It sounds strange. Good songs, but weird production this time around. And I don't usually complain about that stuff as much as others do.

Finally got Pyrrhon's "The Mother of Virtue." Man. I love dissonant death metal so this is right up my alley, but the kind of looser feel they have - less of a quantized death metal clickclickclickclick, maybe some sludge/crust influence in there - makes the more chaotic parts that much more effective. I really like this.

Can someone link to the drama that happened with Cobalt? I see that Erik kicked Phil out of the band because of shit Phil did, but cannot find out what that shit is.
― Loud guitars shit all over "Bette Davis Eyes" (NYCNative), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 20:00 (nine years ago) link
Phil posted hateful, sexist, misogynistic screeds first against Caina and then a journalist. Erik decided enough was enough.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 20:08 (nine years ago) link
Any idea what the Loss guy's involvement was? I read somewhere that he chimed in with his own hateful statements. The Loss album finally clicked for me the other day; I've been listening to it a ton. I'd hate to see yet another talented metal musician fall by the wayside due to his own ignorant idiocy.

same sort of attack on the same journalist. Apparently feminism is the scariest thing to big bad metal guys.

I'm so stoked about Psych CA. I've been trying to get it together to make it to Roadburn, one of the Desertfests or Duna Jam for 5 years now and something always comes up. It's been killin me that most of those bands don't play in the U.S., even the ones who fuckin live in the U.S. (I'm lookin at you Wo Fat!). Good news is that Ufomammut announced they're playing Maryland Death Fest May 21. Chances are EXTREMELY good that they will also be booked as one of the headliners at Psych CA the week before that. Remaining on my wishlist are Colour Haze and Motorpsycho. Colour Haze played some fest in Ohio a decade ago, their only appearance in the U.S. Not sure about Motorpsycho. To get them all would be amazing.

Re: Cobalt
I was thinking "I wonder if K1m K3lly was the journalist," because she is a prominent metal journo who happens to be a female and she is also opinionated and has lent herself to controversy. Then I was like, no way, there are tons of female metal journalists I don't know, I just happen to know her, stop being so myopic! And then I just saw it was her... She's had a rough year between some deaths among her friends and family and being blasted on some other occasions by the underground metal internet wolves.
I hope she's okay but her Facebook feed about it has 900 replies and most of them seem to be supportive of her, which is nice.

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."

a lot of animus in certain metal circles toward the likes of antifa, right? heads feeling peevish about "outside" efforts to deny them access to cult nazis (or at least make them feel bad about the graveland collection). results in feelings of persectuion, backlash, etc.

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.

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.

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.

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.
