"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Hm, seems I turn my back on the metal world and they're popping out albums like candy.

I recently acquired:
Gamma Ray - Land Of The Free Pt 2
Helloween - Gambling With The Devil
Iron Saviour - Megatropolis
Iced Earth - Framing Armageddon
Nightwish - Dark Passion Play

So far I'm loving the first two, and 'Cybernatic Queen' off Megatropolis, the others haven't had a good listen yet.

Good to see Helloween do a good album at last, and anything Kai Hansen does is gold. :D
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I personally wouldn't bother with the new Nightwish album. It's just not the same without Tarja on vocals.

Speaking of vocalists, Altaria is recording their fourth album with their third lead singer. I think getting a new singer every couple of years is just how that band works. I have their first two albums, and they're pretty damn good.

Pig Destroyer's "Phantom Limb" is pretty good, if you're into grind crossover.
Stellar album! :rockon:

Other good ones...

Cephalic Carnage - Xenosapien

Nile - Ithyphallic

Obituary - Xecutioners Return
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Prowler in the Yard and Painter of Dead Girls were always my favorite PD albums. Them and Nasum are probably my favorite straight grind bands, but a band that fuses grind with black metal with epic ****, extremely well, is Anaal Nathrakh:
