1000% Agree on the bass comment here, it really gives the whole album this awesome character.

Goddamn this shreds, honestly surprised you didn't post War Outside the Wall, the drumming there is just insane.

Who cares dog, it's a number on a silly website it literally does not matter. Upvotes are equally toxic in that sense, you determine your value based on the votes of others? That's just treating your own mind as if it was a stranger.

Eh, I can not say that I agree that people's attachment to privacy is purely a matter of the current status quo. I think a human desire for privacy, at least in some contexts, is innate. Sure, I'll grant that it's extremity in the modern era is due to the oppressive and abusive state, but I think people have an certain in-born aversion to being overly judged and observed.

Well, I simply cannot agree that anything that would notably increase human misery could be considered optimal in the first place. So I suppose on first facts we simply disagree.

Well let's consider that logical validity, while useful for objective facts and conditions, might not be a good a benchmark for things that humans are emotionally attached to? Is it an unreasonable thing to point out that most humans simply do not (and will not) use the formal system of logic, even if trained in it, as the basis on which they emotionally relate to their experience? What I am trying to say is just that, while it might be logically valid it is not emotionally valid, and that really does matter. Would you enforce a world that is reasonable and logical, but makes the people who live in it uncomfortable and miserable?

most argumentation from your side is just common trolling or logical fallacies, which makes me think that I'm correct.

This, itself, is a logical fallacy. A fallacious argument is not "incorrect" or "wrong" it's just invalid, meaning it does not meet the formal requirements of logical validity, not much else. Things can be both fallacious and correct.

Bastards

I don't know what holds these dudes back, it can't just be the dorky name, people have overlooked stupider.

Gross, reds? Seriously?

How the hell have I never heard of this? This is excellent, this is perfect, this is what I want from thrash and no that's not the half a fifth of Knob Creek talking.

One of my fave doom metal songs of all times is easily the instrumental of Empress Rising. Not to dog on the vocals of the original, but it's pretty undeniably far more powerful without them. So, I see what you mean. That said, vocals/lyrics really are just the "sauce and seasoning" of a good metal track to me, it's just not quite right most of the time without it.
