#The Black Dahlia Murder band

BLACK DAHLIA MURDER PATCH!!!!

Yes I know it's off center I am beating myself up about it LOL but like. I'm so proud

[athetos]

Decibel magazine posted their top 40 albums of the year already and I’m making my way through the ones I haven’t listened to yet, and honestly? Im enjoying all the ones I’ve checked out so far. I’ve been looking for more doom metal 😋 I really liked Ripped to Shreds, Vicious Blade, Hulder, and Mother of Graves.

the number 1 album by crypt sermon was fantastic and I completely see why someone might pick it as their fav, but was it better than the number 2 spot, blood incantation’s absolute elsewhere? No. You will never be absolute elsewhere. Gatecreeper got 7, which I’m satisfied with, and full of hell “coagulated bliss” at 21 is… I will tolerate it being that low, it’s a hard sell. But Chat Pile’s “cool world” at 27th spot is criminal! That should have been top 10, or top 5 preferably! They should be hung and quartered for that!

(Also new full of hell / Andrew Nolan collab dropped today and I can’t believe full of hell have managed to release TWO albums on my end of year fav list over the course of 7 months… the mammoth grinder and secret world EPs were so yummy too I have to listen to mammoth grinder’s past albums in full I don’t think I’ve ever listened to one from start to finish which is actually so evil of me)

[sarahsfixations]

Also, I feel like its good to note generally speaking what my music in the past has actually looked like, so lets start with metal

Then the other side is electronic which is not generally as rounded album wise, and I only recently shifted into the IDM direction. I put Noisecontrollers instead of Headhunterz as while I grew up on Headhunterz more recent it'd have been Noisecontrollers. Also the Aphex Twin here is not the one I think is the best but the one that best represents me here I think. Last album is some oldschool dubstep style album, City Limits Volume 1 by Silkie which is one of the few good oldschool dubstep albums I can think of.

And then I tried to get into a big of flashy energetic 'indie' rock. I was already into Muse and I sort of branched from there.

Then there's been some other miscellaneous albums but I hadn't really been able to branch out from there, most notably in the pop and hip hop direction. I tried to get into jazz but its hard.

So, I hope that gives some perspective on why I might feel 'proud' getting into other things because I'm pretty firmly entrenched in metal and electronic only as for some reason happiness is an insecurity and if it is it must have a desperation energy (like Muse).

EDIT: I added tags of some bands and styles in case I come across cool people into those.

Légende !!!!!

[maachine]

how do you feel about the black dahlia murder (melodic death metal band)

Never listened to them, so i can’t really give an opinion, Only death metal im familiar with/listen to on a daily basis is Death, Possessed, Entombed, Carcass & shit like that, never really been super into death metal besides from carcass I was and still am into them. Sorry i couldnt give an opinion ,! ,

[tinypandacakes]

Love love love Trapper Keeper! (i've only read it like 3 times lol)

Which heavy metal band do you envision being on König's shirt in Ch 13? I like to HC that he's a Rammstein fan 🤭

Thank you so much for the wonderful writing!

Thank you 💕💕 ok I have to be honest, I left it nondescript because I couldn’t decide if he was into a bit more old school metal like Death, Obituary, Pantera, Morbid Angel etc or like slightly newer (which fml is still like 25-30 yrs old now wtf 😭) like Mastodon, Black Dahlia Murder, Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, that type of thing

Also I don’t know who was touring when he would have gotten his shirt lmao ANYWAY I do think he’d be into Rammstein too though!

[welovemonstergirls]

My thoughs on the recent Skullgirls censorship

Okay. So. I’m not the kind of guy that’s gonna call anyone a pedophile or a neo nazi or a racist for raising a fuss at the devs cutting out what they did.

I am, however, the kind of guy that’s gonna call everyone that’s throwing a conniption fit over a few cosmetic changes that effect NOTHING in the grand scheme of the game a pathetic, whiny, entitled crybaby BITCH for being so outraged about absolute NON-ISSUES.

