Schutzstaffel

Steven Le asked me an interested question last night, why do I want an SS flag? Aside from my interest in World War II, I am definitely attracted to Nazi Germany for many reasons. Whether you agree with the ideologies, you can't deny that Hitler in fact conquered most of Germany.

Another aspect that I can't help turn away from is that Himmler had a desire to bring back the chivalric days of old. In an age where modernity was becoming rampant, he managed to create some of the most devoted soldiers under the oath of Hitler, the Schutzstaffel, SS. It brought back the purpose of your nationality, it created a sense of importance to your region rather than what we see so often today, the attempt of being African American/Rastafarian.

I will save my opinion of National Socialism after I spend my Spring Break watching documentaries.

Here is some hard to obtain NSBM

Fuck...

I slept peacefully but woke up with a sense of regret . I have reached my final strand, my mind is breaking. The fortress that I once had has dwindled to nothing but rubble. Something so small has dealt an immense amount of damage and I have no say in the matter. I know what I had done was necessary but there is still that small portion that believes it wasn't. Was I just impatient? Was I just too stupid to realize the opposite end and just expected far too much? I wake up with the hope of seeing that message or a missed call. I will not give in however, I have done everything possible, I just hope to receive the same that I had put in one day. I got to get out but where? The place I love most has been tainted by her, the factory of sweets she dwells near. I said my last words, what else needs to be said? A great way to start spring break, by taking part in a break.

even a song is contaminated. . .


Peacefully. . .

I can sleep . . .




A short lived band. . .

Disrespectful

Today marks the start of Spring Break for all those that have decided to spend a bit longer in college, easily known as Community College. What better way too kick off a well deserved break than to throw a barbecue with a few good friends, sadly it didn't happen that way.

I arrived there precisely at 7 yet nobody was there. To start the festivities I drank a Milwaukee's Best through the beer bong and only had a small amount left but that was later evened out with Oliver's portion of what he didn't finish. After that was done, Andrea and Hang made an appearance accompanied by Grey Goose which seemed to be a big hit, but what do you expect, Asians and Vodka go hand in hand like JD and coke. As the hours went by more and more people showed up and Mike, Andrea, and myself devoured a few more Milwaukee's Best and Andrea took chugs straight from the bottle of Sky vodka. She soon paid for her choices by ending up vomiting and had herself almost taken advantage of by Timmy and Preston. The alcohol was supplied fairly well yet due to the mass amounts of unknowns, it went by fairly quick. The night was well supplied with antics from John Lam, Oliver, Kevin Guy and his pole, Monica. Overall, the night went well despite what I am to speak of in the next paragraph.

For various reasons the name will not be revealed, someone's iPod got stolen. You people come to a party which technically, you were not invited too, you drink what liquor we had purchased and claimed it as your own, you contribute nothing but your ill presence, and yet you still decide to steal an iPod. Whoever did that must have absolutely no morals or decency, and you wonder why I don't bother associating myself with you or why the Los guys make themselves seem like dicks by not interacting with you, don't think my cheek is turned away from those looks. This was never meant to be something big, it was about a gathering between close friends, if your idea of close friends is someone that you can freeload off of and steal from, then fuck off. Simple as that, no faux hawk wearing, nigger loving, e-tard will be considered any closer than a thief until a certain amount of respect is shown for what we have contributed. You have to realize we are not filthy rich, spoiled bastards, we are probably just like you, but the differences have manifested, the lack of morals can deal a great damage in terms of trust and our sense of consideration is far greater than yours.

Keeping it short, I'm tired and I have other things my mind has better to linger on than the
ill minded

Fuck Shining!

I have never looked at the band Shining as anything spectacular. Kvarforth, I have always seen as the boy that was bullied around when he was a kid thus resulting in him going to whatever extent to display himself to the world. With his excessive and meaningless "scars", arrogant persona, his so called "philosophy", and now this.

I'll further my opinions later

Actually, he is not worth my time to rant about. I am already giving him more credit than he deserves.

FUCK SHINING! FUCK KVARFORTH!

