Heaven Or Hell


As a young metal fan, I would often turn to books that were written to inform parents about how bad, evil and satanic metal was for information about bands I should check out. Yes, most of those books dealt with hidden messages in songs like "Hotel California", and people like Alice Cooper...but from time to time you'd get lucky and get a book (as I did) which mentioned a band like Death or Slayer. Though the tone of these books was decidedly religious, I chose to bypass that aspect hoping to get some nuggets of information about some crazy metal band I'd never heard of. Clearly, times have changed. These books are barely printed anymore. Metal and rock have gone from being the main concern of christian authors, to merely being something that can be co-opted (that term again). When searching in christian bookstore's sites for "heavy metal", all I got were guitar tab books. Can you believe it? Turns out, metal is not christianity's public enemy number one anymore. Perhaps the muslim faith in general fills that role now. Consider the image I found while searching for a cover of one of these anti-metal books. Rock and metal aren't scary anymore. What a bummer. Both can be used for a purpose now.




So, back to those books, overtime reading enough of them would sometimes get to me. I was 11 then, so I would still ask myself some questions: Heaven or hell? Is hell real? If listing to this music was really going to send me to hell...would hell be such a bad place? I mean, Slayer would be the house band...so that's not so bad. With that in mind, I leave you with these two videos so you can make your choice over the weekend. Where do you want to go? In making the decision, please disregard Tom Araya's current catholic leanings. Just remember Slayer as evil as they were, or as they seemed to you when you were a little kid. The choice is still obvious to me.

Ross Bay Workout Gear


Look at this fucking dork (a Euro, of course). He recently sold a Blasphemy Fallen Angel of Doom "weightlifter" shirt on eBay. According to the item description "This is OFFICIAL and years old, for the Blasphemy members and the bodybuilderSatanicSkinheads incrowd! I prefer to wear Hugo Boss so I'm selling this to a REAL man!!!"

1. First of all, who the FUCK are the bodybuilderSatanicSkinheads? I've heard of bodybuilders, Satanists, and Skinheads, but is there really a group combines all three of those subcultures?

2. Hugo Boss made some killer Nazi uniforms back in the day, but I'm not too into their contemporary designs.

3. It's obvious this puny fuck has never worked out a day in his life. Just look at those skinny arms. No biceps, no triceps, and he's desperately trying to stick out his non-existent pecs.

4. Posing in a ski mask with a knife doesn't make you look tough. Take your fucking thumb out of your pocket.

5. Posing in your white-tiled bathroom doesn't make you look tough either.

6. Unless you're a guido or an actual wifebeater you shouldn't be wearing a wifebeater.



"Comes as you see pic, good condition, some stains (no cum or sweat actually).. My body is not included, unless you're a cute girl or one of them little Tokio Hotel boys (send pics).."

What kind of desperate loser writes shit like this? I'm about as sure that this dude hasn't used this shirt as a cumrag as I am that he hasn't gotten further than second base with a cousin. Not surprised he's into teenaged German emo. Great rear pose. Please do some fucking pull-ups and shrugs for those pathetic delts and traps.
