Timeless band. Does DMU still accept articles?
If they’re good, they’re not going to say no
There are very few absolutes except marijuana decriminalization. If it fits with the general agenda of the site and its areas of coverage, we are all ears. Zap editor@deathmetal.org with your best shot.
Are people allowed to send pictures of their cats… pictures of their sodomy… or both (pussyfooting)?
Please do not sodomize the cats. I stand against cute culture, otherwise would encourage kittie pictures. But sodomy, especially of the dead and dismembered, is always welcome!

When we rereleased Tbe Orange Album back in 2020, I told Rob we should change our name to Citrus Ungol. I think he hired those two ladyboys to get back at me.
Anyhow, it’s great to see something other than Brett sucking off Dutchmen again
I love the Dutch, man. If you cannot be English, Swedish, Norwegian, or northern German, being Dutch or Finnish is a very close second. Scots are in the same category: too clever for their own good, but not as much as the Belgians, Chinese, or Jews. I will always remember my time in The Netherlands fondly, even if they ride bicycles too much (bad for the knees, why all old Dutch women stoop).
eh, pedalling is great and recommended as a cure for patellofemoral ailments.The correct cycling technique is to ensure a seat height that enforces near-full extension of the legs. No knee pain then.
I think it places repetitive strain on some parts of the knee. So do many things, but with the bicycle it can become pronounced over time. Islam has made bicycles haram so they will probably not exist in Europe much longer anyway.
I don’t train endurance, but in strength training, like for climbing, avoiding repetitive overuse injury is quite possible and plausible even though the specific competition movement is repetitive, by applying the principles behind what is called “conjugate” training.
Essentially, you train variations of your competition movement so that you get carryover to it, but stress your joints from different angles and in different ways, thereby preventing any one injury vector from collapsing
The conjugate thing is a specific program which I guess could serve as inspiration but no better for all of that than any other balanced approach. I’ve gathered so much knowledge over the years with regards to health and fitness that I pretty much just improvise every time I work out and go by feel, never really counting reps or keeping track of time. I like to keep it simple, bodyweight stuff as a foundation and a lot of lifting, walking, swimming. It would drive me insane to stuck to a program with all I know. But I’m also pretty spontaneous in general. In any case, whatever I do, I also do the opposite, as a rule of thumb, in motion, intensity, whatever. This has served me well.
If you don’t use variations, then you need to wave your percentages and have periods of submaximal work. You get more specificity, but at the cost of volume, frequency, and intensity.
If you max out on all 3 with maximum specificity for a particular athletic goal as if your life depended on it, then you won’t last in this game.
You can and should train as if your life depends on it, but it must be done intelligently
For sure. I like to go as hard as I can. Learned the hard way that’s not always an option, and how to still be able to do it half the time. Eventually. Lucky I’m dumb and tough and mom fed me right else I’d have real problems by now. Cheers
I’m discovering at 45, there’s no point going as heavy as I did in my youth. Granted I was never particularly strong (425/285/505) being my absolute peaks. But I’ve collected a bunch of niggles along the way and the only way of resolving them appears to be losing weight via walking and jogging A LOT.
In my experience doing some 24+ hr water fasting here and there is a non-negotiable.
I let intuition affect my programming, too, to decide when I need to change variation
Belgians make fuckin awesome beer. Have you ever faceplanted onto some Brussels cobblestone with a days’ pay of beer in your guts? I vaguely recall stumbling into some cool metal record store too (visions of Barcelona, whores calling out from the alleys, weaving liltingly across goddamn cobblestones, metal record store with a first edition wax of Hallucinating Anxiety hanging on the wall behind the counter, brief calculations to determine breaches in security…). Discovered some German erotic comics under the counter in a comic book store-turned-to-bottle shop. I can still remember pounding that first dark Belgian sour on the stoop out front. Kid, it was tasty…
Glorious tribute to a favorite author. Wonderfully portrayed.
Fuck you brett
I saw Beherit in Belgium this week, and what stuck with me the most is how Nuclear Holocausto kept wandering aimlessly with his flashlight at the back of the stage, as if he were an old man who didn’t remember where he was, or maybe he imagined he was in a detective movie.
I think everyone wanted less of a rave and more of a bunch of guys with guitars doing black metal. He focused on vocals and did a good job, as did his supporting band, when I saw them, but the heavy use of sequencers made the whole thing a bit canned with too much focus on bass.
Blasphemy were always better than Beherit anyway.
