Re: Whatcha Eatin'?

Well' date=' I'm a fan of pizza, and the only thing I haven't liked on pizza so far is anchovies... I suppose I'd have to try it. Might be kind of like tuna casserole on flatbread.[/quote'] I love anchovies, they're great on pizza. The weirdest thing I've seen on a pizza was potato slices, but it turned out pretty well: [ATTACH]907[/ATTACH] Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

You're all wrong, anchovies are disgusting. They were perfected as a torture device in ancient China and smuggled over to Europe via the silk road sometime in the middle ages. As with so many awful things from the far east, no immunity existed in Europe, and when a tub of anchovies burst open accidentally, the entire continent was quickly overcome. Most people today are descendents of those who survived not only that tragedy, but the many waves of anchovies that occurred during the following centuries. Odds are you're immune to anchovies, but that's no reason to go around seeking them out.

I can always tell you apart - you're the one with long hair' date=' a sword, and glasses.[/quote'] Actually, that was a bit of artistic self-indulgence on my part, it was an attempt to recreate the cross carried by John the Baptist in Renaissance paintings. At the Uffizi gallery I kept seeing him carry this big old staff with a cross so I decided to imitate it in my drawing but make it look different. On the subject of swords - there's a sword that Georg Neuhauser of Serenity holds in a music video, and I recognized it as a 15th Century longsword from Museum Replicas. The cool thing is that I actually own a copy from when I graduated 2 years before the video was made.

Nice! I love swords' date=' though I don't anticipate ever being able to collect them. I really enjoyed the little bit of kendo I did in martial arts. Japanese swords make more practical sense to me than European ones.[/quote'] How so? I know they were better crafted, but I doubt that's what you mean.

Just in terms of actually using them. I didn't do a whole lot of study, but I briefly tried fencing when I was a kid, and the movements involved in using a katana came much more naturally. The double-handed, single-edged design suits me better. I wasn't much more than a beginner - most of our time was spent on unarmed sparring, and forms. I miss martial arts, but getting back into it now would take time and money I don't have, and weapons study would be a frivolity.

A curved blade was popular in much of Europe but particularly with cavalry in Hungary and with Romanian soldiers. Furthermore, only one edge was to be used at a time on double-edged swords - that way if one edge got worn down you could flip the sword 'round and use the other edge. Oh, and fencing is bollocks.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
