Yeah, the term bro is being used as a negative connotation in this instance, but it doesn't make any sense to me. "Bro attitude" in 1990s/2000s Alt Metal? I can maybe understand if he's purely talking about nu metal, as a sub-genre of alt metal, but otherwise... not really. I don't think stuff...

This interview may have already been posted, but I just read it again recently and laughed. It's with Bjorn: https://newnoisemagazine.com/interviews/in-flames-guitarist-the-future-will-be-better/ This opening paragraph is so strange that I'm not sure where to start. "One of the most popular...

@The Grayfox have you seen the new 'Who Killed WCW?' Vice series? I feel like it's been fairly good so far, and they've got a decent selection of people as talking heads, including some of the old Turner/WCW staff. The Rock is on there as a talking head as well, which seemed a bit out of place...

For sure. I think it would actually have been pretty cool and innovative to end the series with Light coming out on top, rather than just defeated later by an L clone. I should note that this is an anime only opinion - from what I understand the manga does a much better job with characterising...

Near is basically an alt version of L, but less charismatic or interesting. Hard to assess if he's more intelligent than L, as L had already done a lot of the legwork before dying and Light wasn't as sharp or focused by the time Near got involved. Mello I just didn't think was a great...

Spoiler tag as I don't know exactly how far you are in the series ...

Season 1 of The Promised Neverland is also a really good series, devoid of the standard anime tropes and heavy on the mystery in the sense of 'wtf is going on here?' - I was put off initially by the fact the main characters were kids, but it was actually a really good watch. Unfortunately it's a...

Check out Steins;Gate. It has some of the cliche anime tropes which can be annoying, but overall the story is pretty great. It's primarily about time travel, but there's a mystery element in terms of who is controlling what. It's probably my favourite overall anime, all things factored in, and...

Crowds in the past have enjoyed Moonshield and Artifacts just fine - why they play Graveland nonstop instead of those is beyond me. Whilst Graveland is a fine song, in the context of TJR it's a pretty mid track. Almost any other song would be more interesting. The 'crowds don't react' excuse...

Coming back to this kind of late, but I've only just realised Daniel Heiman is doing guest vocals on this track: No idea how I didn't make the connection before as it's obvious that it's him (and he still sounds great).

What a great show this was.

The thing is, around 2-3 years is a reasonable enough time between albums. Especially for a band which isn't even the vocalist's main project. The only reason the timeline feels disappointing is because members of the band keep promising music that never materialises. The winter 2022 EP that...

They've been confused since the first album was released in terms of what they've been saying to the press. It's all very strange. https://metalinjection.net/upcoming-releases/mikael-stanne-explains-why-the-halo-effect-isnt-doing-a-new-ep-new-album-in-2024-instead "Our sophomore album will...

New music for what? The album they said was done last year? A third album? An EP that won't end up getting released? Random single? Collaboration with Taylor Swift? I have no idea what is going on with these guys anymore.
