WITTR's 'Turning Ever Towards The Sun - Live At Neudegg Alm' double LP is so damn good.

I fucking LOVE Alcest. "Shelter" is my favorite album, that thing is fucking sick. It's less black metal and more shoegaze, but I fucking love that thing.
Their older records are great too, but the pop melodies mixed with the distortion and shoegaze guitar work on "Shelter" just blow me away.
Definitely go see them. ALWAYS go see music.

I deleted Satan's post. I guess my attempt to get this shit back on track and not lock it up was completely futile.

There have been plenty of people suggesting they believe the word is completely okay to use.
 
Three years ago isn't that long ago. It's not like he's 18 at present and was just a kid at the time. He wrote those tweets as an adult, and if an adult is thoughtless enough to think that kind of attitude is okay then he fully deserves any backlash that comes along with it.
 
If the guy truly wants to redeem himself maybe he should undertake some accountability processes and then spend some time away from the band to volunteer at a homeless LGBT youth shelter or something along those lines.

It's not really about me being offended or hurt, it's about how stunned I am that people still believe the freedom to use this word flippantly for shitty internet jokes is more important than having just a tiny little bit of respect for fellow humans.
 
The fact is that hundreds of thousands of people have suffered extreme intimidation and violence by people who love to use this word. Every night people are followed home from bars by groups of men screaming this word. Countless members of our communities end up in hospitals with cracked skulls and mental scars that never fade, and the perpetrators of these violent acts are shouting this word as they lay their boot in. Why would any reasonable person just not use such a pointless, useless word that causes so much hurt in the world? Is it really that much to expect?

How immature do you have to be to think calling people faggots is funny? I would honestly like to hear your reasoning behind those tweets being funny. I'm not even trying to go crazy PC police here...but this is pretty elementary stuff...but I guess it's pretty pointless to be arguing about this with someone who joked that he would be raping people at the Dallas date of the As Cities Burn tour.

So much of what you just said is incredibly wrong.People definitely still use faggot as a term to refer to gay people, first of all.
Secondly, it's not the "classical definition," it's an appropriation of a word with a very different meaning that was twisted into an insult.
People would certainly get offended if someone was going around calling people they thought were "uncool" niggers, and saying, "I wasn't saying it because they're black, they're just real jerks and I don't like them."
I get that the PC police are out in full force and people are getting sick of it, but c'mon. Most five year olds know better than to call someone a faggot.

Who gives a fuck? He obviously wasn't being directly talking about gay people with the use of that word. Nobody uses that word to actually refer to gay people. At least that's the case where I live/grew up. Gay people are cool. Faggots aren't gay people. That is the classical definition, yes, but noooobody uses it in that context any more, and if they do, they're stupid and lame.
Anyway, this is a pathetic excuse for news.

Cry me a fucking river.

Gifts For The Earth is taking me a while to get into. Not sure why.
Rest of the album is legit though. A lot of it feels like they've hit into the "modern black metal" thing with polished groups like Dimmu Borgir and Enthroned and stuff like that, from Europe, but then they go into their clean grooves and everything is perfect.
This album is way too short, though. It's over far too fast. They're just making me want more now. Grrrr!

Just started the album stream. For some reason, I'm finally really liking Brought To The Water. I think it just takes a few listens to finally "get" what the band is aiming for with certain passages and energy spectra. This is a great fucking song. I get it now, I even like some of the solo. I hated the solo before. Weird.
Can't wait to get to the rest of the album.
Edit: oh man, I was fully expecting to hate this album, but holy shit... this is fucking tremendous shit.
Baby Blue, FTW. Good lord, what a track. Luna, too. Baby Blue's first like 4-5 minutes are fucking legit, before they get to that chugging thrash groove. Not a big fan of this section, honestly, but whatever. I guess it'll be their "mosh groove".

PROTEIN POWDER, BRUH!

All I know is that those boob and ass threads make us look like a god damn bodybuilding forum or something.

Been listening to a lot of Sunbather lately. This record is so stupefyingly unreal.
The material translates so well to the live setting, I hope they keep most of it in their set. Although I was a little bummed they didn't have the piano part on sample for "The Pecan Tree" in the live versions I checked out.
But holy shit, "Sunbather" live is so punishing and amazing. There's a version where they add this chugging riff in the outro... Kerry takes a different picking technique attack and you can hear where they were going with this new material.

I like his lyrics. They're weird. And paint stories that feel strange.
Dream House will forever be the best lyrics though. And best song.

Fuck you all!! I just met John Baizley and Pete Adams!! Got my copy of Yellow and Green signed.

Their own label = want to make money = music for masses = it WAS a good band.
 
Good luck anyway.

That's the full artwork.
 
my b.

Is it me or is that artwork a bit on the rubbish side? I've enjoyed the previous artwork but something about this just doesn't seem quite right and I cant put my finger on it

Harder than getting 8,500+ posts?

Oh look!  A selfish 'fan' making shit predictions with no frame of reference.
 
I love Sunbather too, but to talk about how it 'changes EVERYTHING' while comparing it to DSOTM is the dumbest thing I've read in a long time.