Kogi

Oli, Don, Jack, Wacker, and myself made our way to Kogi, honestly, I wanted to try it but I wasn't in the appropriate mood to enjoy something such as that. Thankfully, being around everyone lifted my spirits for that quick moment. I hate feeling like this, it feels like the week of my birthday in which nothing was good. Fortunately, Mike is there to give me some guidance and everyone else is there to provide a good laugh or two. One of the many reasons that I am closer to my friends than family.

Anyways, Kogi was delicious, well worth the wait. The meat was tender, well marinated, and rich to perfection. It was perhaps one of the greatest things I have ever buried my teeth in. Another drive should be put in order to indulge in the craft of seeking good food. One thing that I do find irritable is that the burrito is small for the price, $5. The burrito didn't feel me up and the tacos looked like typical street tacos, those prices were much more relevant to those that are exhibited down here.

Well, I decided to call out of work because I am in no mood to work, I just feel like going somewhere and clearing out my head. I woke up with the most negative of thoughts, I am surprised how much this has hit me. Possibly, it could be the fact that I am continuing to make sacrifices to make a friendship work that bothers me. I need to get hammered/piss drunk/shit faced/plastered, and whatever other word there is for getting drunk. Or I should avoid drinking for sometime, it often does bring me to state of mind worse that what I had experienced prior to the drinking.

Spring break is coming up. . .

Succumbed

I gave in. We've always said to each other that if we were to ever lose friendship between each other it would definitely be something hard to over come. I guess I will playing the game that will be the hardest to participate in with all my effort, Patience. I am going to give it a couple more months before I try again, if that effort was to fail . . . when the time comes I will continue that thought. Time will be put to use I suppose.

I could have avoided this in so many ways on behalf of us both. . .

Amesoeurs - Amesoeurs

Enjoy the negative effects of Modernity that we have overlooked for so long.

Confused

Patience has never been something that I have fully grasped. I have always disregarded the "Patience is a virtue" and I have no intention of turning around my neglect. Something has definitely changed, although it was such a short amount of time would it be correct to take a step back and restart in a better time? But then again, will patience reward me with what I have desired. Risks must be taken and for the most part I take the risks but the outcome could be something on a negative plane rather than on the side that would be beneficial. Although I slept on the choices, I am still deciding what side of the fork I should uphold. I honestly, don't want to lose what has manifested but I don't want to be looked at as something else.

I have tasted what I have never drank and I crave more. Perhaps, I am thinking too selfishly or perhaps there is something I am missing. Like a drug I was in a state of euphoria but the crash has dealt immense damage. This is undoubtedly the hardest decision I have ever had to make. . .

No video today, if only I was able to channel my thoughts and exhibit them as a cohesive unit then that would be of much benefit towards the discovery of the answer to my problem.

WAR!!!

As of late I have been getting back into War Metal so I guess I will have to go buy some more War Metal since I don't have enough to accommodate my cravings. Prior to this resurrection, I liked War Metal but over time I found it childish. The solos were all over the place, blast beats, inconsistent, and the riffs were just power chords shifting all over the place. The music is what is known as noise. Despite all of that, there were a few aspects of the genre that kept me interested, the vocals often times had catchy lyrics in which you can chant to and the music overall is just so chaotic it's fun. This is in your face music with absolutely no restraints! It makes me regret not taking advantage of going crazy when I saw them.



BLOOD OF MY BLOOD!!!!

I just bought this album haha


by the way, I heard some of the new Amesoeurs' album, that's a must!

On a different topic, everybody who says "Fuck My Life" go fuck yourself. It's an annoying fad that's going around for no apparent reason. I can take a joke, but it's become used excessively for every misfortune that has happened, from something as small as dropping a phone to something as stupid as getting drunk. Honestly, when it's time to actually use that phrase, you would be thinking of other things rather than something as meaningless as that.

Recommendations

With a internet connection that fluctuates and provides nothing but annoyances and the cost of living increasing and the amount I am being paid decreasing, it has rendered me unable to purchase many cds. But, having the computer and my cds in my room I have managed to put some of my older music into my computer and re-living the experience that band has given me.

