Corroded Coffin is back with their sophomore album, Memento Mori Motel.

With even more groundbreaking songs than the last album, those four boys from Hawkins Indiana have transformed into men with a message and a cohesive vision—keeping fans of rock and metal mesmerized by their musical innovation that defies genre entirely. (@eddiemonth day 8: rockstar)

The opening track, Jack Of All, plays like an instant classic. The riffs are crisp and clear as they poke fun at both their newfound fame and rural roots. I’m climbing up the walls / You just don’t have the balls / I’m never gonna fall / ‘cause I’m the Jack of All. The second song, If I Object (Objectify), is all noise, with hardly even a second to breathe before the wailing cries at the end. The words if I object melt into the word objectify, closing out the song in a soaring scream.

Hit The Nail Out Of The Park is a thoughtful examination of American boyhood, without shying away from how ugly growing up can be. The tempo may be slower but the track has a grit to it that can’t be ignored. Six Feet Under continues to wow audiences as the lead single, comparing the slow death of a relationship to being buried alive. Daisies sprout overhead / In the thick of goodbye / Now it’s just me in a flowerbed / Eternally wondering why.

In the second half of the album, Necrotizing Facist Idol isn’t afraid to punch up with hard hits or make a political statement. The message is pretty clear in the chorus: He’s eaten away at too much of our lives / He’s going to pay for his sins when he dies / No time to wait / Let’s amputate / The necrotizing fascist idol. 24hr lobotomy is more of an internal struggle of self destructive tendencies, and the desire to numb any feeling at all—and ultimately crashing down to earth when the vices wear off.

Postcard From Hell is a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek vision of life after death, musing on the afterlife being not unlike a long, grueling vacation. The album ends on a tender yet bittersweet note, with the mysteriously titled Microscopic Fibers (Dying Star). The harmonizing guitars at the end is a standout moment as the song goes out with a bang, which turns into the whisper of the final notes. I can see your fire from light years through time / Like a star that died before it ever graced my eyes / Oh, slipping through my fingers (fingers, fingers) / Oh, how your presence lingers (lingers, lingers).

My cousin is like THE ultimate ally. Its funny too because people try misgendering him or try to be homophobic towards him but hes cishet so it doesnt work.

He's:

corrected people on my pronouns and tells anyone who tries to disagree to "shut the fuck up" at least five times

accepted me instantly.

Seemingly knew id end up being trans before i even came out

Went as far as to help me pick out a name

Took me to the store to get clothing

Bought me a binder

Punched a facist and broke the fuckers nose

He may or may not be an egg himself

Bless 'em for it.

...Understand that the Maggot Cultists and the Rethuglican "leaders" want to force segregation back onto everyone & everything.

If you are a performer, if you know a performer, make sure they put this sort of thing into their contracts, too. Updated, of course, but DO NOT PRE-COMPLY WITH OPPRESSORS & AUTHORITARIANS.

And always, always...punch facists.

In response to the idea of playing a U.S. show for only white people, John Lennon said in 1964, “We never play to segregated audiences and we aren’t going to start now.

Sinful Beasts characters

Eric (lust)

is enthusiastic about everything. Essentially imagine a teenage border collie. That's Eric. He can be rather naive and gullible, but actually is surprisingly book smart (thanks to going down wikipedia rabbit holes far too late at night)

Arthur (Gluttony)

Chilled out and cheerful, and tries to see the best in people (with one major exception). As a Gluttony Beast he has the power to eat anything he wants without negative consequences, so he basically survives off of cheap sweet baked stuff. Arthur likes fixing and building things, basically any hobby that keeps his hands busy

Reese (Greed)

Ah, yes. The afore-mentioned one exception. Reese is a cranky, gambling, hoarding adrenaline-junkie with a lot of ambition that is currently going nowhere. It's hard to move up in the world when you're an inhuman monster representing one of the seven sins, and that's a major factor in why he's so grumpy all the time. It's not hard to see why he clashes with Arthur so much.

