And all the fantasy-reading metalheads come to fore hehehe. A logical continuation of that warrior aspect of the metal culture i think, plus maybe ancestral respect for long-dead notions of courage, honour etc. Modern humans are really quite fucked.
Sara douglass - does she have a book where someone gets raped by a demon with acid cum? Rememebr hearing something like that. Thought that was well fucked up and therefore worth a look \m/
Cheers all for these authors - I thought all was lost and Id read all the best stuff but theres quite a few names there I dont know...

General discussion / Flatmate wanted - Bentley (near Curtin Uni)

« on: September 29, 2009, 04:13:06 AM »

Gday all. Lookin for a metalhead flatmate to co-habitat a 2 bedroom unit in Bentley (actually a good little niche of bentley, more asian students, less natives). $150pw+bills. Rooms a decent size (~4mx4m), Place is a tad spartanly furnished but all the essentials are there. Communal pool, secure carpark all that jazz. Im an easy going guy, 24yo, work full time (the tall, drunken guy running amok and headbanging at the front of most gigs...yes i am quite unique indeed). Just after someone whos not entirely feral all the time (ie not gonna trash the place), pays rent on time & loves their extreme tunes/gigs. Preferably someone with their shit together - no junkies/emos/general cunts. PM me or msg me 0425 373 345 for more info

Cheers all.
Prob gonna check out JV Jones.
Seems to apparently share Erikson's total disregard for sustaining lives of main characters hehe.
Grew up on Eddings and read a fair bit of Jordan but its a little tame.
No putrefying remains, no rivers of bile, shit and blood. No disembowellment and rape (in that order) of innocent townsfolk etc etc

I reckon anyone who hasn't should read:
Serpentwar saga by Feist
Song of fire and ice by Martin
and all of Erikson
.....whilst listening to moonsorrow. Or meads of asphodel

\m/ Peace.

After years of sittin on the outskirts of wf checkin up gig details and the occaisonal post, im actually bored enough to register and join these infernal ranks and spew forth some opinionated verbal flotsam and jetsam.
Currently listenin to spite extreme wings last couple of albums and think theyre fucking masterpieces. I dare say a few joints and more than enough alcohol will enhance it but I invite anyone who likes negura bunget, windir, etc to have a listen.
Does anyone know what the go is with astriaal. They active still, re-united (apparently??), I demand new fuckin releases
Also does anyone know of any decent bands that rival the epic, apocalyptic, atmospheric as all fuck, tunes of moonsorrow?

And for those that share a passion for brutal fantasy literature, I've read all of Moorcock (Elric \m/), Feist, Martin & Erikson.
Any recommendations?