The Dreamside - Spin Moon Magic

Darkwave/Gothic Rock with FEMALE vocals. Female vocals have always been my Achilles' heal, if you manage to fuse operatic vocals with rock elements, chances are I will be enjoying it for quite some time. This album contains songs that are quite good but when they have cheesy lyrics I tend to steer away. Three songs manage to catch my ear frequently and I find myself listening to this band quite often.

Nokturne - B.D.I.

A review was done for this yesterday so just read that.

Nightbringer - Death and the Black Work

A wrote a review for this album quite sometime but I too am lazy to link it for your convenience thus I will just write a short description. The dark and ominous tones are synthesized with furious drum patterns orchestrated with snarls and rasps of a voice from beyond. The musicianship is amazing such tight guitar work serves as an indestructable force. Black metal at it's highest caliber!

Nokturne / Todesweihe Split

Photobucket

BLITZKRIEG DEATH INVOCATIONS!
(should have just been Blitzkrieg Invocations, less cheesy)

As of late I have been listening to Nokturne's newest release avidly. It consists of the signature Nokturne sound and WWII influenced lyrics (song titles, no lyrics written) that makes Nokturne the sickest, most followed, Black Metal band of Los AngeleSS (clever, huh)

Nokturne, since Curse of the Nazarene (although that album sucked), have created their own sound. With the ubiquitous Darkthrone clones, Nokturne is sure to satisfy those that have not followed Black Metal closely due to the fact that Darkthrone runs it. Nokturne has managed to synthesize razor sharp riffs, blast beats, marching patterns, and disgusting vocals resulting in something invigorating.

This album picks up right where Wargod Domination left off. The drumming becomes fast and occassionaly drops to a slower pace which also showcases the versatility of Lord Doom, surprisingly, I don't hear much fills and when performed it seems to be consisting of one tom, the snare, and bass work similar to that of Inquisition. The bass is audible which is ALWAYS a plus, in fact their is actually a bass line in White Roaring Abyss. It's nothing very extraordinary as it follows the guitars but it does provide a lower end for the razor sharp effect. You may be wondering why I keep using "razor sharp" as a description but that's all that I can think of which suits the guitar riffs. It's nothing cold in the sense of Immortal nor is it warm like the solos executed by Enthroned. Not very technical, I must say but it is in fact catchy, Sigil Mord has managed to embed itself in my head which always results in frequent listening. Psykho's vocals are still disgusting but they seem to be less dynamic. In Kruelty Kampaign the vocals were in your face throughout the album and as the releases continued it began to blend in. Certainly, vocals blended in with the music creates a dark unhuman atmosphere, but this is an exception. Psykho's vocals are something uncommon thus it deserves to be on it's own level in terms of mixing.

The mixing brings me to the next thing to be criticized. Everything seems to lack UMPH! The vocals seem to lack any power even when he changes the tones, the guitars seem to be drowned out during certain portions of the songs, and the snare isn't quite loud unless it is the deep portion that I hear throughout the song and the bass is what is nonexistent.

Other than the mixing of the album, it still manages to carry on the Nokturne name. It definitely does deserve proclaiming originality and it definitely does deserve purchasing without hesitation. I must add that this is a split but Todesweihe's portion is not worth listening to, I for one, listened to one song and decided to never listen to that portion AGAIN! It's horrible, and when compared to Nokturne, it evokes the question of "Who ever thought of such a split?"

Note: They are not NS, they have just adopted the symbols of NS because of their interest and lyrical themes much like how bands like Slayer adopt the pentagram to express lyrics relevant to Anti-Christianity. If you were able to add 1+1, you would notice only one member is white and they play in Los Angeles.

The Verdict:
8.5/10

Catchy as fuck without sacrificing any Black Metal "guidelines".

B.D.I.

With a taint of lighter fluid and Tecate, courtesy of Bestial Incarnation, I am blogging this day. After eating a Carl's Jr. meal that didn't belong to me but to the person behind me, I am still grumbling a bit nonetheless I still ate and I don't want that acid shit that Bj was talking about.

Anyways, I woke up quite early to pick up my check and to help Ursula out with errands that would prevent her being at my side at the Nokturne show. I ended up driving her and her friend's around looking for synthetic hair for their dreads and the business that they plan on bringing up in due time. I got paid so I was in a happy mood and didn't mind doing this, in fact, I was actually in a good mood in which I was offering to buy people this and that, odd isn't it? Anyways, I ended up doing this from 11 to 8 o clock.

