Edited FA's list to save me typing a ton of the same stuff. In addition: Gorguts - Colored Sands (2013) - this album massively upped the Gorguts' game and was my pick of top album for the 2010's. Containing songwriting that most bands can only dream of and musicianship that is unrivalled in my opinion, this is a weighty and varied album that despite it's forays into other genres still remains a death metal beast at it's very core. Akhlys - The Dreaming I (2015) & MelinoΓ« (2020)- 2 of the greatest modern bm albums in my collection (both sitting on vinyl on splattered effect2 points -

Balor reacted to blaaacdoommmmfan for a topic
balor yes understanding Heidegger. ok sounds like a challenge. all that metaphysics stuff including im pretty sure Heidegger was mentioned in the commentary for the matrix films. ken wilbur and cornel west certainly talked up some interesting ideas. obviously ive no idea if there any good but it was interesting hearing about the philosophies of the matrix film's and i definitely appreciated the matrix revolutions film alot more after hearing the commentary. re the divine comedy. i can recommend that if you like lots of interesting imagery. most interesting part for me was hell section.1 point -

Books?

It helped as much as anything can really be said to "help" one read Heidegger. Heidegger translating the play in a very weird way didn't exactly make it any easier either... I have not read Dante, but I have wanted to for a long time. I am sort of wary of poetry just because I am not very familiar with it. Would you say that it is worth reading? I'm sure that greater Bible literacy would help one understand it better.1 point -

Balor reacted to blaaacdoommmmfan for a topic
balor i hope reading antigone helps make sense of Heidegger's introduction to metaphysics. did it help? and at least you read a good book/play. re brother karamazov. thats one i need to read again as its been over a decade since i read it. it left a lasting impression on me though also the grand inquisitor sounds memorable character except for me sieve brain who completly forgotπ have you every read dantes divine comedy.was quite interesting as i remember.1 point -

blaaacdoommmmfan reacted to Balor for a topic
Antigone was great, though I mainly read it as some context for a section of Heidegger's Introduction to Metaphysics. It was actually pretty short, and it only took me about two hours or so to read. I would definitely recommend it! It has been a long time since I read The Brothers Karamazov, but I always remember liking the scene with the Grand Inquisitor. I need to read it again too.1 point -

Balor reacted to blaaacdoommmmfan for a topic
balor its a very interesting read that er antigone by Sophocles i assume i got that right. i read a quick summary. alot happens. how are you getting on with this book. are you still reading it? would you recommend it so far. brothers Karamazov is really good. its very long. think thats whats put me off reading it again. read synopsis again. its definitely one i should read again. alyosha and his naughty brother Dmitry left a strong impression when i first read it especially a bit near the end where they both have a dialogue. which is your best bit? its hard without giving plot away. π1 point -

Mine has decided he doesn't like anything with vocals, and he only likes electric guitar "by itself"... Whatever that means. He also wants to breed cats when he grows up. Childhood is weird.1 point -

Ah nice, glad you're enjoying them. They really did themselves proud with that album. You might dig Afterbirth too, they've got a really cool combination of riffy brutal DM and atmospheric sections. Great on headphones.1 point -

Speaking of Greek stuff, I actually just started reading Antigone last night! I have wanted to read Crime and Punishment for a while, but have never gotten to it. However, I did read The Brothers Karamazov, and I enjoyed it greatly.1 point -

Gothic metal - a dying genre?
babarois reacted to Vampyrique for a topic
I've never, by experience, understood how someone can simply go through a phase only to later reject it but I'm not a capricious person. If I like something, I genuinely like it and likely always will. I suspect it stems from a lack of self-knowledge or identity. Lacking in direction, trying new things to see what stays. I've also observed that sometimes lonely people want to fit in with others so badly that they will try to fit in even if the attempt is contrived. Sometimes a person may only be able to measure their self worth by how others perceive them within a given social circl1 point
