Rabbits are a big problem down here. Can't hunt them though as there's a disease which has been rampant in the rabbit population for decades so you have to bait them instead. Shame 'cause rabbit is tasty.

I totally agree, rabbit is so delicious and under-appreciated.

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

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.

Yowser! Looking good. I also thought you were a man up until this point! :-D

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.

I don't understand. Are you saying you think people should hunt without guns? Personally I dislike them; without getting into a discussion about it, I'll say that subsistence hunting is the only reason I'd consider owning one. 

I do have a friend in NC who does bow hunting. Very difficult according to him, and not necessarily more humane. 

I totally agree, rabbit is so delicious and under-appreciated.

I used to like it, but the last time I tried rabbit, something put me off. Some kind of very subtle gamy flavor. It's weird, I like venison, liked mutton when I tried it, but lamb, goat, and rabbit aren't for me.

Hey look, Ghouly's back, we can talk about food in every thread again!

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud. I don't like guns full stop.

Aren't we all though??? I sure am...

Looking good Ghouls. Be patient you'll get to see me in all my lycra-clad glory soon enough :D

What about Longbows?

We're counting down the hours until your glorious Aussie bulge is ready to reveal itself unto us. Well I actually do archery now and then, and it takes a level of skill using a rifle certainly does not in my experience. Either way I would never kill anything with either kind of weapon. I dunno why Tapatalk keeps mashing together all my paragraphs. I guess it's not formatting the comment or something. Sorry for the text walls... :3

You call my furry exterior sexy and then drop that hotness on us? Clearly we have different preferences. ;) Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Sorry but I refuse to wear skinny jeans!

Despite popular opinion, balls do not have lungs nor do they need to breathe.

I, for one, have welcomed back the trend of tight pants on guys. UNFFF.  One of the best things about about these 20 year old whipper snapper thrash metallers is the return of the bulge.

Excuse me madam, but they most certainly DO need room to breathe! Sweaty balls are an unpleasant experience TYVM.

    • 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.