I made my way to the Black Castle and I must say people really do in fact take advantage of the discounts that you receive if you attend early. I have not been to a show since November so I am still behind in terms of what has been going on and after talking to a few of my brothers in arms, the scene seems to become stronger. Shows have been well attended lately, even local bands, but of course when you have a well attended show, a few of them tend to ruin it for others when it comes to having fun themselves, I hate drunks, pisses me off. Back to the music, I missed the first band, no review here.

The second band was another local band by the name of Conjurer. Consisting of only 2 members the sound was pretty thick, riffs were catchy but over time became repetitive. Same can be said for the drums, the drummer only had a high hat, splash, china, two toms, and a snare, so it made the blast beats quite repetitive and annoying. One thing noteworthy is the vocalist actually uses clean vocals, it's been quite some time since I have heard an L.A. black metal band put clean vocals into play and execute them well. Overall, a boring set.

Next band was Horrid. This band was very reminiscent of death/thrash bands from the early 90s, they have those sludgy dark riffs, amazing shredding, and drumming that can be called simple yet effective. Their set was good, didn't get much of the crowd going but it was worth going to a show early for.

Bestial Incarnation, a band that has not given one shitty show yet. It seems that have replaced one of their guitarists and he does not fit in the band at all. He stands out like a sore thumb looking far younger than everyone, skinny, and smiling at all times when Seregul is, from what it looks like, never wants to be bothered. Despite playing at least 2 new songs, the crowd, in sync, headbanged throughout their set.

One man band, Sein Und Zeit took the stage bringing back the armor of the ancient days and the pride of the fallen. Despite being one man on stage, his voice manages to strike everybody. By the end of his set, he had an audience at his feet.

The band that everybody wanted to see, Nokturne. After not headlining for quite some time, Nokturne brought a powerful performance, unfortunately the songs played were songs off their newest release which seemed to have people questioning their actions. By the fourth song, the crowd was in a frenzy, violence ensued, blood spilled, bodies bruised, it was great. I left during their 6th song after coming to the conclusion that I better get something to eat or I will knock out and get raped on the streets of L.A.

Clarification

It has caught my attention that the genre known as Depressive/Suicidal Black Metal receives a considerable amount of flak due to it's violent nature. Of course, organized depression and the genre title itself can become quite a nuisance too people who have actually suffered through it, but you have to understand, not all the bands within the genre have even given themselves that title nor have they given themselves the title of Black Metal.

Misanthropy, to my knowledge, is the complete hatred for human kind, but it seems like more than half the bands that preach it don't even exercise that belief. As stated in Satre's Nausea, Misanthropy can only be called so if the person hates him/herself. Which brings me to the next topic, Self Mutilation. I cannot stress this topic enough, it is often clouded by the attention gathering, "Emo". Self Mutilation has existed for a considerable amount of time, believe it or not, during the days of Christ, or perhaps older. Flagellants took part in rituals in which left them bleeding for the purpose of God/Christ/etc, certain tribes spill their blood in order to show their devotion to an alliance, and so on and so forth. Emo on the other hand are just simple scars on their wrists proclaiming their absolute disgust for how society has perceived the image they wished to evoke yet they managed to go on with their lives as happy as an infant with absolutely no care in the world. Correct me if I am wrong, but have you ever met an "Emo" who has actually considered themselves depressed, mentally ill, or even troubled?

DSBM is the premise of Black Metal in it's near perfect form. Of course, Black Metal or Metal in general was comprised of the disgust towards what society has propagated, thus creating the equilibrium of hatred for man when life was celebrated greatly during the times of the Baby Boom. Misanthropy was huge when the genre began and still remains to be of great importance in the Black Metal scene to this day. So why should DSBM receive so much shit from those who have misinterepreted the meaning of Black Metal? I won't completely deny my hatred towards the genre during my earlier years but after embracing such art and considering the impact Black Metal has had on my life, I have come to the conclusion that DSBM is indeed a valid portion of the scene. At times, like any other genre, these bands create lyrics so emotional that it becomes a comedic act that you would soon find surfacing on youtube as one of the worst bands on earth.

