Pabst's success actually comes from years before the recession.

Pabst managed to pull of a strangely effective word-of-mouth campaign that made the long-declining brand an "ironic downscale chic choice for bike messengers and other younger drinkers who viewed the beer as a statement of non-mainstream taste," reports Crain's.

Let's call a spade a spade: Those "non-mainstream," "younger drinkers" are hipsters.

Usually found smoking European cigarettes and/or cloves, hipsters are known for their despise of anything "mainstream" and their fondness for irony. They listen to bands that no one has ever heard of and start fashion trends that are cool because…

Metal-Archives.com has approved my review of the War Master demo (2009), "Chapel of the Apocalypse":

If you haven't heard this epic leaden slab, you can fix that by getting the demo from Sound Exchange for $3.75 or the label, Torture Garden Picture Company.

"…For any career metalhead, it's impossible to hear the name War Master without thinking of the classic Bolt Thrower album of the same name. War Master takes the patterns of later Bolt Thrower, like For Victory… and IVth Crusade, and renders them in the simpler, messier and more rhythmic style of the first two Bolt Thrower CDs."

"…this demo is primitive and powerful grinding material; unlike the Bolt Thrower album, this material is less grindcore than old school death metal that grinds,…

I think it's true: your abilities and personality determine how you vote. You may be hardwired to be more conservative or more liberal no matter which party you're in, but nature's secret is that those attributes reflect the kind of role in which you're comfortable.

If you've got true leadership potential, meaning that you can go into an unknown situation and figure out a strategy and see it to completion despite unexpected twists and turns, you'll think like a historian when it comes to politics.

If you're a hard working, clear-thinking person, you'll do your best to defend society…

I've been seeing a lot more of this lately: normal person is going about their business, and some angry person is behaving like a jerk toward them, making fun of their musical taste, their college choice, their appearance, and so on.

While sometimes these criticisms are valid… here, they're just being used to make the internet jerk feel better about their own doubts about life. It's bullying, plain and simple. Except on the internet, you don't even need to be bigger to bully other kids. You just need to be angrier and willing to go on the attack.

Your attack…

Every minute of the day somewhere on earth a metalhead is being told that heavy metal is bad for you. To fight back against this pure stupidity, we've compiled a list of reasons including scientific sources that say heavy metal is good for you, and you should listen to it:

Stop Intelligence-Based Discrimination

Every day, people are denied opportunities because of their intelligence. They work just as hard or harder than others, are good neighbors and friends. But because they were not given the intelligence others have, they are excluded.

Think of how that would feel if it happened to you. You try your hardest, and get nothing for it, while someone else who was lucky to be born with something you don't have gets all the reward. You'd be hurt and angry.

Our society systematically denies people opportunity and reward for having lower intelligence. No matter how hard…

There's plenty of energy throughout the album, and lots of the highly musical intricate fretwork this band has become known for, as well as some of the most brain-seizing choruses since Black Seeds of Vengeance. It's good to see this longstanding outfit keeping up the pressure – on our eardrums. There may be a bit too much reliance on chanted vocal rhythms.
