Where's the music posts? Well, there aren't any (new ones) here. The "scene" killed them. But I do have a post:
PERPETUATION A Gnostic ignoramus, an anti-partisan pessimist, or just a guy who's tired of everyone's bullshit...but I'll go with an Esoteric Escapist. "Part of the problem" - yes. Yes I am...that is, if "the problem" is that the battle between good and evil still rages on. But isn't it widespread, infallible knowledge that such a battle will NEVER end, lest we delve into theology and reach into unseen philosophical conclusions? Ahh...but to disagree with fucking Einstein. "The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything." Why...little ol' me? Not doing evil, then? But still destroying the world? Isn't THAT, in itself, an act of evil? To me, this just states an act of perpetuation. It also tends to put some importance on an unimportant individual in implying my sins of omission somehow make a ripple. I simply know my place. I simply realize that delusions cannot add up to a tangible weapon. And, knowing my societal position, to think that my inactivity truly IS a "sin of omission" in some grand scheme of contemporary cultural (bowel) movement would certainly be delusional. Maybe someone else, someone not born in a crippling hole, might be obligated to use some existing power to help some cause. But, no. Not this "Esoteric Escapist". I might know things - reluctantly keep up with my species...but to jump to action? That's a perfect "moth to flame" scenario. And I'm sorry, but most of you that I do observe are goddamned moths. Perpetuation. Remember -and think about - that word. What part in it all do you play? To be cliche' - I just want to watch the world burn. Sounds bleak, maybe a bit villainous, and certainly negative. But in a world that's bound to burn, regardless...is it, really that negative? But why am I so special that I get to excuse myself from the room? That's just it. In the scheme of this chaotic universe, unlike how so many plebs think they are, I'm absolutely NOT special. So scream into the void. Relish in the echoes. Keep your insistence that all those that talk like this are "centrists", or your disdain for people that stand for nothing, and fling whatever foul insults you want t at those literally doing nothing but observing (I prefer "sentinel")...just realize that you exhibit quite a bit of delusional arrogance in doing so. And the louder you are with it, the more perpetuation you're creating than anything I can pull off from my nihilistic sidelines. - TTSNSN 7/16/19 Welcome to where METAL still stems from its historically factual forefathers and up to pre-millenium extreme metal - a site supporting the bands today that still value and respect such ideologies, and barring those that lie in denial! Explore record reviews, articles, short-fiction, in-depth interviews, and much more. This is a site governed by a relentless metal fanatic, for people of the same obsessions. Enjoy.
New article for January, 2019:
Below is an archive of old content. With the Top 25 list above, I hope for it to be somewhat of a resurrection of this site. But situations have dictated that I don't have a lot of time or energy for regular updating. I hope to change that soon. Let's see what 2019 brings. I hope you all have a Happy New Year.
A very personal article addressing some major issues in metal and how to handle it...or NOT handle it, perhaps:

The Grim Tower <---Check 'em out.
One of the few online publications that has supported Shadowlights thus far. Thanks, Grim Ones! "When one's goal is to find the least known, purest, most undiluted, rawest, unadulterated music out there, you aren't just simply brainwashed by the mainstream to just like any scrap you're thrown...and the only mainstream you enjoy ends up being so because it's the best and you can't help yourself.
This is why an 'elitist' acts like he knows his shit. It's not popularity he hates. There's big bands in his player. It's just that he has So MUCH HONEST AND REAL MUSIC to compare it to. And if a semi-'good' (i.e. "acceptable") corporate band slips by us...this is also why we ain't cryin' for missing out."