Stevie (Sloth)

Unsurprisingly, Stevie is very lazy. When she isn't asleep, she often seems a little bit high, but she's actually just kind of like that. It's difficult to faze her and she very much has a 'go with the flow' sort of philosophy. Stevie's naturally good at thinking outside the box, which allows her to come up with handy ways to do as little as possible. She also has little sense of personal space and anyone who sits still for too long may find themselves being used as a pillow.

Colin (Envy)

Can come across as skittish or overly-cautious, but he's had a pretty tough past few years and he only just met everyone else, so he's got a good excuse. This causes people to coddle him a bit, even though he's a lot tougher than his... everything suggests. Just give him some time to adjust guys! Colin can turn invisible, but isn't good at controlling his power, so he often does it by accident when surprised, scared, embarrassed, etc. He also has big ol' puppy dog eyes that he is comically unaware of. 🥺

Lucille (Pride)

Unwitting mom friend. I don't know how she hasn't figured that out yet. She's confident, always trying to be helpful (even when it might not be needed) and maybe likes to stick her beak into other people's business a bit too much.

Kelsey (Wrath)

THIS MONSTER PUNCHES FACISTS. Or aspires to at least. They're very cautious about their temper, so they often do calming activities like gardening, yoga, or brooding dramatically on the roof of the house in the rain. You're not Batman Kelsey, I'm sorry.

[magicalrecall]

*talking about Steven in Pink Diamond's outfit* "I'm so happy that Steven is finally a magical girl!"

...hey, man. Don't go insulting magical girls like that.

I just need to vent a bit... so here's my list of things my dad has said that make me want to fly into the sun. This list is the last 2 months. I will update it as time goes on.

• Its not ok to punch Nazi and white supremacists

• Democrats are Nazis

• If he ever had sex with a trans women and found out she was trans after the fact he would kill her.

• Everyone wants sex. If you dont, or are not attracted to anyone, you are sick.

• Trans women are not really women and trans men are not real men. They can call themselves whatever they want but its all delusion. Top surgery should be banned.

• The LGBT community support Pedophilia.

• Refused to take the Covid 19 Vaccine because of Democrats and Faucci. (note: this is a summary of a 2hr rant)

• Trump is the best President we've ever had.

• IRS and CIA and FBI plotted against conservatives and Trump.

• Capitalism is Good and improving our quality of life.

• Herd Immunity is a Joke.

• The don't say gay bill is good. Chidren shouldn't be aware Trans/Nonbinary people exist and gay romance should only be known if someone they know has two dads/moms.

• Systemic Racism no longer exists in the U.S.

• Its ok to be racist to Indian call center employees and those whose main language is Spanish.

• Him not enforcing gender stereotypes on his children is why I am queer.

• He thought only Republicans voted for black and women rights to vote (note: he has since researched this. with assitance, and is now confused)

• Would "abort" a child after birth if it was "disabled enough"

• Roe v. Wade being overturned is a good thing.

• Socialists are a "Facist Regime."

• People in cities deserve less say than rural American because "they don't understand real life" Rural Votes should count at least 5x more.

• BLM and RoevWade protests are Riots and deserve to be violently put down.

• People working in minimum wage jobs don't deserve enough money to live because they aren't real jobs. They also don't deserve to have families.

• Screaming Dyke (derogatory) at his child anytime they cut their hair "too short" in order to bully them into keeping their hair long.

• January 6th insurrection is a lie made up but the "left"

• January 6th insurrection was a peaceful protest but "left wing facists" snuck in to make a fuss.

• Thinks being racist is funny because I react negatively to him saying racist things.

• Trans individuals should have their own sports league and not "destroy the dreams of real men and women by tainting or taking away their victories"

• Consent is only needed for sex.

Dear Freddie and Roger, if you had a holiday named after you, what would you want it to be about? What traditions or celebrations would people have? (I hope that makes sense.)

Freddie: Oh, that is a good question. A good question! 🤔

Roger: I'd want it to be National Punch-A-Facist Day. *nods* Exactly what it says on the tin.

Freddie: Goodness, what about making love, not war?

Roger: Well, yeah, but it's just one day in the year! A tiny bit of violence never hurt anyone. 😛

Freddie: *snorts with laughter* Well I, for one, would like my day to be a big celebration. The biggest party you can imagine, garlands and flowers everywhere. Flower garlands! A parade, with dancers throwing sweets and gold coins into the crowds!

