Open letter from Chris Grigg of Woe to Hunter Hunt-Hendrix of Liturgy[views:152290][posts:282]____________________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 4:11pm - GregD-blessedoffal ""] Arrogance usually ends badly. It's only a matter of time before some one takes his head off with a hay maker. And all the circular logic in the world won't stop that. |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 4:15pm - BlessedOffalNLI ""] the thing that is really fucking with metal is all the over analyzing and caring about what others do so much. Who gives a shit about this toolbox hunter? Does his presence make A Blaze in the Northern Sky any less great? Posers have always been and always will be around. Focus on the worthwhile and just ignore the worthless, its not that difficult. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 4:15pm - xmikex ""] In all seriousness. The new Liturgy sounds like Poison the Well sped up and double picked. |

| _________________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 4:31pm - arkquimanthorn ""] this guy is really basing his whole life and reputation on this "thesis." i'd like to see where he is in 20 years if he's still breating the same air as us degenerates. |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 5:03pm - goatcatalyst ""] Fuck that buttdart. His music and "thesis" are both underwhelming and merit 0 attention. He'll choke on his own arrogance. Someone desperately needs a pisscupping. |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 6:02pm - goatcatalyst ""] I'd love to agree with you, Frank, but the loss of Union Pool would be too much for me to bear. Best venue south of Ralph's. Their taco truck virtually balances out the hipster scourge. A buttdart pogrom would be more apropos. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 6:29pm - arilliusbm ""] let us loosely connect the dots, shall we? [img] ^Liturgy band photo. Gotta love the krallice shirt. [img] ^krallice band photo. Gotta love the drudkh shirt. 14+ ^ number of unofficial myspace sites Drudkh had at one point in 2006 and 2007, before the label launched the official one in 2009 and rereleased all of their material to the masses. Drudkh, a once great band who reestablished the "drone" sound with a modern sound and eastern european/slavic tinge, are responsible for this simple-minded 2 chord "black metal" with 4 reverb pedals and transcendental attitude. It's all Drudkh's fault. Blame Drudkh, Metal-Archives, Myspace, and people who'd rather download music than hunt for original copies of Drudkh's albums. And the internet. Trancendentalist Black Metal wouldn't exist if the internet hadn't exposed Drudkh to these chaps just a few years ago. Best thing about it? Drudkh still quietly goes about their business making good music, albeit different than their past material. And they stay quiet. BRING BACK HATE FOREST. The end. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 6:49pm - arilliusbm ""] I agree, but I'd cut that number into a much smaller one :P Even though I was joking, there are a number of issues on why this "transcendentalist" nonsensical shit started in the first place. Same thing with "hipst--" er, "soft and postmodern" "blac--", er, "metal" exists. but, like the true fans say, there's no reason to dwell on it. I've stated my stance on how we should try to hold onto metal's values before they're pissed on, but it's too late. Alas, I must learn to accept what is, and listen to what was. |

Just sayin.' I could. I just don't get why dudes need to mash dicks together to see who goes soft first. Or, I don't understand the need to care or protect something, that cannot be protected. As long as there is quality people, writing quality songs and performing quality shows, the shenanigans of some should not matter to the many. A court jester is best left ignored. |

The music is all Elton John, but there's NO TINY DANCER!! What the fuck is up with that? The movie is gnomes, SHORT things, dare I say, TINY. and there's a scene when they... wait for it.....DANCE. |
| ________________________________ [Jun 13,2011 9:25pm - burnsy ""] I thought chris made good points. It was well written, I guess I'm glad somebody had the time to put something like that together. I really don't care about liturgy and this manifesto nonsense. Focus on the tunes ya fuckin' pettifogger. |
