  1. I don't think it's for me. Cool riffs and enjoyable drumming, though. NP: Krallice - Mass Cathexis 2
  2. No duplicate threads please. Closing this. Don't worry, people will see your OP in the death metal section.
  3. Dødheimsgard - Black Medium Current Carpenter Brut - Leather Terror ...argh, these vocals are killing me. I can't.
  4. I liked Michael Crichton's books a lot when I was younger. Sphere was the first one I read. I feel like his older books hold up better and his newer ones just feel like retreads of the same schtick, but maybe that's just because I happened to read the older ones first.
  5. The first October Tide (Rain Without End) is really good if you like the older Katatonia stuff. Second one (Grey Dawn) is good too but feels a little more polished and less interesting to me. I don't know if it'll appeal to you. But honestly, I've never come across an album that really sounds like Orchid. Unique and one of my favorites. I like everything from Opeth until Watershed but there was a bit of magic in that early sound that they lost afterwards. It also took me a while to come around to some of their later albums, so who knows, you may find yourself warming up to something unexpected. Rain Without End:
  6. It's the only show along those lines that I can watch. I hate every other one I've seen and I can't be in the room for more than a couple minutes if they're on. I don't know why I like it. Maybe the format just corrupted my brain while I was vulnerable during Covid lockdown.
  7. Same. Although we watched one of those horrible Netflix Christmas movies a couple years in a row because my son actually liked it. He is way too cool for that now. We're rewatching Schitt's Creek and we just finished the latest season of the Great British Baking Show (Bake Off). Silly fluff to unwind. We took our son's personal screen time away for being a dingus, so now he's getting his jollies by watching the Bake Off with us, or hate-watching Peppa Pig and Blue's Clues while the little girl enjoys them. It's weird. I wouldn't be doing any of this if I was spending the evening by myself.
  8. That's "fan" tastic for sure. I don't remember now how much we've put into our cars since we moved in June but it's probably over $3000. Next time something breaks it'll have to stay broken for a while. We're tapped out.
  9. Cryfemal - Apoteosis Oculta Dødheimsgard - Black Medium Current
  10. Yup, this is correct. As far as I know the amount of space for hosting images directly on the forum is still very small. Links to images on other sites should embed automatically, just make sure it's the link to the actual image and not just a page with the image on it (usually ends in .jpg, etc).
  11. Ah don't be a martyr. Just stop posting calls for an authoritarian government takeover and mass executions, for starters. That kind of stuff is not and has never been acceptable here. You know this.
  12. I'm not asking everyone to stop posting about all politics forever. I'm specifically asking you, Dead1, to stop posting incendiary shit. I've asked you before. I'm asking again. Use your common sense. You've been here what, 2 years? I know you know how to restrain yourself. I understand that you like posting incendiary shit and don't get to do it on your real-name accounts, but we don't want it here. If that's too loosey goosey and not authoritarian enough for you, and you can't post about (say) the environment or Australian politics without calling for (say) mass incarceration and execution, then by all means, consider politics off limits for yourself and talk about 1980s thrash and death metal. Stop being a problem. You know what I mean. We've let a lot of stuff slide and it's mostly been ok. It would make me personally super happy if you'd just chill the hell out and talk about music without going on your rants. I don't enjoy this part of the job and I don't want to can you.
  13. 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.
  14. культура курения - Полночь в Новосибирске Don't know about any of the rest of you tasteless dweebs, but @navybsn might be happy these guys have a new album out.
  15. RIP Geordie Walker. Legend. Bummer.
  16. Gentle Giant - The Power And The Glory Gentle Giant - Octopus
  17. Deathspell Omega - The Long Defeat on headphones to drown out an episode of "Blue's Clues" from sometime during their failed experiment with the Joe character
  18. Tigran Hamasyan - An Ancient Observer Chopin - Complete Nocturnes
  19. Tigran Hamasyan - Mockroot Tigran Hamasyan - The Call Within
  20. Dawn - Nær solen gar niþer for evogher
