    I used to be proud to be British

    DISCLAIMER - MacabreEternal cannot be held responsible if this (intended to be) short post goes on and on and fucking on.

     

    This is a good point, this is one thing that the Brexit campaign denies you now.  You can't be proud to be British and welcome other cultures, nationalities and ethnicities if they come to the (divided) United Kingdom.  Johnson and Farage and all the other mini Mein Fuhrers in the Brexit camp are essentially dictating how you can feel as a proud denizen of your country of birth.  I work alongside some EU migrants who are some of the smartest, most intelligent people I have met, however their overarching  appeal to me is the way they have embraced our culture and yet never lost any of their own identity as Spanish, Portuguese or Greek nationals.  They have enriched our culture by sharing theirs.

    I could go on forever about the EU and why essentially leaving achieves nothing more than seeing off one rich psychopathic prick of Prime Minister and replacing him with another even richer, more psychopathic, bigger prick.  Replacing David Cameron with Boris Johnson/Nigel Farage is like wiping shit off your shoe and wiping it on your face!  The economic impact was obvious and inevitable and for me just underlined the glass ceiling we had on the supposed "recovery" of the economy.

    If I can take one positive from this campaign is that it has actually mobilised people to do so something!  The downside is they have done for all the wrong reasons of course.  However this is the same energy that needs to be captured and channelled towards the real route of the country's problems.  If we can hone that energy and concentrate it on fighting austerity, pushing back on the privatisation of public services and the complete lack of meaningful activity in terms of social housing (firstly building, secondly allocating) then there's a chance for us outside of the EU.  It has taken less than 24 hours for the Brexit campaign to openly admit that the £350 million pounds a week back into the NHS was a lie and that the free movement of labour was not entirely to do with the EU, give it a month and I can see the tide turning against them even further.

    Been craving this on vinyl all week whilst I have been away.

    Disma - Towards The Megalith

    Macabre, do you listen to this album at all?

    I have it and enjoy it when I remember it, don't visit it often though.

    Ghoulgotha - To Starve The Cross

    This is interesting. I like the occasional nods to old melodic DM and Peaceville Three scattered throughout. Some pretty inventive riffs. The songwriting is too haphazard IMO, I'd have to spend more time to really get into it.

    I wrote on my blog that in terms of progression from album one to album two there has been a big step up, however there's still a bit of work to be done in terms of development which makes album three quite key.  The debut is just a tad dull but this release pushes things that bit more and I am sure track two is made up as they go along.  They do have a track called "Village of Flickering Torches" which is just a perfect song title.

    NP:

    Benge "Forms 3 - Controls,Sources & Treatments" a bit of noise to comfort my aching head tonight.

  4. This is the problem with music though. If you like a band then just enjoy them.  If I say Metallica haven't released a decent record since "And Justice For All...." I wouldn't waste your time getting mad about it or mad at me. Just accept that people have differing thoughts and opinions than you musically yet may lack the maturity to express them sensibly.