Roger: Gold coins? Who's gonna pay for that?

Freddie: Me, obviously. I must be rich and famous since they're naming a holiday after me.

Roger: 😁 What are they naming it then?

Freddie: St Freddie's Day! There's roses, too. Of all colours.

Roger: Original. You're a saint as well, then?

Freddie: *shrugs* Might as well, in for a penny...

[roseonthewindow]

YES they did they nuked the things afterword's because they FUCKED up and they are a fuckups so that is no shock!

HE HAS TO AND YES HE!!!! ITS PART OF THE REGLUATIONS YOU RETARD! YOU WANT OT FIGHT YOU HAVE TO GET TESTED PERIOD!! IT IS FOR SAFTY! THEY DO NOT WANT BLOOD TRANSMITTED DESSEASES TO SPREAD!!! THERE IS A SIGNIFANT DIFFRENCE IN THE WAY MEN AND WOMEN BOX THAT DOES AFFECT MROE THAN FAIRNESS BUT SAFTY AS WELL IT IS A SAFTY CONCERN YOU PIECE OF ACTIVIST TRASH!

X to doubt I am more than convinced of two thing 1 your a fucking shill and 2 that bastard is a ACTIVIST PLANT HIS opponent had a broken face because that piece of abusive gets off on beating on women crap did not pull the punches even when victory was assures and the MATCH was grossly mismatched at best AND THAT PIECE OF CRAP KNEW IT TOO! The fight with the woman who passed is still being investigated the IOC is covering it up but it was more recent than the poor woman whos face that BATTRAD SHIT STAIN broke! that bitches mother should have spat him out! Illegal in the country IHOPE THE MOTHER GETS THROWN IN PIRSON WHITH EHR ABIUSIVE PIECE OF SHIT SON.

I know what the X means its calling out the ref for not calling a proper unsportsman blow! its a call to judge the ref for bias! that that wasn't your golden glow boy whore was it... YOU ARE A DISHONER TO YOUR BLOODLOINE and a DISGRACE to your RACE! hand up that activist bitch panties because this was ALWAYSE a LOSEING BATTLE for you you abuse supporter! puh I spit on you you disgrace! Also BONUS tiger because your too stupid to get a hint. KAMAMA IS THE FACIST CANADATE SHE WAS APOINTED NOT ELECTED!!! SHE MAY BE DISQUALIFIED BECUASE SHE WAS NOT PROPERLY ELECTED AS A CANDATE! IF THAT HAPPENS ITS TOO LATE TO HOLD AN ELECTION FOR CANADATE NOW TURMP WOUDL RUN UNAOPPOSED. MAGA 2024 IS A ASSUREANCE AND TEH DEMOLISHMENT OF WHAT THE DEOCRAT PARTY IS CALLING DEMOCRACY (actual facisim and communisim by the way so fuck off with that crap) WILL TRANSPIRE THE DEEPSTATE THAT YOU RE SHILLING FOR WILL FAIL ITS ALREADY HAPPENING THEY ARE DONE ITS OVER! YOU LOST!!! just like you lost this argument before it started. your golden bitch boy abuser is a plant for political pandering; and I do hope his own country throws his ass in prison where he belongs.

why do you keep saying Khelif is from Argentina????

Because someone keeps editing the information to try and hide what really was happening. At the end of the day you had a biological male (Proven by the mandatory DNA testing by the IOC itself) given a free pass by the IOC to physically abuse women and be rewarded for it. It does not matter where that piece of shit is from, the IOC tested and confirmed male, but still out in women's, now they are in hardcore coverup mode because they are being called out. The IOC rigging of the event was cough in 4k.

A little something for Rik Mayall day!!!

Rick Pratt meeting a younger version of my OC Amelia Chesterfield. She’s a bit more raw and mean here, but that’s because she’s not been through her internship which gave her the polished affect she has now.

“and it is....the welfare state..” She murmured walking back and forth throughout the laundry mat. Waiting for her clothes to get done. “....that has not only ....Hmm” she had a pencil in her hand, taping her chin.

She had brown hair that was neatly kept in place by a white hairband. A yellow cardigan and tight jeans were adorning her small frame.

