first glance, I didn't quite believe what I was seeing. It's pretty amazing how there were more Metal sales than, say, Rap sales, or Latin! If this sales list taught me anything, it is that musical prefferences over the States and Canada are not only very different from musical prefferences in Mexico... They're fucking hugely different.

    If you asked me, I would say that over here in Mexico the most popular genres are Banda, Pop, Reggaetón, and Latin music.

    So what do I think about these music genres?

    THEY FUCKING

    SICKEN ME,

    ALL OF THEM.


    POP, HIP-HOP, REGGAE, LATIN,

    WHATEVER, YOU NAME IT!

    I FEEL LIKE

    I only like:
    - Certain Metal Subgenres!
