Okay.

 

I said what I said.  If I owe you, message me.

 

To naysayers, I'm sorry the world, including me has wronged you for you to feel such hate in your heart.

 

Out. 

I was one of the people who I never got my money back I sent as a gift. I have reached out to you through DM, if I get it back I would be stoked. 

I have all the albums from this band and since their so called "progression" or as I would say "regression" they have been extremely boring and surprised anyone still enjoys this.

Of course, there are always things nobody knows that’s going on in someone’s head.

From what I have been told. I do not believe he was ever actively looking to have his wife murdered. But in the end he did pay a uncover officer money thinking he was a hit man and that is inexcusable.

 

Also he could be a complete sociopath and everything I’ve been told is a lie 🤷🏼‍♂️

My only thought is that there is a very in-depth interview he gave to AP if i can remember correctly that is extremely lengthy and I wouldn't call suggestion entrapment. He gives extensive detail on the meeting, how it came to that, and the whole encounter with the undercover cop trying to get him to be specific instead of vague about what "taking care of her" meant. I was able to find it below, I think this is the only interview he ever gave about this.

On what eventually led him to hiring a hitman:

This guy at my gym, my workout partner, I just expressed to him how sad I was. I asked the guy I had been buying steroids from, the steroid dealer, if we could meet. I’m talking to him in the parking lot one afternoon and I go, “Hey, how’s it going?” He goes, “Pretty good, unless you maybe need me to kill somebody for you.” Like that, right off the bat.

I’m kind of like, “Whoa, what are you talking about?” He goes, “Well I’ve heard you’ve been pretty frustrated with your wife…” He just kind of had—I mean, he’s a steroid dealer. He has a sketchy background, you know what I mean? So I’m thinking, “Geez, where’s this guy going with this?” He starts asking me these seemingly rhetorical questions. “Have you tried working things out with your lawyer?” I said yeah, but it was going to be a couple of months before I saw the judge. “Have you tried taking them to a social worker? Like a counselor?” I said yes and the social worker had met with the kids.

He goes, “Well, you know your other option is I can hook you up with somebody that could do this.” And he goes, “Can you think of a better option?” He’s asking it like it’s a rhetorical question. I remember thinking at the time, “This doesn’t feel right. This doesn’t feel like my best option.” But my thinking at that time… As much as I wished there was a better option, this is my best option. Obviously, right now, I can think of a dozen things and I understand the legal system much better. Legally speaking, there are emergency type things where you can get a judge to see you earlier, which I didn’t know. There are dozens of things I can think of now. But I just started to develop this mindset of, “Alright… I guess this seems like the path I’m going to have to go down.”

On meeting with the hitman, Red, and his arrest:

I was like, “Man, I just want her gone.” I wanted to make the hurt stop. That’s what I was focused on. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it’s like a big bear defending its cubs. Whatever I had to do, you know what I mean? It’s not in my nature to be growly and gnashing my teeth. I’m a pretty calm guy. I’m kind of passively saying, “I want her gone.” It’s just too much for me to handle. I don’t know how to handle any of it.

He’s pushing. “I want you to specifically say exactly what you want.” I’m thinking, “Is this dude stupid?” Obviously, I’m the one who is stupid. But in my mind, at the time, I’m thinking, “Man, I’m making it pretty clear here.” He says, “Just to be clear: You want your wife dead?” So right before I leave, I walk over to him and I say, “Yeah, just so you understand.” I don’t know why I didn’t realize I was the stupid one. There I was thinking he was the stupid one. But I’m really the stupidest dude in the world. That’s when I said, “Yes, to answer your question specifically, that’s what I want.” He’s got that recorded.

He asks me if I brought the stuff he asked me to bring. I said yes and that it was in the car. We go to the car, I hand him the envelope with everything in it through the window, I kick my car into reverse, look over my shoulder to back up, turn around and kick the car into drive and as soon as I turned my head back around, there was a gun at my head.

It was a female officer. “Freeze!” I put the car in park and put my hands up. “Freeze! Get out of the car! Show me your hands!” I’m like, “I have my hands up. How do I get out of the car?” None of it seemed real. I don’t know who opened the door. I guess she must’ve. All I know is I was facedown on the concrete and all of these people were looking, wondering what the hell was going on. It was just like in the movies where five cop cars all pull up at the exact same time. You hear one split-second siren and then they all pull up to block a car from multiple angles. No exaggeration, there were somewhere between 10 and 15 [police officers], some undercover, some in uniforms. I’m thinking, “This is an absurd amount of officers. I’m not some super-well-known criminal.”