I gotta say here that I’m glad I got to see Godflesh before they supposedly quit touring. They put on a solid performance and that was one of the best full body bass experiences I’ve ever had.
New Archgoat out, decent as always.
With some bands, the minimum is also the ceiling. Not “oof” but “hohum.”
Like most bands reviewed here?
Weird passive-aggressive style of shade to throw at a review site lol
The implication is that there’s something better to review, but all we get is another lesbian.

Wants The Wops sounds like the name of a shitty live punk album recorded in the late 70s but released in 1983 years after the frontman died of an overdose. Probably would read “wantsthewops!”
cutting the hollywood romantic crap. let’s make this more interesting. take the real ancient viking (aka the small struggling 5’4 viking with brown hair) with the typically ancient shortlived lifespan, vs the scurvy miserable filthy pirate (barely lived to see 30), vs the rotting cowboy (strychnine whiskey anyone?) vs the overrated english knight with back problems in a miserable death match in a modern generic setting where “everything’s poissible”
alright screw the romance, let’s do the Historical Misery Deathmatch
No plot armor. No Hollywood. Just 4 miserable dudes with shitty healthcare.
The fighters:
1. Ancient Viking – “The 5’4 Struggler”
Stats: 5’4, malnourished, arthritis by 25, probably has worms. Life expectancy: 35 if lucky
Gear: Axe, seax knife, wool that smells like fish.
Strengths: Grew up fighting for food. Zero fear of dying. Pain tolerance = insane
Weaknesses: Scurvy, rickets, can barely see past 20 feet
2. Scurvy Pirate – “Barely Made It To 30”
Stats: Missing teeth, bleeding gums, skin falling off. Drunk 24/7 on rum to mask the pain
Gear: Cutlass, rusty pistol that misfires, peg leg maybe
Strengths: Dirty fighter. Will bite, stab, throw sand. Used to chaos on ships
Weaknesses: Can’t run 10 feet without collapsing. One punch = broken ribs
3. Rotting Cowboy – “Strychnine Whiskey Edition”
Stats: 40 if he’s lucky. Teeth gone from whiskey + tobacco. Liver is 80% regret
Gear: Revolver with 3 bullets, knife, rope, and crippling dysentery
Strengths: Can shoot. Used to long miserable days and sudden violence
Weaknesses: Shaking hands, coughing blood, probably hallucinating already
4. English Knight – “Overrated + Back Problems”
Stats: 5’7, 220lbs but 80lbs of it is armor. Back is destroyed from carrying that shit
Gear: Sword, maybe plate armor if he can get it on in time
Strengths: Trained to kill. Strong as hell for 2 minutes
Weaknesses: Gets winded climbing stairs. Armor = oven. Falls down = can’t get up
Arena: Modern generic setting – “everything’s possible”
Parking lot, gas station, abandoned warehouse, patch of dirt. Concrete, cars, dumpsters. No horses, no ships, no castles.
How it goes down:
Minute 1: Knight puts on armor. Immediately sweating. Viking and Pirate circle each other. Cowboy checks his gun.
Minute 2: Pirate tries to shoot the knight. Misfire. Pirate collapses coughing. Viking charges with axe. Knight swings sword once, gets winded.
Minute 3: Cowboy shoots. Maybe hits someone. Maybe shoots a car alarm and everyone panics.
Minute 4: Everyone is gassed. Knight is on the ground trying to get up. Viking is bleeding. Pirate is vomiting. Cowboy is drinking whiskey to cope.
Winner: Viking 5/10 times
He’s the smallest but he’s the most used to being miserable and fighting anyway. No armor to slow him down, no guns to misfire, just pure “I’m gonna die anyway so let’s go” energy.
Runner up: Cowboy 3/10
If he lands a shot early. If not, the shaking and dysentery take him out.
Knight 1.5/10: Only if he catches someone in the first 30 seconds before his back gives out.
Pirate 0.5/10: Scurvy is a hell of a debuff.
Final verdict:
They all die within a week from infection anyway. But the Viking is the last one standing in the parking lot, sitting on a curb, eating a gas station hot dog and wondering why everything sucks.
Cutting the Hollywood crap really just means everyone loses
Completely historically accurate, my own scandinavian genetics are the product of *modern* (eeww, evil word) reformation, high protein diet, general sanitization and selective breeding.
Also fuck plato, and this site. The soul is part of the body and there is no heaven or hell or reincarnation. The Jews were right.
Brett Stevens will enjoy from now on an a bot-infested wasteland wallowing in everlasting obscurity.
oh meowz dont go we cant afford to lose a heavy hitter like you
