One month ends, another begins, blah blah blah… by the way, Queensland sucks

As you may have gathered from other posts during this month, June of 2012 was not a good month for me. Well, all bad comes with a certain lining of good, but that is all that the good in this instance really amounts to. A lining. And that good is in the form of making one of the toughest, most painful decisions I have ever had to make.

Lawnmower Deth. Awesome name, (mostly) awesome band, awesome… lawnmower!

When I was in my early to mid teens, I began to become acquainted with examples of the musical style that can be considered doom metal’s (and to a lesser extent black metal’s) baby brother: death metal. Death metal can, stylistically, be regarded as a lighter, less intense form of black or doom metal, but this is not the only dissimilarity. Whereas doom metal emphasises slow, crushing, even whining rhythms with an emphasis on bizarre and/or unusual harmonics, death metal tends to have a far greater tempo, for starters.
