Dead, please find a different forum to post this kind of stuff on. Keep it off this board. We're not interested in hosting it. I've asked you to stop a couple times. If you don't, I will shut down your account. I can't be any more clear than that.
Hang on, the thread's initial OP specifically mentioned politics, music, wars, whatever (see below quote from way back in 2011).

You can't have a "hey talk about whatever the fuck you like" thread and then ban shit you don't like or don't agree with. After all it's a much wider world of opinions than MSM "We don't likez Trumpz so that's cool to talk about but anything else topical is not allowed."
You might want to close this thread down then and state somewhere that no politics or sociology or economics or crime or environmental discussion is allowed. Then it's explicitly verboten and I can stick to talking about 1980s thrash and death.
Note I never broke the rules as specified here

An interesting graph that shows the only time emissions stop and fall is during catastrophes and economic collapses.
The only problem is none of them permanently reduce emissions which indicates something more radical and permanent is required.
Australia's class rooms some of the most disruptive in the OECD.
No surprises
That's because:
A. People are entitled
B. They raise their kids without discipline and ensure they're entitled.
C. People spoil their kids.
D. Parents look to blame everyone else for their worthless little spawn's shitty behaviour - it's the school's fault or they're autistic or they've got ADHD or they have both ADHD and autistic.
I am horrified at the behaviour of other people's kids both at school but also in private sphere. Parents no
(I have tried to raise my daughter in a more disciplined fashion but my wife insists on giving in. My daughter at least knows how to behave in public but she is rude as fuck at home).
Aussie prisons are cushy
My wife visited the main prison as part of her work. She was horrified at how comfortable and pleasant the place was.
Given how much prisoners complain, she was expecting the kind of brutality you see on TV. Not at all, pleasant gardens worked by the prisoners, they each got their own personal cell (that they could lock) with all the personal accoutrements of life and in remand they are allowed their own phones.
Such nice things for society's worst humans who have often committed heinous crimes against others including murder, rape etc etc.
We need a more authoritarian and draconian approach to society. Discipline needs to be reintroduced at the threat of the lash, the gun and the noose. Maybe then we can do something about the environment as consumer capitalism is destroyed.

Infest - Onward to Destroy
Excellent death/thrash metal from 2009.
And other more popular albums I've been listening to today:

Strange, however, everyone who ended up on that show on the supposedly liberal network as a judge was later found to be severely underpaying the staff, generally disruptive in public or just a horrible person.
One sad truth is most successful people are usually nasty pricks.
Some studies have even shown high level executives and serial killers share many similar psychological traits.
And as much as we pretend we're more evolved, our social systems are still based on Darwin's Laws of Evolution ie the ambitious tend to be willing to tread on the weak to reach their ambitions.

But let's face it, if you're sitting on an ocean of oil that's worth a lot of money, you're gonna want to sell it. And the US pumps more oil out of the ground (12.8 million bpd) than anybody in the world, even Saudi Arabia. (and the right-wingers whinge that it's still not enough, the $3.28 we pay for a gallon of gas (86 cents a liter) is still too much) so it's not like as an American I can claim any kind of moral high ground.
Oh I totally agree. But the UAE is not just selling the oil, they're making a mockery of what is left of the global environmental movement.

What better place to host next global climate talks than a major fossil fuel exporter (UAE)?
And what better place to make deals for further fossil fuel sales than a climate change conference?
Global action on climate change is completely dead.

Killing Joke guitarist Geordie Walker passed away aged 64 from a stroke.
Not metal per se but he had a massive influence on metal.
RIP

Yep the UN is a waste of time. UNESCO recently declared Hobart a City of Literature which is completely fucking absurd because 50% of the Tasmanian population including Hobart is functionally illiterate.
Why did they get it? Promoting local indigenous languages (which incidentally are modern constructions as those languages are long dead and haven't been spoken in 150+ years).
In itself this is stupidity - half the population can't read a shopping list or a power bill, but the government wastes money on creating new indigenous languages.

Ah crap!

eep punk and metal separate as if they had nothing to do with each other, but imo bands like Motörhead, Venom and Discharge all exist in that space where metal and punk converge. So when we're talking about late 70's or very early 80's influences on extreme metal I think those were the three most extreme bands for their day.
Totally agree.
Every single interview I've read with every single early thrash metal and many early death metal pioneers shows they had as much appreciation for punk/hardcore as they did for metal.

Killswitch Engage - As Daylight Dies (album)
I get to see these guys as they are supporting Iron Maiden next year.
Not a fan of their music (save one song) but am curious to see how they go live.
Sadistic Intent - Resurrection of the Ancient Black Earth
Superb mid 1990s death metal.
-
Cavalera - Morbid Visions
-
Even Judas Priest songs like the Ripper and Rapid Fire as well as early Iron Maiden contributed to extreme metal.
I would say Venom is the band is starts extreme metal. Welcome To Hell literally made everything else sound soft except the hardcore punk guys.
17 hours ago, GoatmasterGeneral said:and of course there were the hardcore punk bands of the early 80's like Discharge, GBH and the Exploited, which is where the extremity in thrash comes from.
Agreed. Sex Pistols would have played a massive role here too.
Basically IMO whole of origin of extreme music comes down to 2 bands: Black Sabbath and Sex Pistols.

Frozen Soul - Glacial Domination
One of the many good DM albums out this year.
Dementor - The Church Dies
DM circa 1994. Very enjoyable despite being completely unoriginal.

I was wondering before if I've been pre-occupied this year or if I just haven't been as compelled asother years. I've had plenty of busy years since I started doing EOY lists, even years where I spent little time at home, yet I still listened to and bought shitloads of music.
My work's been more intense so not listening to as much music plus weekends have generally been packed.
Leaves precious little time for music. I haven't even done other things I like such as Playstation and painting toy soldiers as much.

How dare Decibel release an album before end of 2023.
9 hours ago, AlSymerz said:Unsurprisingly I've heard very few of them.
I'm not even sure I've heard 40 new albums this year. I certainly haven't bought 40. I'd have been lucky to buy 20 albums this year I think. It's been a slow year for me, what I've bought may not even make a top 20 which would be a first in several decades.
Same. I've been too preoccupied with life to listen to a lot of music and too poor to buy new albums.
Having said that I think it's been a good year for death metal - Asinhell, Obituary, Vomitory, Autopsy, Incantation, even new Cannibal Corpse.
I've only heard about 7 of those on the Decibel list.
What's on your mind?

Just one question then regarding "incendiary shit" - the future habitability of this planet is about as incendiary as you can get especially as one chunk of the planet believes it's a grim life or death situation and the other half believes it's all fine and business as usual.
Or homelessness or decaying education systems or domestic violence or lack of access to healthcare or whatever other decay and rot is setting in? How are these not incendiary issues?
How do you talk about this kind of the stuff in a non-incendiary way?
I guess I need to learn to ignore it. Stop writing letters to politicians, stop signing petitions, stop posting here and anywhere else.
As Nevermore sang in This Godless Endeavour:
Consume, Conform.
This are only real values of our western society, including this forum. Everything else is just pointless virtue signalling.
You can ban me now.
