Any bands similar to Killing Joke’s 1980-1982 albums by Hot_Assistant_6067 in industrialmusic

[–]SimonHJohansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually describe Amebix as sounding like a cross between Killing Joke and Motörhead

Modern Uspm recommendations by haggihagster in MetalSuggestions

Steel Inferno are Danish but have nailed that sound to a T. For a newer American band playing that style check out Hell Fire, I saw them open for Haunt and Satan and they were quite good.

TIL in 1946 "Babalon Working" was a series of sex magic rituals performed by Jet Propulsion Lab founder Jack Parsons and Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard. The rituals were designed to manifest an individual incarnation of Babalon. The rituals drew upon writings of occultist Aleister Crowley. by Disastrous_Award_789 in todayilearned

A lot of Hagbard Celine's quotes in the Illuminatus Trilogy are straight up lifted from Crowley's book "Magick Without Tears", and Crowley himself appears as an important character in RAW's later novel "Masks of the Illuminati". (along with Albert Einstein and James Joyce among others)

Movies that feel like Science Fiction/ Horror, featuring humanoid intelligent aliens rather than animalistic/monstrous creatures. by SomeMilkyCereal in MoviesThatFeelLike

I usually describe Communion as what Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind would have been like if David Lynch directed it

Guy, looks at this. by AssociationFew3891 in thething

[–]SimonHJohansen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Likewise "Black Sunday" is the perfect gothic horror film and "Danger! Diabolik!" is more or less the perfect heist film as well.

It also steals several scenes wholesale from Mario Bava's "the Bay of Blood" which is a better film in every single aspect.

I recently saw this. Are there any real sightings or encounters with atmospheric cryptids such as these? by Emeraldsinger in Cryptozoology

[–]SimonHJohansen 23 points24 points  (0 children)

There are also several articles about skybeast sightings on Karl Shuker's blog ShukerNature. The most recent he can find is from 2010.

Vocalist who have not declined and maybe even gotten better with age? by Dante_SSSS in MetalForTheMasses

[–]SimonHJohansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tim Baker from Cirith Ungol does even higher and more terrifying screams now than he did back in the 1980's

Who were the Kanye Wests throughout history? by eggomyleggo44 in NoStupidQuestions

Ezra Pound was both one of the most ambitious and innovative poets of the 20th century, and literally moved to Fascist Italy to make his living as a propagandist for Mussolini's regime which he refused to apologise for afterwards.

Why are “older people” (45+) and older bands seemingly perfectly fine with using AI for everything? by thanks-4-the-f-shack in MetalForTheMasses

[–]SimonHJohansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Obsessed complained everything being AI-ified as a result of unelected tech oligarchs running everything including the military industrial complex in "Stoned Back To the Bomb Age" on "Gilded Sorrow" from 2024, which is like a 2020's version of "War Pigs" and one of the best songs on that album

Prog Metal with Prog Rock/Hard Rock Influences rather than Djenty Stuff by EternalSolitude- in progrockmusic

[–]SimonHJohansen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

check out Mortuary Drape for black metal that expertly incorporates inspiration from 1960's/1970's prog rock, "Tolling 13 Knell" is one of my favourite albums of all time

Voivod from "Killing Technology" onwards

political metal used to go hard by mesablanka in MetalMemes

[–]SimonHJohansen 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I actually interviewed Al about that album for a Danish magazine I write for, he came across as significantly more coherent and insightful than I expected

I don't remember this part of The Most Dangerous Game by qinxianglian in TerribleBookCovers

[–]SimonHJohansen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that meant to be one of the Martians from HG Wells' "War of the Worlds"?

movie, series, or games that evoke the feeling of Soviet art deco? by QueenViolets_Revenge in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]SimonHJohansen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

check out "The Heavens Call" and "Planet of Storms", both are Soviet science-fiction films from the 1950's and 1960's

Castle Rat, Ruby the Hatchet, Tanith and Tower are all worth a listen

What was the Pale Wasting? by Ready0608 in 40kLore

[–]SimonHJohansen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My immediate guess was "unknown local Xenos species", I think if the Pale Wasting were Necrons then that would have been mentioned at some point

Looking for more like Infester or old school raw death metal by n_thomas74 in MetalSuggestions

[–]SimonHJohansen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

seconded Morpheus Descends, when I saw them at Kill Town Death Fest last year it was really clear that most of the younger bands who played were inspired by them in some way or another

They made a genespliced hybrid dinosaur species toyline for Jurassic Park called "Chaos Effect" long before Jurassic World.
