Forgotten Heroes of modern music

Pantera was part of the downfall of metal.

No offense to those who enjoy the people in the band personally. I’ve met several and they’re good guys.

But turning speed metal into party rock was a fatal move.

It opened the way for the real blight, which is the indie-emo-screamo-weeabo shit we see even in black metal now.

I can’t stand the saccharine, unmasculine, revengeful crap that John Lennon put out. I’m sorry for the loss of George Harrison however.

Demoncy “Enthroned is the Night” news

Tomas at Forever Plagued Records gave us a brief update:

  • The artwork is submitted to the manufacturer. It will take a week or two to finalize the art is all correct.
  • Once that is done production will begin.
  • Hoping that this is ready before new years but presuming the holiday seasons slow down production, it will most likely be early 2012.

Thank you to Tomas for keeping us posted and publishing this future essential of the American black metal movement.

In addition, unofficial insider sources — 100% unrelated to Forever Plagued Records — suggest the latest Demoncy will be better than expected. The sample track reveals the style but not the substance of the album.
