Every time I hear another amazing South American extreme metal band, I think to myself "Wow, I'm proud to be South American."

INTERVIEW: STEELBACK (CHILE)

The amount of fantastic talent from South America seems to be endless these days and one of those bands is Chilean metal champions SteelBack! Check out what these guys had to say when we caught up with them recently! TheNwothm: Hey there! Can you tell us your band name, who is in the band and where you are from? S.B: We are SteelBack, we are from Panquehue, a town in the province of Aconcagua…

Critical Defiance - No Life Forms (2022)

Old school frantic thrash/speed metal from Chile

This record sounds like Critical Defiance drank 10 Red Bulls before recording. Quite frankly I love it. Yes, they play fast, but there are faster bands. It’s more in the frantic nature of their playing. Thrash is going through a revival but if I didn’t know any better I would have thought this was a throwback band from the 80s similar to bands like Toxik and Realm. This release is frantic stuff that I miss in my metal and when I listen to this band I feel that I am transported back in time to when I spun music for my college radio days.

It's time.

Pick a song based on an extremely bad description! This week's theme is folk music (but more global folk and less Joan Baez. Nothing against Joan Baez; this just isn't that).

At the end of the week, I will make a playlist out of all songs on the poll, in order from least votes to most votes. If you are curious about a song and don't want to wait a week, shoot me an ask and I will tell you the name/artist of the song. If you want to be reminded when the playlist drops, leave a comment or put it in the tags, and I will tag you when it's over and done with.

And please reblog! More reblogs = more votes = a more chaotic playlist, and isn't that always the point?

The nature of time is that (culturally) Christian Euro/Anglo colonial consumers (hereafter white ‘people’) fetishize the idea of being ‘close to nature’ or ‘primitive’ or ‘savage’ and latch on to the idea that there are groups of people in the world who are somehow bestial or who have some kind of special powers from holding animist beliefs/beliefs that acknowledge the body as opposed to the Christian belief that the body is a kind of useless appendage to a person. We see this across decades from the 19thC to today in the racist fetishization of indigenous people across the globe, particularly residents of the Americas, Australasia, and southern/eastern Africa.

White consumers use a warped conception of other cultures to live out the fantasies that the Christian soul/body stuff engenders. You keep getting told that your emotions and physical sensations are the devil’s work? You want to get in touch with those physical sensations, but you don’t want it to interfere with your worldview? Simply project them on to a convenient group of people with slightly different conventions from you. Imagine how cool it would be to be 100% physical sensation (especially those pesky violent and/or sexual urges) and no mental burden, then unleash that in a way that causes millions of deaths worldwide via the dehumanization of entire nations of people just trying to live their lives. White consumers love a Proud Warrior Race Guy.

Flash forward to the 2010s, it’s generally considered impolite to spread the same propaganda that justified the genocide and dispossession of many different groups of people. However white culture hasn’t changed that much and normal human activities still need to be explained away to maintain the veneer of white intellectualism that has been used to justify white violence for years and years. You can’t just stomp around and clap your hands and dance badly, you’ve got to project it somewhere else.

But wait! There’s a community of people considered ‘tribal’ and ‘savage’, considered violent and bestial, who were never colonized! It’s…the Norse. Fetishizing early medieval North Sea raiders can’t be cultural appropriation, see, they’re white! It’s not offensive to replace an entire culture with white (male) ideas of what’s cool if that culture is totally unassociated with colonizer stereotypes and is in fact a culture of colonizers!

And that’s my theory on why there are so many Norse-inspired folk bands/video games/tv shows/memes/literally anything in the 2010s. VSaga not counted because that manga has been running since 2003 and is actually well-researched and comes out of a culture with a similar but distinct tradition of racism. The Euro storytelling tendencies of needing some kind of violent avatar have taken on ye anciente Norseman now that people care a little bit about the gallons of blood used to sketch other ethnic stereotypes. Done and dusted. Except the other side is that the fetishization of early medieval Norse culture is literally just white supremacist 101 and a lot of artists don’t step around that nearly as carefully as they should

Singer Susane Hécate as the Shaman Witch from "Espíritos Rupestres" by Brazilian black metal band Miasthenia. ☠️ Their music is inspired by the 17th-18th century native Tapuian resistance against colonisation and the Inquisition. For Folktale Week 2024 Day 6: Bone.

A split between these 3 would be life-changing.

Top 15 Games that Need a Remake (2023 Edition)

I saw that GameBolt made a video about this topic, but I found it kind of dull to watch.  It had ALL of the usual suspects on there from videos that other channels have made.  I made a list like this about 8 years ago, and I thought to myself – why not actually look at this topic again?  Find games that aren’t just a few years old to ask if we could get a sequel to them.  Especially since some of…
