    I read Farenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury a while back, the classic dystopic novel often mentioned in the same breath as 1984 and Brave New World, for its depiction of a society entrenched in censorship, fear and conformity. The story follows Guy Montag, a fireman whose occupation is to burn books as...

    The silliest poll yet: your impending doom.

    I choose The Assassin. Better watch out for that awful chorus.

    Best hyperbolic phrase ever.

    Last week, I investigated a somewhat notorious splatter film that was met with a muted, hushing reaction. Kichiku Dai Enkai, translated as Banquet of the Beasts, was a student project made in 1997 in a span of two years by Kazuyoshi Kumakiri, who enlisted the help of his fellow students and...

    I think popularise would be the correct term (Pantera also popularised being a moron, but that's another story), although the more groove oriented speed metal was originally pioneered by Exhorder. While we're on this particular subject, there was one meeting between Dimebag Darrell and James...

    Death Metal?

    Don't get me wrong, Heartwork is enjoyable and is certainly better than most (if not, all) melo-death nonsense, but it just isn't Carcass. Symphonies of Sickness, now that's the Carcass I know and love. Perhaps it is only because I am an elitist curmudgeon, that I would say something like that...

    Death Metal?

    When Amott mentions "old stuff", I hope he's referring to the pre-Heartwork material. That's akin to trading AIDS for HIV. Oh, and The Haunted continued on the Slaughter of the Soul sound, so that's pretty much a dead end. Some more videos: Dismember - Soon to be Dead Entombed - Stranger...

    That's what happens when you give children access to teh intrawebs. After all, the author of that video had set out to intentionally irk Pantera fans by making a video celebrating Dimebag's death. Of course, Pantera fans being well...Pantera fans, responded in their typical manner. Analcarbomb...

    NOW WATCHING

    In the past month, it has been my pleasure to view Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Kairo (translates to Pulse, although sometimes known as The Circuit), a psychological chiller belonging to the new wave of Asian horror that was birthed by the infamous Ring. The genre enjoyed its fifteen minutes of freshness...

    NOW READING

    Last week, I read The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. For those of you who are not familiar with the story, Werther is a youthful German gentleman at the dawn of his civil service career. Unlike his contemporaries, Werther is awkward, socially clumsy, and extremely...

    Best video ever.

    Death Metal?

    Don't forget the video for Kingdom Gone, taken from their fantastic debut album, The Red in the Sky is Ours. Another great group in their vein is Eucharist, who oddly enough, featured Daniel Erlandsson on drums, the younger brother of Adrian Erlandsson, who was At the Gates' drummmer.

    Death Metal?

    Anyways, it's time to mention the usual Stockholm death metal groups. For those unfamiliar, the scene got it's kick start with Entombed's 1990 debut album, Left Hand Path, embracing the trademark "chainsaw guitar" sound that's associated with Sunlight Studios and producer Thomas Skogsberg. After...