What are you losing from not being able to stare at Filia’s ass in that one cutscene anymore? What’s being lost because they removed some armbands from the Egrets? This doesn’t make SENSE. All they changed was minor cosmetic stuff!

Filia’s panty shots? Who cares?! They’re not cutting out any of the stuff that makes people like the game, she’s still baring her midriff and wearing a belt in place of a skirt, that hasn’t changed! The sexualized stuff is still there! So Cerebella was censored in a FEW story shots where she’s in a non-consentinal situation where she’s literally about to be murdered or eaten, she’s still flashing her underwear in her actual gameplay! Parasoul, Ms. Fortune, Valentine, Eliza and Black Dahlia are all RIGHT THERE! Your precious sexual content hasn’t gone ANYWHERE, so this entire complain is just WORTHLESS and PATHETIC. You can’t handle the game being two percent less horny so you need to get all up in arms and review bomb the game in an active effort to hurt it because of some minor changes?!

The Egrets armbands make perfect sense! Maybe when the game was initially pitched they were meant to be something more Nazi-esque, but that simply isn’t the case anymore! EVERY time we see the Egrets in the modern age, they are portrayed as GOOD GUYS. Parasoul is a righteous ruler that genuinely wants to do what’s best for her people, and the men she leads are the only people in power that are FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE. They don’t want to have their biggest force of GOOD associated with LITERAL NAZI SYMBOLISM. Why is that such a hard thing for people to grasp?! I keep saying people claim that the Egrets are supposed to be the bad guys. No the fuck they’re not, what are you even watching to think that?!

Big Band’s story mode, that I can kinda get, it was very important to his overall character, that is the one thing I won’t fault anyone for being upset over. At the same time though, I get why they did it. It’s a very topical issue that they don’t personally feel well equipped to handle, and it’s possibly a bit too real for their fun action fighting game where a cartoon character fights a ninja nurse. I don’t agree with this choice, but I can understand it.

 The concept art... I can also kiiiiind of get, I feel like if they’re gonna delete guest art they can at least replace it with new ones so that the fans are still getting SOMETHING out of it, but I can see what prompted the change. Like, them wanting to censor the fanservice on Filia and JUST Filia is not a big deal! If you don’t want to play the game with both hands, just pick Parasoul or Valentine ffs. And how often do you even go into the art gallery to look at images you can just as easily get online? This is another non-issue that doesn’ have anything to do with the game itself.

Finally, the Soviet Announcer voice pack. ...That voice pack was literally voiced by their fucking ABUSER. I can understand them wanting the voice of someone that hurt them OUT of the game they’re working on. Even if they got a different guy to voice it, it’s still a bit that was MADE by their abuser, Mike Z used it in his tutorials for Tager and Potemkin and it became a running gag. That voice pack is a literal reminder of someone who hurt them. So stop crying about “Muh soviet russia pack doh!” and accept the fact that they don’t want to hear his voice because it brings back painful memories for them. It’s not that hard. And as for Ben’s alternate voice pack? It’s literally based around sexual misconduct. So yeah.

I’m just pissed off that my favorite franchise of all time is suffering because some entitled, whiny little puke stains can’t handle minute changes that effect next to NOTHING about the game itself. Like a few cosmetic differences is the absolute end of the world. If you’re like that and you’re reading this? Stop crying like a little bitch, put on your big boy pants and accept the fact that these changes are LAUGHABLY MINOR. The designs are still the same. The story is still the same. The gameplay is still the same. The characters are still the same. The art style is still the same. EVERYTHING THAT MATTERS IS THE SAME. WHO. CARES?!

[waviermylove]

Can you please write a headcanon list for a Wavier/Wenvier wedding? I’m writing a fic but I’m running out of ideas

Wedding Headcanons:

Pairing: Wednesday Addams x Xavier Thorpe

The wedding took place on a chilly October, in a Gothic cathedral.

