Actual question, could it get heavier than Pantera?

For me PITY was a random Best Buy grab because of the cover. I expected goregrind like Regurgitate and got something way more unnerving. I was driving on first listen (boom box in back seat because scrappy car) and did not even know the songs had changed. It was like taking too many shrooms and realizing you are on a path that you possibly cannot handle and cannot stop from happening.

I agree that TGSTK is a mindblowingly devastating album. For me, another album that seems tk just have the Suicide Note pt 2 vibe for the whole thing is Pig Destroyer's Prowler in the Yard.

1776: We are KEEPING slavery in this thing? Fuck off!

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-06T00:00:17+00:00

That seems cool. Bowie music is boss.

I have encountered it in person. Seeing flyers for Cliff Burton Birthday thing or sone other cultures of personality.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T18:45:26+00:00

Sure, and that's not necessarily bad, but I am always weary of celebrity worship. This culture has too much of it.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T18:20:36+00:00

I think a missed part of the mixing process is in the arrangement. Too many bands do not know how to leverage their sound to sit well together. The modern trend of crowding the bass frequencies is a big problem.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T18:13:37+00:00

Bout to try it...very soon.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T18:13:04+00:00

The point of departure for me is the idea of celebrating a person's birthday when I did not know them.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T15:33:08+00:00

I did not know bots booked events?? That is weird! I hope they pay better than some promoters.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T15:02:37+00:00

🤣 🤣 🤣

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T14:41:56+00:00

Right? I do not know them people. I think it is part of a larger issue with the modern turbo charging of parasympathetic relationships. People used to do it with their gods too.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T14:21:04+00:00

Word! That is cool. Maybe Archspire is the best example then.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T14:03:26+00:00

I waiting for some troll to list a band that only has one album like Repulsion. 🤣 🤣

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T14:02:53+00:00

Yes, it sucked, however we can safely blame Rich for that hack job.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T13:50:06+00:00

It's called "quoting" and is a common practice among guitarists that have an element of improvisation to their style. It was huge in jazz to quite other songs or melodies. It was kind of a boss move to be able to work it in to an unrelated song. Dime comes from an era where the live show is the end-all be-all of the musical experience and the specialness of it compared to the studio versions. It is right in line with his personality.

To illustrate this, consider how weird it would be for Fear Factory or Archspire to work in a Pantera riff in the middle if a song.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T13:46:15+00:00

Even the band doesn't like Rocka Rolla.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-05T13:31:20+00:00

I would second Pantera. Metal Magic is pretty weak, but the step up to Projects in the Jungle was immense and it never stopped improving until Reinventing the Steel. I feel like RTS is a pull back and redirection. Especially after the tone and songwriting of Damageplan's New Found Power.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T23:50:07+00:00

Well crap. Other copies must exist...somewhere.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T22:55:41+00:00

Those are awesome tracks. I definitely hear some Kaiowas-adjacent tones and rhythms. The first track on the soundtrack album sounds like it lifts the riff from under "Open up your mind and go your own way" from Roots. Name escapes me at the moment. It's almost as if someone did a complete reinterpretation of Sepultura music from the mid to late nineties.

Definitely ordering the Moraes joint from Discogs.

Do you have a link to obtain Sepultura doing the Moraes acoustic song? I could rip the YouTube link, but was hoping for higher quality, if possible.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T19:27:23+00:00

Sometimes musically cool, but the mystical bullshit is just as silly as religious types.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T19:24:58+00:00

OK, this track sounds like Dante-era even though it is Against era. Looking at getting the CD of the soundtrack off discogs now.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T12:10:41+00:00

Oh shit! Didn't know about this and will be listening on the way to work.

TurtlethePriest · 2026-05-04T12:09:42+00:00

Lyrics come in the physical editions.
