That’s inevitable, I wish sturgeon’s law didn’t apply to my favorite genres of music, but sadly it does. Still, I don’t wanna sound overly harsh on what is actually a really good album, I think it’s really just that it didn’t age particularly well.

This is a great track, but I can’t lie, the album as a whole is a little, dull? The riffs are INCREDIBLE at points but also occasionally I just sit around thinking “man, I wish this was Vio-Lence instead…”.

I’ve always had conflicted feelings about the softer acoustic inclusion in this song. On one hand, no, that’s not what I want in my thrash, ON THE OTHER, goddamn they pay it off so damn well.

Honestly? Use a french press. It’s just so much more forgiving than a lot of other coffee methods. Pretty hard to badly over or under extract in a french press without getting the grounds to water ratio heinously wrong. Some people don’t like the clean up but I really don’t think it’s all that bad, it might throw you off with a bit of superfine grounds at the bottom or something but honestly it’s not gonna hurt you.

Somehow that album art encapsulates this song perfectly.

The Commonwealth is one of the most fascinating polities to exist in Europe, shame other entities managed to figure out how to exploit the ever living hell out it’s dysfunction. It would’ve been wild to see how it developed.

You don’t hear much Franco-Thrash, pretty cool find. They wear their influences on their sleeves and I’m not gonna complain about that.

I dont mind listening to the stupid fash fuckers, but I’m sure as hell not gonna support them financially or openly rep. Unfortunately, the genre has so many of these asshats, that even bands that themselves aren’t fash, are still referencing and nodding to the fash bands. So it’s pretty hard to actually fully divorce the scene from it’s shittiest elements.

Sometimes bands that try to incorporate “blackened” aesthetics feel that they MUST take themselves very seriously. I get why they feel that way, but sometimes you have to let go of the weird hang ups of second wave BM and just have some fun.

Wow, this is probably some of the best blend of black and thrash I’ve seen in a while. Plenty of anthrax-esque silliness (arguably too much,if you said that you’d be wrong, but you could argue it.), without sacrificing the blackened aesthetic, great find!

I can’t say I’ve ever been the biggest fan of pizza thrash, but I’d also be a goddamned liar if I said MW isn’t just FUN.

No one is discussing whether it’s a “good” definition, just that it’s understandable, this isn’t a disagreement on the “moral rightness” of whether to define hierarchy that way, just that it’s intelligible and consistent.

Also, actually fuck off comparing anarchists having a specific definition of hierarchy to homophobic bullshit, that is entirely in bad faith and I KNOW you know that.

This isn’t an “in-group”, you aren’t being excluded, they aren’t trying to obscure what they’re talking about. They’ve come to an understanding that when THEY say “hierarchy” they mean something different, stop trying to assign some devious motive to it. I get why it annoys you when an anarchist SHOULD know they’re talking to people unfamiliar with that usage, or act difficult and refuse to acknowledge that the term means something different in general usage. That doesn’t ALL anarchist do that, or even that those that DO are trying specifically to fuck with you.

The reasons behind the specific definition is pretty complex, but you have to understand, when anarchists are talking about these systems they don’t want to spend a whole page PRECISELY explaining what they mean every single time. Many writings are translated from other languages, or written in english by people who aren’t native english speakers, “jargon” here is kinda necessary for ease of communication. Are you gonna get mad if you hang out with some electricians don’t understand what the hell they’re talking about when they start using technical terminology?

Wrong, it’s how the term is used in a lot of anarchist literature because precisely defining what they mean by “hierarchy” is important for discussions about it. So yes, it’s a bit of out joint with Standard English usage of the term, that doesn’t make it wrong. They aren’t being obscurantists, or trying to fuck with you by using hyper specific terminology to trick you into thinking they mean something else. Also words can’t be “co opt’d”, different groups use them differently all the time, it’s a normal feature of all languages don’t be an ass about it.

It’s the problem that occurs when a term that is being used in a narrow more academic context makes contact with people who use it in a more colloquial conversational sense. Neither definition is “wrong” really, it’s just very confusing unless clarified, and becomes a problem when both sides refuse to understand that context comes into play here.

You’re Damn Right.

It really do suck that Jon Nödtveidt had to be so fucking good AND a completely unhinged lunatic killer.

Yeah, the Warbinger comparisons are pretty spot on, not that I would say they’re particularly derivative, it’s just clear they’re reaching for a lot of the same ideas. I still have high hopes for Terrifier, they DO have what it takes, they just need to get that killer album with a few solid fresh ideas, and I feel that people will end up noticing. It’s not as if they do not deserve to be popular already, it’s just hard to catch people’s attention when you have so much competition, a lot of it is just luck.

While I can’t say I’m the a huge fan of the vocals, the drumming here is so consistently excellent that I find myself wondering “is this secretly a death metal band?”. I’ve often questioned, “why does no one seem to talk about Terrifier?”, best guess, a combo of getting less exposure from being stuck in a smaller scene, and not being particularly productive in a fairly saturated field.

Ignore the silly-ass name

I’m trying, I’m trying so fucking hard but WHY. I mean, I’m kinda getting into it, the guitarwork and songwriting is just top notch.
