As has been noted already for years, Hellhammer's "Apocalyptic Raids" EP was * not * released on 8 March 1984. We were recording the EP in West Berlin from 2 to 7 March 1984, so this would have been utterly impossible. The EP was actually released in April/May 1984.
"X"? Most moronic and superfluous rebranding in a very long time. Musk instead should have provided for this communication platform to work properly again and to safeguard it from the lunatics, perverse, depraved, hatemongers, and fascists. But... "fReE SpEeCh".
Triumph Of Death's "Resurrection Of The Flesh" will be released on Noise/BMG on 10th November 2023. It will be available on LP, CD, digital, and as a special deluxe vinyl book edition with bonus 7" single.

It's pretty easy to see how misogynistic and fucked up the views of the Islamic faith are towards women.
But then again, so are all three religions of Abraham.
Each one of them is built on the foundation that women are not, and never will be, the equal of men.

This past weekend in Florida. Mark Quartiano killed a critically endangered Great Hammerhead. This wasn't just any shark—she was pregnant with 35 pups, all of which died with her.

Thank you, profoundly, to all of those who sent me their best wishes for this new year in spite of the fact that, if viewed realistically, the current state of the world and conduct of humanity would seem to indicate a further descent into the chasms of irrational pandemonium.

In August 2024, Triumph Of Death will return to Australia to morbidly resurrect Hellhammer's infernal proto-extreme metal during the Australian Raids tour.

Regardless where one might stand politically, the USA I knew all my life - whether run by a Republican or a Democrat - was a democracy. Often very flawed, but still a democracy. And governed by individuals who had the spine to accept possible democratic defeat.
I voted for Ozzy and he is deserving as a solo artist. But his solo career benefited HUGELY from the players & writers he had. Really hope there is acknowledgment of Bob Daisley, Lee Kerslake, Randy, Jake E Lee,
@ZakkWyldeBLS
etc. These people & many more massively contributed!
In an ideal world... no, in a rational world, politicians would distinguish themselves by means of their intelligence, pragmatism and courage rather than by means of blatant greed, egotism and populism.
On Saturday, 24 June 2023, we will celebrate a quarter century of the Museum HR Giger in Gruyères, Switzerland. We are very happy to invite you to attend the festivities at the museum, the Giger Bar, and in the garden of the museum.
Political machinations since the dawn of mankind: when you've got nothing of substance to say, you'll radicalize your followers so they adhere to you like a cult rather than based on the merits of your thoughts and solutions. It's obscured moral and intellectual bankruptcy.
Twitter, to me, one year ago: "We are revoking your blue verification badge because you don't tweet enough." Twitter, to me, now: "You are tweeting too much, therefore you will not be able to tweet for a while nor follow other accounts."

Well, it would have been slightly difficult ot release the "Morbid Tales" album in June of 1984 since we only recorded it in October of 1984. But thank you nonetheless!
What a shame the "better" option requires an invite with code. That, even on its own, prevents a timely migration of sufficient users and makes it accessible only to an arbitrary elite. I shall look elsewhere then.
Yes, one can buy anything; it is - for better or for worse - the nature of the system. But a democracy relies on independent media. If independent media ceases to exist, so does democracy.

Utter bullshit. That's an invention and does not correspond to the facts that haven been published many times before, not least in my own books.
Triptykon in Chile in 2018, at the aptly titled Evil Confrontation Festival Open Air. Triptykon's first time in South America (and that includes Celtic Frost).
So Elon's Fascist I mission exploded. Too bad, based on what Elon's Twitter is curretly dumping into my feed, a successful launch on 20 April would have been such a perfect commermoration of the Führer's birthday.

Regarding Erdogan, Twitter, and Elon Musk's mantra/smokescreen of free speech: Musk is such a goddamn hypocrite. Not that this is really a surprise, of course.

This is the apology a Houston school district sent to parents for assigning an illustrated version of Anne Frank's Diary to students.
The teacher was fired for assigning it.
