And now we come to the final abomination on this web page. This is the part where I review releases from bands which you've probably never heard of and don't care about. Be forewarned that this is not MTV. You will not find many shitty plastic trend bands listed below. What you will find is a selection of hardcore/death metal/underground releases and other bands which I like or dislike enough to review. I don't pretend to know what I am doing. Fact is I'm really bored and I'm out of beer, so take it for what its worth. Most of these selections are taken from my personal collection. Having already bought a copy of whatever work I am reviewing, I am probably already a bit biased. Nonetheless, I will attempt an honest review. I will also try to put up pictures or links wherever possible so you can get second opinions. If you have any comments or are a member of one of these bands and would like to kill me, the E-Mail adress is below. With that out of the way, lets get this over with:

Hey fuckers. This is probably going to be my last update. For all intents and purposes this site is done. I completed most of the updates I wanted to in six months of intense labor. The code has all been updated for the most part and I fixed a lot of the graphics and developed some fucking awesome backgrounds. At this point the only thing I can do to improve shit around here is learn CSS coding and pay for a real site instead of letting geocities consistently ruin this one. I haven’t got the fucking time or patience to devote to learning all the new gay computer geek shit that’s supposedly changing the face of the internet. It all seems like bullshit to me. HTML was simple and efficient and made sense. I can’t even begin to understand or care about this new shit that makes what was previously one line of code into 20 different kinds of fucking codes. I’m not getting paid for this and I have better things to do. On my second point, Geocities has fucking raped this site for all it’s worth by throwing up ad banners that take up half my page and limiting my bandwidth to the point where the site is down every single time I check it. To that end, I’m mirroring this site in Angelfire and updating all the links so they will lead there. That will break up some of the bandwidth and allow my backgrounds to stay and serve as my final fuck you to geocities. I was going to pay for a domain name and private site, but Geocities strong arming me by fucking up the free site I’ve had for years doesn’t exactly give me a warm and fuzzy feeling about giving them my money to get their shit off my page. I never wanted a pay site. Like I said in my last update, when I started this page seven years ago the point was just to get a free site to make fun of shit and talk about drinking and death metal. I was 21 then, in college with no responsibilities, drinking heavily and going to shows every weekend. I’m 29 now, have a full time job and a kid and a lot of fucking bills. The last thing I’m interested in doing is adding a perpetual expense to my budget as protection money so Geocities doesn’t shut this site down. And honestly I could fucking care less. I don’t have the time to write reviews or update as much anymore and most of what I have to say has already been posted. I might do some updates to Lyrical Warfare because I just started that page and there’s only a couple of reviews so far. The rest of the site is more or less done though and I don’t feel the need to keep updating just for the sake of updating. For anyone still interested in any of this shit, I have a profile and some additional info, possibly a blog, started at www.myspace.com/fallenempire2000. I’ll also be spending some time with my industrial death metal project 20 Days Of Darkness. Look for the name because it’s gonna be bigger than the Beatles. We’ll all be fucking supermodels, shooting up, and blowing rails off of platinum CDs a year from now. I just downloaded like $10,000 worth of mixing boards, and synth, guitar, and drum effect programs for free. Limewire bitches. There might be a site at MP3.com once we get some fucking songs written. So that’s basically it for this site. It was fun for a while. Remember don’t trust the government, the far right are an exciting mixture of incompetent religious freaks and truly dangerous people, and the far left are a bunch of shrill, whiny, hypocritical bitches who would be just as dangerous if they were in power. Choose your own path in life. And that bullshit that clear channel plays is not fucking metal. I’ll leave you with my final reviews for 2006. Acid Bath is and always will be the coolest fucking band that ever existed. They only released two albums so it would be pretty hard for you to fuck this up. Go and buy both of those CDs, drop a couple tabs and put that shit on repeat for about ten hours. You can thank me later. For people who still listen to the radio, pay attention because Tool is the most important mainstream band playing today and Maynard's been holed up somewhere for months working on a new album. Anything they release is going to be the best album of 2006. All That Remains is the best band playing in the underground right now, they are truly talented and would be huge if anyone had the balls to play real metal on the radio, take my word and buy anything they put out because it's going to slay these other poser commercial metal bands. Pink Floyd and Black Sabbath are the most important bands ever to exist, you should already own everything they put out even that weak shit when it was only Tony Iommi in the band or when David Gilmour was trying to sound like Dire Straits. That shit is better than 90% of the records you will ever buy. Throw out your Slipknot and Staind albums and pick up as many Mercyful Fate and King Diamond records as you can find and listen to that shit over and over. Homeboy’s a certified member of the church of satan, has a four octave vocal range, still rocks the corpsepaint, and has been doing the same shit for 25 years regardless of trends. That’s fucking metal. Later bitches.








Some emotions are so deeply rooted that only the hideous abuse of an electric guitar and an untutored scream will do to express them.
