some more something

I'm updating a lot more suddenly. No particular reason and its all mostly crap but here I am anyway. Been tripping quite a bit on CRASS and Goatwhore and a bunch of other bands so thought I'd do a video only post with a bunch of you tube links but then I couldn't figure out how to so I'm just going to ramble some more.

Goatwhore's new album which I spoke about earlier as well is fucking intense. Probably their best since Funeral Dirge for the Rotting Sun and some truly awe inspiring riffs on this one. They even go melodic on a song with pretty good results.

Steven Erikson's Toll the Hounds also is pretty kickass. The Malazan Book of the Fallen is now only two books away from completion and some of the stuff in this eighth book will leave fan boys stunned. Anomander Rake is the pivot in this book and while it's populated by a whole bunch of the more important characters it's beginning to look more and more likely that endgame will be played out mostly by Shadowthrone and Cotillion. Can't wait and also can't really believe that I've invested so much time into this. I started reading Gardens of the Moon when I was in college. Damn. I should pat myself on the back.

I'm not the beast they've made me out to be
I've done some good things. Done some good things.
Like you, I've stumbled once or twice
Done some bad things, yes I've done some bad things
My body is a thing corrupt and wrong
It is guilty. Yes, it's guilty
My spirit is the thing that's dragged along
It is innocent. Lord it's innocent

Oh, separate my body from my soul
Oh, separate my body from my soul

Let's go back to how things were back then
When I was younger, when I was younger
Everything was either black or white
It was easier, so much easier
Now everything it looks so grey
I'm older, now I'm older
Show me a man who deserves to die
You cannot convince me, you cannot convince me
Show me a man who deserves to live
You have no evidence, you have no evidence

Oh, separate my body from my soul
Oh, separate my body from my soul

I tried so hard to tell you truths
But I lied to you, Oh how I lied to you
The things that you think you know so well
They are fleeting, Yes they're fleeting
You're the one who told me who I was
You said "You're no one." So now I'm no one.

Oh, separate my body from my soul
Oh, separate my body from my soul

I love Those Poor Bastards. Best band I've found in a long while.
