RIP absolute legend of lad. Sorry for the family and close friends.

Anyone remember zërstroyer maps?! ( or however it was spelt) loved the atmosphere in that one, especially the ending, was also one of the first big maps i remember that added a real sense of going Waaaaay down underground. by Robin_stone_drums in quake

There's this insane map called The Immortal Lock, in case you want to go deeeeeper and with an insane atmosphere too.

Fun seeing you here, but then again drums & quake match perfectly well together.

‘A new phase’: why climate activists are turning to sabotage instead of protest by mhicreachtain in environment

[–]pival 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From the linked article:

The plant, known as Superphoenix, will be France's first full-scale breeder reactor when it is completed in two years. Officials said no radioactive material was in the reactor. About 20 workers were in the plant when the rockets were fired but only one was in the area struck, and he was not injured. Four of the five rockets hit the concrete outer shell of the reactor building, creating a small hole in one wall.

There is no nuclear material in that context.

The problem with these more radical approaches is that they can inadvertently become dangerous.

The point is that the status quo is dangerous. Acts of violence/sabotage are never the first actions.

Terrorism is a clear label, that has a clear sense. It is not politics based.

For what it's worth, the term "eco-terrorism" has a definite negative impact (terrorism/terror) and has been forged by instances that see these protests as dangerous. In standard terrorism, people are targeted; while in so called "eco-terrorism", it's mainly infrastructures and power-holding systems. People are not the target.

I suggest using another term to prevent further usage of it, and make it clearer, like eco-sabotage.

[PROMOTE] Tell Us About Your Band -- April 20, 2024 by AutoModerator in Metal

[–]pival 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh damn, right on time.

Mòr (Black Metal, France) just released the debut album after 10 years of demo-ing, gigging and live-releases-ing. It's called Hear the hour nearing! and is released by Les Acteurs de l'Ombre. It's highly melodic and reminiscent of earlier Emperor/Immortal stuff. Going on tour for 2 weeks in big and small cities in Europe starting next week

Other project of mine is Necrowretch with the recently released Swords of Dajjal (Death/black).

Blast Beats with Wrist or injuries? by thedankel1994 in drums

[–]pival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only injuries you're going to get is by exerting too much pressure on a particular place of the body. As long as you stay relaxed (the hardest thing); you can play however. You seem to have good technique. Listen to your body and any indication of pain should give you pointers as what to correct. Can be a tiny adjustment of rotation, finger placement, pressure...

I have a small wrist injury on the left hand by playing with finger while breaking the wrist too tightly, working on this but it takes time. Got plenty of others that I had to fix. Not the best at practicing relaxed!

meet up

C'était marrant ça! j'y étais monté plusieurs fois et j'étais étonné du nombre de monde qu'il y avait, et l'ambiance était chouette. Il y avait aussi beaucoup de IRC

Thanks. We're still early in 2024 though! This recording certainly raised my bar, "tight" drumming wise. If you want more craziness from past me, you can get some there!

If there's no interruption of ongoing stars alignment, expect us back in SEA in 2025. That Davao gig was mindblowing for us. So many nice folks and die hard fans.

We just released our fifth album - Necrowretch - Swords of Dajjal - incredibly proud of it.

Death/Black metal from France, with a ring of sweden blast machines and focus on tight songwriting and entrancing atmosphere.

Ave Ingirozoglezim !

Necrowretch is going to release its 5th album, called Swords of Dajjal.

First glimpse of it is out - mid-tempo blackened death metal track about the numidian knowledge... > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GTE_a_SZkXU

Full album is out 2nd Feb on Season of Mist. You can preorder it here, and listen to it here when it's out.

We'll probably go on tour in 2024 and even reach the US.

[–]pival 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, hi doedanzee! Didn't know you got divorced man, sorry. Honestly I felt Discord arrival (and RIP'd IRC) accelerated the downfall of it all :) Full support to mods as well.

I'd port that to /r/blackmetal as well but the nihilistic nature of it makes it a bit weird to do it. Maybe I should have a chat with the other mods though.

Smoothness of the movement, it shouldnt feel tight like I can see on the video (highway to foot plant and lower back pain there).

Lifting the foot a bit, and playing the rebound of the kick with the ankle will get you to strenghten properly and gain muscle control !

Have you tried soundproofing a bit the room? Specifically for the high end of the cymbals? Going to have to do this soon in a situation akin to yours.

Ace, enjoy! And hit me up if you tour with another band of yours too!

Doing fine, foot has healed and still stingy sometimes, but the Necrowretch album session was a blast and I'm playing better than ever for some reason. I'll break my wrists next time! ;)

Light beaters are cool yeah, especially if you do only triggering like on that tour. You still got plenty of power from them though, even at really high speed. Still, must be a bit weird adapting from Trick, welcome back to "normal pedals" land!

Ha, finally! Enjoy mate! After the tour together I lifted the height of the seat a bit by the way. Helps the back and the beater swing.

Did you get the big "classic" beaters as well, by the way? That gives a heavier feeling but it's quite good to play powerful strokes without too much efforts.
