Oh haaaaail yes! That's amazing, and it sounds really fresh. Fantastic!

The tape: Jordsjø - Jordjsø II The patches: Sigh - Scorn Defeat Sigh - Infidel Art Sigh - Ghastly Funeral Theater

It's been ages since Dark Funeral did anything of value (Diabolis Interium, 2001), but that cover art is really nice. Got a classic Necrolord-vibe to it, and it sure does resemble The Secrets of the Black Arts it tone and feeling. Makes me a bit curious about the album to be honest. Hope for something less polished this time around. I exect more of the same, though.

Going for an "anime theme" or not, that was incredibly catchy. I like it.

I'm getting so excited when looking at the tracklist for the upcoming Vektor album. What excites me isn't the titles themself, but the song lenghts. Long progressive thrash songs. 1. Charging the Void 09:11 2. Cygnus Terminal 08:15 3. LCD (Liquid Crystal Disease) 07:33 4. Mountains Above the Sun 01:22 5. Ultimate Artificer 05:04 6. Pteropticon 06:00 7. Psychotropia 07:39 8. Pillars of Sand 05:19 9. Collapse 09:22 10. Recharging the Void 13:36 That's really lenghty songs for a thrash metal band. The albums clocks in at no less than 73:21, and I know there's a 5 minute bonus track for it too. Lenghty!

Cheap Thrills - Pitch black comedy-thriller that's as hilarious as it's thrilling, with a small but excellent cast, nice direction and a twisted plot. It takes some time going and is very slow, but it's very rewarding at the end of the day. The humor, pitch black as I said, is most excellent and the film just gets funnier and funnier as the film goes on and gets quite daring after a while, as well as unpredictable. You just never know where the film is going after this and that event. And because of the tone, setting and feeling it's almost so that you feel bad for laughing at some of the event sin this film, but at the same time you just can't hold it in you because it's too god damn funny. The cast is more or less Pat Healy and Sara Paxton who played the two leads in The Innkeepers, Ethan Embry who surely does the role of his life and David Koechner who is great. They're the main cast, and they're all fantastic! I thought this entire film was god damn superb, and I'll even go as far as to call it a must-see. Brilliant!

If the internet is down I watch film/TV-series, play a game or listen to music, which is the exact same thing I do when I have an internet connection. If the power is gone alltogether I tend to light some candles and play chess or yatzy if my girlfriend's here, if I am alone I'll put on some music, play DS or read. If it's in the middle of the day I'll go play football.

No, I'm open to dating anyone, regardless of Race/Ethnicity.

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this band earlier, but this deserve a mention anyway: Guillotine Terror Crusty death metal madness with a strong d-beat influence with Will of Ssorc on guitar. Have released one EP and five albums since their formation in 1990, and is stilla active as far as I know even though it's been 9 years since last album. I'm not familiar with their newer outputs, but their older stuff rips and bands like Deathpeed, Death Side, Framtid and Gibbed comes to mind. No God Japanese Corruption

I'll easily recommend this album. It took me a long time to get into their debut, but now I more or less worship it. This sounds equally good. The band just continue what they were doing on their debut album: Thrash/death in the vein of old Kreator, Sepultura and Sadus. As straight-forward as it gets, but great as fuck. The only thing I don't like is the bass solo. No need for it at all.

Paranormal Activity 2: Tokyo Night - God-fucking-awful! No atmosphere, no suspense, no emotion, no nothing. What a fucking crapfest!

This is what I wrote about it a year and half ago: A 6/10 for me. Not awful, but it both could and should've been a lot better. It was like they went all random towards the end as they had went out of ideas and just choose going on for the hell of it. Phenomena is fantastic and really underrated. Fantastic soundtrack too. Goblin, Iron Maiden, Motörhead, Andi Sex Gang and more.

http://capeofbats.bandcamp.com/ After five demos, one EP, three splits and two live albums, vampyric black metal/punk act Cape of Bats got their debut album out last year. I think the album is fantastic! For most part it's a mix of black metal and punk, but every now and then theygo into deathrock territory, which I feel comes very clear on the magnificent Ultimate Evil (featuring Rikk Agnew of Christian Death). Great atmosphere, and at times, especially on a song such as Night of the Buck Knives, I get a real nice, campy feeling. Thoughts go to things such as 45 Grave, The Munsters and Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Highly recommended! THey got lots of stuff up for free on bandcamp btw.

Song from the upcoming Desaster album The Oath of an Iron Ritual: Black/thrash in the vein of Nifelheim, Bathory, Sabbat and Destroyer 666 That sounds great. Sounds a lot better than their previous two albums. Looking forward to this! Song from the upcoming Blizaro album, Cornucopia della morte: http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2016/02/23/blizaro-cornucopia-della-morte-nemesis-stream/ Progressive rock/doom in the vein of Italian bands like Goblin, Paul Chain and Black Hole. Sounds great! Two songs from the upcoming Wytch Hazel album, Prelude: http://wytchhazel.bad-omen-records.com/ Heavy rock in the vein of Thin Lizzy and Pagan Altar. Sounds very good! Greek black metallers Ithaqua will also release an EP this year. Last years demo was among the best of 2015, so my expectations are up high. Very, very high! No song online yet, though. But this will be massive!