So before you begin criticizing some of the stalwarts of DSBM, analyze every aspect of it before you jump to your conclusion. Believe me, some bands that I listened to are not listened to anymore due to the fact that they are in fact one of "Them" while others have actually attracted me deeper into such art. Like this really matters anyways, individuality in Black Metal has reached an all time high in which it has blinded half the people from the various works of art that made a genre so. Classical, Blues, Ambient, Folk etc, have been ignored when in fact it plays a huge part in it. So I would think that because I am saying this, you have to be above the bar and disagree because you want to be yourself. Thats for another entry. . .

Numerology

I have finally dipped my foot in the esoteric belief known as Numerology, and I have found myself waist deep, or perhaps, MAN DEEP. Anyways, I came across Numerology after wondering what exactly was the purpose of all these numbers being utilized in the scriptures that Averse Sefira have been releasing and through their musical structures as well. After doing some research and reading interviews, I have came to the conclusion that AVRS has synthesized the odd time structures and scriptures to the belief of Numerology.

It is quite an interesting belief, each number between this and that serves a purpose in defining who you are or shall become. Rather than shaping yourself into being that one person you are already emerged from birth, although there are certain aspects in which you are able to bring to perfection the majority of the numbers and their meanings are already embedded into your flesh, soul, and mind.

I recommend everybody to purchase this book, it's amazing, I am only on page 30 and it has already began it's hypnotizing spell. This has probably been the most interesting read I have had since coming into Satanism through the books of Michael W. Ford.

Cast to the flames...

Today marks the first day in 3 years approximately, that I am no longer wearing braces. It's a relief having them off, but my teeth look massive and due to the glue corrosion has occurred in one of my front teeth, so that must be taken care of as soon as possible.

On a lighter note, I have received my tax return check and I had no second guesses on what I should purchase with the majority of the check. I bought 2 cds, which I hope will arrive to this house, since eGay, being slow in certain changes may have not updated my address when I had done so. In addition to those cds, I had purchased the Advent Parallax vinyl that Averse Sefira has released, that will be nailed to the walls as soon as it has been received, need I say more of how much an impact this band has dealt? As soon as I had cashed in my check I made my way to Games Workshop in short time due to the adrenaline that was running through my body and I had purchased the paint necessary to raise the army.

Now, money must be put aside, which isn't much due to gas, food, and other things that had to be extinguished. Thankfully, my paycheck will come in this weekend, and at least half of it will be spent this weekend as well. One thing that made me quite furious was the fact that Last.Fm had deleted my plays for some reason I have yet to figure out. So as of now I am back down to a small amount, oh well. I've also noticed one thing, my writing has become horrible, I should begin reading again. . .



Fucking NSBM, so hard to get my hands on, most of these songs aren't even released in numbers high enough to be distributed to a neighboring country it seems.

Majestic!!!

As I was looking around for a video that would suit the actual night, I came across a Hypothermia excerpt from his newest release, Kaffe Och Blod. This definitely deserves it's own post. Enjoy. . .




Intoxication

My day was pretty long to my surprise. I woke up with what I thought to be 6 hours of absolute boredom, but Ursula got out of school earlier so I made my way up to Baldwin park for our weekly visit. The drive up there is the worst thing possible because the 22 to the 57 transfer point is absolutely horrible. Drivers always try to force their way in, it's always a stop and go situation. . . I hate that fucking freeway.

My arrival took much longer than I had expected for some reason. There wasn't much traffic but I guess the little that had occurred slowed me down significantly. As soon as I got there, Ursula had a couple of her buddies there, Jessica and Monique. They needed to run some errands so I decided to take them around. For the sake of being safe, I won't say what they had bought, but as a hint, I had been clean from it since September. Once they had finished that, Monique and Jessica wanted to watch Twilight and my god, fucking horrible. It was so boring, cheesy, it was horrible. It alters the meaning of the Vampire, yes, Vampires lack much of the emotion of a human being but since when were Vampires beautiful when they burn? The CGI which were used was something that you would see in Smallville. People should overlook what hype this movie has created and see it for what it is, a horrible movie based on a book aimed at the less knowledgeable, leeching adolescent girls who have nothing better to do than daydream about that one "cute" guy that possibly has no interest in jail bait.