Gomez challenged Xavier to a (friendly) fencing duel when he asked for permission to marry Wednesday. Xavier was relieved that he won- he wasn't sure what would happen if he didn't.

Uncle Fester went around shaking everyone’s hands.

Cousin Itt officiated the wedding in his unintelligible language, confusing half of the guests.

Flowers at the reception: black roses, dark red dahlias, and black calla lilies.

Lurch played the organ for the wedding march, followed by "The Addams Family" theme song.

Their wedding vows came from the movie 'Corpse Bride': "With this hand, I will lift your sorrows. Your cup will never empty, for I will be your wine. With this candle, I will light your way in darkness. With this ring, I ask you to be mine."

Xavier had designed their matching wedding bands himself.

They exchanged a blood oath, wearing vials of each other's blood on pendants around their necks.

As a surprise for Wednesday, Xavier arranged for a murder of crows to fly overhead during the ceremony.

The bride and groom both wore black. They looked like they walked out of a gloomy fairytale fantasy. (Or, in Ajax's words, "A couple from a black and white Instagram filter")

Ajax was -of course- best man, and Enid was Wednesday's maid of honour.

Thing was the ring bearer, complete with a tiny bow-tie.

Xavier's six-year-old cousin Lily scattered black rose petals down the aisle as the flower girl.

The couple's first dance was to the song "Bad Romance" by Lady Gaga. Wednesday had secretly been practicing a choreographed routine for weeks, and Xavier was completely surprised when she took his hand and led him onto the dance floor.

Their last song was "To The End" by My Chemical Romance- If you marry me, would you bury me? Would you carry me to the end?

The Addams family performed a choreographed dance to "Thriller", led by Uncle Fester.

The wedding cake was a three-tier cake with black and white icing, each tier consisting of their favorite flavors: dark chocolate, red velvet, and coffee.

Yoko served as the bartender, mixing her famous mojitos.

Wednesday wanted to stick a wasp's nest in the bouquet of flowers before she threw it. Xavier talked her out of it.

In the end, they compromised by placing a live tarantula, much to Bianca's horror and dismay.

Gomez and Morticia presented the newlyweds with a mansion along with an antique guillotine, which was a treasured family heirloom.

Vincent Thorpe actually made it to the wedding. His gift was a private island on the Aegean Sea.

The couple left the reception in a vintage hearse decorated with black and red ribbons, driven by Lurch.

Pugsley provided fireworks for the couple's grand exit.

Their first honeymoon destination was Paris, France: The Louvre Museum, Paris Catacombs, and the Père Lachaise cemetery.

Hope this helps, and good luck with your story!

Screen-grab at the top of this post is yet another excellent example of Hunter giving Kevin ‘love me eyes.’

The Black Dahlia Murder - Servitude

Starting off a review of the new Black Dahlia Murder album is tough, because there’s some context that’s needed for this record to understand why this album is a big deal. Maybe not for the overall music world, but for death metal and for this band specifically, this is an album that marks a new era for them, as well as a triumph, so to speak. Former vocalist Trevor Strnad passed away two years ago from taking his own life, and that shook up the metal community quite a bit. People are still torn up about it today, but people were wondering if and how the band would go on. Stepping up to the plate was Brian Eschbach, their longtime rhythm guitarist and only founding member remaining, but people were skeptical how they would sound with him on vocals.

The Black Dahlia Murder is one of the most beloved bands in all of metal, not merely just death metal, so they would have to tread lightly if they replaced their vocalist. I waited until the entirety of Servitude came out to check out his debut with the band on vocals, but this record is quite good, honestly, and I would even say it’s a great addition to their body of work. Does this album sound like everything else they’ve done? Sure, but Eschbach does a great job here, evoking Trevor on many occasions but also doing something new with his performance. He still has that venom and bite, but he’s not trying to sound just like him.

