I was a bit shocked last night upon seeing Impiety live, and realizing that while I've heard the name for years, I've never given them a listen. They were insane, somehow managing to sound tight and precise while nearly careening out of control throughout the whole set. They had to have played the most complex and technical bestial black/death metal that I've ever heard, and now I'm going to have to investigate their discography. Divine Eve played a killer set as well, my neck is feeling the repercussions of their unrelenting heaviness today. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

They'be got the whole package. Incredible intensity paired with memorable songwriting, sick vocals, ripping guitars, devastating drums, they're just on another level from most black/death bands. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I didn't get that impression from The Inexorable, but I did from Exterminate. That might be the best black/death metal album of all time. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Those are just about the most perfect peppers for balancing heat and flavor. Love them. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Sexy playlist. Let me know how Krief de Soli and Antithesis of Light treat you. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I don't think this guy grows any hatch chilis, but those are tasty. His bhut jolokia peppers are insanely flavorful, as are these red chilis he grows that I can't recall the name of at the moment. Garden salsa maybe? Super tasty. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I did it when metal gets punky and vice versa. I can't think of many covers offhand, but it just tends to make a really nice combination. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I work with a dude that grows his own peppers, and his chile verde is magnificent. It's so great if you do it right. He's nice enough to just bring it to his coworkers that can appreciate the heat, as well as keeping us stocked up on peppers. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

It's such a glorious food. The way my wife made it wasn't really authentic, but it still turned out pretty well. I work at a trucking company, and most people here at like shit. They give me funny looks when I bring a huge bag full of food that takes me some time to assemble, but then they comment on how good it smells and how lucky I am to have a wife that cooks. I wouldn't say that she's a great cook, but she spends an inordinate amount of time on Pinterest and tends to find some good recipes. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Leftover shrimp pho, pretty tasty for a reheated work lunch. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

That's just about as good as black metal gets IMO, very much a top 10 album for me personally. Nice to see the band getting more attention these days. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

I'm in agreement. I don't see myself getting rid of my Inquisition albums or discontinuing listening to them, the music doesn't have anything to do with the member's actions, abhorrent as they are. That said though, the band can't really get upset if others don't share my view. Many will take it upon themselves to drop them for what they've done, and they have nobody to blame but themselves for that. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

That Alex Jones idiocy is just running rampant in general today. Based on how frightened and stupid many people seem to be, I shouldn't be surprised at his 3 million listener count, but it's still disturbing. That guy is cancer in human form. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

The "good Iced Earth" comparison caught my attention, as I've heard this band's name, but never listened. Iced Earth really could be great when they wanted to, but ended up falling flat on their faces for a good chunk of their recorded output, not to mention Schaffer's nutty neo-conservative conspiracy theory bullshit in recent years. Is the one you posted a good starting point for this band? Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Your message her just reminded me about them. I played a track and found it less fruity than I remembered from their self-titled album that I sold at the record store back in the day, and it was significantly less renaissance fair sounding than Rhapsody. It kind of reminded me of Dream Theater mixed with how Kamelot should sound, as opposed to how they actually sound. I could see myself enjoying this, even though I doubt it would ever occupy a top 10 spot for me. As you said, it's not my usual flavor, but I can see more clearly now than before why you would include it. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

When it's done right, it can be a really compelling mixture. There are a decent number of bands who do it, but most aren't very well known. Here's a great one that shocked me when I saw how few views it had on YouTube: Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Maybe some black/doom bands would help bridge the gap for you. Dolorian seems like a good candidate... Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Indeed it is. As soon as my coffee mug is empty, I'm on to water for the rest of the day, and I go through a lot of it. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Totally, hopefully I get the chance to visit someday. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Mine too, with Traveller at the top and Down Among the Deadmen at the bottom. I somehow got lucky enough to find all 3 of those albums together in the used section of a record store in perfect shape. One of the best purchases I ever made from that establishment. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

Fuck yes, my 2nd favorite from them. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk

You can get it with chicken if you're one of those weirdos who don't like lamb, or without meat at all. Either way, they're fucking delicious, and their döner wraps are no joke either. Sent from my HTCD160LVW using Tapatalk
