Black Metal Militia

So.

I studied for my test this friday. Slept for maybe 4-5 h before, went and did the test (hard as hell), went home and tried to sleep but I had too much caffein in my system so I couldn´t sleep. L got home, we made dinner and such and then I met up with O for some beers and shit with the rest of my class. Ended up with me getting into bed at 4 in the morning. Was supposed to be at work at 10, but overslept a bit. Woke up with a cigarette burn mark on my finger. Went to work. Worked (total hell) until 5. Got home at around 6 in the evening, crashed on the couch for a couple of hours. Woke up. Tried to eat something. Went into town to see Nice Idiot and Sanctuary In Blasphemy with a storming head ache around 9-10. Drank a beer and was a bit bored by SIB. Met up with some friend at the gig (that was nice) and went to Watains release party. Strange place and strange party. It was in the back room of Engelen, wich ment that there was a whole lot of "normal" people + a bunch of smelly metal heads , devil worshippers and neonazis. Fucked up. And the audience at the release party... It was like it was The World Championship in "Evil Shirts, Manly Tattoos and Stupid Macho Poses". And I got a bunch of evil shirts and manly tattoos (not that many macho poses, though) and I just really felt out of place. So we stayed there for maybe two hour (bought the new Watain CD. Totally brilliant, as always.) and I drank another beer. Met up with some people at the subway and talked a bit (talked with K and that is always nice. We always seem to be on the same wavelength. But that also means that we have a hard time hooking up, since we are both quite antisocial) and went to meet up with L. Then we took a cab home, went to bed. Woke up and went to work. Worked. Came home and watched "From Dusk Till Dawn" and went to bed. Was supposed to be in school at 9 am but overslept. Came at the second class att 1 pm and started the whole thing out by really getting bugged out by some of my new class "mates." One guy stared at me every chance he got. I swear, if he keeps it up I'll kick his ass. Really bugs me. And some fucking carrot top opened up a window next to us and went to sit at the other end of the room and when class was over he got all bugged 'coz I closed the window.

This is not a good period in my life. Probably not gonna pass the test. FUCK!


BUT:

You really need to check out Watains new album, "sworn to the dark". It's brilliant. It might not be too extreme musically, but the ideals behind the band... I have never known anyone so devoted to practice what the preach. It is truly amazing. The wholeness, from the live performances, to the T-shirts, to the homepage layout, to the album artwork, to the lyrics, to the music... It is so incredibly... It all works together and there is nothing there that isn't supposed to be there...

Hurra Torpedo

I got a problem. I started this blog so that I really could open myself up and write about everything. But I only write shit. Does that mean that I don't have anything to say? That there really isn't anything more about me? I'm starting to think so.

Kick Out The Jams

Bought myself a parka on sale. Wanted a black one but they didn't have my size left. Bought a green one. I'm looking like I'm into scooters (like vespas, you know?), The Jam, Madness and oxblood doc Martens. Especially with the glasses I have. But it looks OK I guess. It's warm. It's not that cold right now (it's snowing and stuff, but it's just barely below zero celsius), but it's nice anyway. Plus it might well get a bit colder. Winter's not over yet.

The studying bit is going alright, I think.

I fucking hate people born in the forties. Fucking hate them. You know why. Self glorifying, self righteous, arrogant, self centered bastards, the whole lot.

Gotta read a bit now.

Black Metal Militia

I've spent so much money on so much shit right now. It's almost unbearable. Well, it´s all good, but still... Mostly clothes, actually. T-shirts, to be exact. I don't need T-shirts. Don't really understand why I can't keep my wallet closed.





These are just the latest. Got a La Coka Nostra-Hoodie and a Israeli Defense Forces-T on the way to. But hey, the look good. Just one of the is my size, though. Good thing I can get to a sewing machine quite quickly.

Gotta read 200 pages of genus for tomorrow. Shit. I'm so out of shape when it comes to these things. I was on a roll last semester, but now.

Eddie Izzard's on now. No more time for this.

