I am going to make an effort to establish a reasonable amount of posts on a weekly basis. Maybe even categorize posts by the particular content it covers. I have a lot of ideas flowing in my mind, just need to figure out how/when is the best occasion. Not to mention whatever the demographic wants. Not to say I am doing this for anyone other than myself, it is still nice to know that somebody reading what I have to say.
I have a 2 whole books of art, but I have no scanner, so all I have is shitty shots taking with a phone. I would like to add more art to the design of this page.
The content of the site will be less on the philosophical side, and more on the entertainment scale, movies, music and gaming. As much as I like to think aloud the thoughts that I have in my head, I hardly find it possible for the average person to interpret what I am trying to express. If I am wrong about that, let me know, and I’ll write all kinds of random philosophical shit. Ok my update rampage is coming to an end. Until next time, remember to always wash your hands before handling inanimate objects.

For better or worse there is an undeniable quality to Ttripykon’s music that revolves around the variety of instrumentation, the several changes in vocals. I find the songs on this album a lot more aggressive than say Melana Chasmata, that is not to say that the similarities between albums is undeniable, I just think it’s a small observation. They use their mode of doom and metal to chug along, devastation in its path. Ok so I am not entirely thrilled about this release, it does not have the hold over me as Melana Chasmata, but it sure as hell is one solid piece of music.
There are moments that I would call an interlude that occasionally show up. And then there are some songs that deceive you into thinking you are going to be listening to a softer side of this band, which if you hadn’t yet guessed there is no soft side. They are angry and deliver the goods with every release. Finding out about this band recently, has made me a believer. I fail at a conclusion, just get the damn cd!
This needs revising!
I beat Dark Souls, last saturday. I defeated the mighty lord gwyn and his bitch ass slut bag gwyneth. The victory was bittersweet. I guess at the end of the game you make a decision to become lord over all the land, or you click the bonfire and start the game over as an undead. I without thinking choose to click the bonfire so now I am playing the game over from beginning to end, and it’s just as much fun as it was the first time through. Plus all of my stats/level, equipment everything remains the same. As if it couldn’t be any more difficult I think they might have heightened the difficulty level, or maybe just boost the stats of the ai.

Made a couple changes to the page, was a little disappointed with the end result, I found out it is really hard to making a transparent image work on blogger. I really don’t have an over lot to say, I fucked up another job opportunity, but on all honesty I felt it was justified I quit, for the first time in a long time. Absolutely no training, only time the supervisor talks to you, is when you fuck something up. I’ll get a job soon enough, one that will be a lot more accommodating and a overall good place to work. Rent is coming up, and I am dead broke. For the first time in my life, I am not worried about anything.
Anyway I hope to eliminate personal ramblings and start posting more music reviews, even though I am beginning to see a noticeable redundancy.

Artist: Vader
Record: Tibi Et Igni
Label: Nuclear Blast
Wiki: may the force be with you
In high school a friend of mine highly recommended to me Vader and Slayer, and the time neither impressed me. My young adolescent mind was so consumed with the shocking and appalling, and low guttural vocals were an absolute must. Lets pull the tape towards the present and now, Vader and Slayer (well until jeff hanneman died) are one of my favorite metal bands.
It’s with great honor to finally be able to hear Vader’s newest release titled “Tibi Et Igni”, the death metal powerhouse who show no kind of slowing down. This release has a lot of variety in its play style that doesn’t necessarily draw from pure death metal sound, but also incorporates some symphonic (very minimal), and musical passages that just remind you of a traditional heavy metal release.
Melodic sound structure can be heard throughout, and leaving you entertained from start to finish. They have also cooperated with some female vocals that are on this release, but adds yet more diversity. The vocals are some of the best, as far as death metal is concerned, as they are easy to understand and they keep a consistent angrily driven force on the surface of the instrumentation.
With the addition of bonus tracks it does become a bit lackluster, but it’s more of a quarrel with the attention span of myself. Because from start to finish this album is heavy metal laden death metal release which brings a breathe of fresh air to the genre, it has popularized. Least favorite track, “Przeklety Na Wieki (Cursed Eternally), which I guess you could call a ballad but it just feels way out of place for this record, but it being a bonus track no harm done. They mighty vader has put out a great contender for the 2014 metal releases.
Artist: Incantation
Record: Dirges
Label: Listenable

Wiki: does kyle have a moustache?
I feel like I was just beginning to peel the layers from Incantation’s Vanquish in Vengeance. Their sound is definitely solidified, you know when you are hearing Incantation, their sounds is variably identified within death and doom. They take the whole “I am evil, spooky” theme a little far, but for the most part it’s some good fiction to read. Their newest release Dirges Of Elysium, caught me off guard, as I said before I was still giving Vanquish in Vengeance a healthy amount of listens. This new album has some real hook, line and sinker moments, but it does become a tad bit on the boring side, after a while. A complaint I guess I have with all of their albums.

