The one place for FILM, MUSIC and LITERATURE
Enemy of God is the 2005 album from Kreator. It’s probably the album I’ve listed the most in their entire discography. No, who am I kidding, it is most certainly the album I have listened to the most. I kind of had it on repeat when I first discovered it and I’ve probably listened to it a hundred times or more over the years. It has the perfect mix between the typical Kreatiot aggression and...
Sadisticum is a movie that I know very little about. I came across it somewhere and due to its cover art I realized that this must be something like nothing else. As far as I understand, at least if you’re trusting Wikipedia, the film is still banned in Germany due to its violence. Still it can be seen for sale at the German Amazon site, so I don’t know. I’m a vivid advocate for films...
Breezy is a Clint Eastwood film the I’ve had sitting on my shelf for a very long time. Ever since Studio S Entertainment released it in 2009, I think. Why it has been on my shelf I can’t really answer. Sadly, it is probably because other things have simply come in between, films that can’t hold a candle to this excellent film. Because even though it doesn’t look like much on the surface, the poster...
Men Behind the Sun takes place during World War II; the Japanese run a prison camp in China. They carry out all sorts of experiments to strengthen the Japanese military power. Everything from finding out how much cold a person can withstand before their limbs freeze to ice to experiments on bacteriological warfare. Some young recruits come here to be trained and get a feel for what life in the harsh reality is like. You...
…and Justice for all was Metallica’s fourth album and the first after the demise of Cliff Burton. As a footnote, I still remember the day when I first heard about the accident that took his life. I was listening to the radio, to the only show in Sweden were Hardrock, and Metal was really in focus. Before the show even began, there was a introduction by the host in a very serious voice. Informing that...
Reign in Blood is the third studio album by the legendary Thrash Metal Band Slayer. It’s widely considered to be a masterpiece and a cornser stone in the foundation of the genre. I couldn’t agree more. This is the definite Slayer album. There’s not doubt about it at all! Controversy There was a bit of controversy about it though. That’s an understatement of course. According to som sources Reign in Blood was refused distribution because...
12 Angry Men is one of those films that is set in very few locations, or even just only one. They demand far more tension than other films. 12 Angry Men takes place almost entirely in a single room. I say “almost” because the beginning and the end don’t quite happen there. The film begins with a trial that has just concluded, and the jury is given its instructions. They are to gather in a...
There was a time when I thought King of the Kill was the best album ever made! It was music perfectly tailored to me—fast guitars, innovative riffs, and simply put a quite classic Heavy Metal sound. I later explored a few more albums with Annihilator, and even though they naturally differ a bit, there is a common denominator. You can easily hear which band it is, even if Jeff Waters surrounds himself with different musicians...
As I have stated in a couple of previous reviews of Sacred Reich’s albums, The American Way is their masterpiece according to me. There is really no comparison to the previous album. The sound quality is exactly as I like it. There is not too much bass and just the right amount of heaviness. The lyrics themselves reflect society’s concessions, which is no surprise. And the music has just the right amount of hit quality,...
I kinda remember the first time I heard Sass Jordan, it wasn’t Bitches Blues for sure. Although I remember the time of the acquaintance, I can’t remember what songs or what album it was. I do remember that I wasn’t too fond of it at the time though. When I listen to Bitches Blues I can understand why though. What could this amazing voice attached to Sass Jordan have been doing that I didn’t like?...
Squid Game has taken the world by storm. I think that it has also paved the way for some other South Korean or even Asian series as a whole into the western world. Now, South Korean cinema is not so different from western, and American movies. Apart from the language of course. There are other countries in Asia, especially Japan where the culture is way different and usually comes up with really crazy stuff. I...
I think the cover art of Youthanasia is the beast of all Megadeth’s releases. That, together with the title pun speaks to me. It’s unclear why the title is not written on it. Anyway, this album came out when Megadeth was in a particularly good place. The previous album Countdown to Extinction was a masterpiece in my mind and I think they wanted to do another album with that style. That’s pretty catchy melodies and...
