Prefer Hatred but still kills

DIS is an enigma to say the least.  Album starts with an acoustic piece then immediately into 2 other long brain grinding pieces you would expect from these guys.  I was fortunate enough to see them play live and the music definitely maintains it's crushing ambiance that DIS emits.  Would suggest Hatred for Mankind first then follow up with this cause you'll definitely need more.  Not for the big four fans at all (you know; Ancraps; Megacrap, Metallicrap, and Slayer); much more intense.

I have the original DOD Death Metal and the original DOD Grunge Pedals (amongst a plethora of others). The O.G. Death Metal had more clarity. Digitech's version is a little too "hot" and causes more unwanted feedback. I love feedback but it is much more difficult to control with this version. If you can find an old DOD, get that but this one is still a good pedal. For those who say the Grunge is better, it's a matter of opinion and style.  The Grunge has quite the nasty tone but the Death Metal is a "tighter" sound. The Grunge was made to be noisier because it was intended for grunge!! The Death Metal needed to be more precise for more staccato picking that metal has. For those complaining about not having an old fuzz type tone, you can get this but why would you? IT'S A DEATH METAL PEDAL. They make other pedals that are better for fuzz and vice versa.

The purge anarchy is a lot better than the first one.  Now this movie has everything in it a lot more gore now you know how horror fans love the gore now the first purge was good but that was a piece of cake compared to the sequal because anarchy is 1 hr and 43 minutes long and thats what makes this better it lets them get more victims for the purge.

Victor M380 Fly Magnet Reusable Trap with Bait
This is a product you like for it's effectiveness to catch and kill flies and hate it for the same reason.  When used as intended it does the job .  .  .  disgustingly.  Lots of flies and other flying insects that like the same things as flies like and end up in the liquid made bait, but that bait is stinky so don't use it where the smell will linger to make you want to do away with it somehow. Some reviewers make me think they are complete idiots when they hang it in the house or garage. There are fly catching tools for that, so use them indoors. This bait attracts flies by making them think there is a rotting carcass to lay eggs on for reproduction and then drowns them in the bait. The bait stay stinky for a long time and in my use, completely fills up the liquid with dead flies. That is it's purpose and it is effective, but the smell lingers and gets in your nose and well, yuck!  Disgusting!
Older post:
I filled this up in about a month or so.  It is now out by my composter and worm bins Hanging and waiting to go in to the composter for feeding my black fly larva.  Stinky from the start and really drew in the flies. I like it.

You gotta hear these guys to believe it. This is some of the most hardcore, most hateful music of all time. Makes me want to smash some windows just thinking about it. This album is a combination of their first two albums. Their is nothing else like it. These guys were somewhat along the same line as Sick of It All or Sheer Terror.

There will be a moment, in reading "Because They Hate," when the force of Brigitte Gabriel's theme hits home.  Suppose she's right.  Suppose that Hezbolla's takeover of Lebanon truly does reflect the Muslim stranglehold foretold in the Qu'ran and the Hadith.  Suppose that the hellish violence which the author endured as a young girl in a Christian town in southern Lebanon is what all of us in Western Civilization can expect when Muslims bring their jihad to our doors.  After all, they hate us not because they envy our wealth, or because we are intolerant, or because we support Israel, nor for any of the rationalizations you may have heard.  They hate us because we are "dhimmis," non-Muslim.  Even if you are Muslim, they can hate you if you are not sufficiently devout for them.

Read "Because They Hate," and you will never again accept the moral equivalence argument.  You will never again say or even think that Muslim fundamentalism is no worse than Christian fundamentalism, or Jewish orthodoxy.  The fact is that they want to kill you and to destroy your democratic institutions.  You are a dhimmi and it is their religious obligation to kill you.  Every non-Muslim is an insult to Islam and may be killed with impunity; there is no such thing as an innocent Christian or Jew.  If you think you know a moderate Muslim, ask him what motivates suicide bombers, the 911 hijackers, or televised beheadings, and that "moderate" will justify every act of violence one way or another.  Here's how Gabriel puts "moral equivalence" into perspective.  If a Christian preacher were to take out a contract on someone we'd be outraged.  Yet Muslim imams commonly issue fatwas requiring the murder of journalists, politicians, and of course even cartoonists, and where's the moral outrage?

Gabriel watched, through the eyes of a teenage girl, the influx of Palestinian refugees, and the escalation of violence against Lebanese Christians as immigration altered he country's demographics.  As long as Muslims were a minority, peace was maintained, but when Muslims became a majority, hellfire erupted around her.  She watched her beautiful home destroyed, her father's restaurant destroyed, her friends killed, and the landscape bombarded.  She watched the Lebanese civil war through the cracks in the bomb shelter which was her home for six years.  She dragged her badly wounded mother back into the shelter after a rocket attack, and saved her life by getting her to a hospital in Israel.  She watched as Israeli doctors and nurses cared for injured Christians and Muslims, even ahead of wounded Israeli soldiers, solely based on the severity of the patient's injuries.

