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?

Not sure about 'brutal' in this context, but check out Robert Jordan and David Eddings.

Steven Erikson is awesome

Try some Robin Hobb or JV Jones

The Farseer trilogy by Robin Hobb is still one of my all time favourite's

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 :D

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.

Check out the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks, only came out a year ago, and its really fantastic
im a bit sceptical to get into george rr martins stuff because of the fact its not finished yet.

Astriaal are still going. In fact theyve recently been recording in Norway.
So expect some new material in hopefully the not too distant future.

I have all that stuff too, by Martin I assume you mean George R R Martin?  Feist is brilliant but I tend to put his on the same box as Robert Jordan, excellent but not excessively violent.  Also suggest that if you like it violent you check out Ian Irvine, David Farland and John Marco.

I have series' by at least thirty other authors in the genre, Eddings, Forsyth, Hobb, Copley, Wurts, JV Jones,  heaps of good shit.

If you are going to read JV Jones, I recommend the Sword of Shadows series (so far incomplete) for its more brutal style.  The book of Words series is very good, just not dark.
Other good series' I have include Katherine Kerr, Terry Goodkind, Kate Elliot, Sara Douglass and Julien May.
The collaboration novels by Feist and Wurts are astonishingly good, and based around the events in the Riftwar series, definately worth a read.

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...

That seems like a good thing, what with the memories of molestation usually keeping you awake each night.

I don't mind his philosophy and ideas, but no, he's not my hero. I am my hero.

He discussed nihilism a lot, but he was far from a nihilist himself. Hilariously common misconception.

I'd be betting on Albert Fish since they both seem to have similar views on pedophilia.

MAN TEST

1. If you are over forty, and you have a washboard stomach, you are a queer. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet...Faggot.

2. If you have a cat, you are a homo. A cat is like a dog, but queer-- it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its claws, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog... 'Killer, come here! I said get your arse over here, Killer!' Now think about how you call a cat...'Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!' Jeeezus, you're pitched, you're so queer.

3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks on BBQ ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, lobster backs, pickled cops feet, or tits. Anything else and you are a Homo in training and undeniably a fag.

4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you crave a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his toilet; he defecates and urinates where he pleases.

5. If you drink anything other than regular coffee, you're as camp as a row of tents. A straight man will never be heard ordering a 'Decaf Soy Latte'. If you've put a Decaf Soy Latte to your lips, you've had a man there too.

6. If you know more than six names of non-standard colours or four different types of dessert other than ice cream and custard, you might as well be handing out free arse passes. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a 'fressier' is you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than cotton or denim, you are poofter.

7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to beep at a slow-arsed driver or to cut the prick off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, or hold his beer.

Albert certainly is interesting, but no hero.

He's no Ted Bundy!

Speaking of rum, I bought a bottle of that new Cougar Dark Rum last night.  It isn't quite Bundy, but I thought it was alright, and the price of $24.50 a bottle is sweet too.

Bundy turns out to be the cheapest drink at most gig venues.