She was writing in a notebook. She was no doubt a college student.

Rick Pratt was watching her. He heard a few sociology terms and it peaked his interest. He hadn’t seen a girly this pretty in a long time. He wanted to take in all of her, not disturb her.

“that has dismantled...” she snapped her fingers. “the very fabric of social morale. Sweet Mother Mary I am brilliant..” she said at a normal volume. Writing down what appeared to be a speech. She saw him out of the corner of her eye and raised a brow. Ignoring him she turned her nose up a little. She faced away from him and continued working.

Rick of course made a face of “ how dare you”. But took the time to glance at her bottom. Did he like girls? He must like girls. He was unsure at times. Maybe it was cause there weren’t many pretty ones that knew him...he liked how pretty this one was. She sounded smart too. Dare he speak to her?

“E-Excuse me. Miss-Girly...e-er Miss Woman..”He asked. She rolled her eyes. “ I’ll be done with this machine when the little buzzer goes off.” She said side glancing at him.

“No, no. I uhm... couldn’t help overhearing...what you’re w’orking on.” Rick said so eager to share his radical left poetry with her. “I’m Rick!...”

“Oh? You mean my debate points, defending the restrictions to the NHS? and my name is Amelia..”She grinned evilly.

Rick gasped. “....Tory!” He pointed at her.

“Guilty as charged. Now, why don’t you pick your jaw up off the floor. It’s probably the first bit of honest work you’ve ever done in your life.” She said getting back to work.

“Fine. You’re a Tory...a capitalist, a sycophant...but ...you’re still really pretty..and smart...And I can’t help but feel there is an undeniable chemistry between us. Maybe if I could talk to you and ...read you a bit of my poetry...you’d see that anarchism is the best way! What do you say?..” he grinned and leaned toward her a little.

She plucked one of his buttons off and stomped on it. Bending it so it could no longer be of use.

He just couldn’t believe it! All Tories were EVIL. How could she be this pretty and think such ugly thoughts?!

“...How can you support....her?! I mean you’re young like me!” He said pointing to himself.

“Yes. I’m young. But I’m not foolish. The only thing that anyone needs to worry about in this life is power and money. One day I’m going to have a lot of both and maybe one day you’ll...I don’t know...find a nice..ordinary existence bagging groceries at ASDA...” she gave a cruel laugh and Rick snatched her notebook from her.

“Hey! You BRUTE! Give that back!” She chased after him and Rick got on-top of a washer and held it over her head. She jumped repeatedly, trying to get it.

“I’ll give it back if you say.....I love Lenin! A-and I want Rick to snog me!!” He chuckled maliciously.

“...If you value breathing you’ll give it back! Now.” She stomped her foot, angrily.

“You’re rather cute when you’re angry..” Rick said. Raising his brows up and down at her.

She rather promptly punched him in the groin and he went down immediately. She took her notebook.

“Did I say breathing? I meant BREEDING.” She said taking her blue notebook back. Promptly walking away from him.

...

“So can I claim myself as a church..and a non-profit?” Rick heard Mike ask someone as he stumbled home. With his laundry. “Those bloody taxes are cutting into my profit margin..”

“Of course you can. You can then keep all the profit just as long as you have one parishioner.” Rick’s eyes went wide. No. It couldn’t be. He stormed into the kitchen.

“MICHEAL! How could you have let this FACIST into our home?!” Rick angrily said, pointing at her.

“Oh. Well she’s my date. She’s rather fit isn’t she?” Mike said looking at her. She seated at the table. She gave a calm wave at both of them. Smiling.

“Micheal. She’s a Tory, she’s evil, greedy and power hungry. How can you find her attractive?!” Rick said, looking at her.

“...Well. Look at er man. She’s a dime piece. Political party aside.” Mike waved back at her.

“...What’s the matter Rick? Jealous?...Oh but that’s all your sort knows isn’t it? Want want want but won’t do a THING about it.”

“...She’s got a point, Rick. You do a lot of complainin’ and don’t really seem to do anything about it..” Mike calmly said.

“A POINT?! Oh, you’re leaving. NOW.” Rick said acting like he was going to pull on her hair to drag her out. She smirked when he hesitated.

