Band: Suffer

Album: Global Warming [EP]

Year: 1993

Genre: Death Metal

GET IT!

Alright, alright! So I found this hard to find album by Swedish Death Metal band Suffer, thanks to my friend Dan over at The Black Circle Blog. It’s an EP called Global Warming, so I figured it might be relatively appropriate for this blog. It’s only four songs including Impressive Turns, Infectious, Global Warming, and Wrong Side of Life, but it’s good. It’s a sweet reminder of how Death Metal used to be, the good ol’ days in the 90’s before Death Metal was epitomized by Dethklok, and other such very fictional bands that Hot Topic propagates.

Suffer was a band out of Sweden, that sadly dissolved in 94 after releasing one album, and a couple of EPs. The vocals kind of remind me of a mix of Bill Steer from Carcass, and Dariusz Szymanek from Mortal Slaughter. It’s really good, and if it were available in stores, I would encourage you to go out and buy it. I really hate to compare these guys to Cannibal Corpse, because here I am talking about the good ol’ days of DM but I really don’t know anything else to compare to, technicality wise I would say it reminds me of The Wretched Spawn. There, I said it. Anyway, good album, I encourage you to check it out.

NEW ARTICLE!

I have been paying attention to this year's race for the white house, I'm surrounded by people of differing opinion, some of my friends are for Obama, some are for Mccain, I haven't really made up my mind yet on who I'm more for. My friend Zach (who is a supporter of Obama) sent me this website on Barack's stances on multiple issues. To save you all some time I would like to quote this:

20% nation's power supply from renewable sources by 2020. (Sep 2004)

I would like to point out that this would be pretty great, it might be worth the millions of dollars we are inevitably going to spend on this endeavor. I would also like to point out a simple fact that there are a lot of "environmentalists" out there that scream and scream for renewable resources, but then when they get them all they do is complain. Here in Hawaii we have the resources to be completely on renewable power, and be able to successfully power the Big Island of Hawaii for a week, just from a small amount of power on the one island. Collectively, we can generate a whole lot more, enough to power the entire state. Why do we not have renewable power here? People complain. We put up solar panels, people complain of the eye sore, you put up wind towers, not only is it an eye sore, it's a noise pollutant, and "kills native birds", and geothermal is out of the question because it puts out more SO2 than would normally be in the atmosphere. We've tried just about everything, because we have the ability to utilize all of the Earth's natural resources, but nothing satisfies. What I'm getting at is that renewable resources can only account for so much, with the demand for power, renewable energy sources cannot be relied on solely, in my opinion it would be the best thing to get nuclear power going, with renewable power, both working together to produce the power. Nuclear power is feared because of what can happen, but in actuality I see no other way, and on our way to reliance on renewable resources we're going to need something that can ween us off of our fossil fuel dependence. If we get renewable power, wind, solar, etc. what is there to stop them from dismantling it all because of such complaints that will inevitably occur.
