The Testament by dldlo, literature

Literature

The Testament

Out of all the speculation of the existence of the ethereal, euphoria and analgesia inducing phenominon often conotated as 'love,' the only concrete proof of the reality of such an intangible, yet influential item; the evidence that such an ambiguous presence is actually there, are those who experience it. Throughout their lives, once they experience, they evolve mentally into a creature on a higher plane of thought in their existence. There are those who exist that are analytic, abstract; those who are brilliant, and those who are dumb. However, once they are weighed in the proverbial scale, their influence amounts to about the same. All

Devin Townsend-Accelerated Evo

Few people can embody brilliance. However, one man has thoroughly proved that musical innovation still exists, and that it's progressive if anything. Canadian madman Devin Townsend's latest release, "Accelerated Evolution," proves that perfection indeed progresses into higher levels as times goes on. Not to mention, he wrote this while writing "SYL" by Strapping Young Lad, and coupled with his brilliant production only gives this CD a higher appeal. You can tell some SYL has crept into Devin's writing methods with the opening track, "Depth Charge." Complete with a blossoming synth backdrop, the opener immediately blazes into flight with chug

Darkane - Rusted Angel by dldlo, literature

Literature

Darkane - Rusted Angel

Every now and then, stagnation beckons a force needed to rewrite what already is. For Death Metal, it's Darkane. The brainchild of guitarist Malmstrom, coupled with current The Defaced and Terror 2000 guitarist Ideberg, Darkane are one of the most unique of Death Metal bands, coupling lightning-fast, breakneck riffs wih Melodic hooks that will leave you nothing but a stunned mass after hearing it. This CD on the whole is a complete Melodic assault. The creepy intro melds classical music with a guitar solo, then slams full-force into the Thrashy song "Convicted," a prime example of mixing technicality with Melody almost flawlessly. "A Wisdom'

I just don't have it in me - especially when bands like 311 exist. They've been my favorite band for pretty much as long as I can remember. Even though times changed from '93 to now, they've beent he only band to stay the same. They had no 'core' sound, and they still don't

The Loser

There's a lot of words in the English diction that have gone undefined; words that to this day have an amorphis meaning. Some are such meaningless slang that they come and go with the times and trends. One word seems to have permeated the test of time almost unhindered. The word is simply 'Loser.' Still in just as effective usage today, it remains to be the slander of a lifetime. Nearly everyone thinks they know what it means, however, few seem to use it correctly. Get turned down one a date from the pretty girl at school? Then you're instantly called a loser. Not able to stay in with the pack of Jocks? Loser. Left out of the tailgat

Nightly Lovenote: Love Slavery

It's incredible. Whenever I normally think about you, I'm overcome with a plethora of thoughts inaudible and invisible. The teeming masses of them are always too incredibly loud to be heard, too incredibly wild to be viewed; all of them unreal in every aspect of senses. However, this time it was different. This time, all the action in my heart and mind dropped completely next to nothing. The only thought streaming across my head is screaming "I love you" as loud as I can. It's suffocating myself so that it's loud enough for you to hear across the ocean. It's breaking down to my knees in realization you love me too; grabbing my

Nightly Lovenote: The Pedestal

You really wouldn't believe just how happy you make me. Ever since you sent your first words to me, I've been recalled from a state of manic depression that I end up feeling would damn me in seclusion. At nights, I used to be envious of everyone who had someone they could love and call their own, because I really felt I'd never find anyone like that. Then, I met you. I literally couldn't believe some of the things you told me about yourself when we first talked. I had never met anyone who was as brilliant and open-minded as yourself about so many things. You embraced things people are normally ashamed to mention for fear of rej

No Quarter by dldlo, literature

Literature

No Quarter

He was just a young man, Newly seventeen, When fell to the guillotine Of apathy and hypocrisy He got his fix From the river of Styx, As looked in the eyes Of the one with the Scythe. He stared at his light Saying, "Please, Oh baby please Sunshine, Oh please help me. If you could only see me. See that I'm caught underneath the sea Of dreadfulness and misery; Become another pawn in this line. Take this gun With the bullet made of glass. Make it quick, make it fast; Please let my suffering pass. I refuse to be the one carried under this time." She held it with ease Because she was aiming to please She felt her hand freeze

A Very Metal Thanksgiving

0 min read

Mood: Thrashy Music: Custom Solo I wish Deviantart had the ability to upload soundclips.  Let's face it, spoken essays and beat poems would be cool, not to mention, what about the soundclips that are art?  I guess it'd use too much bandwidth, though.  Anyway, I've spent all night developing a solo I'm working on for a song.  Two of them have been uploaded, and I'll link to them. http://ee.1asphost.com/wseiblood78/solo.wav http://ee.1asphost.com/wseiblood78/solo2.wav The first is a draft, so to speak.  The second is what it's progressiong into, and I'm pretty happy with it.  The first is longer, with more power chords, but the second has

'Say Something' 'I Love You'

0 min read

Mood: Slightly Agitated Music: Meshuggah - Rare Trax - Don't Speak I got to hear angelic voice; I feel so ridiculously happy.  I could listen to her talk for ages and think every moment of it paradise.  Maybe I'll get the chance. Anyway, two very interesting developments: 1.)  I joined a new band.  It's going to be Emocore, unfortunately, but now is my chance to mould it into something of a bit differently sounding group now that I've been given some songwriting ability with them.  It's weird though, liking Meshuggah then playing with a band who're all about Brand New and The Used.  I might as well give it a try, though.  Very happy to be

Technicoo Difficulties

0 min read

Mood:  Agitated Music:  Bleeding Through - This Is Love, This Is Murderous - Love Lost in a Hail of Gunfire I hate Hardcore songtitles and lyrics, especially the Straight-edge ones.  I don't care if Hardcore is just booming now, all of it "I WON'T FUCKING GIVE UP THEN I'LL SHOOT YOU AND HUG YOU." Anyway, I've been away recently because my computer is only registering about 600 Kb of the actual 3 Gb it has left.  Starting to slightly agitate me, because I can't even write in notepad.  I blame France. As soon as my computer get's passed it's stint of shittyness, I'll write something new.  Lots of ideas for proses and lyrics. I love you, Se
