You guys already had some obviously awful experience with some reactonary headbanger?

I am asking because i never had one,but i Always saw people talking about these kind of experiences,especially where i live.It used to exists a brazilian headbanger YouTube channel called Canal Barbônico Always with News about the genre.But someday someone threatened his Life and made some fake accounts to pretend being him doing shits.He obviously got upset and ended the channel.It was goddamn creppy.I mean,I never had some kind of experience until now.I Just only listen heavy metal because i like.I am not a expert fan.And see people that only like the genre have your Life being threatened it's creppy.

But you already had some experience or know about one?9

Don't know what music the numpty listened too but I got threatened by a football fan on a 4wd forum. Stupid fucker barracked for one of the most disliked clubs in the Australia Football League (AFL). There's been running jokes for 80 years about Magpie fans being toothless deadbeats. This stupid fuck was mouthing off about how great his team was and because I love to stir up shit and be annoying I gave the guy shit right back. He got all narky and started threatening me, started as harmless internet tough guy talk, then quickly moved to threatening to come to my house and kill me and my family. He posted my address on line and told me he'd be waiting for me when I least expected it. It was quite funny, some people loose their shit over the dumbest things. Don't know if the guy ever got the help he needed.

I’m assuming that was several years ago? Collingwood supporters haven’t changed much, but regrettably they don’t hold the championship belt for most feral fan base anymore.

The undisputed champions of ferality these days are, unfortunately, considering it’s the team I follow, Port Adelaide, take the stereotypical, Collingwood fan, dial it up to 11, and that is the average port supporter

Are you from Australia?I did a song honoring an aussie actress (No metal related).

But didn't you call the police?When you say football you mean the american football or soccer?Here at Brazil people are crazy about soccer too.

Yeah, me Relentless and Thatguy are aussies.

Aussie rules team.

I didn't call the cops. Partly because my driveway is nearly a kilometre in length and even before I had security cameras on the front gate I'd have see the idiot coming. Also because I knew what car he owned (we all owned a specific brand 4wd, that was what the forum was for), if I saw him coming the cops would have beaten him down the driveway. But mostly I didn't worry because I was 90% sure the guy was just a stupid fucking hot head, all mouth and no action.

No point in calling the police in Australia.  They don't show up and are generally incompetent.

I have called them several times for serious issues including domestic dispute that was turning violent (as well as threats of murder)  as well as burglaries or extreme vandalism.  They don't show up and in one case where they did the guy didn't give two fucks and literally made a mess of the crime scene he was dusting for prints.

 

Last time I called them (26 July 2023), they ended up calling me half a dozen times to clarify details, confirm city I was in (radio room is centralised and in another city and the operator didn't write down details I told them), confirm street, tell me to go to station (they sent me away) and then called me up to ask me about some other issue not related to me (someone's stolen car in another city).  They couldn't get the city right, the street right, the location right.

After half an hour they then told me to go to the crime scene which I did and the cop just drove past and never stopped.

 

Now this was in broad daylight and the crime happened on our city's main CBD street only 2 blocks from main police station.

 

My wife works in criminal justice system and she has even less nice things to say about them - suffice to say some of them don't believe domestic violence is an actual crime.

 

Cops here are just useless and corrupt. Basically cops are just bad guys with badges.    It's why I feel no pity when they get killed by criminals.

That why I live in a country town and leave all the cop bashing to you big city folk who hate cops and think the system doesn't work.

Well it doesn't work when you call the cops and they don't turn up (and I've called them at least 4 times - they only came twice - first time the cop literally ashes and makes a mess over the area he is dusting for prints and the second time they didn't even get out of the vehicle and drove past after they struggled to even get the city right).

 

In fact my department was told by police they don't guarantee call outs to rural areas either.  We were looking at improving safety of our rural based community staff.  Part of it was to have a duress tag that would go to a monitored service who would then call police in case our staff needed it.

Cops said they wouldn't commit to anything as they couldn't guarantee call outs in rural areas.  Most of the rural police stations have been closed or are unmanned.

They're now looking at closing even more rural stations and consolidating them into larger ones though this means greater wait times.

Same for ambulances and even in the cities - one of our friends' kids has a pacemaker.  Pacemaker stopped working and kid went unconscious.  Parents called 000 and were told there were no ambulances available and they should take the kid to the hospital themselves.

 

Or at our kids' school when one of the kids was seriously hurt.  Again no ambulance available and school staff had to take them to hospital. 

Tasmania is far more dilapidated then people think.

Holy crap - home invasion!  Glad you're Ok!

 

Compared to rest of world, Australia is alright..  

 

However I live in Tasmania which is the poorest state in Australia and has major issues with poverty and social decline.    Lots of drugs and alcoholism.  

Crime is becoming a major issue - hell, I saw the cops arresting two guys on one of our major streets yesterday at 5:15 pm!  Yes, they were doing their job for once.

 

I see criminal activity or results of criminal activity at least once every couple of months - public drunkenness, fighting, vandalism, drug taking (or in one case a young woman being stretchered out of a popular park after overdosing) - all in broad daylight.  I work in the CBD and go for walks during my lunch.

The only place worse in Australia are some of the remote areas eg Northern Territory which is definitely getting worse.  However crime is skyrocketing in some major cities too (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06-15/teenage-burglars-behind-rise-in-victoria-youth-crime/102483786)

The picture of Australia is as bad as one wants to draw it, but not all drawings show the same thing.

 

I've noticed you seem to refuse to acknowledge the country is changing for the worse - growing poverty, growing homelessness (including in rural and regional areas), growing drug and alcohol consumption, growing desperation. 

Haven't you seen all the headlines about stagnant wages (since 2008), inflation pushing people into poverty, housing affordability etc?  

 

 

And this is  both statistically and anecdotally.   I've never seen as many homeless as I have the last two years.  I now see criminal activity in broad daylight at least once every couple of months.

    • 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.
