  • 2016 and the yeas since, but especially the US presidential election that just happened, have absolutely destroyed my faith in the people of my country.

    Always figured the govt was fucked, but that the average Joe had a shred of good in him. After the bullshit of the 2016 election, the 4 disastrous years after, and the 4 years following of nonstop Nazi rhetoric from Trump… 74 million of my neighbors decided he’s the guy who represents them; and another 90 million or so decided not to lift a fucking finger to intervene.

    No. Good people are a minority. I’m surrounded by hateful bigots who will go as far impairing their own quality of life if it means they can can harm others by doing so. This country and the majority of its inhabitants are evil. We deserve what’s coming.

    Igorrr

    Nope, they’ve flown under my radar until now. Didn’t scratch the itch I was shooting for, but that did awaken a completely new one - I fucking loved the one you linked!! Will definitely be going down that rabbit hole. I haven’t heard much Arabic influence in metal… only one that comes to mind is the intro of Blind Guardian’s Wheel of Time (which is one of my all time favorites!). If you’ve got more along those lines, please share! In the mean time I’ll be doing a deep dive on Igorrr!

    Bullet for My Valentine

    Familiar with them. Never really cared for BfMV… always struck me as the musical equivalent of a pouty teenager after being told to clean their room, lol. They’ve got enough redeeming content in most songs that I wouldn’t say I dislike them either, but it all ads up to kinda just break even at good enough to not bother skipping it when they pop up in a list, but not good enough to ever actually seek them out.

    …typing kinda slow cuz my brain is fried, so in the time it took to make this comment I’m on my 4th Igorrr song and JESUS FUCKING CHRIST those guys are all over the damn place lol. 10/10




  • Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.

    We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”

    All it takes is one ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.

    I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.
