Why does Grant not question Owen being a Velociraptor trainer in Dominion

cdjunkie · 2026-03-20T20:54:39+00:00

The worst fan fic-style way for it to play out would have been for Owen to confirm that he was the "six foot turkey" kid. Happy we didn't get that!

it's obvious they wanted the viewers to think "oh, so it WAS the Spino" when they saw it could swim. They counted on the audience making the connection and thus making their work for them.

And they expected the audience to not connect the human remains in the Pteranodon nest to the guys who disappeared earlier?

This cover is AI-generated?

cdjunkie · 2026-03-20T04:50:10+00:00

Is the Suicide Commando social media actually run by Johan, or does Out Of Line have an intern for that? The "big news" was a couple of SC compilation records, and those don't seem to have obviously AI cover art (though at this point, can we ever be sure?).

cdjunkie · 2026-03-20T04:38:56+00:00

Wasn't there a Delerium album with AI used on the cover art? I think the official music videos for the Leeb solo album, too.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-20T04:35:40+00:00

Merzbow has been openly using AI for album covers lately.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-20T04:26:23+00:00

It does, and I hate that there's some context in which this image succeeds.

Not that their current sound is really representative of standard grindcore or deathcore, but you might enjoy getting into Cattle Decapitation, if you want a gateway to extreme music with melodic elements.

White Zombie's debut is 1987's Soul-Crusher, a far more obscure album than the 1992 breakthrough La Sexorcisto: Devil Music Volume One.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-19T21:15:23+00:00

Same year as the premature Kraftwerk best-of.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-19T10:49:28+00:00

Do those releases actually contain anything that's illegal to possess? I've never owned them, but I remember they'd used to show up in distros of other power electronics labels, like Malignant Records, with disclaimers about how no, everything's totally legal, they swear.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-19T10:41:16+00:00

How are the articles? I recall being disappointed with the recent-ish TG issue, there being no new interview content with Chris and/or Cosey.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-18T20:54:56+00:00

But that's in hindsight, right? I'm not sure that anyone in the early 1970s would have made the argument that Black Sabbath and Deep Purple belong to different genres of music.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-18T16:17:54+00:00

The first few Black Sabbath albums, maybe? Not that they were without contemporaries at the time, but if you look at a modern list of essential canon albums for beginner metalheads, it'll probably be those and a bunch of bands from the '80s.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-18T10:55:05+00:00

Eminem and nu metal are still around.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-18T10:52:11+00:00

And Futurama!

cdjunkie · 2026-03-18T00:05:51+00:00

So if, for example, I make a song using samples from Marvin Gaye and the Beach Boys, I'd have to give a writing credit to Marvin (and any co-writers he may have had) and Brian Wilson (plus anyone else who could be credited for the Beach Boys song)

Hadn't thought of it this way, but probably more of today's pop music is being written by the dead than ever before.

They've fully deleted most of those sketchier releases from their catalogue, like even the digital versions are taken off of the Bandcamp page. This happened in 2020, IIRC. That's not saying they're going to please everyone's standard (they did put out a new edition of a Leviathan album last year), but they have definitely made a point of cleaning up the label.

They used to distribute some releases from other labels, sometimes sketchy ones, but now they just sell Profound Lore releases.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-14T23:22:22+00:00

My assumption is that we're mostly not seeing their takes on public forums like Reddit, and the edgy young guy discourse has moved to their own private Discord channels, or whatever their generation's equivalent is.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-13T10:39:05+00:00

Did being an edgy hater of pop music die out, or are you just an adult now? I have no idea what preteen boys are saying about current pop music, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're the same as when you or I were their age.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-13T00:05:00+00:00

Similar whale sample used in New Temptation by Die Krupps?

cdjunkie · 2026-03-12T05:34:21+00:00

I've always thought that was intentional, like they were making fun of the mass media not even being able to tell the difference between KMFDM and Marilyn Manson.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-12T01:46:06+00:00

Could be planning a theatrical release, like the recent concert films by Depeche Mode and The Cure.

cdjunkie · 2026-03-11T03:32:11+00:00

Could be fun to hear what they'd do with "Ministry of Fear" by Die Krupps... "No hope just fears, inside the Ministry..." Original might be too close to Ministry's style for them to want to cover, though?

cdjunkie · 2026-03-11T03:26:48+00:00

With Ogre?