Gabriel went on to become a war correspondent, then news anchor, in Israel.  She married an American and emigrated to America.  She doesn't want what happened to her childhood home happen to her new home.  You may believe that the likelihood of widespread Muslim violence in America is a distant threat.  The argument that the author makes is that the less we take Muslims at their word, the more conciliatory we are, the more tolerant we are, the more likely that day becomes.  Actually, let's try a simple test.  Ask a few Christian friends the meaning of "first comes Saturday, then comes Sunday."  Then ask a few Muslims.  Christians get it wrong every time, but Muslims don't; they know.  It means that first we'll overthrow Israel and kill all the Jews (whose Sabbath is on Saturday), then we'll overthrow Western Civilization and kill all the Christians (whose Sabbath is Sunday).  It is not Brigitte Gabriel who is warning you; it is the enemy itself who is.

This is on of my favorite Malevolent Creation albums in my collection. I bought sometime in the fall of 2000. With this album, the band's line-up is still the same as the one on The Find Art Of Murder. So the band still conjures up those devastating tunes and this album is no exception. It's poisonous and it kills.

Now before my review, let me bring up something very important. There are 2 versions of this album in existence. The first version only consists of tracks from Homicidal Rant to Envenomed and that is the original version. This version consists of the same tracks along with 3 bonus tracks and this is Envenomed II. Both versions are the same actual album but different formats. I already have both versions and in comparing the 2, this one sound a little more better in production and sound and the bonus tracks totally rip.

Now for my review of the whole album. With this album, it's another direction for the band. This album you can say is experimental. Don't worry, there are no electronica or mainstream influences and the band has not at all changed their style. The reason I'm saying this is because there are some unusual musical passages on the album but don't get me wrong, it's still heavy-as-hell Malevolent Creation. First, you have Kill Zone which starts off as some black metal (triditional black metal without keyboards, Mayhem, early Bathory) passage but than it gets heavy as in Malevolent Creation and than the song ends with the same passage. Anyone who has heard the song knows what I'm talking about. Some people like it and others don't but I said the song is great. Another hightlight of the album is Pursuit Revised which is a duet with Brett Hoffman and Kyle Symons sharing vocals. This track will kick you in the face. The rest of the album is just brutally insane Malevolen Creation.

Now for the bonus tracks. The first track is a cover of Perish In Flames by Dark Angel (a legendary 80's thrash band that featured Gene Hoglan of Strapping Young Ladd). When you listen to this track, it sounds like travelling through a red, cloud-moving, apocylyptic, sky during an aerial war. This is a true geme. By the way, if you want to hear the original version, you can find it on Dark Angel's Darkness Descends album. That album is a classic and highly recommended. Anyway, the next 2 tracks are re-worked tracks from 2 of Malevolent's original demos. First, there is Epileptic Seizure which reminds me of something off Retribution and than there is Confirmed Kill which is basic Malevolent Creation. All in all, it is a great album and highy recommended to all the Malevolent die-hards and death metal fans as well. Some of my favorite songs here are Night Of The Long Knives, Kill Zone, Halved, Serial Dementia, Pursuit Revised, Conflict, Envenomed, Perish In Flames and Epileptic Seizure. Buy it and get envenomed.

If the violence in this book does not make your hair stand on end nothing will. And I mean brutal, evil violence. In this the third book in Robert McCammon's "Matthew Corbet" series that young man, now an detective for "The Hearald Agency" must track down the most evil villain ever to appear in historical fiction. All this after he and his mentor allow the animal to escape. I know that authors craft stories that sometimes ask the reader to turn a blind eye incongruities in the story that allow the players to get to where he wants them to go. But, honestly this is the first time I have run into where I have to conclude that the hero is stupid. The setting is the wilderness of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in the early Eighteenth Century. There are wild beasts, Indians and outlaws in the woods. Why then would two men be escorting a known murderer to his fate through such country have only one pistol between them? The book is a great read. The characters are engaging and the story pulls you along a break neck pace.  It's just the stupidity that is galling. Why aren't the good guys better armed? Why doesn't the hero call on the yeomanry to aid him in his quest? There are so many such questions that come to mind it isn't funny.

Its a story about love, hate and revenge.

When Christian, Indias boyfriend dies in a car accident, she turns into this horrible person and makes it her mission in life to ruin her dead boyfriends brother, Oliver, life. She bullies him all through high school, enjoying the thrill and the release his pain is giving her.

She has a reason, though. She wants revenge for what happened to her and because he hadnt been there when he said he would.

Oliver doesnt understand why India is being so cruel and, instead of retaliating he takes it all until high school is over and he can go away.

