Meh, i phase in and out... it's been a big year. It's interesting seeing a whole new bunch of random names crop up.. don't get me wrong, i liked it better without you, but i suppose you turn 18, finish school and realise this is where the cool kids hang out... so thats acceptable.  Why, did you have something in particular you'd like to argue about?

Hey SOD you can have Team Metal Simon there to wreck insurgents if you like.

Just invite Cyanide Christ, Lord Havoc and myself...with the beast you described, we'd be pretty fucking formidable too i reckon.

Here's one now.  From Encyclopaedia Metallum review for Winsun's self titled, which i quite like...


Pestilent redundancy - 39%
Written by Trilogique on April 21st, 2009

Over the years, my musical interests have evolved slowly, but surely. It went from Slipknot and Korn to Killswitch Engage and modern In Flames. Alas, my tolerance for music with technicality rose and any album that can place excessive solos and guitar squeals in an efficient manner without sounding too audacious, I'd listen to it (production and vocals evidently coming in to play). When I hit this stage, my friends were constantly recommending Wintersun. I was being spammed with links to "Beyond the Dark Sun" on a daily basis. At first, the music came across as brash and full of abhorrent wankery, but in due time, I loved the song. It was time to get their debut.

I'd say at 39% he was disappointed by its awesomeness.

International / Wacken 2010

« on: December 23, 2009, 04:18:17 PM »

For those of you who haven't noticed, Wacken 2010 is shaping up to be the greatest line up of all time with guns like Slayer, Alice Cooper and Iron funckin' MAIDEN recently climbing aboard.  I've already comissioned an inspection my internal organs and investigated which ones can be sold to raise the neccesary funds.  With roughly half the amount of bands shown, it would mean there is still even chances again to make all our wiledst dreams come true.

Who do you want to see on the bill and why?

For me:

Hypocrisy
Dark Tranquillity
Cryptic Wintermoon
Naglfar
Graveworm...because it means they'll serve pasta at Wacken.
Testament... ridiculously awesome live
Korpiklaani... crazy moshing fun in the mud...
Amon Amarth... i have arthritic shoulder capsules from all the fist pumping the last few times i've seen em.
Sirenia... bottom heavy hot chicks rock (right 'Nard?)
The Finnish Contigent. To join Amorphis
Best fucking land of metal any of the WINTERFUCKINGSUN, EToS, Kalmah, Diablo, Kiuas, Norther, Turisas, Charon, Sonata Arctica, Bodom, Imperenon, Twilightning, Insomnium, Finntroll, Stam1na, Thy Serpent or the mighty Agathodaimon

You realise you managed to make yourself sound elitist, bogan and racist whilst supposedly being against those things right?

Uh...  thats the point mate... i've been all those things at various times.. when really i should be thinking for like this guy Sam Dunn, who, scarily reminds of the original Peaceful Warrior Daz Himself...

« on: December 20, 2009, 09:07:45 PM »

I just watched Sam Dunn's Global Metal (Thanks for the tip Daz) and it made me realise how full of shit half the things i think about metal are:

Elitism.  You're not awesome if you hate shit.
Bogans. You're not awesome if you don't read books.
Image. If you aren't having fun because you wanna look cool then you are a fuckhead.
Sound.  How many time have heard I really like <insert local metal act> but they sound too <insert international band/genre/country>
Racism. Sure, Indians annoy us all, but there are indians that annoy metalhead indians as well.   

Just kidding on the last one, but i just realised i'm probably as polarizing as anyone is some of these things.  I hate American metal, i hate emo kids that come to our shows and do those fly-kicky thingies, i hate the kid that is wearing a Dark Throne shirt that comes up to me and asks me where Immortal are from.  I hate the "I love these guys simply because only two other people in the world have heard of them" conversations. I hate the "How the fuck could any music come from anywhere but a burnt church cemetary hidden under the icy canopy of a frostbitten forest.."

BUT.

