  2. My Trolling rates are very reasonable. For an extra fiver a week I will even send small dead animals through the post to the unsuspecting recipient. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  8. I'm so sorry to hear that. It honestly brings tears to my eyes. You've talked about it before, but seemed a bit more positive from what I recall. I lost my grandfather to Parkinson's, and it was awful. I think about him a lot. You've got my deepest sympathy. Thank you. I am conscious how far it has progressed in a relatively short period of time. On the plus side I have a potential opportunity with work to keep myself more local (as opposed to national) and be nearer to support him when needed.
  9. Sorry to hear about the break up Parker. Stick about the board with us, we'll soothe your soul with our inappropriate humour and debates about how pre-"Cowboys.." Pantera sucked! On my mind, my father is on the absolute max medication for his Parkinson's disease (in fact he is over medicated). They can only offer him therapy now which is a less effective form of management. My dad is being eaten by a disease that he won't let beat him but it is still unfortunately winning. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  11. What do you think of that? I actually really like it. Very ritualistic sound quite fittingly and still riffs aplenty.

  14. Unfathomable is defined as something "incapable of being fully explored or understood". Now that isn't to say that I find Wormed's latest release incomprehensible, no far from it. It is - as expected - a blistering assault of technical death metal full of crisp yet crushing riffs and vocals so guttural they surely dislodge the vocalists internal organs. The sheer level of attention that is required to track everything that is going on is mind blowing however. Over ten tracks, Wormed tell a story that whilst obvious as a concept is not going to fall under the familiar structure that we were all taught at school of having a beginning, a middle and an ending. These three elements are all there of course ,but there is a huge swirling tempest at the very core of everything Wormed do that takes the assured form of a story or a journey and disperses it into abstract chaos. It is this spiralling mass of complexity and multi-level auditory assault that sets them apart from other bands that fall under the neat pigeon hole of Tech DM. Personally I don't find them that technical in the obvious sense as they have also managed to apply the sheer guttural and barbaric raw intensity of Brutal DM to their sound. Usually when I hear a "tech" record I nod appreciatively like I am admiring the robust body of a fine wine. When I listen to Wormed my nodding is more akin to drinking a fine craft ale only with semtex popping candy also on my palate to really keep me on my toes. My point is that clever instrumentalists they undeniably are they are also full of energy and are actually fun to listen to as well. If you liked "Exodromos" you'll love "Krighsu" as to be honest it is more of the same, which although is not a bad thing is also perhaps the main quibble I have with it. I remember loads of "Krighsu" long after it has finished playing but I can't really separate it structurally from "Exodromos". I am perfectly happy to consider it an extension of the sophomore release though because as raging death metal beasts come, few are as capable as "Krighsu". The mental song titles are still present. "Agliptian Codex Cyborgization", "Computronium Pulsar Nanarchy" and "Zeroth-Energy Graviton" are fine examples of songs that even if you could understand the lyrics you still wouldn't understand what the hell the song is about regardless. The production is crisp and clear and yet never feels overwhelming or smothering the ferocious brutality of the sound. The drumming is as manic as you'd expect (previous drummer Riky having made way for G-Calero) and the riffing takes a special set of hands to deliver it's staccato style. Ever present of course are the vocals. Phlegeton has endless props having been involved with nine other acts during his time. He's as strong as ever on "Krighsu" gurning out his trademark guttural emanations on astronomy, astrophysics, psychosis and Sci-Fi. There are a couple of other minor quibbles that I have. During second track "Neomorph Mankind" I hear what I can only describe as the Wormed equivalent of a "wicka wicka" (or whatever it is young, happening folk call it nowadays) towards the end which seems out of place. I also find "Eukaryotic Hex Swarm" to a bit meandering and almost distracting to the whole flow of the record as it is slap, bang in the middle of proceedings. That aside however, "Krighsu" remains a triumph. It is a brilliant addition to an already healthy discography and one that you really need to make a purchase of as soon as your pocket allows. 4/5 The Links Wormed Bandcamp Seasons of Mist
  15. Definitely my favorite of what they've done since Ruun. Did you try the Skuggsjá album? NP: Septic Flesh - Titan Nope not yet, it is on the list. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
  16. I have never heard "Power Metal". True story me. I adored "Cowboys..." when it came out but nowadays "Far, Beyond, Driven" is the only album I revisit. "Vulgar..."would be a close second in any list and I had lost all interest by ".....Trendkill"! "FBD" just feels darker and more menacing than the other albums for me.

  19. I haven't rated anything he has done since Pantera. Down just does nothing for me and the solo project with the Illegals wasn't brilliant either. I loved Pantera and still hold most of their albums in regard but Anselmo has struggled since IMO. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  20. He's just misunderstood. Or racist to give him his proper title. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. As I like both bands/musicians, at first I thought it was from both sides just average. Like it could be better. But everything ended up right [emoji3] NP: Wormed - Krighsu This is quite insane. Now, I have issue with the new Wormed but I am waiting to listen through a couple more times before commenting.

  22. I am completely equitable when it comes to the slaughter and consumption of innocents. All colour, creed, nationalities and religions considered. I am also available for weddings, bar mitzvahs and christenings but I won't wear white. P.s. Welcome to the madhouse Jerome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  23. I've seen mixed reactions to it. One of my other friends feels the same way you do. I love it, but I didn't come around to it all at once. I really enjoy their melodic take on the style. Maybe give it a shot again when you're more in the mood. Oh yeah, I will visit again when I am less high maintenance with my demands of music.
