Yeah. It sucks. I believe people have the capacity to change, but this poo poo just sat 5 years because it somehow blew over. I'm not the person a slur was used against and the person the slur WAS used against is still pissed off and wanted it out there. It took being called out again to get it addressed by the individual and then the band. That's weak as gently caress.

"This is where it ends - I will not stay silent ever again*"

*except about how my band member said the most racist word 5 years ago and I knew all along and while writing the lyrics for this song, and even after the murder of George Floyd (and others), and only until my black acquaintance calls me out... yeah now i won't be silent. pinky promise

That super-cringe to anyone else? Is this that nu-metal-core that the kids are talking about these days?

Is it tongue in cheek and I'm too old to realize it? That dude looks like Kyle Mooney, so it could be a SNL skit I guess.

The production on the video is great though.

you're not alone bc i think that poo poo sucks and i actually like varials, spite, and traitors depending on the day/hour

it sucks even more when you add the corny loving music video with bucket hat outfits and street fighter poo poo. i don't think these kids know what tongue-in-cheek even means haha they're straight up proud

and if they're not kawaii anime boiz they're midwest type "edgy" guys like the loving wet noodle in the ghost inside making faces like this >:( at the camera in his highly curated, limited edition streetwear 'fit and lifting one sweatshirt sleeve to show off his straight edge 25 cent machine watch lololol come ON

Last two TAS tracks from the new record are out. 'Slow Decay' drops 7/24. Really happy with it, after being let down by Gravebloom this is exactly what I needed them to release.

take my complaining with a grain of salt bc i'm a dumb clown baby sucker who bought it all anyway

but i can NOT believe that TAS dropped a 12" with the entire album after dribbling out these 7"s every ~month. and the audacity to include two new songs that aren't on any of the 7" releases? i want to believe Rise Records had something to do with the structure but TAS obviously knew what they were doing and feels like a big gently caress you to anyone who wants to own their music and spend their money.

"oh you wanna support our decade+ old band? that's really sweet, how about you pay 4x the normal price of an album just because!"

i paid $126.55 total on all these records for a single release lol :saddowns:

just needed to get that out, sorry, thanks, gently caress.

I mean, we occasionally talk about BMTH, and they haven't released a proper metalcore since... what, "There Is A Hell...", maybe Sempiternal? Oli and co. can have all the Drop Bb riffs they want and occasional throwbacks, but they haven't been a -core band for the better part of a decade. According to my daughter, nowadays they're "a slightly less boring post-Diamond Eyes Deftones".

Kezia and Fortress are legit some of the best metal records I've heard, -core or not so yeah.

I preordered the deluxe vinyl and got my MP3s last night. I would rank it on the level or a little below Fortress, where my ranking is

Kezia
A Calculated Use of Sound
Fortress = Palimpsest
Volition
Scurrilous = Pacific Myth

Little Snakes and Fireplaces are standouts, with Fireplaces maybe being one of my favorite PrH tracks ever

It’s something totally different from the path Kezia/Fortress lay down. It was weird to hear Rody sing about...being a band.

Also, my least favorite PtH album is any other band’s best album
