Crouching over my stereo eating cornflakes with milk while bleeding my ears to some good old Impiety, weird. Listening to a substantial amount of heartland metal lately. A lot of local music ranges from barely tolerable to utter shit but there are a few gems, and there is a tiny but dedicated fanbase I guess. The rest of Singapore downloads music and quarrels about it on Stomp forums. Quaint.
PS: Aside from the obvious Impiety and Abhorer, Heidon, Xanadoo, AotS, Ironfist, Oshiego, Helvette/Sect Insanabilis(see Triumvirate:Coalition Of The Despised, the 3 way split with Exetheris). This is good Singapore music. Not some "indie(yeah right)" musicians who write freakin national day songs. Am in the process of writing reviews for them on metal-archives, but gotta grab some of their shit first.
Oh well, I guess this whole post has got to be about music. Metal and accessibility shouldn't go in hand. It wouldn't be the same if it was popular. I listen to good music first and foremost, but one of the bonuses of metal is knowing how evil, disgusting, unholy and noisy it is for outsiders. That's where being a nondenominational christian and knowing more about it than most sunday schoolers is so fun, scaring them with these lyrics. Honestly, people are disturbed by this.
Well what do you know, someone already got disturbed enough to mention it to me. Hence I've taken lyrics down, but wow, you people, wow.