Once the movie was finished, we ate Subway, which we had no problem of devouring it in a few minutes, 5 dollar foot longs have got to be the best deal they have ever had. After we refueled, I was driving around for quite some time aimlessly, so we just ended up back at Ursula's house. Shortly after our arrival, we had to depart once more to her Grandma's house. Unfortunately, this was made me one hour behind schedule, once again, apologies to Mike.

Aware of being late, I sped down the 57 within the speeds of 80 to 100, and made it back down in roughly 20 minutes, the time spent on the road was surpisingly longer than that which was spent on the freeway. As soon as I picked up Mike, we went straight to Oli's house for Thy's party. As always, the party was packed, and this time it was all held in the backyard. It's interesting to see EVERYBODY drunk, even Bj, which had broke his streak. John Lam was drunk, which I had not seen in quite some time and it brings back so many laughs. In general, he is a funny guy, but when drunk he comedic acts are on a level of unparalleled laughter. I was D.D. so I had no alcohol whatsoever, but then again, what they had wasn't very appetizing. The party ended earlier than I had expected so after helping Oli clean up a bit, we made our way to Jack in the Box and then to Keane's house. Don ended up throwing up a significant amount of food while Meat seemed so fucked up that he was just sitting in one spot the whole time. No jokes were cracked on his behalf. Later that night, Bj held a lighter near his butt and as he farted he ignited a small flame. I always thought that was fake but Bj has proving it to be real in all aspects.

Without the thought of daylight savings time crossing our minds, it was actually 2:30, so we all decided to say our good byes. And that was how the night ended, the reunion of our college minds, highschool buddies, and the high school routine of going to Oli's for a good time. Not very much nostalgia as of now, but in a few years when I look back on all this, it will surely bring tears.

Quote of the Night:
Meat: Why are you D.D.?
Bj: HE IS DA DA!

hahaha, i still laugh at that.

Watchmen

My expectations for this movie was somewhat high I guess you can say. I don't follow any sort of news relevant to movies, comic books, or anything within that realm of entertainment. So what I believed seemed to appear as a good movie appeared as possibly one of the best.

The opening scene of Watchmen was absolutely majestic in all forms. The music was surprisingly fitting in terms of the action that correlated with it. It made the fight seem as if it was some elegant ball room dance and the method used on the fighting could only complement what appeal it had. As for the whole soundtrack itself, I believed the songs could not have been better. Seeing that the movie takes place in the 80s, it would make sense to have 80s music on. The heroes, fighting, lines had comic book written all over it. Definitely well done in every aspect, providing gore, humor, sex, and good ol comic book action. And yes, it is better than Dark Knight, I believe that movie dragged far too long, and it's on a neck and neck race with Iron Man.

And my god, the way Silhouette aka Ursula Vandt (haha. . .) walked in the opening credits and Malin Akerman's hair could not be any sexier, fucking long.

To end the late night. . .

Arysk

Photobucket
Arysk - Devastation

It becomes an annoyance of great size when a band, especially a good one releases a demo and they limit it to so little copies that it is practically impossible to get your hands on. I lack the funds to purchase it off egay from a greedy person who has absolutely no taste in collectibles other than the re-selling it to make himself a living (sometimes a very good one). Unfortunately, I had to download a tape that I had not had, and I must say, it is a mighty good one.

Arysk is an NSBM hailing from the land down under, Australia. What makes this band a remarkable one is the filthy vocals which definitely remind me of Psykho from Nokturne. It's hard to come across bands that manage to create their own unique vocals, and it seems like the one man behind the whole band, Gravsten, does so with least effort.

The music on the other hand seems like it was actually well thought. For some reason, there are plenty of NS bands that remain true to ultra raw Darkthrone style music, music that appeals to me as much as the next big thing on the Disney Channel. Fortunately, Arysk blends in mildly clean production, thrash drum patterns, clean intricate riffs, with the traditional black metal aggression.

