Rolling Metal Thread 2014

Social Justice Warriors easily the weirdest pejorative I can recall. "Look at these jerks trying to make the world a better place. More fool them, I'm just going to complain about how whites can't get a fair shake in this crazy mixed up world."

To be fair, when it first popped up, it was used to make fun of people whose political action was entirely limited to posting pissy rants on Tumblr and other social platforms, rather than engaging in real-world action. Now, of course, like all things, it's been latched onto by dickheads.

Social Media Justice Warriors would have kept it "pure".

So this is where it all started

yea I dunno being a "social justice warrior" sounds p cool to me

amen

Guys, could we maybe not mention her by name? I know it's all "out there" but it's irrelevant who they went after, and having name attached to it is not making her life any easier because people are horrible. No need to inadvertently add to the pile-on.

maybe a mod could googleproof the mentions itt? k1m k311y etc

or just remove those? Googleproofing doesn't keep people who read it from figuring it out and it adds nothing. That's why I didn't mention who it was when I explained what happened.

She is posting about it on her own Facebook page so.......

You mean her private Facebook and Twitter? Yeah, that.

It's all over the internet, but hey, by all means, wipe it from existence here in a forum that is on her side and not being trollish about it.

Whatever dude. Really, don't know why I bother sometimes.

You're just overly sensitive. You probably need a hug.

i don't think anyone who's ever said "you need a hug" ever really intended to hug anyone

what is it about #gates that rips communities apart? maybe chill out a bit, nycnative?

we're not going to actually shit up this thread by feeding prozak's troll here, are we?

DON'T INVOKE HIS NAME (or whichever hemmorhoid took the reins at that site)

Are you guys all talking about the Stargazer on Nuclear War Now! records, or the metalcore Stargazer?

THE FORMER

not listened to the linked track but this sounds promising imo

Karyn Crisis -- best known for her trademark melodic singing and growling roars as the vocalist of Crisis (1993-2006) and Ephel Duath (2011-2014) -- will return with a new project, KARYN CRISIS' GOSPEL OF THE WITCHES, and consequent album, “Salem’s Wounds”, in 2015.

Due out March 9th in Europe and March 10th in North America via Century Media Records, “Salem’s Wounds” contains 13 tracks recorded by Karyn together with Davide Tiso (Ephel Duath), Ross Dolan (Immolation), Mike Hill (Tombs) and Charlie Schmid (Vaura). For a first preview of “Salem’s Wounds”, check out the new track, “Mother”, below:

“Mother”: http://youtu.be/_1AIUdaHT_k

“Salem’s Wounds” was financed by fans via websites like Indiegogo/Etsy and recorded at The Basement Recordings in North Carolina with producer Jamie King (Between The Buried And Me, The Contortionist). The album cover was painted by Karyn herself, who (in addition to her vocal talents) is a respected painter and leatherworker.

Have these guys been discussed yet? Members of In Solitude, Nitad, Paper, Kvoteringen and Trapdoor Fucking Exit.

Could whomever posted that screenshot with my name in it get rid of it? Thanks.

Xpost I thought we were all just replaying Rainbow's "Stargazer" tbh

xpost - I think you'll have to make a mod request in the proper thread, individual users can't edit their own posts.

I sent a message to Ned via Facebook to hopefully expedite things and apologized to KK for posting it.

It's not until next year but apparently beloved doom troupe Acid King has reformed!

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 18, 2014 – Acid King, pioneers of the San Francisco doom scene and one of the genre’s first bands to be helmed by a woman, return from their self-imposed 10-year recording hiatus on April 14 with the release of Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere.

“We had several songs in the works over the years that we spent most of our time touring Europe but in between working our day jobs, we didn’t put the effort into recording,” explained singer/guitar player Lori S. “I really wanted to accelerate the process and get new music out. It’s time. This music that we’ve been playing for so long, that was initially obscure and underground, seemed to grow over these past 10 years and the timing was right to release this now!”

Middle of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere was recorded at both Sharkbite and Tiny Telephone Studios in San Francisco, mixed at Different Fur Studios and produced by Acid King and Billy Anderson. The digital release will be released independently via Acid King while physical copies, both CD and vinyl, will be available via Svart Records.

Acid King bubbled up from San Francisco in 1993 through a fog of revved up riffs, thunderous drums, and a hypnotic vocal howl. They unleashed three EPs and three full-length albums, starting with Zoroaster in 1995, the 1999 full-length Busse Woods, and their most recent release, Acid King III, coming in 2005. Their seismic chemistry transfixed audiences everywhere from high-profile festivals such as Hellfest and Roadburn to now iconic shows alongside peers such as Sleep and Mystick Krewe of Clearlight.

The band recently confirmed their participation in Desertfest, April 24 to 26 in the UK. North American tour dates will be announced soon.

Sweet.

awesome! was listening to busse woods the other day, wondering when/if they might be recording again.

Hail Santa!!!

Deck the hells

Tralala la la lalala laaaa

just sent my metal friend a link to the High Spirits album. he loves it but he almost didn't even listen to it bc of how bad the cover is.

that cover is so terrible.

I love that cover except for the font on the band's name.

For an album that sounds so much like Coney Hatch, that cover isn't quite ludicrous enough to resemble a Coney Hatch record.

holy shit that album RULES. listening now for the 1st time - thanks so much for this, static!

cover is terrible tho, hate to break it to u :(

xp Still wondering what the hell a Coney Hatch is.

Free demo by Devil Ancestry has been in rotation lately:

If you like low-slung, bass-heavy Beherit style pharmaco-satanic blackened death... well, there it is.

Fully expecting to find out it's another Stargazer side project btw.

xp Still wondering what the hell a Coney Hatch is.

Oh yeah I know the band; just that name, man.

they're named after an insane asylum

the metal thread in 2014 has referenced Coney Hatch

I am frankly giddy about this.
