so technically, we are still in autumn here in sunny south africa, but the cold is coming fast, real fast.
and that only means one thing, winter is here...
no don't make the mistake i hate winter, i really despise the cold...
but there is one thing that makes winter bare able for me, and that is when ladies break out the boots...
now for me there is nothing prettier than a girl wearing a nice pair of boots (except a lady in a summer dress), now may it be that they are flats, heels, ankle-, knee-, or thigh-high. it is damn hot.
so it is finally that time of year where the girls are gonna be suited and booted. yes please...
now seeing things like this on a cold morning, makes it almost bare able...
looks like this is going to be the season for me to be jolly again... ;-D
oh and this also means its time for me to pull out the old ass kicking boots again!!!
so the last week, was a crazy week to say the least...
but massive changes have been made, for the better.
i have left a lot of bad shit, and bad people behind me.
so firstly, i am not studying engineering anymore thank god for that, cause fuck, that sucked balls, I'm gonna start something new next year, so i will be back to make you fuck's lives miserable again, and yes i am also single again, but she is also now my best friend, and means the world to me...
but let me tell you this motherfuckers, the old bastard you all grew to hate and despise is back, and i aint gonna take no shit anymore kiddies...
Mankind in his insatiable search for divine Knowledge has discarded all biblical teachings Realizing that the strength of religion is the repression of knowledge All structures of religion have collapsed Life prays for death in the wake of the horror of these revelations It was never imagined how graphic the reality that would be known as the end of creation Would manifest itself We believe all this chaos and atrocity can be traced Back to one single event We hold these truths to be painfully self-evident All men are not created equal Only the strong will prosper Only the strong will conquer Only in the darkness of Christ have I realized God Hates Us All
so this post is long overdue, should've done it ages ago.
so a couple of weeks ago my mate mike comes up to me and says, listen dude I'm gonna go and take photos of the photos of the cosatu strike, do you wanna come with?
at first i was thinking screw that man, but then i decided to throw caution to the wind and go with him.
and i was so happy that i went. it was sick!!!
now upon getting there i did not know what to expect.
but holy shit it was amazing!! just the feeling of being there, all those people believing and fighting for the same thing. it was crazy, i really don't know how to explain it.
it was crazy, the only whit people there were us, and journalists. now I'm not being racist, but it was a weird feeling, to be brutally honest, i was a little bit scared. now the really crazy thing is, when you are standing there next to the road, the amount of dirty looks you get from the protestors, you can see they are talking about you, until they see, that you have a camera, all they want then, is their photo taken.
the photo above is mike taking photos next to the water cannon truck.
to the right is the one truck with a pa system on it, the truck where julius melema spoke his mind.
so it is finally here! Municipal Waste's new album is here, the fatal feast!
and good lord it is thrash up the whazoo!
the album kicks off with a minute long intro called waste in space, which really sets the mood for the album. after that the music stays true the original municipal waste sound that everyone knows and loves.
as with all the waste albums, they always have the humor element on their albums and once again it is there, with tracks like, idiot check, covered in sick/the barfer, you're cut off, and 12 step program. these songs give you a welcome break between the fast thrash off songs like, Repossession, unholy abductor, and residential disaster.
this is the bands first album on nuclear blast records, and also their longest album punching in at 38 minutes. the band might be getting a bit more professional but they have not lost that original thrash sound that we all love.
so once again its that time of year, where the leaves begin to change, the days are getting colder and shorter. yeah folks thats right here in the southern hemisphere its autumn and almost time for the winter chill.
it is a beautiful time of year where the leaves go from green, to rich oranges and from that to dark browns until they finally die, fall to the ground, slowly wither away and die...
I always find it funny how the change of season brings change in peoples lives. even if you don't want change, it still comes, good or bad, there is nothing you can do about it. unfortunate isn't it?
that brings me to my next thought. Why do people fight change? what happened to the old saying, change is as good as a holiday? Is it maybe because people fear this change cause it would change that which they have become used to, and they scared about whats new, and what lies beyond? interesting isn't it? give it a think and let me know what you guys think about it.
now if you guys remember, a few weeks ago I talked bait about the new Soulfly album, Enslaved.
well i finally got the album, and now I can do a full review on the the album that's being hailed as the lost Sepultura album...
now the album starts off with an intro song, interesting seeing that its soulfly's second album that has an intro (other album with an intro is Dark Ages).
the album starts off heavy and continues with a heavy theme, songs that you just feel the need to bang your head to. Bringing a very thrash feeling to thhe album
One thing I am happy about is the fact that they brought back the interesting musical components that made them famous, interesting musical movements with instruments you never thought you would hear on a metal album.
the heaviest song on the album is by far world scum, never stopping the constant onslaught of heavy guitars and an even heavier drum track, an amazing song, with deep lyrics, featuring the vocals of Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation fame.
other guest appearances include Dez Fafara from Coal Chamber and Devildriver and also Richie Cavalera from Incite and Zyon, and Igor Cavalera and Lody Kong. Dez Fafara appears on Redemption Of Man By God, and Richie and Igor Cavalera appear on Revengeance.
The Soulfly VIII song, and old stalemate on soulfly albums, this time featuring violins and a few other random instruments, another amazing track.
soulfly has again released another brilliant album, heavier than the previous and a must listen for anyone who has ever thought of liking a sepultura or soulfly song.
I give this album a solid 8.5 out of 10.
the new line up, tony campos, max cavalera, david kinkade, marc rizzo