This is something I am willing to sacrifice a hundred dollars for so if anybody has this tape and reads this crap, send me a comment. If you are able to get your hands on this, do so even if you don't like NSBM, it's a nice breathe of fresh air in the Black Metal Universe which is plagued with punks posing as metalheads, Darkthrone clones, and bedroom black metallers considering themselves depressed.

The Verdict:

8/10

Too fucking short!

Nokturne

Nokturne is one of the few local Black Metal acts that I actually support. They create some of the filthiest noise known to man with Psykho on the vox, which is very reminiscent of some of the previous Black Metal bands of old. Till this day, I do question whether or not this band is a White Power NS band or are they simply just intrigued by such topics. Psykho responded to a YouTube comment stating that they have only adopted the symbols much like how Slayer, among others, adopted the Pentagram when in fact some of those bands don't follow such an esoteric belief system. Another reason why something so profound is easily thrown around and becomes watered down, pity. With an odd use of the black sun, interesting flags put on stage, and Nazi salutes it's hard to overlook their "adoption". If they are a white power band then maybe I shouldn't take them so seriously, neither should the members since the majority of them are of hispanic descent (at least appear to be) nonetheless, if they were an NS band then I will continue listening. Nation Socialism is something so misunderstood that it is hysterical when you speak to someone that has not delved deep enough to figure out it's true meaning. Hitler was only someone that used National Socialism and took it to the level of a heinous belief that the world looks down upon. Aside from his definition of the word to the majority of the ignorant Americans, you must admire him for what he has done. Anyways, read something about National Socialism before you call me a Hitler worshipping, Jew hating bastard, while you are at, here is Sigil Mord!!!! Chances are the majority of tradtional Asians are "Nazi".



Nokturne will also be committing various acts of self mutilation and exalting our declaration of the macabre and what lies in the Void in devotion of their newest release on March 13th at the Black Castle alongside Bestial Incarnation and one man performing act, Sein Und Zeit. Attend if you have any interest in the music, it is sure to be a good one. If you have absolutely no interest, you may end up on the floor bleeding, it's happen to a baller.

By the way, I still hate the Austere album below

Tuesday, March 3, 2009

Austere

I spoke to soon, my previous blog entry was referring to the fact that I have no thoughts, and I have just received one that has hit me really hard. The DSBM band, Austere, has managed to embed themselves into my mind, I have been listening to them avidly so it was to my benefit that they would be releasing their second full length. Sadly, I wish they hadn't. I managed to find it, leaked on iMeem, and I gave it a listen. I could not be more dissapointed, I think this has actually hit me harder than when Mustis stated that greedy statement in Decibel magazine.

This album seems to lack all that I loved about the band. Their unsettling atmosphere, rabid shrieks, and technical drumming is absent. The drumming does have some techincallity but it is giving off a sound that doesn't relate to any of their previous material or the emotion that accompanies the vocals. The clean vocals that are used are surprisingly, emo-ish, the clean use of the guitar seems drowned out, and the riffs are bland. I am going to have to give this a few more listens before I actually come to the decision whether or not to purchase this album. Until then it Lay In Old Ashes. So far, it is losing the battle. . . significantly.

Emo-ish?

It's interesting . . . I feel that my mind has not been stimulated enough. I remember when I had the intention of creating this blog the topics of what I was to talk about were set in stone. Now that I have practically expelled all that has been on my mind for quite some time, I find this to be quite dull. I have yet to receive another challenge from a Christian, I have yet to pick up a book that has kept me interested, and I have yet to come across music that makes itself completely noticeable by creating something even more morbid that what has already been made. Now that I have had something to serve as a catharsis it's put me on a parallax in which it feels quite odd feeling less ideological and critical. So be it. . .

Here's is some more Industrial andProgressive (if you'd consider it that, one of the few) . . .






Goddamn, when I get paid and receive my tax return, I am heading over to Amoeba and reinstating eBay.

Darkwave

Lately, I have been listening to Darkwave and Industrial, sadly the lack of funds cannot accommodate to a purchase of any albums. Unfortunately, I still have not gotten use to the style, in terms of looks, themes, purposes, of such a genre haha.




(Ignore the fucking Kingdom Hearts of it haha)
