Isn't it sweet? Evil Chuck went from hostile to "questioning" in his lyrics in a few years. I prefer when bands are outright aggressive about their views. Bandcamp linked below because it's a legal/complete/free album stream below. Better than Youtube with audio compression. http://birthad.bandcamp.com/ The best thrash album of 2013 since thrash AOTY was mentioned earlier.

IronLawnmower posted:Where Death a legit homophobic band? Who knows, so many metal bands have lyrics that verge on homophobia or have been flat out accused of it, but I don't know that there are that many bands that make it a central point. Disclaimer: I don't listen to black metal, so I have no point of reference in that genre.

How do you even take Sabaton too seriously? It's basically history buffery. Have they ever done a "we ain't gonna take no poo poo" type of masturbatory fanbase song? e: the Sword makes the best drat shirts, grabbed this sucker just after it went out of print  a metal band shirt that isn't black?!?

I love Wormed but lyrics for them are absolutely unnecessary, much like the majority of brutal death metal that relies on guttural vocals. Try following those lyrics to the actual music without having a stroke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_x42Z7QqkA

I dig Wormed's goofy sci-fi lyrics, Wikipedia sheds some light on their latest album - quote:Lyrically, Exodromos is a prequel of Planisphaerium; the story tells about futuristic science concepts and chaotic visions of the last human left in cosmos, Krighsu. These are particularly in relation to the awakening of the "Chrym" once the last humans of the year 8K, called the Terrax, disappeared, and the known universe was absorbed by a quantum wormhole in an inverted multi-vectorial reionization. Krighsu, will travel through xenoverses to found a new world with the human seed.

I actually bought the bundle on vinyl because when I placed the order they didn't have the purple shirt with the other releases. I don't own a record player.

Tangentially metal-related, but Brent Hinds is going to play Ryan Dunn in a "documentary with dramatic interludes" produced by Bam Margera. Which makes sense because Brent Hinds is extremely likely to die in a drunken blaze.