| after life + lament for the dead |
What makes Incantation enjoyable, is that they encompass the ability to capture atmosphere. The artwork is great, the whole package is very well done. This has all the signs of a great release, but it does fall on the boring side.
There is absolutely no way in hell I could review each album, but it does fall on the same kind of sound. Nothing wrong there, because it works. But its just not as distinctive as with other bands like Deeds of Flesh.

| this game is boring as fuck, and I cannot figure out why. |
I watch youtube videos of Grand Theft Auto V, I hyperly determine myself to buy an xbox and get this game immediately. It is the most beautiful and amazing thing I have witnessed in the realm of next generation gaming, something like this rarely piques my interest, and the fact it is getting me excited, is kind of a nice distraction to have. So I shell out the cash, spend the $60, spend an additional $150 on a 250gb xbox 360. This is it! the work of my labor has finally offered opportunity to spoil myself, with some some amazing and legendary as GTA V. Let me just say, that after acquiring this game and getting the excitement built up, I felt like a hard erect penis that couldn’t ejaculate. It was like the most disappointing anti-climax. The game was absolute shit. It became boring as fuck.

| no stock market bullshit, just hack and slash fun |
I stopped playing it after getting Trevor and doing a couple more missions, and just found myself less and less interested. So I pick up Diablo 3 and that game conquered the system and my time. Hell made me forget all about GTA V. I was having a lot more fun playing D3, and I never really played GTA V again. D3 though did leave me a little in the dark, I would rather be playing it on PC. In this time, my xbox gaming was left at a standstill, my interest was declining.
Fast Forward to May, and what is this free game with gold? Dark Souls? hrm never heard of it. Wasn’t too thrilled but I like the idea of an action rpg, so I give it a go. The game literally crushed me, it made me its bitch. But like the good little whore that I am, I came back again and again, like a bruised and battered prostitute. Yes Dark Souls made me its bitch. The more I play the more competent I become, but then the game just literally wrecks you, but what is so beautiful about this game is that it keeps you lured in. It is absolutely one of the most rewarding and challenging games in this genre that I think I have ever played. The world is vast and beautifully laid out, and its all tied together, you find a key you open up a path that was previously non-enter able. Its difficulty takes me back to the days of 8-bit and 16-bit gaming, where they just mercilessly make you there bitch, and have no remorse. It brought back to me the true spirit of gaming, which I find to be lost in the current generation of games. If this is the future, I am actually kind of excited to see what is next in store.

| this is your destiny |
I have played Dark Souls religiously, ever since I got it free on live. I have put something like a 100 hours in, and I can say that a large chunck of the time, was repeated errors and just death after death. But holy shit, it has the ability to grip you in, and you absolutely don’t want to stop, you want to keep trying and trying. You feel more and more confident with each death, with each lesson learned. And then the spoils of your labor make it all worth it.
Highly challenging, highly addictive… this game gives me a huge boner, and for good reason.
Artist: Triptykon
Album: Melana Chasmata
Label: Prowling Death, Century Media

Wiki: Triptych
Something has to be said before I get into this, and that is, that I have no familiarity with Hellhammer and haven’t given much adherence to Celtic Frost. I can appreciate these bands for the footwork they accomplished in progressing the state of extreme metal music, it’s undeniable their contribution. With that being said, be it immaturity or ignorance, I never had much interest in their music.

| Triptykon’s, 2014 – Melana Chasmata |
Let’s fast forward to current time. The interest of Giger and Metal music brought me to the music of Triptykon, a conglomeration of the unorganized chaos (Hellhammer), the focused intricacy of organized instrumentation (Celtic Frost)… forces working to contradict the purpose are usually the associations of death metal. Melana Chasmata has rightfully been described with the obvious avant garde, depressive tone. The vocals are gruff, angry and decipherable, well enunciated, passages of something intrinsic and esoteric, this music will massage the listeners imagination, and what not a better visual than the work of h.r. giger, if there was ever perfect visuals to accompany music it would be the abstract and visceral imagery giger conjures.
This is one of the most rewarding discovery of the 2014 calendar. My maybe over enthusiasm, is a bit redundant and exaggerated, so I will be drawing this to a close. Without a doubt best album of 2014 thus far.

