Here's my boy - just turned 3.

Here's some of the goofy shit I was wearing last night. I realized that I'd accidentally dressed up like my persona from Ash. Made me chuckle this morning when I saw the picture.  Leather pants and h

Right? I'll toss out a recent photo if she does. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I asked first. Gimme some eye candy, a little bit of beard, I'll give you a pic back :P

How shameless we talkin' here. RelentlessOblivion needs to have some fun if he's to break out of this slightly homicidal rage. No really I'm actually scaring myself.

I won't say no to mankini.

 

just sayin'.

Here's me during my hunting trip last weekend, I can think of few places and times more appropriate to sport a big bushy beard.

Whoa, that is an epic beard of epicness! 
 

Are you wearing the orange because you're hunting, or because there are other hunters around? or both?

Editing to add - the reason why I ask is because I get that orange is for safety but wouldn't it scare off deer and such? Do you take off the orange for hunting?

Ugh. You hunt? Please tell me you actually eat what you kill...

While I think killing animals for 'sport' is fucking disgusting, I would point out that a meat eater who eats his kill hunted from the wild versus a meat eater who bought some grocery store factory produced meat is actually causing a whole lot less suffering to the animal in general.  A wild animal that dies from a quick shot lived a much better life than anything factory farmed.


Ethically, I have no issue with hunters who hunt seasonally and eat their kills.

The orange is to protect from friendly fire in an open hunt. I'm sure that bright orange was chosen because it's one of the less frequently occurring bright colors in nature, but I'm not sure if the animals notice or not. Not getting your head blown off by a high calibre bolt action rifle seems preferable to not being as stealthy when hunting as possible. I personally have never hunted, but have gone with the guys in my wife's family for the last 3 years. I love an excuse to be out in the wilderness, and seeing the wildlife makes it even better. I dig venison, elk, and other game meat, so I'll probably take it up at some point. The point is fresh meat, sport hunting is stupid. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Trophy hunting is stupid imo. If you aren't gonna eat it don't bloody shoot it. It's like fishing (which I quite enjoy) you don't catch more then you're going to eat. Only time we ever went overboard was because the grandparents were having a party that night and most everyone likes seafood in our family. I remember that haul exactly: 17 snook, 12 garfish, 8 king george whiting, 5 snapper, 9 tommy ruff, 6 squid, and 24 blue swimmer crabs.

As for why hunt AtG the game is healthier, you're in the outdoors, you're with mates, a lot to like about it really.

Pretty much my sentiments exactly. Then again, in a 1st world country like America where food is readily available, why hunt for food at all?

Not always feasible to get commercially available deer, rabbit, duck, pheasant, and if you have a hankering for that kind of meat, and it's close by, and requires some degree of population control seasonally, why not.

In return for beard sexiness, I give you a pic taken before the Insomnium gig I went to recently.  I liked this outfit. More dressy than I usually wear which is generally jeans, a hoodie and my vans for gigs.

Mostly fair points I suppose. Personally I consider a gun a coward's weapon. If you killed that shit Roman gladiator vs Lion in the Colosseum style I'd have some respect for you. Otherwise fuck off.

    • 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.
