Death Metal

[Chasing Embers]

BTW, DM are still hanging around here? Has anyone 'seen' deathmetal on the forums lately? I've missed his posts.

I think he got banned.

If he was truly banned, he would have been Stalinized: His avatar and identity would have vanished. He'd be one of the Anonymous.

Great photo! Must have been well before Photoshop. Highlights and shadows on the men who are left pretty good, but the water and railing cloned in is dreadful.
Done with double or triple negatives and masking? This amateur photog wants to know!

Questions like that will earn you a very long vacation at the Hotel Siberia.

By repeated, dogged listening I grew to like a couple of Charles Ives' works.

Avant-garde Coltrane is not only musically challenging but discordant.

Death metal is about violence and has continuing reference to black magic, and though surely naive, I find this evil.

Rap is a ghetto perspective lionizing violence and misogyny.
Miles Davis Turnaround Phase as performed in Vienna is about as far as I'm prepared to court cacophony as art.

This must be the Kinder and Gentler ban hammer.

Javan didn't say DM was banned, just that he's not a member any more.
If true, perhaps it was self initiated.

Ok thanks for the information CE and woodsroad. It seems it was one of those gentlemanly parting of ways...

I'm always in awe of folks who see a silver lining in a tornado.

I read the thread Chasing linked. Couldn't see any reason for banning there. Except maybe the fact that the thread was political from the beginning. Is that it?

 

[perdurabo]

DM got Leninized. We have him in his own mausoleum, you can see him for free, or donate to the cause.

 

[workman]

Well I don't think he'd approve of the formaldehyde treatment. Death Metal people are really into rotting flesh.

 

[perdurabo]

Chasingembers, that thread really doesn't offer a reason why he got banned, but just discussing it and questioning mod decision is against the rule. I feel a trimmer in the force, this one will be closed down soon. Oh well.
By the way, That thread didnt start out political, DM never recommended a politician to support. He wasn't participating in politics.

Never said it did, just that it implied that he had been.
