IMO, the perfect blending of rock and metal stylings in one song.

Got the Big Dirty CD, the wrapper has this awesome sticker, it pained me to actually remove the wrapper

That sticker kicks ass. As does the photo. And I don't even like ETID. But that rawks.

Keep the sticker.

Came up on shuffle, and warranted a temporary detour for the rest of the rekkid:

Just finished watching/listening to this.



And it is still pretty awesome, mainly the actual live footage.

Guy Picciotto is like the gold standard of onstage energy and presence. Dude is a fucking tireless beast.

Turkish Disco has such a cool bassline. I used it for a music bed on a uni radio show a while ago and everyone loved it and demanded to know what it was Snare drum on that track kicks like a motherfucker as well

Earlier today through my new stereo:

I am so appreciative to have a badass stereo system in my Rape Dungeon.
And since my parents are gone for a week I can blast my shit all day.

My mom has my dad's BADASS setup from the 70's. I told her that is the one thing I want to inherit.

HOUSE PARTY

Sort of.
I just have like, 7 or 8 friends over and we get fucked up and smoke weed and blast music.

This.
I highly approve of this purchase, Todge!



Snax-O, you bastard.


I wish I lived in Buffalo just so that my ETID love would be more justified.
Are there a lot of bands that play in that vein in the area?

Ever since this little gem came on Saturday night it has been with me.

And here's a POWER SONG I heard on the way home from the music store today.

I spent far too much.

It feels a lot like visiting an old friend I haven't kicked it with in awhile.
I forgot how vicious this shit is.

There was a big hardcore scene in Buffalo when I was in high school. Not so much these days I don't think. It's just really not my thing; I don't hate it and go "man, this fukkin' blows" but the genre doesn't move me at all, and I've at least given the big deal bands a listen. Something in the way both the rage and the heaviness is delivered I just don't connect with. On the other end of the heavy spectrum, I don't particularly care for power metal either. Or really techy stuff. The latter two are why I think the Spiral Architect record is one of the worst things I ever paid money for.

My heavy music preferences tend toward Big Dumb Riff-oriented stuff- thrash/death/doom- with an occasional side of experimentation with electronic twiddlybits and industrialisms.

This, on the other hand, I can totally get behind. Both this and Covenant kick serious ass.

Covenant's production is really something. Spacious, natural drums. Guitars might be a bit too smooth though. You can tell it was recorded in a nice studio by someone who was not generally involved with death metal...