When they meet again Oliver is not that shy, closed off guy anymore. He hasn't forgiven nor has he forgotten. Now is her turn to suffer at his hand.

This book is an emotional rollercoaster. At one point you don't know whom to pity and whom to hate anymore. Youll just go from anger to pity, to hatred, to compassion and back to anger again with every turn of the page. Just when you think everything will be alright, something happens and its back to square one. Theres no time to get bored. I know I didnt. At one point I wished could read faster just to see what happens next.

I also liked how the author blended the past with the present a little piece at a time, taking care not to give too much away and spoil the book or and not too little and make it impossible for the reader to understand.

The characters are great and youll like every single one of them. You might expect them to be the damaged and always complaining kind but instead, they're strong in spite of the damage inflicted on them by their pasts.

All in all, Joanna did a great job and I cant wait to read the next volume, All About Me, since this one ended with a bloody cliffhanger. Yes, theres a cliffhanger BUT, you only have to wait until September 30th to find out how it ends so its not THAT bad.

Im glad I gave this book a chance.

Happy Reading!

Death in the City of Light: The Serial Killer of Nazi-Occupied Paris was okay. The guy was sick and greedy. It was horrible how he deceived the people. It just gets me angry that there are people who are like that in this world and even today.

my personal favorite Bodom cd is Follow the Reaper, but, thats mainly because that cd follows my musical compisitional train of thought very closely, that and its just kickass. anyways back to the topic of Hatebreeder which has alot of classicalish stylings in the solos and breif interludes, the growl could be a little better from the lead vocalist, but i guess it works. but over all its worth getting.

Taste The Sin is one vicious record.

Drenched in the Southern metal sound of peers Baroness and Kylesa, Black Tusk rip out a more ferocious, unrelenting take on the style of those bands. Violent riffs compete with varyingly troubled yelps/guttural growls for attention, underlaid by a solid if occasionally unadventurous rhythm section. Whether slow, menacing sludge or slashing, breakneck metal, the attitude rarely sways from outright threatening.

Although this overbearing violence may not be to the tastes of everyone, it's an exhilarating listen when in the mood for something purely brutal. If watered down radio-metal is destroying your soul, Taste The Sin may well be just the aural antibody you require to detoxify - or perhaps retox - your system.

Boy gets killed. Sister gets revenge against the Yakuza. To say anything more would ruin this oh so complex Gordian plot...not. Girl has machine gun on left arm which may or may not be better than the right leg. There are some plot issues, mostly involving biological impossibilities. For those who loved blood spray, I mean the fire hose "Kill Bill" spray, this film has plenty of that, plus torture.

Guide: No swearing. No nudity. Near rape. Idiotic cat fight

The fact that this miserable waste of a life is still breathing boggles my mind.  AB Towery was my great uncle and she killed him, Im sorry, BUTCHERED him, the summer before I was to meet him for the first time.  I cannot wait to hear when they are finally going to be putting the needle in her arm. Unfortunately its too easy a death than what my uncle was put through.  He fought her till he could fight no more.  Theres a special place in hell waiting for her.

I found the first gratuitous killings a bit shocking and then found myself getting used to it.  Maybe that is part of the point.  Enough violence breeds a comfort.

My review is on the reviews of this book,

It is very complex what we see in the world and what is written on page.  The few exerpts I read from the book and then read the reviews of those who already have an oponion of Islam.

It will not change the true story we see and read every day.

It only supports the anger and plain disgust by civil humans.

I stand by my country USA and that of other Demorcatic nations who fight the terroists where ever they are.  To see those creatures who call a holy war, kill innocent people in the name of thier twisted religion is too much.

The facts that are brought into this book, cannot be written for every event that happened.

History is brought forth from those who took note and by word of mouth.  So in many cases the history is embellished or changed to suit those who use is for thier own Gain.

The fact of terroists who use Islam as thier main course for Jihad is just use of evil.

My friend who is Kurdish, reads daily news and recieves phone call of his family and friends plight there in Iran.  Women and children shot while walking in the street by extremist leaders and there crones.  Evil is everywhere and it runs rampante because there is no control over self worth and true love.

They breed on another because of the ingnorance of Life.

Those who support Extremist behaviour are to be dealt with in an extreme way.  Cowards they are, those who claim holy war.

These holy war individuals who now take to opening bombs in public places and run like frightened women. Hide and laugh while thier brothers die in the streets, yet pat one another on the back for jihad. ugh.  They actually sleep at night?

There is no holy in what they do.  But evil awaits them to congradulate them in hell.  I truly believe that, they will get thier just rewards, do evil and you will meet evil, and not the virgins they are told they will get.  Oh by the way? The women who blow themselves up?  What is their reward for dishonoring thier womanhood?

This trap was not as easy to use or as effective as others that I used.  Zero catches.  Glue traps and other traps produced more kills.  The metal comes off track and has to be put back.  It looks deadly but other traps did better for me.
