SavageHenry User Info... | Thanks. I saw Meatlocker 7 at the Strapping Young Lad show, they were fucking awesome. I'll have to check out the rest - Wed, 4 May 2005 11:54pm | ||
wordsaredumb User Info... | regarding Gross Misconduct, they arent broken up. they moved to Vancouver (to be seduced by grind and band whoring). - Thu, 5 May 2005 1:00am | ||
Curmudgeon Rocker User Info... | Jason: Metchosin's Grind Seducer. - Thu, 5 May 2005 8:06am | ||
canon.docre User Info... | bury what's dead and acting ensign reek of metal. - Thu, 5 May 2005 1:27pm | ||
The Other Nick User Info... | whoops...i missed "bury what's dead", but "acting ensign", WAY too intense for the average metal head to handle. I mean, with the TV playing the star trek episodes at the same time and all...Plus star wars is way more metal. - Thu, 5 May 2005 5:40pm | ||
ODIN User Info... | star wars is troo kvlt to the max... Sith anyone? - Thu, 5 May 2005 9:25pm | ||
wordsare User Info... | "Metchosin's Grind Seducer" ya, it was a step up from Metchosin's Sheep Seducer. - Fri, 6 May 2005 1:08pm | ||
Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | "star wars is troo kvlt to the max... Sith anyone?" That's a joke right??? Star Wars is about as kvlt as ozzfest. - Fri, 6 May 2005 1:51pm | ||
ODIN User Info... | morecock the benzdyke it is not a joke. Star Wars is kvlt and Sith is a side project of some people... I've said too much. Now I'm off to my deathstar to blow up this miserable sphere you call earth muhahaha! PS. the guy in your pic looks like he has down syndrome. PPS. are you a trekie? PPPS. hehe I said PP - Fri, 6 May 2005 5:31pm | ||
moron User Info... | It's a little bit of a stretch to call either The Ungoliant or Iskra metal. Metal influenced maybe but both have their origins elsewhere (Iskra is far more crusty than they are metal and The Ungoliant is only metal if you consider Neurosis metal which personally I do not). Not to slight either band, I like 'em both fine. I just don't think they fit the inital post's paramters (which specifically left out any hardcore influences). IMHO - Fri, 6 May 2005 5:49pm | ||
Robnöxious User Info... | This be metal enough for you. Breaking in our new digs. ABUSE OF POWER We're old school Loud n Proud (for me hightlight the OLD) - Fri, 6 May 2005 11:31pm | ||
Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | yeah yeah...oh REAL big secret you are privy to there Odin I've heard about this ill concieved sith side project with asperations of musical war with AE and guess what...I convinced them that the movie Space Truckers is a way better theme.....I mean really...how could you base a project on a theme create by the same motherfucker who puked Howard the Duck into existence.....weak and uninspired. ps. nice wordplay on my username....it has the cutting wit of a...uh...well, a boring 17 year old pps what's a trekie? - Sat, 7 May 2005 5:07am | ||
WILLEM User Info... | hahahahahaha,r there any metal bandz.\ r u serious, there are lotz. i GOT ONE, think fast - Sat, 7 May 2005 9:26am | ||
ODIN User Info... | Don't call me boring just because you have no sense of humour morecock. Lets just agree to disagree on this one. - Sat, 7 May 2005 1:04pm | ||
Mutilashawn User Info... | clearly calling Star Wars "troo kvlt" is a joke. the side project is a joke in itself. no sense in getting riled up over it. plus no one mentioned A Stellar Collapse or Throne of Ashes. - Sat, 7 May 2005 1:16pm | ||
ODIN User Info... | oh and these are "trekkies" - Sat, 7 May 2005 2:01pm | ||
Mordock.the.Benzite User Info... | Uhhh...yeah...I do know what a trekkie is dude...that was kinda a joke and if you knew much about TNG you would realize that my username is in direct reference to it. I do think that the side project is a funny idea(especially just using the trigger system for the beats instead of actual drums)...but if you are going to do a joke side project it's way more hilarious to have thematics that most people think are totally gay/lame ....hmmm...now that I think about it....that sith thing may well fit the bill. - Sat, 7 May 2005 2:11pm | ||
Rollerballs User Info... | I'm starting a Jar Jar themed band, i don't care if no one likes it, i think he's cool and funny. - Sat, 7 May 2005 3:02pm | ||

Legion User Info... | Hey Fuckers Gross Misconduct is alive and kicking and coming to your fair city soon enough. We have not been seduced by grind but yes there is a little bit of band whoring going on. It's for a good cause I promise. Love, Dave - Sat, 7 May 2005 6:28pm | ||
