Enslaved tour ran into a hitch when a Christian band was put on the bill. They canceled the concert instead of sharing the stage with Christians.

Corpse flowers are rare plants that when they bloom, turn purplish-brown, crumple like a dead thing, and emit a stench of rotting flesh you can smell a while away.

The Houston Museum of Natural Science has one that's getting ready to bloom. Get ready with this playlist of death metal (via YouTube) with corpse flower themed songs.

I hate all hipster metal, including Deathklok and other twee "ironic" bullshit.

I'm starting to use this on random people:

Come on, be open-minded, try some death metal.

I think it's fair game. People always tell me I'm closed minded for listening to too much death metal, black metal or classical, so it's fair enough that we turn the tables around and invite normal people to enjoy death metal. Because it's fucking awesome™.

Interesting group – looks for parallels between baroque and early music, and heavy metal.

The big picture of Johannes Sebastian Bach won me over, just thinking of him kicking back to enjoy a Demigod album.

Divine Eve's Vengeful and Obstinate a three-way cross between Entombed, Motorhead and Cathedral. More technically adept than most doom metal, it alternates between two-chord riffs that are pure surging rhythm and longer, plodding, doom riffs that reduce your soul to ash. On top of the thunderous doom melodic guitar leads both echo and play with the melodies of those long riffs, opening up the sonic space of the album to more possibility.

An interesting view of how well this innovative band adapts to a heavier style.
