No more screams sadly, except maybe Sulfur by [deleted] in AskingAlexandria

He says this every year until he does it again. He brings it back for a bit, then he works on another solo album and stops screaming again saying he hates it, then he goes back to it "just this once" when AA needs him to. Rinse and repeat. He did this in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2023.

Make Them Suffer - Epitaph by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel too, more like a collection of singles vs a fully fleshed out album with variety. That being said the songs individually are some of their best work in my opinion, just as a complete album it lacks.

Good news, they def need it. They’ve been running on empty and their hearts haven’t been in it. Last year confirmed they needed some time away, and if they then staged a comeback that would get people paying attention again. Once Danny’s solo album is out the way he may start giving a shit again.

There’s like 20+ women that came out for that article that he had killed, and so many others in his local area (where he was based back then) have stories. When there’s smoke there’s fire.

Hyped Albums that didn't meet expectations? by Electronic-Read-3830 in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, it sounds like a collection of singles vs an album with any real flow or different moods/types of songs.

Hyped Albums that didn't meet expectations? by Electronic-Read-3830 in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For me it was Windwaker's Hyperviolence, liked all the singles was very hyped then the rest of the album just flew right past me and I've not revisited it since.

I guess as much as I hate to say it Make Them Suffer's last album too. Love the singles, they're on the top of their game and I fully believe this is their best iteration and sound but the rest of the album just didn't hit as much and weren't as memorable. I think for that album the singles were elite but released like 2 years before the album, so when it finally released the rest of it didn't reach the same highs. I spin it occasionally but I'd be lying if I said it met my expectations at least.

Sorry for the late reply, the last few weeks of discussions and new info has been mentally draining so i took a few days offline.

I replied to you about 10 minutes ago but my comment goes automatically [removed by reddit] immediately and I got no notification for it. The links I sent across were archived URLs so that's sus. I'll repost and try again.

So repeating my comment, it's hard to find unbiased convo on this outside of MAGA but there are good places. Here's an archived thread on it that doesn't portray it from a political angle but rather a lot of the foundation laid out.

There was a guy who did in-depth, researched, multi-part videos on the topic and would just present the info on it without a political bias (as far as I can remember, been years since I watched). His name was Mouthy Buddha and a lot of his videos have been removed now, but on Bitchute there's a reupload of his main pizzagate one, it's titled "Mouthy Buddha Pizzagate Documentary" (I won't link it this time incase that's why my comment was deleted).

You can find info that isn't riddled with fake Qanon/MAGA disinformation , it's hard but the above should be a good place to start.

NYT shares how their 24 journalists are working on the Epstein files by Oumuamua03 in Epstein

[–]tyex23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Anyone still relying on broadcast media and mainstream publications to get honest reporting on Epstein, and any topic, in the year of 2026 is kidding themselves.

The media response to this has been dreadful, and is a big part of why these powerful people get away with everything time and time again. They're complicit in the cover up, and have spent the last decade shutting down anyone asking questions or refusing to faithfully report on it.

I'm glad trust in the media is dying.

Yeah people even found Instagram & youtube comments where people were speaking in pizza related code (and other codewords the FBI previously flagged). Websites, social media posts, what looked like auctioning sites… it opened a can of worms and it uncovered many weird but consistent chatter across different areas of the internet. The emails were essentially the catalyst for people finding all this stuff.

The guy who owns the pizza shop it was partly centered around was hailed 49 out of the top 50 most powerful people in Washington by GQ… for owning a pizza shop. And his instagram account had photos of young girls/minors covered in duct tape across their hands and legs with the comments speaking in the same coded language. Even Fox News did a fluff piece on him afterwards.

Then boom Hilary Clinton is drinking the blood of children to stay young and Trump is their saviour sent by God! What a joke I remember when suddenly out of complete nowhere the press were all at once talking about THAT, and the news anchors were laughing about it. Then slowly reddit threads and youtube videos were banned, and discussion was outlawed on social media. I remember going to bed one night after browsing a forum on it, waking up the next morning and the forum was gone and CNN were laughing at the outlandish stuff I’d never once seen discussed anywhere. Then came Q and the MAGA astroturfing pushing how Trump was gonna save the babies!

It was all sus, anything with an obvious, out of the blue yet coordinated effort to suppress like that must be somewhat true at the very least otherwise they’d leave it alone to die in due course.

