The animal argument is one of industry’s favorite defenses, as they know we can’t test on humans and thus get to keep putting toxins in products. That exposure argument of dose does not apply for the development of cancerous or precancerous cells. Even a small dose can cause the first mutation.

That’s not the point of the warning. Most cancer is caused by cumulative and consistent exposure. The standard toxicology model of “the dose makes the poison” does not apply here. The warnings are to advise you to limit exposure to materials and chemicals known to cause cancer.

In California’s defense, it’s because un- and under-regulated industries will put toxic shit in any products they can to cut costs

They have everyone in the band contribute songs now so you get some very different sounding influences depending who composed it. Their live performances are crazy now too. They have a bunch of videos up from the “Symphonic Synergy” show that are just epic

For some reason at the time when this came out I didn’t like this song. It definitely grew on me over the years though! If you haven’t checked out their newer stuff you totally should. I don’t listen to much either now but Epica keeps getting better and more interesting.

I feel so insane every time I see someone listening or dancing to him and loving it unabashedly. It’s like everyone’s pretending not to have a problem with it so they keep something they like.

It could just be trolling. It's also fully possible they see themselves as the good guys not realizing that they're all orcs. To loosely quote Gandalf: "they're inbreeding an army"
