Since it is being reissued, this album demands a revisit, which is fortunate because as metal casts around for a direction, Solitvdo present one option with their carefully-structured formalized style which periodically uses synthesized horns to present a martial and elegant front.

Apparently emerging from a podcast done by lead writer Mike Schiff, this documentary concerns the parallel lives and interwoven fates of heavy metal music and horror films, making a good case that people who do not buy into society’s nonsense tend to choose a path where power is more desirable than safety and popularity.

Stick a bunch of Finns together in a winter war bunker with copies of Blood Fire Death and Under the Sign of the Black Mark, and you might get this imaginative band that stands astride black metal, speed metal, and epic heavy metal with an emphasis on changing atmosphere.

Wheat beers can be hit or miss. When they hit, they have a flavor like fresh bread with a twist of lemon, if you can imagine such a thing; when they fail, they taste like American grocery store bread, basically sweetness with a hint of grain in the background.

While many of their riffs are clearly inspired by the early years of Carcass, Sick Sinus Syndrome introduce variety to this often tired formula by taking an aggressive approach comparable to Terrorizer, Repulsion, or Blood. In the grindcore tradition, most songs on this album consist of two themes juxtaposed, frequently a rising and falling action, sometimes presaged by an introduction.

In the idiosyncratic anomalies of metal, Global Warming stands out for being a death metal album with thrash vocals and occasional heavy metal influences which come from the more confrontational side of that genre instead of the groovy, relaxed side.

Cherry MX Board 1.0 red switch wired mechanical keyboard
$50
Many of you play games, and many others are simply nerds, so you probably have interest in mechanical keyboards. The problem you face arises from most of the buying audience being hipsters who gravitate toward $300 feature-laden keyboards that offer no additional function.

Although this album recently got released, the Committee got ahold of it and mucked up the production and changed the tracks. You want the original 1996 version which compiled demos from Vader in the years leading up to The Ultimate Incantation.
