Greetings everyone from Metal Forum.

I am fairly new to Forums but I life & breathe Metal.

Some information about who I am and my history with Metal music.

I used to be a fat kid that had lots of anger issues, the fucking government put me on Ritalin meds and it made me a Zombie, one day I forgot taking my Meds and I went complete haywire, I smashed a double glass window at the age of 8 with my bare hands.

After that I stopped taking meds and I got removed from my "normal" School. They put me in some kind of psychiatric class with lots of other crazed out kids like me (Well they made us think we were crazy) They had locked me up for over 50 times at the age of 9. After I told my parents about this happening they removed me from that school aswell. At this time I was about 11 years old.

Where I live they have Elementary School -> High school -> Professional education.. Well I went to a Elementary School for children with behaviour issues and lots of autism, I loved how we (The special children) got used to being "not normal". Kids threatening to kill everyone at school was not very uncommon for us but I am glad none of them actually picked up arms and did it.

At the age of 12 I used music to release my everyday rage I build up by just going outside. I just fucking hated society so much. It started with Drum & Bass and by the age of 15 I discovered a genre that fit my personality and helped me release my anger.

Thats right Metal, I started listening to Slayer, Slipknot, Born from Pain, and many more agressive types of Metal music. Everyday when I came home from school I went on the Computer and searched for better (More aggressive) Metal music so I could release my anger by listening to it. I ended up listening to Hatebreed, Machine Head, Gorgoroth, Behemoth (too much to mention all actually).

When I almost completed Elementary School I got kicked out for having too much issues with Math (Even here I didn't fit in). It tried so fucking hard, I studied Math every day I showed them how much I wanted to complete Elementary School but No. these motherfuckers kicked me off like I was some sort of animal no one likes. This moment I knew I had to change something in my life. Even music wasn't enough for me to release my anger at this stage of my life.

So at the age of 15 I started searching for job opportunities for a person like me. I found out I really loved working outside so I wanted to become a lumberjack.. Yeah this didnt work out because I had no proper diplomma for this..

So at the age of 16 I joined the army. Look if someone is still reading this I know U dont want to know what happened in the army (Basic training - Infantry Training).

Well in the end of the day I am 19, Im a Gunner on a light weight combat vehicle and my job is killing everything thats a threat to my country.

 

I think U allready discovered English is not my common writing language by now.

Facebook...???

:D 

Um, ok, where do I start... Hmm... Years ago, there was a great and kind man named Mark Zuckerberg, who wanted nothing more than to help people, and so he - actually, let me back up, there was a wise and noble sage named Al Gore, who invented - ah well actually before that there was this amazing philanthropist named Bill Gates... jeez, this is complicated. You get the idea.

Come on, simplify things:

1) BIG BANG - Lots of things mould with lots of other things.

2) Downhill from here on in in terms of evolution.

3) FACEBOOK

The End.

    • 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. 

      4/5
