Eyehategod should be getting just as much love as Crowbar from hardcore kids at this point

Before "cook food, fight god" was a thing it was "cook food, hail Iommi".
I cannot overstate how important Black Sabbath is and forever will be to my life, my ethos, and to my artistic endeavors.
They've earned their retirement in spades.
Take your final bow, gentlemen.
Hail Black Sabbath.

Br*tish cuisine really peaked with the Chip Butty
French fries, butter, and ketchup (if you're fucked) (me) between two pieces of bread

Bands with three guitarists are either second wave emo or deathcore
Bands with no guitarists are either powerviolence or The Doors
Bands with no bassists are either grindcore or powerviolence
The thing they all have in common is me lying telling you, "Yo, that set was sick"

You can really save yourself a lot of anxiety and indignation at the current state of events by filling your heart with pitch black hatred for the state which is not currently malfunctioning but instead acting exactly as designed. These people stole your money, took your rights and called you stupid