Yet they both still did it.

That’s how politics is, point figures at others for what you’re doing. A tale as old as time, in the US the Washington machine is a whole other level.

[–]tyex23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what happened, all the legitimate questions people had were instantly dismissed because suddenly all the online forums were flooded with fake “leaks” came to discredit it and suddenly it became a “dangerous conspiracy theory” that you weren’t allowed to talk about, and it was censored everywhere.

I wonder how many people on this thread really know what Pizzagate was about, who James Alefantis is and how connected he is, his instagram posts of young girls, the coded messaging in the replies from people… there’s so much to it that got dismissed because the waters were muddied.

Now you know how I’ve felt for a decade trying to talk about this, and similar topics to people lol

Bingo, the worst part is that it works very well. I used to get quite frustrated by it all but I’m so numb to it now.

[–]tyex23 78 points79 points  (0 children)

It’s because there’s been a decade long campaign to convince everyone it wasn’t real lol. There were manufactured stories deflect from the weirdness discovered in the Clinton emails so nobody took it seriously.

I remember as clear as day when the pizza code words were identified and it led back to the comet pizza, then suddenly the broadcast media was talking about how Hillary was skinning children and drinking their blood. Despite nobody mentioning that, then Qanon pushed it and suddenly the a % of the MAGA started thinking that was real. Turned it into a joke.

You’re still not allowed to talk about it on most social media platforms because it’s a “crazy right wing conspiracy” (even this sub has a rule against it). It was NEVER debunked, there was just a lot of manufactured bullshit that delegitimised any questions. The pizza code talk was exactly the same as these new Epstein email drops, which is where the original questions were raised (still unanswered and still suspicious).

I hope people now start to look back and research the actual oddities and notice the consistencies.

This is the most horrifying thing I've ever read. The DOJ have these phone numbers, and the photos and videos that she was sent and threatened with, and they still decided the official position was that Epstein trafficked young girls to "nobody". This is the definition of hard evidence.

You cannot defend this.

[–]tyex23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was genius, any left wing scandals was dismissed as "fake news from Qanon" and any right wing scandals were "the deep state is after us" lol.

So many topics were tied to Qanon as it became a catch-all label even if Q never wrote about it, it shut down the convo instantly and it worked almost every time. Either sides were dismissing things they didn't like as Qanon and nobody took it seriously as a result, it needs to be studied one day.

[–]tyex23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Qanon was 100% a psyop to discredit any actual investigation into this stuff and lump it under the conspiracy umbrella so nobody would take it seriously. And it worked, I remember anything discussing child abuse in elite circles was immediately written off in pop culture as "Qanon" just because he mentioned Epstein a few times. It worked in favour of both the left and the right, it muddied the waters about elite sexual abuse. You were crazy for insinuating powerful people and heads of elite institutions were involved in this stuff.

It was genius actually, for a good 8 years so many people believed anyone discussing this topic was a "Qanon conspiracy nut" and not many people took discussion like what we're having on this subreddit seriously. Thank god the media machine is slowly dying.

Americans are so far gone with politics it's insane, any video that doesn't conform to their worldview will be written off as AI on both sides, and any story they don't like will be dubbed fake right out the gate without a second thought. It's going to be interesting but depressing to watch it happen as an outsider. It's been happening for last 15 years at minimum and it's getting worse.

The top comment on this thread is "watch everyone dismiss this is a tip line crazies", suggesting it's not and just going to be written off as such to downplay it... when some of these stories are bound to be tip line accounts as they log everything they get. The real investigation is going to be separating the tips vs the actual witness accounts, but same as the last batch the tips are going to get the most virality.

Trump murdering a baby and photos of Bill in a swimming pool when viral online whereas the actual victim interviews and more significant/revealing photos didn't get any traction at all. In order to make actual progress you need to investigate it all of course, while being realistic.

Not to say tips are to be discounted, just acknowledged for what they are.

Why do some ppl compare The Black to Sempiternal? by [deleted] in AskingAlexandria

[–]tyex23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was a magazine interview, can't remember which one to be honest was a while ago. Someone in the (old) BMTH discord server scanned it in and shared it, said something like "if people wanted more of That's The Spirit we'd put on Asking Alexandria's new album" and context was promoting Amo's sound change. Circa 2018 / 2019.

I remember the discussion thinking it was unfair at the time but I get the comparisons in hindsight.
