SAMHAIN "Blood Show" evidence from Eerie Von's MISERY OBSCURA Misfits / Samhain / Danzig collection 🧛 Page 85: "Ever since pouring blood over our heads for the cover of Initium, we talked about recreating that look onstage in a live setting..."

The ultimate Halloween mood music is Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" slowed down 800%. Majestic! Foreboding! Terrifying!

Not wading into the pointless debate that raised this (probably equally pointless) question, but can't resist a good chicken / egg puzzle. If anything, metal (as in Sabbath) influenced hardcore far more in the early days. Since at least 1986, been a cultural division, not musical
Where did this myth come from that Metal evolved from Punk music? Until the last few weeks, I have never seen this. Now, it's stated everywhere. It's just completely untrue!
My guess: this person is under 25, and grown up in an era where Punk and Metal are more aligned now.

It's been less than a year since an "Arab" won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and not for harvesting nose crystals like ARFK
We have to resist the idea that rich white men are inherently smarter than everyone else. We also have to rid ourselves of the idea that blatant racism is acceptable to win votes from people the administration obviously feels are stupid bigots. They think you are dumb, folks.
