So it's kinda like one of those surprise mystery reviews? Cause it sounds like we open up a package full of albums to review and then they get published at some certain date. That sounds like a more broad and simple version of Secret Satan. Can you elaborate more on how this works? I'm not sure how it exactly works.

naww u guyz

Feel free to use your moddly powers to fix my user name btw BH. Hate it lol.

If you send Hellblazer a PM he will change it. That's how I went from Sweatleaf95 to Sweetie.

I understand that Deathcrush isn't for everyone, but that generalization is kinda absurd. I mean, I'm a 17-year-old male metalhead who actually enjoys most of Mayhem's albums, so the fact that people still have these stupid stereotypes is just discouraging.

Uh, I always thought it was definitive, nice to know. I've never been the most fervent Dark Angel fan and, since some time ago, I've been thinking of switching to something more concise (and perhaps, more recognizable). But in the meantime, TBoS still holds well as my favourite song by them, so there's no hurry I guess...


I mean, doesn't the "Euronymous barely knew how to plug his guitar into an amp" also qualify as a stereotype?

(coming from a non-musician and non-blackster, so I may be wrong and he was actually this bad?)

I wouldn't consider Euronymous's lack of knowledge of amps as much of a stereotype, just more of a trivial fact.

Felt. I changed mine because A) having a number in your name is super uncool, and B) Sabbath song aside, it sorta makes me look like a pothead (not that there's anything WRONG with that, just isn't me). So I just went with Sweetie. Still close enough that everyone knows it's still me, and that's just sorta the nickname I've grown into for these parts. It's kinda funny.

I guess that's the other issue, if I was going to put in the effort to change it I'd change it something entirely different and a lot more "me" (This name was a spur of the moment play off a friend's name he used when playing Command and Conquer, so really isn't mine at all), but it'd also make me entirely unrecognisable to anyone who knows me haha.

Always could've just put in your sig something like, "I'm not a pothead, I'm just a Sabbath fan."

Jokes aside, I think on a metal site such as this one, almost literally 100% of the user base would associate that screen name with being a fan of Sabbath and not assuming one way or the other if you like pot.

It's like if someone made their screen name "Master of Puppets" they wouldn't have to worry about people here thinking he's into ventriloquism, you know?

Shit! It looks like that P-Metal review you've been clamouring for, Metantoine, might have to wait, along with all the rest, as just had metal-borne surgery yesterday on my left wrist (big consolation!) and the only thing I'm in mood for, these days. is watching the remainder of my Chef GR Kitchen Nightmares, in addition to "The Boys" (featuring likes of Homelander, A-Train, Starlight and all them fruity, over-the-top "Soops"...), whilst puffing innumerable (pre-rolled) Js.

Not only is it a pain to type with one hand - you should see the crazy finger acrobatics I'm pulling off - but I feel drained, creativity-wyze; however, have been keeping busy here at MA submitted (and getting approved) more band submits than usual.

Chairs frewres!

Demon Fang's Firewind review series has been pretty nifty to see. I may have run through these albums proper myself sometime.

Yo, thank you for the comment, Twisted Psychology!

So I've been going through the two Mefitis reviews for Offscourings and while they're both good reads, there's one statement made by Robotiq that I don't quite get.

I just edited it and removed it.
I know what I mean to say there, but the reader doesn't. The means it is probably too complex to get across in a single line - so it is probably better left out. ('Kill your darlings' and all that.)

Are you going to review "Offscourings" Colin? That album needs a few more reviews I think, given how good it is.

Yeah, I'm working on a review and although I've earlier struggled to get my points across, I've managed to make some decent progress with it today. I think I find it harder to write for this one because the influences aren't quite as obvious, even though this certainly sounds like the work of the same band.

Exactly, you would not know you are getting and have to deal with it. In terms of the Secret Satan you are told which band that is, but in this case you would have nothing at all. Maybe one, maybe two .. or even three releases, it certainly depends on the amount of interest. Towards the end of the review challenge all post the reviews at the proper release entry.

Man for such a confusingly worded idea it's also rather boring. About as german an idea as possible!

Reign in Blood slowly creeping up on Penis Metal. Can I kindly suggest to some new reviewers to give that one a write up, please and thanks.

Now we're talking about real priorities.

By the way, I fully realized just now that Hades Archer aren't active anymore. We're gonna keep it on top of the leaderboard, they deserve it!

I remember when one of the band members came on here and bitched about that joke. Funny to see it all taken so seriously.

The one from the Penis Metal album? And did you save a copy of that?

Yep. And no, it's just buried somewhere way back in this thread.

Well do you remember what thread it was from? Because I plan on digging it up.

Not sure about a forum post, but a dude allegedly from the band actually flagged a report on the artist page. https://www.metal-archives.com/report/view/id/507532

That might have actually been it, yeah.

This man apparently doesn't like his hilariously-titled EP gaining huge attention on this site.



Seriously? If my EP was getting lots of attention on MA, I'd be pretty happy.

I mean yeah, you'd have to be pretty fucking dense and/or edgy to name your release Penis Metal and not expect people to make jokes or heckle you. I always had the idea that if Hades Archer ever played in the States that I'd gather a couple of my concert buds and start group chanting "PEE-NIS ME-TAL!" during the show just to see how the band would react.

Just gimme the time and place!

I swear I'd have never expected somebody to tackle Agoraphobic Nosebleed in such a detailed way, huge kudos to Hellbent. Altered States of America is a puzzling album, but based on his review I'm convinced he's most likely the only one who got it.

Band's split up, unfortunately. A lost opportunity.

The review was good, and I am pumped to see Daniel take on all of the Iron Maiden albums!

I love that there's a brain out there which would make something called Penis Metal and not be able to remotely comprehend that it could be funny.

Still Not Black Enough needed some love again, but Sweetie, you missed talking about "One Tribe"! That's the best thing on it, and it's a bonus track! I still don't know what Blackie was thinking by not putting that on the original album.

Ah, yeah, I didn't go off of the version with that one. SNBE is confusing because there are multiple versions with different tracks included in the actual release and sometimes in different orders. Glad you like that one, though.

I'm pretty sure Limp Bizkit and BVB bashing is, like, a decade too late, though...
