ZOMG NEW SLAYER. Listening to this and I am back in junior high
wearing all black and pretending I am better than everyone, when in
reality I am totally jealous of my friend’s Amiga and will punish his
level 26 mage with my sadistically nerdy dungeon-mastering ways. (Magic
missile this, you better-computer-having jerk.) Twenty-six years into
its career with Rick Rubin back at the helm, Slayer has lost no speed
and ferocity. The band’s penchant for silly-ass lyrics is ever present,
but Rubin’s stripped down, razor-sharp production makes up for it at
every step. With the postponement of next week’s show I am tempted to
storm into my room and rage with this album cranked to 11, except,
like, I’m an adult and stuff.

Way to shit on the strongest music scene in Halifax. I can not believe the coast printed this… If all you (Loukas Crowther) can do is make fun of people who enjoy a certain type of music. Calling us “sadistically nerdy dungeon-masters” and basically immature children by saying “except, like, I’m an adult and stuff” you should just not print anything at all. The metal scene in Halifax obviously doesn’t need the coasts support for anything! There are metal bands in HRM whom are over a decade old, they get no coverage what so ever, local festivals (ie THRASHFEST) get next to no coverage, the coverage they got was full of false information gathered from hearsay on internet forums even though they were sent an official press release. Loukas and the coast should officially apologize to the metal scene for this kind of stuff. If you want to cover something do it with integrity or don’t do it at all.
I am pretty sure I called myself all those things.
I call bullshit. If the metal scene doesn’t need the coast, why do people (like metalhead) continually bitch when the paper don’t cover enough metal?
Also, Loukas wrote a POSITIVE REVIEW. G-damn, I just don’t understand ya’ll sometimes!!!!
Fuck it. Go to the Judas Priest cover band show tonight at the Seahorse, by the way. They’re AMAZING.