If anything, this album needed to be a reintroduction to the band after the last couple of years, and it works perfectly for what it is. Servitude is a short and sweet album, only 33 minutes, and it breezes by quite nicely. This record is a lot of fun, and while it’s a straightforward melodic death metal album, it also packs a punch. Because Eschbach was moving to vocals, the band also got new-ish rhythm guitarist Ryan Knight (who was in the band previously from 2009 to 2016), and the pairing of him with longtime guitarist Brandon Ellis is a match made in Heaven. Both of them sound great together, and the riffs and solos just ooze out of them, but it sounds wonderful.

I don’t have a ton to say about this record, but it’s a solid addition to their body of work. It won’t win you over if you’re not a fan, and if you are a fan, you’ll either appreciate it for what it is, or you’ll think it sucks because it’s not Trevor, which is a pretty close minded way of thinking. Yeah, Trevor was one of the best vocalists in extreme music, but the band can definitely go on if they choose to do so. I’ve been surprisingly coming back to this album quite a lot, especially when the last couple of weeks have had a handful of releases come out, but the fact that this one has gotten my attention is a good sign, all things considered. Give it a spin if you want a good and consistent melodic death metal album, even if it doesn’t necessarily do anything you haven’t heard before.

As a follow up to my favorite books of the first quarter of the year, here are some of my favorites from April, May, June! In no particular order, just in the order I read them.

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty is a fun, pirate fantasy adventure featuring one of my recently realized favorite tropes: getting the band back together. A retired female pirate just wants to live a quiet life raising her young daughter, when she is recruited to rescue the child of a former crewmate. She must reunite with her old crew and save the day. Killer cover, fun story.

Chlorine by Jade Song is a coming of age body horror novel about a teenaged girl who will do anything to become a mermaid. Slow burn- you know what will happen from the beginning, but it's a deep dive into the mind of this queer young swimmer to watch her get there.

Malice by Keigo Higashino is a Japanese novel translated by Alexander O. Smith about a detective determined to uncover the motive behind the murder of a famous novelist. Loved this why-done-it.

We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film by Tre'vell Anderson is a nonfiction exploration of Black trans representation in pop culture and history, as well as moments from the author's own life. Looks at everything To Wong Foo to Pose to Survivor.

Don't Fear the Reaper by Stephen Graham Jones is the second book in the Indian Lake Trilogy. SGJ is my favorite horror author but his work and ESPECIALLY these books are not for everyone. People either love or hate this series and what can I say? I get it. Graphic here.

VenCo by Cherie Dimaline is about a young Indigenous woman who has to go on an adventure with her unusual and elderly grandmother after she discovers that she's one of seven witches to usher in a new era of power.

Madame Restell by Jennifer Wright is a nonfiction book about a famous abortionist in pre-Gilded Age New York. I found it fascinating, if not incredibly depressing, with how much we recycle the same arguments over and over again. Great read. Trigger warnings for this one, from childbirth to abortion to racism to misogyny.

Clytemnestra by Costanza Casati is a Greek mythology retelling on the titular murderer. As a Clytemnestra apologist, I really liked this. I kind of think so many of Greek retellings these days are all very similar, in writing style & theme so I feel like if you've read one of these recent retellings you've read them all, but I liked it!

Hamra & the Jungle of Memories by Hanna Alkaf is a Little Red Riding Hood retelling set in modern Malaysia, where a girl in a red hijab must help a tiger return to his human form. Really a beautiful story about humanity, grief, and what it means to make mistakes. Also just a fun adventure. Loved it. Graphic here.

You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight by Kalynn Bayron is another final girl horror novel. Look, I'm gonna read all of them and I'm gonna love all of them! You give me a final girl and I'm gonna eat it up. You give me a queer Black final girl trying to survive the night at her camp recreating a famous (fictional) horror movie while trying to protect her girlfriend? Yum, yum, yum.

