http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. If you dig this, also check out my old post on Stormtrooper (US). Labels: Epic Heavy Metal. Metal bands accidentally sounding punk. Tuesday, November 29, 2011. True Black Metal Part III: The Background to Burzum. All about. In Part I. I focused on what I loosely call the " sturm und drang. Most interesting, none of them really sound like. Burzum in the way that legions of pagan, depressive, and NS bands do today. They didn't have the same "sound," but they were certainly...

Trial By Ordeal: April 2012
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Get Into: Articles of Faith. I've been on a real punk and hardcore kick lately. It seems to hit me every spring, so I guess it's only natural. What band have I been jamming a little bit more than most of the rest? LP has been played to death by me, and I suggest the same for you. You could keep reading my blah blah bullshit or you could just get into them yourself. Labels: tags are gay and im not feeling witty. Brooklyn Vegan Reveals the Music of the Future.

Trial By Ordeal: January 2012
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 30, 2012. Oh god oh man oh god oh man. I'll touch on this briefly. One good point: it led me to this. Labels: brandon stosuy is ruining metal. Sunday, January 29, 2012. Black Metal begins here. I just started a new part-time job at a classical music venue, and heard this piece for the first time ever last night (and again tonight). It was performed by this guy.

Trial By Ordeal: The neurosis of metal nerds (part 1 of 2)
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012/02/neurosis-of-metal-nerds-part-1-of-2.html
Thursday, February 23, 2012. The neurosis of metal nerds (part 1 of 2). Well, the bad metalheads are those guys, just in a different form. Terrified by the idea of losing the identity he's spent so much time and effort in creating. This is the source of the really crazy, overblown stuff you see from any kind of nerd who has a complete breakdown: they literally can't handle the idea of change, as they were unable to handle it before. Occasionally, they believe too greatly in their fiction, and this happens.

Trial By Ordeal: Just saw this band tonight...
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012/02/just-saw-this-band-tonight.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. Just saw this band tonight. And wondered why the FUCK I hadn't seen them before. Perdition, probably NYC's best d-beat/crust/noisecore, whatever. The sound quality on this is not great even for raw punk, but it's their only studio material on Youtube. So just turn it up. If you wanna hear more, download a 7" here. You can even supplement my half-ass post by reading Adam's smart and succinct write-up. February 26, 2012 at 10:39 AM. March 4, 2012 at 6:43 PM. Heathen Harvest (neof...

Trial By Ordeal: May 2012
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 3, 2012. Get Into: Knelt Rote. In the search for some new grindcore done the way I like to hear it done, I remembered the name Knelt Rote popping up into various discussions on forums. Finding their name choice interesting, I decided to sample some tracks, and upon pressing play, was treated to the sensation of a good, mean ass kicking. Knelt Rote chose the perfect name, because this. Labels: cool band logos. Wednesday, May 2, 2012. If any of you are still keeping track of this blog, just w...

Trial By Ordeal: shameless personal plug
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012/05/shameless-personal-plug.html
Wednesday, May 2, 2012. If any of you are still keeping track of this blog, just wanted to let you know that I've finally started writing again. My first new piece is that Amebix interview I kept talking about here and could never get around to finally posting. That shit's done, now, and I just published part 1 of 4 at Lurker's Path. They should be publishing a Gravenhurst interview of mine in a week or two (I have yet to actually do the interview- later this week hopefully). May 2, 2012 at 4:24 PM.

Thursday, February 23, 2012. Forgotten Albums: Sodom - Tapping the Vein. With this post, we're gonna begin a new feature called Forgotten Albums, where we take a look at some of the more overlooked works of major artists' discographies. To fire it up, I'm gonna take a quick look at my favorite Sodom album ever: "Tapping the Vein.". Songs about harvesting organs for the black market. February 23, 2012 at 1:28 AM.

Trial By Ordeal: Brooklyn Vegan Reveals the Music of the Future
http://trialbyordeal666.blogspot.com/2012/04/brooklyn-vegan-reveals-music-of-future.html
Tuesday, April 3, 2012. Brooklyn Vegan Reveals the Music of the Future. Fed up with pretentious genre labels and analytical critique of music? Well now you don't have to! From this point on, all music is being split into two simple categories: sausage and non-sausage. Experts suggest that general, arbitrary young female sluttiness remains the most deciding factor in this matter, though BV commentators posit otherwise. Unfortunately, the ratio of more sausage than non-sausage music covered has legions of ...
