Uncle Boogeyman posted:It's insane that they're still putting out some of their best material. Blood Spiller is riff of the year. I absolutely thought Cave In was done after final transmission, which was understandably pretty half baked and just figured they’d move on to projects like mutoid man and wear your wounds. Instead they release a record that some days of the week I’d say is their best ever

The Mercyful Fate set opening with The Oath was so, so loving good. I realize though that some of these songs were written before I was born lmao

Half-baked isn't wrong but the circumstances were quite terrible!

I have literally no idea where the hell to put this because it's not metal, not trap, and not exclusively electronic, but it's at least metal-adjacent. Kordhell (Mick from Anaal Nathrakh's EDM/witch house side project) put out a collaboration album with Scarlxrd (UK trap-metal rapper), and it's weird as gently caress but I'm kinda digging it. https://open.spotify.com/album/7GjyuDC6hZNicG8Gj7cR8R

so I got a Demons and Wizards video rec in the youtube sidebar the other day which was neat because I haven't thought of D&W in eons. And then I learned they put out a new album recently and also that Schaffer was at Jan 6, which I missed the first time around

dime may have been an alcoholic but he was cool with every person he ever interacted with so im not going to speak ill of the guy. playing a confederate flag guitar, at the time, was not nearly as much of a major chud sign as it was now. would he have sucked? maybe, but he never had the chance

I don't think they were saying the Confederate flag wasn't racist, they were saying that (the majority) of people didn't perceive it as a racist thing back then.

Seems a little crazy to me to think a majority of people didn’t see the confederate flag as racist in the 90s, it really wasn’t that long ago. I’m guessing I didn’t know anyone back then who didn’t view it as racist but

Most racism is carried out unconsciously. In Texas I'm sure the confederate flag is a great source of pride and your average dumbass thinks it's a stand-in for "rebellion" or whatever without critical thought.

I’m guessing I didn’t know anyone back then who didn’t view it as racist but I'm 24 and when I was growing up it wasn't uncommon at all for people to see it. I never wore it myself but I didn't view it as a racist thing until I was a teen and learned about what it actually meant. Growing up I always just thought it was like a flag for people in the South. We also celebrated Columbus day growing up in school. The societal viewpoint in change towards these things is a pretty recent phenomenon (and I'm not arguing that's a bad thing, gently caress the confederates and gently caress CC). EDIT: ^Henchman put it more eloquently than I did.

Rebelling against what though (the government telling you what to I.e. don’t say the gamer word or refuse to hire black people) It’s not that grown adults didn’t know what the confederacy was, it’s that it was socially acceptable to think the wrong side won

Pantera was one of my gateway bands into real metal, but I really couldn't stand them after getting into better stuff. I also hate the production on all their stuff. It's not bad or anything, but every album sounds like a loving glam metal record to me.
