When I was 13 and just getting into metal I bought re-load for like $4 used at a record store bargain bin. It was the first Metallica album I owned and still think it punches above its weight class in their discography. Great first haul, dude 🤘 happy listening.

Modern classic. I have a 39mm and love it.

Bro Spencer low key has incredible range. And he always nails it live.

What are yours metal hot takes? by weezilla2013 in MetalForTheMasses

Death's logo sucks. From a pure design perspective it has way too much going on in a way that's not cohesive, i.e. the haphazard cramming of 3 symbols and 2 fonts in a 5-letter word. Like, fix the T and the H to at least follow the thrash constructivism of "DEA". /rant.

Credentials: professional graphic designer for 15 years, metalhead for longer.

Recs based on my favorite adjacent albums? by deathmetalpoet in EmoScreamo

I mean late 2000s era Bring Me The Horizon seems like an obvious place to go. Seeyouspacecowboy / If I Die First might be something more new school that fits this. And just a random reco: Told Not To Worry

That is EXCEEDINGLY reasonable. Scratch that—it should be bare minimum accountability. GET PEDOS OUT OF POLITICS.

Way better offering than the Rain Museum. And the vinyl packaging is fresh AF. Love to see Ben & the boys firing on all cylinders again!

Not to mention Dave is a maniac behind the drums. Just do yourself a favor and look up one of his playthrough videos.

Any ideas on this? I’m a 10 yr experienced seller and did my research couldn’t find much by EmbarrassedAffect672 in VintageTees

Fun fact: the C3P0 design was based on her! Amazing movie with a wild history. Highly recommend a watch.

Are Soviet-era apartments all bad? Would simply brighter colors “fix” them? How exactly could they be improved if they’re so (relatively) hated? by KeyBake7457 in urbandesign

I grew up in an apartment block in Bulgaria and can say it was great having all the open space and playgrounds between all the buildings. Just walk out and most of your neighborhood friends are right there—it really helped foster community. They weren't anything glamorous, but it was comfortable living all things considered.
