But what band was found under black metal? Fucking Underoath. Along with Incantation and Katatonia... http://www.metalsucks.net/wp-content/up ... metals.jpg And Witchfynde? |

The idea itself is fairly cool, but it's not very reader-friendly, and the choice of bands is, let's be straightforward, random as fuck. |

"Best exodus album. When you are listening at it just pure hate running in your veins. All bands members do their best to bring that hate out. Really great vocals from Paul . He sounds like a fucking beast who wants to pick up a fight. Gary Holt and Rick Hunolt did some really great job. Riffs of this lp are intense and when you hearing at it adrenaline comes in high level. As for rythm section Rob Mckillop and Tom Hunting played tighted and they closed the hole package of mental lp. All songs are top and no fillers included here. Every song wrote its own history in thrash metal . Bonded by blood is included in top 10 of the best thrash albums and i recomended to all mental and sick fans of that music. as Paul screams : turn to look at baphomet from below and not above welcome to my sacrifice tonight there'll be no love!" |

Seems someone "butchered" the lyrics from the Cannibal Corpse song "Edible Autopsy" Wheeled in on a cart, lying dormant not dead Hospital of immortality, butcher their patients bloody red Taken to a dark room, fear of impending doom The doctor straps you down, with an evil grin Grabs his rusty blade, ripping through flesh and vein He tortures his patients through evil means You can't try to fight them, first they change your brain beyond the realm of evil, their means are insane Mutilated beyond belief, but still kept alive Pathologist of death gouging out your eyes Guts and blood, bones are broken As they eat your pancreas Human liver, for their diner Or maybe soup with eyes Cause of death, still unknown Gnawing meat, from your bones Bone saw binding in your skull Brains are oozing a human stump Needles injected, through your eyes Puiling off flesh, skinned alive Killing for free in blood they will trust, and they must never forsake feeding on blood that brought them abound, and they must kill tonight Genocide, suicide, screaming cries, in hell you will die Lying dormant not dead Hospital of immortality, butcher their patients bloody red Taken to a dark room, fear of impending doom The doctor straps you down, with an evil grin Grabs his rusty blade, ripping through flesh and vein He tortures his patients through evil means |

Makes more sense now in fact. You guys have a point with the writing on an asylum wall thing, although I still think I'd explode from laughter after seeing "Your brain Because ownership of the devil". |

I think my favorite part of that second one is "I must admit that all songs are recorded in Spanish", as if that's supposed to be a downside to the overall performance. I laughed really hard at the Sunn O))) punctuation in the first one, too. |

For the new Immolation, a 0%...It doesn't make any sense and it's fucking pretentious. This guy apparently writes for Metal Temple too! "If a woman is on the borderline of making her decision in the area of plastic surgery, then you might be in a bit of a conundrum convincing them otherwise. In America, such a form of surgery is popular for reduction or enhancement. Whatever the case, it’s completely unnatural and disgusting. I’m sure there’s a lot of men who get off at artificial breast/buttock overload (I wouldn’t exactly call them real men either). I’m not an expert in the field and sure there might be some beneficial reasons through surgery not involving reduction/enhancement but for an appearance issue (sexual appeal) I loathe it to the extreme. Natural women are beautiful. Trying to follow the criteria of what a nation defines as “beautiful” is ridiculous. Seeing women of all shapes and sizes is a magnificent thing and to think appearance is highly valued to where formerly beautiful women “enhance” their status through cosmetics and surgery is a bit of a letdown. They’ve become the very thing they were trying to get away from, ironic huh? Do I have you confused? You might be thinking what’s the connection? Well if you’re good at using your critical thinking skills you probably already figured it out. I was very excited to have “Kingdom Of Conspiracy” under my wing and even gloat about how I received this album almost one month before its official release date. Oh how I regret it and should’ve silently listened to “Kingdom Of Conspiracy” behind thick barricades where my existence would've been hidden during the remainder of this suicidal thought-provoking mess of a record. You have to wonder whom to blame, the victim or the benefactor. Following the ideology of the American society, they have a tendency to blame the victim rather than the opposite end who committed the crime. A lot of other countries look down upon this approach. It’s a tough one; I cannot blame Immolation who I once announced to be one of my favorite death metal bands. I want to condemn the physical location itself because inside are countless numbers of perceived money-hungry surgeons whom might not apply to every single last one of them. Nuclear Blast is an indirect mutilator. Technically, if you look at it from different views, there are a lot of victims. Immolation’s mistake was signing onto Nuclear Blast itself. Even if the album was given a more natural gut-raping sound, I still would've thought this as an average attempt. The formula is rather basic. It appreciates finding a catchy hook and carrying it through with no surprises what so ever. It’s too forward and predictable. There’s a difference between hypnotic and ground-breaking catchiness, respectively and nonchalant catchiness. This is lazy and authenticity is buried among chambers still filled with secrets to find. As the analogy presented in the preface, everything comes off as synthetic even if technically there are human beings behind its mechanics. The biggest disappointment is Steve Shalaty. The horrid and robotic-like strikes, humanity being engulfed in travesty turmoil. Computation and precision seem to supersede originality, creativity, and passion. He’s pressured and carried downstream to a puddle of onslaught-programmed blast beats. The woe of the soul is submerged in automaticity." |

Is that the entire review? The whole intro analogy thing vaguely makes sense and I could see how it could be an introduction to a music review, but then it's like his laptop battery was dying starting in the second paragraph, where his analogy morphs into a weird meta-analogy that makes very little sense, then quickly realized he had better talk about the music before the laptop bit the dust, which amounts to basically, "uh...robotic!" Very silly. |

That's awful. Shit; there comes a time when you just need to wrap up your metaphor and just get on with actually reviewing the music. Metaphors are cool, but not when they're that convoluted and masturbatory. That's just really, really poor writing, which is a shame because it's obvious he actually has some talent otherwise. |

This is really Kruel territory, just somehow he manages to be even more pretentious, which is sort of impressive because I thought it's impossible to reach that level of pseudo-reviewing horribleness. |

What would be the point of even having zero if no review could get accepted with that score? What about 1%? If that's also too mean for you, what would be an acceptable cut-off? 49% is still failing. How about we change the review system to gold stars or smiley faces? |

Eliminating 0% is a totally ridiculous concept, but it does make sense to have a bit stricter approach to extreme ratings (<20% and >90%), as these should require a really damn good explanation, and some people just hand them out freely whenever they have a bad day/sudden burst of euphoria. 0% should really be for something that has ZERO value, not for an album you sort of dislike but have some ridiculous ideological grudge against (yes I know I use this word a lot here), and 100% should be for a genuine masterpiece not just a good album. |

Who are you guys to say that someone's feelings towards an album don't justify a 0% or a 100%? Are you going to try to police everyone to have the exact same grading scale that you do? |
