There is no such thing as a bad Death record - they are each unique and have their own sound. Saying stuff is poo poo after soandso with regards to them is a garbage opinion.

The two albums with Steve Di Giorgio, Human and ITP are so insanely good and to just poo poo on them is insulting to Chuck's legacy.

These albums took the band in such an amazing direction and show casing just how versatile Chuck was.

Burton C Bell announced today he is officially leaving Fear Factory. Seems he’s been drained legally over some infighting with other members.

quote:


IN MY OWN WORDS

I consider myself a private person, preferring to keep my personal business to myself and trusted loved ones. I make my public statements with thoughtful intent, never deviating from the truth, in spite of the consistent series of dishonest representations and unfounded accusations from past and present band members; a toxic drama I choose to not be part of.

The past several years have been profoundly agonizing, with these members bleeding my passion with depraved deceit. As a direct consequence of their greed, these three have dragged me through the unjust, judicial system, resulting in the legal attrition that has financially crippled me. In the end, these three members have taken possession of my principal livelihood. However, they will never take my 30-year legacy as the beating heart of the machine. A legacy that no other member, past or present, can ever claim.

So, it is after considerable, contemplative soul searching that I have come to the realization that I cannot align myself with someone whom I do not trust, nor respect. Therefore, I am announcing to my fans my departure from Fear Factory, to focus all my energy and attention toward the continuing success for Ascension of The Watchers, and all my future endeavors.

I am very proud of the Ascension of The Watchers’ latest album, APOCRYPHA. The writing and recording process for APOCRYPHA has been a truly cathartic and artistic journey of exploration and growth for me. Reigniting my passions for my writing, allowing my music to flourish, enabling my soul to soar, saving me from the real hell that engulfed a significant part of my daily life. Collaborating with talented, kindred spirits has truly created an inspirational environment of support and mutual respect, a spirit I have missed for a very long time.

I would like to thank all of my fans for their continued support throughout my career. I am very proud of my achievements, but, it is time for me to move forward. Now I look to the future with open eyes, open mind and open heart, as my artistic path strives for even greater success in music, writing and my art. It’s true, “the end is always the beginning”. The soul is free from the machine.

– Burton C. Bell

I was just commenting last night on the Discord that Tombs of Chaos has a very strong "Summoning Redemption" feel from Morbid Angel's G album.

Ever since I saw em live and the singer was wearing Morbid Angel sweatpants I knew they were part-worship of them, haha.

They haven't gotten better since the first album and that fame probably got to Daron's head since Toxicity was such a different album featuring his stupid influences. The s/t was loving heavy and I was so excited to see what they would do.

The demos for the 2nd album leaked out I remember and I was like, hell yeah, this is good. Then it got cleaned up and we ended up with one hell of a appeal to the masses albums at the time. It was so watered down. So weak.

But if you look at the top plays on Spotify, I am clearly not the intended audience anymore.



They are not this band anymore:

Mikael had some beautiful words for LG.

quote:

”This morning I got the news that LG Petrov had passed away. Now, I only seem to post something when someone I or we collectively admire has passed away, and for this I’m sorry. Usually I feel the need to write something when a musician that’s been part of my music-life has passed away. This time it's different however. LG was "our guy”. A Stockholm original. I should rephrase and say he ”is” our guy, really. That will never change, even if he’s physically not here anymore. He epitomized the term ”down to earth”. No frills. He was just a downright lovely person. Brimming with positivity. A friend. Someone we knew, and he knew us. Every time I ran into him we always talked and laughed about something. He’d bum a cigarette (back when I was a smoker) and we’d have a beer, chatting away. Hearing about his illness came as a shock, but somewhere in your mind it’s not ”real” until it becomes real. It’s impossible to prepare for something like this anyways, so why bother?

Musically he was a giant in the world of singers. I like to think I’ve told him too, but LG being LG, he would have laughed it off. My favorite performance of his was when Entombed played at the Royal Opera here in Stockholm. It was amazing! LG at the piano! They put a lot of attending musicians to shame that evening, and I was one of them. We will have to let this sink in. It’s not as easy as having a ”Entombed-evening” on the stereo and expect to feel better. Soon enough though, I hope. We wish to extend our sincere condolences and respect to his family and friends, as well as to all members of Morbid, Nihilist and Entombed, past or present. Many of which are friends of ours.

drat it! It’s even difficult to stop writing as that kind of seals everything. But there you go. Lars Göran Petrov, rest in peace.” - Mikael on behalf of Opeth
