  1. Been a while since I posted in here. Some vinyls I've purchased this year:

     

     

    When the riff kicks in at almost 2:00 I cum. Heaviest fuckin' riff I've heard in a long time.

     

     

     

    Djent that's not djeneric. The vocalist is great. Love the guitar riff in the verse. Overall very catchy.

     

     

     

    I think this is Cannibal Corpse's best album in a long time. Easily in their top 3 or 4 IMO.

     

     

     

    If Magma didn't do anything for you then you probably won't enjoy this album either. But I loved Magma. This is one of the softer songs on the album, but the subject matter is heavy as fuck. And the song is beautiful.

     

     

     

    The last music Alexi Laiho recorded before his passing is better than the last few Bodom records IMO. It also has an absolutely killer cover of my favorite black metal song ever.

     

     

     

    Chris Letchford is probably my favorite modern guitar player. I like his melodies and compositions quite a bit. I thought Scale the Summit's last album was a bit disappointing overall, but this new album is absolutely amazing. 8 songs recorded with 8 different guest vocalists as well as the instrumental versions on the second vinyl. I'd only heard of two of the vocalists before (Ross Jennings from Haken and Courtney LaPlante from Spiritbox), but my favorite is the last track on the album with a guy named Eli Cutting. Just a beautiful track. I especially enjoy the middle section.

     

     

     

    Fear Factory was one of the first heavy bands I got into in the late 90s so I'll always have a soft spot for them. Not their strongest outing but not their weakest either. Really there are only a couple of songs on this album that I think are duds. But the rest follow the tried and true FF formula of fast staccato syncopated rhythms, shouty verses and meloncholic choruses, and lyrics about robots and end times and all that sci-fi stuff I'm a sucker for. But, this is probably the last album they'll ever make.

    Unleash the Archers. A band that I wasn't really into pre-pandemic. I think being trapped inside for a long time made me more into power metal, which is something I've never really been into. Their album "Abyss" is great.

     

    However, THIS SONG absolutely fucks.

     

     

     

    I know they were supposed to go on tour with Dragon Force before the pandemic, I hope they still do. I would love to see them live.

     

    It was my number 1 of 2020. No contest. Every song on this album is a banger.

    Unfortunately, he (and the rest of the lot) were/are never going to do that anyway.  

     

    The most that we can hope for his that they suffer infirmities in their old age.

     

    With some of these guys without SS protection there's a chance--however small--that a violent vigilante does something.

    The only known unknown about where he currently resides is which level of hell he will spend eternity

     

    Actually, I'm sad he's dead. Now he will never suffer in any way for his war crimes.

    I'm not holding my breath. We don't get all the federal holidays and used to get nothing between New Year's and Memorial Day and then this year they gave us MLK Day...but at the cost of IIRC December 24, or the 26th if Christmas Day was a Thursday. Which is fine in terms of we get enough vacation that needing to spend an extra vacation day over the holidays instead of getting it for free as an office holiday doesn't really matter but it's annoying because a three day weekend right after the holidays feels like more of a disruption from getting back into the swing of things after the holidays than relaxing. I ranked President's Day as my top choice in the survey they sent around because I figured it'd be nicer to make it more midway between January 1 and Memorial Day. 

     

    So based on how stingy they were about MLK Day needing to be a swap from a different holiday instead of just giving us the extra day, if we do get it I bet they do it as another swap by making us charge the day after Thanksgiving or something like that. Especially since they were stingy dicks about giving us MLK Day as a swap before they just spent 6 months having to cover an unusual number of people on overhead funds due a period where new contracts for projects was super dry. Maybe SOME tiny nonzero chance to jive with all the internal diversity and inclusivity initiatives they've been doing but like I said not holding my breath. 

     

    This is exactly it. It will just be exchanged for one of the "meaningless" holidays. I'm betting MLK ("they already got one") or Memorial Day so that they can make that eternity after the new year without a paid holiday seem even longer.

    Also will it finally, actually take place in present day? Or we are going to continue to ruin the backstory of "I hid from the world for 100 years after World War I" thing?

     

    We're going 90s baby. Has to open with a scene of her rescuing somebody in an arcade while deflecting bullet-speed Blockbuster Video cases flung at her by Silver Swan for some reason.

     

    And as long as it's Gal Gadot as WW I'll be there no matter what.
