Silencer - Death Pierce Me I liked Dictius Te Necare, but I really don't know about these vocals... eeek. No, I don't like 'em.

Khanate - No Joy

Antonin Dvorak - Stabat Mater (Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Harnoncourt cond.)

Banned until you take a cold shower or a nice walk around the block, to calm down a bit.

I disliked Life Is Killing Me when it first came out. It took me a few years to develop an appreciation for it. One day I guess it clicked. I "like" World Coming Down better but I probably listen to Life Is Killing Me more frequently.

You're In The Wrong Thread but it's better than anything LP has to offer...

"Bowels" came out 20 years ago... Then: nelulYzV3Qw And now: et8NE4klmts

I'm Amazed They Sell Records

Honestly I'm not huge on this new thing, it sounds like nothing out of the ordinary. But I'm happy for them that they can keep going after their vocalist's death, and "Bowels Of Repugnance" is an old-school death/goregrind classic.

Oxes - Kaz Hayashi

Spontaneous combustion? Can't really dust for vomit?

!T.O.O.H! - Rad A Trest Lykathea Aflame - Elvenefris Oxes - Oxxxes

Fuck yes. I just now finished listening to the whole Cop album.

Atheist -Unquestionable Presence

Political leaders from all across the spectrum have us concentrating on meaningless wedge issues in an effort to divide us. Once you politicize something, you control the dialog and you force people to "take a stand". So as a country we're becoming more immune to rational argument, and easier to control, because people think that deciding what "side" of which "issues" they're on and then backing the pols who are on "their side" is the essence of political involvement. Those decisions are mostly made emotionally, and have a lot more to do with group loyalties and other social considerations than they do with the good of our society as a whole. The fear of persecution that Iceni is talking about is real, even if the persecution isn't. I could never deny that - I've seen it in action myself numerous times. I think the fear is created by mostly baseless propaganda, as a political tool. It's particularly ironic because the right to worship as one sees fit is one of the few rights that seem to be well-established and protected in this country.

Banned for putting me in a catch-22 situation. I won't have the power to rid the earth of hipsters until I get 10000 posts, and I can't do that if I'm banned.

Maybe it's because the songs are a bit poppier and more upbeat. That's not usually my thing, but they did an amazing job on that album. And there's still plenty of dark stuff on there. Pete's lyrics just kept getting more personal and more interesting. That album rules.

This and World Coming Down are my two favorites. Can't stand October Rust. But I didn't think this one got negative reviews, did it?

Banned until you can prove your worth by ridding your continent of hipsters.

Out of range? For the "Living Embodiment Of Metal"? Hardly... Banned for your lack of ambition.

Banned for not using his power to immediately take care of our hipster infestation here in Brooklyn. They're still here. We need your help.

Khold - Morke Gravers Kammer

I hope you have years left with them! I've got one grandmother left, and unfortunately she's been in the hospital a couple of times recently, but she's a tough cookie. She's 93. When she turned 90, I asked her how it felt to be 90 years old, and she said, "a lot like 89..." and then she looked off into the distance and sighed and said, "not like 70, though."

Both my grandfathers are dead now and I know exactly what you mean.
