You need to make a fan page for your beard. I would totally Like it.
It's getting really long, I haven't trimmed it since February. My wife addressed me as her "sexy timber man" yesterday, which has a nice ring to it. I'm sure I'll be taking band photos with this new unnamed group soon, you could like my beard there, and sample some tunes while you're at it. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Do you let your beard write any lyrics? They like to be included... don't do anything to hurt your beard's feelings or you might regret it.
It's nearly to the point that it could strangle me in my sleep, so I had best placate it before it grows agitated. Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2

Whenever I try to grow a beard the hairs curl back in shame. Most of the time it just looks like I've got dirt on my chin.
At least they don't grow back into your flesh... When I had a labret (those chin piercings), one of my beard hairs started growing on the inside of the piercing, backwards into my mouth. Now that's an experience I'll neither forget nor repeat...

Nevertanezra actually named themselves after BAN's beard :D
Incorrect, Nevertanezra is the name given to the prophecy that foretold the coming of the great beard of legend. It was not among us then, but we have been acolytes in its service since receiving the gospel of the beard handed down from the great beard bearers of yore, and named our band thusly to commemorate our faith.

So how's this work? Will you know it when you see it? Are some "bearded" from birth, and others simply not, or will you be later chosen according to the strength and will of your beard? What of those worthy among us who cannot grow the beard? What of those once bearded, who shave? And what of those who should rightly be shaven, but grow beards either in ignorance or in mockery of the Beard Of Legend? Forgive my innocence in these matters, O Thoroughly Bearded One, as my simple goatee and I seek only guidance.

    • 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.
