You ho's

      -Now let us try for a moment try to realize, as far as we can, the nature of that abode of the damned which the justice of an offended God has called into existence for the eternal punishment of sinners. Hell is a strait and dark and foulsmelling prison, an abode of demons and lost souls, filled with fire and smoke. The straitness of this prison house is expressly designed by God to punish those who refused to be bound by His laws. In earthly prisons the poor captive has at least some liberty of movement, were it only within the four walls of his cell or in the gloomy yard of his prison. Not so in Hell. There, by reason of the great number of the damned, the prisoners are heaped together in their awful prison, the walls of which are said to be four thousand miles thick: and the damned are so utterly bound and helpless that, as a blessed saint, Saint Anselm, writes in his book on similitudes, they are not even able to remove from the eye a worm that gnaws it.

TABSLERONE

TWILIGHT

alright, so this band needs mentioning. i'll use math to make it as simple as possible. stay with me here, folks.

ISIS (epic, pretty post-metal) + LEVIATHAN (dark, horrifying solo black-metal) + LIVE DRUMMING - GENERIC LO-FI QUALITY ASSOCIATED WITH B/M + FORGIVABLE SNYTH LINES = TWILIGHT'S MONUMENT TO TIME END

these guys have been around for a while, but they haven't really mattered until the release of their most recent album, mainly because the line-up is fucking stellar with members from such fine acts as ISIS, LEVIATHAN, NACHTMYSTIUM, KRIEG, MINSK, THE ATLAS MOTH, AND XASTHUR. even if you aren't into black metal, you'll appreciate the production quality (layers, effects, etc) and sheer epicness that these dudes unload.

so download this. if the first track doesn't win you over, i'll stop posting music FOREVER.

I'll have to ask you to leave.

RIP Andrew and Mark's Friendship 2003-2010

this post is dedicated to the memory of andrew and mark's friendship.

lately andrew has been really distant from me. i try to talk to him, but he always shuts me out. now he won't even return my text messages. he has this impenetrable wall around him that keeps me out. how are we suppose to remain friends if he won't speak to me? i feel dead inside.

we have a lot of great memories together. this one time, andrew and i held hands and peed our pants together at the delaware water gap. now i wake up in the middle of the night crying, because i don't think well ever have another moment like that again.

official statements -

"i'll never understand why it had to happen the way it did between them. all i know is i'm stuck in the middle and i've never been this devestated." - Peter, Mark's brother and mutual friend.

"What's so odd is that I had never seen two people go from being so in love with each other, so in tune with one anothers feelings and wants and hopes, needs and dreams - to such hate. Such unadulterated bitterness and resentment. The animosity was palpable in the air whenever they were together. It makes me sick to think about such a beautiful friendship, lost." - Bill, mutual friend

"this is a tragedy. i really didn't see this coming." - Dan, mutual friend.

"confirm." - Andrew's older brother Pete.

i've tried all i could. let us now celebrate the friendship we once had. all that's left are the memories. and some really strange photographs.














(also, for fuck's sake, lets never use our full names on this blog. i'd like to have a future.)