More than ANY of those things.  I hate generic societies that conform individuals though cultural expectations, and everyday things that take place in ouyr "advancing world" I hate the "fuck my internet died i need tech help, what what fucking language are you speaking am i just talking to a computer with an indian accent???" moments... where you just wanna grab the poor souless fucker on the other end of the line and yell "Think man, Think for yourself and be free" while shaking him so viciously his teeth rattle, only to watch him step off, straighten his four cent tie and two cent business shirt and calmly return to his seat in a hastily erected office space...

If metal teaches us anything, it is this.  There is more to people than the collective expectation of a mass of invented ideals and historical repetition.

 that, is why all those things above don't matter, even in a tiny village full of peasants called Perth.

Because metal is fucking cool.

I would like to think we, as a group, are above gang-bashing people we disapprove of.

Perhaps someone can truly identify this guy so some sort of legal action can be taken.

Cheers.

Legal action is for gays. Vigilante justice.

To sum up original story,

a) How boring, hardly deserved comment.
b) who sits at a metal gig.
c) Gareth needs to harden up and hit the gym, otherwise get really good at legal action.
d) Carry a club to squeltch swirling sticks and giggle berries.
e) Oh i love a story with filled with random first names, you must be a girl.
f) If the "dave" you mention was Dangerous Dave Anderton i'm sure that peasant would have been completely obliterated, if not by him, and if i had known you were his girlfriend, then by me.
g) Longy was a champion dickwaver in his day, i'd be surprised if you just didn't have a brutal flashback of an earlier event.

I remember getting taken along to a few Storytime gigs when i was little..they were fucking awesome...  I still have Puzzle and Sumo sitting in the old dusty cd cabinet.

I saw Black Steel do a show... Kin and Dethlahem too....no idea where or when but i think it had something to do with Guitar World..now Mega Music.  First time i hit the scene with a purpose as a carded adult was Voyager, Pathogen, Syzergy and Furor at the metal awards..02 i think?!

I've been listening to "Neffel" on Behind the Mirror for many years before that!


Couldn't say best three.. i've seen gig from bands i thought i didn't like that blew me away and vice versa.

Final Scourge show was awesome.

Noctis on the Voyager bill at Heat recently were awesome.

Modus Vivendi/Shadowplay were awesome too.

Yeah those bastards. They must have been drinking since 11 or something.  I was vaguely aware there was a band on stage too.  Still, i've caught my fair share of stage jumpers, so now you have too.

« on: August 16, 2009, 10:51:20 PM »

Yeah that was fucking cool gig... I'd venture to say, not the usual crowd since the only familiar faces i saw was Lou and IG...  I'd say all the rest were off watching Pat Hogan and the Hoganettes..... Kick ass venue... I'd like to see Castle open up its Bar for a one off Metalhead Busy Bee, where every fucking metalhead in town turns up with their skill sets and talents and FULLY decks out the place.. to be rewarded with a TOP-NOTCH band line up and free booze at the end of a good days work...symbiosis at it's best and we'd have a second home we could be proud of.

« on: August 01, 2009, 09:01:03 PM »

Its from here, there was a thread floating around, buggered if i can find it tho.

I thought that it was done by Roland, but when i tried to credit him with it last night at the Voyager/Chaos Descending gig he looked at me like i just pwned his Lvl 80 Paladin/Mage with a honey-covered treebranch...

I'd tend to back my recollection over his since i am hardly ever wrong.   


I put it up here and whacked some nice scenery i had lying around so you don;t get visually bored.

Hahaha...  awesome.

Actually, i quite like 'em.  Least they're Aussie and keep to the gutters. And i'd rather recieve a drunken haymaker than get swarmed all the little stabby clans running around these days...

True that.

In saying that though, i got kicked out around 1 am.

I dropped a plastic cup that i was drinking water from and some huge Eastern Euro looking mofo was like, right, you wanna walk out nicely or be dragged kicking and screaming... I was like, well all my friends are here so kicking and screaming of course...  He was quite gentle actually, i think he realised it was a completely bullshit reason but he was gonna lose face by not following through.  It was all in all a very civil kicking out.

I quite like watching the little pakistani swarm in action there.. some of the cheapest hits i have ever seen on that big bloke.. if they're gonna be douche bags they should have their visas given to someone in the third world a little more deserving..