"this here sugar's much sweeter than Mary Jane..."

"...this here bitch is muthafucking crack cokaine."


Ok, part II of the never ending story of ordering shit online. Turns out La Coka Nostra (House Of Pain + Ill Bill + whoever.) done some zip hoodies, which kind of makes things a bit difficult. 'Coz I was gonna buy an Inquisition, but I'd rather support LCN ('coz LCN and Ill Bill are fucking awesome! His latest mix-cd is probably the only thing I listen to with any regularity.). And the LCN-hood is better looking. Only problem is that the Inquisition-hoodie is pretty fucking nifty and probalby more limited than your mommas virginity was.

People in the Thirld World nagging about not getting any food... They should grow up and realize that there are people with real problems in this world. :)

Anyways, check out their myspace-pages and give it a listen.

Money, money, money...

Ok, so I got my Cult Of Daath CD ("Slit Throats And Ritual Nights") and it's awesome. Great mix of black metal and punk. Even some D-beat thrown in there for good measure. Gotta pass it along. Got the VON-shirt to, but I've already been ranting about that one.

So, my problem for the day is tthe fact that I wanna order a whole bunch of shit from Hells Headbangers (corny name, but brilliant distro) and Hiberica, but I really doubt that I have the funds to do so. I ain't gonna order the things now, but when my paycheck arrives, but even then I can't really see how I'm gonna afford it. And I have really narrowed it all down to just the essentials. It really annoys me. A lot of the things I want is clothes (T-shirts and hooded sweatshirts) and you know... I need more warm sweatshirts, 'coz it's cold here during the winter (yeah, right. Thanx to global warming it's about 5 C warmer in New Delhi than it is in Sthlm.) and all. You can do that, right? It's not lying, right?

On another note I handed in the worst essay in the history of history studying. I am really ashamed of it, but it was the best I could do. I've been busy, you know? Been doing a lot during the 2-3 weeks I've been free from school, you know with like watching Simpsons and shit. Oh, and another thing. I got a 6000 word essay to write about the muslim countries early history by friday and I got the books today. I am so close to fucking this up.


And on a really positive side note my love for NunSlaughter has emerged again. Maybe not so much because of their musical capabilites, which is quite good (although the tend to repeat themselves too much and they really should cut down on the production pace and just throw some of the tracks they've made in the garbage can.) but because they are honest, humble and (cheesy but still) true. Seriously.

Hammer of Antichrist

That's the name of the Conqueror discography CD, and it is fucking awesome. Relentless, brutal, heavy, uncomfortable. Not as much as mr Reads later project Revenge that sounds much the same except even "worse", but still. Don't know which one I prefer, Revenge or Conqueror. With some sadness I think I'll have to say Conqueror. Conqueror is a bit more diverse and (dare I say it?) melodic. Not to say that it is at all melodic, but I think you might understand what I mean. Revenge is in your face audial rape without any kind of (as we say in swedish) krusiduller all the time, which makes it great in it's extremity, but after a while a bit... unchallenging? Conqueror are also in your face audial rape, but with a minimum (if there is a word for something less than "minimum" that isn't a synonym for "nothing", please let me know) of krusiduller. We'll see if it is C or R that wins this. I haven't really given Conqueror a chance before.

On the plus side Revenge has Peter Helmkamp. I'd reckon that Pete and I don't really share (and probably worse than that) that many views, but there is still something I really admire about him. If nothing else his uncompromising attitude towards metal, and the fact that while many of his lyrics and works are (for a metal guy) quite intelligent and intellectual, he has never wimped out. Quite the contrary in fact. Id you don't believe me, listen to Order From Chaos and then listen to REVENGE


I also got Archgoats new album. Totally brilliant and retarded. You can tell they are from Finland. I really really like this record (aptly titled "whore of betlehem"). Give it a try. It is totally ugly, disgusting and horrible. And a bit stupid, musically. Fans of good sound and fancy drumming, "singin" and guitarwork should stay away. This is about as straight forward as it gets.