“What’s the matter?...Too afraid to abandon those principles of yours?..Go on then. Hurt little ol’ me..” she grinned evilly.

Rick whimpered.

“Hah. I bet you’ve never even touched a woman..” Amelia said. Bitingly. Walking toward him. Rick backed away from her.

“...He’s touched a few but they’ve never touched back..” Mike said.

“MICHEAL. I can handle this.” Rick said backing away from her putting his hands up.

“Now, Now ...Amelia. You’re in my home..let’s not do anything ...illegal..” he said as she forced him into a corner. He was frightened of this little woman.

“Here’s a bit of advice for you, Rick. Women, real women want a man who can BE something. Who isn’t afraid to take what he wants. No matter what it costs..Lying, cheating, stealing, even Murder! A woman needs a man who can do ALL of that. Do keep that in mind next time you make eyes at a girl at your next basement bound filthy socialists meeting..” she smirked at how scared he was.

She playfully kissed his cheek and slapped his other one.

He astonishedly held both of them and just looked at her.

“Alright, Mike. Lets go. I want to watch all the poor people try to sneak in their own candy at the cinema.” She chuckled and looked back at Rick before leaving. Mike unknowingly falling for her trap for her to report him for tax fraud so she could collect a nice fat reward. Thus beginning her career in blackmailing.

“Bye, Rick...” she turned to leave with Mike but turned around quickly to scare him. “BOO!” Before cackling as she walked out.

Rick shrieked and held himself.

“....She put her mouth on me...I basically had sex....with a conservative ...EUGH!!!! I can’t even brag about it..”

[llatimeria]

just had an interesting interaction on twitter

one of those kitty cat roleplay twitter accounts posted a pic of their cat w this caption

(cropping out the cat in question just in case they decide to delete the post)

and i was like. oh god no the fash have reached kitty cat roleplay twitter. that’s way too specific of a number to be random. if you look closely it even looks like someone whited over a “14″ in front of it but that might just be the crunched jpg aesthetic of the meme tbf (if you aren’t aware, 88 stands for “HH” [h being the 8th letter of the alphabet], which in turn stands for “heil hitler". 14 is a reference to “the 14 words”, an explicitly white supremacist slogan.)

except OP had an antifascist pfp and RT’d antifa stuff (and not in a completely hollow way either, like. actual action things, donation campaigns, etc, so i was doubtful of a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” situation) so I was like. OK good they’re not a nazi, but just to be safe I sent them a PM asking about it

turns out they had lifted the format from someone else, as one does with memes, and just hadn’t noticed the dogwhistle. they knew about it (so my explanation of it was redundant hffhjkdhfsf), but it just slipped their mind when making the meme. this kind of stuff can happen to the best of us, so i don’t fault them for it at all -- this is the point of dogwhistles; they are so subtle that they can fly under the radar of people who aren’t looking for them.

i’m not typically a fan of permanent ultra-vigilance about everything you consume due to the actually tiny chance there could be some random nazi shit in it because that’s just... an exhausting way to live (how many thousands of memes have i looked at today? this week? this year? and this is the only one I’ve seen with a dogwhistle in it that wasn’t already a meme by nazis for nazis only being spread by other nazis that i only saw as an example of “this is what a nazi meme looks like”? Seriously This Does Not Happen That Often, at least not to me) but . i just want people to be on their guard if they see memes like this one. if you’ve seen this specific format before, maybe let the posters know if they seem to be unaware, or unfollow them. just... keep an eye out. be mindful. fascists are people, people who can like cats and enjoy creating memes. but because facists are fucked up people, they weave their shitty little opinions into their content in the subtlest way possible. they know they’d get punched in the face if they were just openly like “heil hitler!”, so they cloak it in “HH” and then “88″. but make no mistake: they are still saying “heil hitler”. this stuff gets normal people to spread their message unknowingly, so nazis can find each other and build up networks. they’re also simultaneously drawing in normal folks with cute kitty cat memes, just random people who will follow their accounts for fun “wholesome” meme content, which can lead to people being slowly indoctrinated into nazism if they choose to stay in that corner of the internet for too long

idk how to end this post other than This Is Really Not Good Huh