One of the most rewarding benefits of metal is the discovery of a band that absolutely floors you into a frenzy of excitement as a result of their sound. This was exactly the emotion I felt after listening to Abysmal Dawn’s 2008 “Programmed to Consume”. A melodic and technical death metal album that delivers all departments of aural delight. Guitar solos with direction and melody that entertains the ears, leads and drumming all here as well. The vocals are never too difficult to understand, I appreciate when a death metal band actually makes an effort to actually enunciate the lyrics than just try to sound as deeply guttural and ignore the fact that the words they are attempting to belt out just sound like undecipherable burping. That is not to say I don’t enjoy a brutal death metal release, but it’s more of a novelty to me now a days.
I wish I could dig deeper into what exactly they are doing with their instruments that I enjoy so much, but I am very much musically inclined. All in all a great fucking album, and I highly recommend it.
Artist: Deeds of Flesh
Album: Portals to Canaan
Label: Unique Leader
Year: 2013
Wiki: Indeed
My greatest memory with Deeds of Flesh began with their 1998 release, “Inbreeding the Anthropophagi”, I remember them always delivering the goods in the brutal department, rather heavily. I have admit a lack of interest after that release, it all seemed mundane to me, repetition had definitely played its course. And I know I will receive a handful of insults for saying that, as there are a large group of people who swear on the holy Kwanzaa flying book of jihad that Mark of the Legion and Crown of Souls is their greatest contribution, but I neglect. Lets fast forward to 2008, and Deeds of Flesh release “Of whats to come…”, what can only be described as a far more technical approach, and this has only piqued my interest for the band.
So it’s with little surprise that I was even more excited for their latest release “Portals To Canaan”, a slab of sci-fi death metal. I like the guitars in this, I like the drumming in this, I like the samples that play throughout. That’s exactly why I call it sci-fi death metal, because it’s literally like something out of this world, and they definitely capture that vibe perfectly. I could bore you with a enormous amount of adjectives to express my like of this band and this release, but it will become redundant, and I want to make this interesting, and not boring.

Wiki: because wikipedia is accurate and right
There are death metal bands that are unique to a specific sound, and they are uncompromising by the sway of change and influence. They are in and of themselves a unique product that stands individually. One of those bands is Incantation, their blend of slow doom and melodic death metal, is compared by any other death metal band in my opinion they offer a very raw and unique sound. And probably their greatest release being “Diabolical Conquest”, is what I will be talking about in this post.
This album has so many memorable moments in its 28 minute time span. From the first track to the end of the cd, you will be experiencing an earful of something that can only be described as disgustingly beautiful. The moments of dark doom parts, and then lead into a barrage of blasts and guitar churning, all melting together in a great mix. I can’t understand a damn word he is saying, and I don’t necessarily care to. Its funny when anyone criticizes death metal as a gimmick, or they like the music but absolutely detest the vocals. And I can only say that all the pop shit on the radio and other bands, it takes as much reading the inlay with the lyrics, to really get to know what they are talking about. If I spend enough time reading the lyrics, I will be able to follow along without flaw. And why the fuck would anyone call death metal a gimmick? to me that means a scheme to make money or exploit something. Death metal is by far the worst possible career choice if you’re trying to make money. These guys who play this music, love it, breathe it. It is not something they just put out there to make a buck. I am sure they all have full time jobs, and its a huge debt to them to play this kind of music. Well I went off on a tangent, but I hope you all enjoyed.
*Oh and the artwork on this album is incredible
Artist: Beyond Creation
Record: the Aura
Label: Season of Mist
Year: 2011
Wiki: no?
Canada has some of the most unique and memorable death metal bands. The obvious Gorguts and Cryptopsy mentions, but we also have Neuaraxis and now Beyond Creation. The Aura is a definite traditional blend of progressive and technical, all the while abiding in the role as a death metal band. What makes the sound unique is there ability to create atmosphere in each song, think symbolic era Death. It would be impossible to talk about this band or album, without giving proper mention and recognition to the bass which carries throughout all of the songs, and is definitely a prominent figure in the overall sound.
Some of the biggest criticism’s I have heard regarding this album is that it is just a bunch of guitar wankery, I would agree if you’re talking about Necrophagist. But this album is all but minimal on the wankery scale, they keep everything contained in a well directed onslaught of sound. Not to mention every song it seems has a key element in developing atmosphere and is very memorable.
I admit I failed to give this album proper recognition when I first heard it, but after listening to it a couple dozen times, it has become of my favorite death metal releases. If I can make comparisons to Death, than it’s absolutely remarkable feat. I look forward to hearing more from this band in the future.
the more I acquire, the more I do not necessarily want. In fact I would say acquiring all of these things that I was too much of a low life to get on my own, is making me realize how trivial material things are. And am now realizing my isolation is unsatisfying, and I desire the company of others to achieve happiness.
abandoning self from a world which demands company, calling this individuality
I am completely out of touch with what would benefit my libido and wallet in this life, I would rather die with my soul, even if a furnace is my destination. At least I was honest with myself
conspiring….
life of bad decisions
retributive karma taking place
all the gifts recieved
taken advantage
now its time to accept your neglect
be the person of negligence
disregard conscience, admonish heart… now enter into a world of success. When life is all you have, the hereafter is neglected from thought