Honorable mentions: Ayoade on Top is Richard Ayoade's definitive tome on the Gwenyth Paltrow film View From the Top. Get the audiobook for this one for sure! The Three Dahlias is a fun cozy mystery, and Saint Juniper's Folly is a fun queer modern fantasy adventure.

[secretpremonition]

Im listening to the black dahlia murder for the first time today cuz im pretty bad at checking out metal bands even when i hear about them a million times im like yeah ill listen later. Anyways the album ritual showed up as recommended on my last fm and its amazing

Dortmund Deathfest@JunkYard, 02.+03.08.2024

Obwohl mir schon der Kackstift ging, da ich mich nach der Arbeit auf eine einigermaßen pünktliche Bahn verließ, habe ich es doch geschafft zu Massacre und hätte mich auch noch an den jakas ergötzt, wäre die Halle nicht derart voll, dass man sich kaum reinzwängen konnte. Zumindest sagten die, die da waren, dass die Jakas wieder ordentlich gerockt haben. Aber legen wir den Fokus doch auf Massacre, die mit komplett neuem Line-Up (bis auf einen etwas fülliger gewordenen Frontmann Kam Lee) 33 Jahre "From Beyond" zelebrierten. Ein Album, das ich als eins der Meisterwerke der Death-Metal-Szene ansehe. Und bei dem Ansturm von - auch jüngeren - Fans scheine ich mit dieser Meinung auch nicht alleine dazustehen. Es wurde also gnadenlos das Album durchgespielt und die erste Reihe, in der auch ich stand, deutlich begeistert. Anschließend noch den neuen Gitarristen getroffen, der ein wenig angepisst war, dass die Klampfe mal zwischendurch ausfiel. Wir fanden es trotzdem geil, und die Besucher kamen auch aus der ganzen Welt. So sagte bspw. eine Frau aus New England, dass sie für Konzerte schon durch ganz Europa gejettet sei, es ihr hier aber am besten gefiel. Juhu, endlich mal ein Lob an die Homebase. Während ich mir dann die äußerlich gealterten Incantation zu Gemüt führte, fiel mir zuerst die Dekadenz eines Prpgrammheftes ins Auge. Zu Blood Red Throne, die ich jedoch schon letztes Jahr positiv mitgenommen habe, war ich diesmal zu spät. Jenny und Seb von Metal Tremonia schwärmten jedoch sichtlich. Nicht nur über die tolle Musik, sondern auch die Hilfe durch JunkYard-Mitarbeiter bei einem Ladies-Problem. Auch Skeletal Remains haben schon früh für Stimmung gesorgt. Punkt 22 Uhr beendeten Black Dahlia Murder den Abend bis auf eine Grindcore-Band indoor, die nochmal für die ganz Verrückten loslegte. Habe BDM kaum als Headliner eingestuft, wie es auch am nächsten Tag bei Terrorizer der Fall war, aber die waren doch überraschend gut, wenngleich die echten Higlights an beiden Tagen bereits um 17 Uhr auf der Bühne standen. Viele meckerten ohnehin über das nicht so tolle Line-Up im Vergleich zum Vorjahr. Somit hatte ich am Folgetag auch am meisten Spaß bei Memoriam, der Band von Karl von Bolt Thrower und Frank von Benediction. Mit supercoolen Moves und Schuhen, die ein wenig aussahen, als hätten sie darauf abgespritzt, waren auch Cumbeast aus Finnland ein Hingucker. Suffocation waren auch ganz gut, aber haben einen auch nicht vom Hocker gerissen. Bei Gut Rectomy wurde mit Schwimmnudeln im Kreis gerannt, was meine Begleitung simpel mit "De-Evolution" betitelte und Terrorizer hatten leider einen dumpfen Sound, aber auch Jesse hat gefehlt. Dennoch ein übelst geiles Festival, auf das man sich auch im nächsten Jahr wieder freuen kann. Der Eintrittspreis ist speziell an der AK gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber es macht Spaß!
