Not bad, other than the vocals, really. The intro made me think of something out of the C&C soundtrack  😛

Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra

    They're starting to grow on me, and the band really doesn't even shy away from making sappy romance songs. It's hilarious and fun.

    BABY BABY TELL ME MORE OF YOUR LIES. SAY YOU WANT ME FOR A LIFETIME! ;)

But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

    "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

    Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

    My YouTube recommendations are (until I close the Private window) just cheesy music videos for metal.  At least have something to bombard the snobby metalheads in my company with 😄  But think I'll listen to this band today :

    As I fire up Winamp and it selects my Judas Priest songs....I've been unfair calling Beast in Black and others cheesy.  Good Lord, I should delete these.

    Why aren't there more Maori metal bands flooding the scene?  🤔 Not only their language is naturally metal, so is culture!

    New Immolation joint in February.

     

    With this, Total War: Warhammer III, and Elden Ring that month is going to be pretty exciting.

    Dangerously high levels of confidence...or low levels of shame, depending on your point of view.