So, they stuff me in the back of the cop car and I’m going down to the station. All I can think of at the time, because my mind is just so… I’m like, “Hey, how long is it until we get to the station?” They’re like, “I don’t know, maybe 20 minutes.” I’m 6’3”. I don’t fit in the little grooves where your head is supposed to go. My knees are hitting, my shoulders… I’m thinking, “Man, 20 minutes is a long time to be sitting like this.” That’s how insane my mind was.

I'm with you.

 

I checked out the CD from the library and if I liked it, was gonna order it....

 

But I'm just going to return it to the library and call it a day.

Wait what?! You checked a cd out of the library? Went home and listened to it then have to drive it back and return it? I did not know this was a thing, and I want to know what city you live in where the local library is keeping up with its cd collection of obscure heavy rock. I’m intrigued what era of time you are from and how the past is currently doing? The future says hello. Also I’m completely just messing around.

Totally agree minus anti mother. But fuck if wrongdoers and polar similar aren’t monsters... buuuuuuut... the riffs were what made those albums. Unsure if the new guy is on the same level, but I’m basing that on nothing. Will wait and see.

you are forgetting meridonial! Anti-Mother was before Meridonial. The order of release was Meridonial, Wrongdoers, Polar Similar. 

the best albums they have written to me have been their last 3 albums. Im in on this 100%

There is one thing that makes this song unlistenable for me and thats that part of the music reminds me of a slowed version of Alive by P.O.D........

 

 

then listen to the TORCHE SONG.

 

 

No one agrees with this?

Not speaking on the music in any way. The cover art is absolutely terrible. Almost so bad it makes me not want to order.

Gave it a go but no joy I’m afraid. Hopefully got a deal sorted for controller/mirrors so I’d be happy with that. Cheers for the info though.

awesome good luck! I love the mirrors/controller split. Mirrors was a completely underrated album. One thing that has always annoyed me with the band is the fans never gave Carl Schubac the respect he deserved for the vocals for the 3 albums he did. I think those albums are great but people when people always saying the original vocalist was better, I think is just rude. I could care less about the original vocalist and am not interested in the new album since Carl is no longer in the band.  

Email the guitar player! That is how I got my box set and Mirrors LP set. I just randomly emailed him and he said they had some that they had saved. This was 2 years ago, but it's worth a try. 

yeah ill grab them also i enjoy them a lot actually. I picked up the other release you did for them when it came out. Any chance of the new album being pressed? 

I have the two split ones 

same if someone wants to trade or sell i would love one!

I'd try it but I'm bored as fuck with Dunk-core.

“Dunk-core” is harsh haha.  But I totally get it.  I definitely don’t echo that sentiment, but this is the first album that has me feeling a bit burned out.  And I’ll still be excited to see them live again, but this album is just waaaay too much Caspian worship without putting their own stamp on it.

 

Ok I’m done highjacking the thread with negativity.  Just wanted to see if I was the only one feeling this way about this album.

Just one more then we can be done. Dunk Records to me is the Rise Records of Post-Rock. They are forever putting out the same stuff over and over.

This is still worse.

yes you are right, I am honestly surprised how bad this is. I can't believe no one at any point said "this sounds horrible."

I started to listen to this on my phone earlier and was like, "This sounds like butt, let me wait until I get to some decent speakers." So I got to something better, and it still sounds soooooo fucking bad. Why do the drums sound so...splashy? that's not the right word. It's almost like there is a layer of static over them. I don't think I've ever hated production on an album as much as I hate what I've heard on these tracks.

You should go listen to "A City By The Light Divided" by Thursday. Absolutely unlistenable album because of the production on it.

Julie Christmas who? This shit is amazing

Looks like we’re getting a new Cult of Luna single on Monday, if I had to wager a guess.

this deserves its own thread if it's the case, please don't bury this in this thread.

its okay, not going to jump on a pre order because I have found them pretty generic.

I think he's speaking of White Bat which will be supported and funded by Spinefarm Records. I was referring to their last record Few that they crowdfunded.

 

Hes speaking of few, and saying that they stopped the color pressing they sold. I am talking about few and not mentioning the new one.
