Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do.
Finnish band Nightstop released a new song, feat. ADTRW apparently:

Semi-NWS perhaps? I'll give a hint, the name of the song is Hentai Samurai.

Yeah he's being a moron but he's unfortunately being a very common type of moron when it come's to Scandinavians, metal and nazis. I've had the "you know that band you like would have you murdered in cold blood irl" talk a few too many times.

Anyway I missed that Kavinsky did another single heor:

And also a personal favorite band of mine, The Birthday Massacre have a new album out this morning

Just listened to Zenith by Kavinsky, and I'm still not a fan of the slower-tempo and heavy use of vocals, especially not when it sounds like they're autotuned.
If peak Kavinsky feels like racing down a highway in the deep night with the pedal to the metal on Testarossa Autodrive, Zenith feels like a slow meander down a beachfront boardwalk on a electrically-assisted bike.

Isn't The Birth Massacre more rock/dark wave? It's alright; I especially like the sound qualities of the chorus, but I feel like with a song that's 5 minutes 2 seconds, they could've done a bit more a breakdown and/or extended solo instead of just repeating the same word over and over again.

Not 100% sure what's up with retro wave and really expensive, useless merch but if you want a pipe that says "PERTURBATOR" on it, it can be yours for around 240 quid

Nah. Dark All Day was a few bangers and a lot of bloaty meh, which is about equal to the Midnights worst album (monsters). Horror Show was all bangers, so I'm writing off Monsters as a miss rather than the norm.

new carpenter brut is like a 4/10 for me.

dark industrial synth is very much not my preferred flavor of synth music. gimme retro 80s ballad rock neo-funk all day.

I've got some thoughts on Leather Terror I need to work thru a bit more but it feels like there is a shifting on the vocal tracks from the vocals being part of the melody to the melodic focus
Like the non-vocal songs are still quite strong here as mentioned in the Day Stalker -> Night Prowler and I think there are still good vocal songs on the album like The Widow Maker, I probably just need some sleep and a re listen.

It's no Trilogy, sadly. It's kinda funny because I find Kavinsky's new album disappointing for the opposite reasons. Still, good for both of these artists to try different styles.
