The End of the World According to Hypocrisy | Forum

The one thing that would bother me most of the things mentioned would be China. I've been a little worried about them for a while now, and the current state of affairs just adds to that.

I've been having consistently random thoughts within this context like I feel I'm about the right age to get the most out of life before everything goes to shit, more or less, i.e., not sure I would want to have a full life ahead of me.

There does seem to be a certain intuition that we may be at the onset of something rather ominous.

@CC,

It often happens with metal songs that I like the lyrics and general message but I can't stand the vocals.

I don't really see any danger from China. I see it more from Russia. If they really invade Ukraine, the middle Europe will face a refugee crisis. Our government is preparing new refugee asylums so something might be going on.

The global covid hysteria caused the democratic governments to temporarily introduce quasi-totalitarian measures, which additionally gave rise to multiple conspiracy theories but I attribute it more to incompetence than some evil plan. The reason for that is that I saw covid paranoia among ordinary people, including my coworkers and friends.

I love breaking news and this is going to be some good breaking news. 

And it's not like ISIS is invading a dirt village, Ukraine (And Belarus) are probably better off back with Mother Russia.  Dont worry, Poland is too Western. Though you all have the same pastry food, Poland has nothing to worry about.  

And why would Poland ever be a destination for fleeing Ukrainians?  That's like fleeing rebels in Honduras for the glory El Salvador.

Anyway.

GO RUSSIA! Fuck some shit up!

I felt the same way when I first started listening to death/black metal, and there was even a brief discussion of this in one of the threads back at the old 600 Club with the Darklight4444 character.

I felt that some of the music/melodies were very good but that they were fucking it up with the harsh vocals. I even remember emailing a track to a guy that liked Black Label Society and Zakk Wylde and he said pretty much the same thing "The music is good, but the vocals suck." - I believe the track was Follow The Reaper by Children of Bodom.

You do become accustomed to the vocals eventually, but still, there are different degrees of this "harshness". Bands like Hypocrisy, and Agathodaimon aren't really that harsh at times, and the latter even do some clean rock/operatic vocals that are quite good, Ribbons Requiem 99 also by the latter (later in the track) as one example.

Anyway, I still feel the same way about much of it, e.g., Cannibal Corpse, but there is also much that I do like after a couple decades of exposure to these particular genres.

Well... so far Poland has always been a primary destination for Ukrainian economic migration. I know how funny it sounds but we are for them what the US is for Mexicans.

Anyways, it seems the reds are back.

It's not that we want it. Now, these are not immigrants, they are war refugees. We have to let them in.