Bandslam - Decent enough romantic drama-comedy. What impressed me about this film was the entire tone of it and how it managed to avoid most teen cliche's, its good plot and strong characters and stuff. It's actually an intelligent teen film that feels very different, but it was just too Disney Channel for me and didn't provide enough laughs at all. I thought both Aly Michalka and especially Vanessa Hudgens was very good throughout the film. It's not a bad film at all, but I just wasn't for me. I think my mistake was going into it hoping for a new School of Rock, which it wasn't. Think I would've enjoyed it more if I hadn't.

Yes, you are right. There are similarities, but we're taking about prison films here and you can only do so much when the setting is a prison. Think of 98% of all prison based film, they all tend to have harsh wardens, (very often sexually fused) attacks by prison innmates and periods in solitary. These things are almost key ingredients in any films set to a prison setting. What you have to look at is the characters themself, as well as the story as a whole, in which they both differ greatly. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure Stephen King borrowed/stole quite a lot from Escape from Alcatraz (book and film), like all great artists does, but these elements are small seen in the whole. The tone of the film, the way the characters both are and act. It's just very different in my eyes, making the films very different from eachother. The only similarity I find "weird" is the pet thing, the rest not so much at all.

SPL: Kill Zone - Fantastic action-crime with Donnie Yen, Sammo Hung and Simon Yam, by Wilson Yip, the man behind the Ip Man trilogy. Great and original direction, a very strong story with good characters and a fantastic cast really offers us a treat of a film. But the best part of the film is the action sequences which is remarkable! A real treat to the eye. The alley fight with Donnie Yen and Jackie Wu are top notch, and truly something special, and the Donnie Yen vs Sammo Hung and Jing Wu is fantastic as well. Obviouly, when filming this Sammo Hung was bigger than ever and it's natural that his stamina was worse off then before, meaning they had to cut his fight scenes a bit more than I like, which is a shame, but they're still badass, though! Donnie Yen vs Sammo Hung is incredible and they are both among my favourites actors and martial artists ever, so that's cool as fuck too. Likeable, yet dirty-as-fuck characters and a very surprising ending that took me way off guard, but I loved it. Our "good guys" are just as bad as our bad guys to be honest. Dishonest and dirty cops, but I like that. A lot. Wilson Yi really impressed me with this film. It feels very old school, yet modern and fresh, especially for an actioner like this. I thought this entire film was bloody brilliant! A modern action masterpiece.

I like both, but the only release I'll listen to by either band in 2016 is 13's Reborn, so this is an easy one for me. Girugamesh all the way.

Bad Milo! - A nice horror-comedy that offers a few magnificent laughs and a few minor laughs, but never qute manage to live up to its silly plot and great special effects. But the monster puppets, real blood and shit really does do this film a lot of good and makes it a lot better than it would've been without it. The monster puppets were fantastic. Enjoyable, but it surely should've been way more over the top. But worth a look! By the way, the monster completely looks like the offspring of E.T and a Ghoulie. Hilarious! The Lodger - Bone-chilling, atmospheric remake of Alfred Hitchcock's The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog with an awkward, yet brilliantly disturbing performance by Laird Cregar, and a sweet and charming performance by Merle Oberon. A real nice horror film with plenty atmosphere and great performances all over. Best part of the film is the shots of the foggy streets. What a thick atmosphere they create! Fantastic film!

Both are based on different books, but other than being about a prison escape neither films has much in common to be honest. Two very different films that focus on very different things. Both excellent too, but I prefer Escape from Alcatraz 10/10 times.

A History of Horror with Mark Gatiss - A BBC mini-series about the history of horror, hosted by Mark Gatiss. Well, it's not actually about the history of horror though, and as Mark Gatiss says at the begining of the series, this will be a series where he goes through his favourite horror films. So it's not as much about the history of horror as it is about his favourites. The first episode, entitled Frankenstein Goes To Hollywood, starts with 1925's The Phantom of the Opera and goes through a few classics from the 30's and 40's as well, the golden ageof Hollywood horror. The second episode, Home Counties Horror, takes a look at the Hammer Horror of the 50's and 60's, as well as a look at Roger Corman's Poe flicks and a bit about the folk horror flicks. The third and last episode, The American Scream, focus the 60's and 70's horror films, from low-budget films like Night Of The Living Dead, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Halloween, as well as films like Rosemary's Baby, The Exorcist and The Omen. As you can see there's alot missing here. But it was a fun and interesting watch anyway. Mark Gatiss later released the 90 minute film Horror Europa in which he takes a bigger look at european horror. Looks pretty neat!

Father's Day isn't anywhere close to the excellent The Editor if you ask me. It's decent, but nothing more. The Astron-6 team, the guys behind Father's Day (6/10), Manborg (8/10) and The Editor (9/10) just gets better with every film they make. Really looking forward to The Void which should come this year. I hope they manage to build further on their excellent development.

Cool! Lovely band with a very refreshing sound as far as VK goes.

Welcome to rapetown.

Finished Agent Carter season 2 yesterday, and I thought it was better than season 1. A bit darker, more serious and not quite as light-hearted, even though it's still a bit to child-friendly for my taste. But it was another very solid season and I am really looking forward to season 3.
