RIP

Joey Jordison has passed away and that life that was slipknot and juvenile angst suddenly seem to feel like a piece of personal history. Has it really been that long since we were screaming to Iowa and headbanging in unknown rage?

Binge eating and slipknot

Not the one for having eating disorders or having an unhealthy relationship with food whatsoever, I am able to restrict and keep my diet and food wholesome and clean usually eating a lot of vegan meals and what not but there are some days when I feel like stuffing my face with horrid sodium laced, deep-fried, crunchy foods and it's on those days that I feel like I could have my own moments of weakness.
It's not a good feeling knowing that I could be tempted and if that is what makes us humans then by the dead I'm too much of a human.

Listening to the new slipknot album and after repeated hearings, I think the song Nero Forte has made a house inside of me because of how old school and totally slipknot it sounds with a bit of their evolution peeking through. It's not nearly as bloody and raw as Iowa but it's pretty good!
How is it that Corey Taylor's vocals sound so good in Slipknot and totally gay in Stone sour?

As a lover of all things post-rock and post-metal, I somehow can't love the long echoing dialogues from a lone voice talking philosophical stuff in some songs. This is quite prevalent in Mogwai and I have not the patience for it.

However today I needed something heavy, hard and mad which is why I turned to slipknot and listened to their new album 'Unsainted' and Corey Taylor, as usual, is pretty good with his mellow vocals transitioning into screeches but what on earth happened to the band apart from me growing up that is.
Suddenly it sounds tired, bored and I'm not going to begin comparing their new stuff with the old but it's not the same frenzy as one I heard and felt before.

Saddened I clicked the Ghost song recommendation and felt better, much better and followed 'dance Macabre' with 'rats' and 'square hammer' before finally landing on 'Gojira' and they never disappoint .now I'm ready for everything.

There's a drawing pending which I started with smearing some paint on paper and I think I'm going to complete that while listening to 'Black Knife Caine'.
This Wednesday looks to be pretty hardcore.

Tell stuff, darling.
