I didn’t want to post about this, and these guys only seem to make good on like 25% of their threats, but they forced my hand. The Westboro Baptist Church have announced that they will be protesting Jeff Hanneman’s Memorial Celebration on Thursday, May 23, 2013. I am not asking anybody to do anything, only because I am not sure how the boss men would feel about it, but I will not shed any tears if these guys end up in traction.

If you were only allowed to pick one black metal album to hear for the rest of 2019, I would strongly suggest you choose False's Portent. A dizzying leap forward from an already very talented and rightfully well regarded act, it does not take long into ten minute opener "A Victual to Our Dead Selves" for the song to grab your undivided attention and never let go. Dedicated to the memory of several friends, the record is professional, passionate, heartbreaking and exhilarating. "Rime On The Song Of Returning" is an exceptionally poetic ode to natural abandon that seems to question our size in the scope of the march of time. The band have never sounded more precise, empowered and fiery, like there is a fortune teller at band practice urging them to claim destiny's heights. If this album holds significance of metal's future it is one that honors the best of the past while boding very well for the genre's horizons.

I would love to see them try cause Kerry King and Zack Wilde I’m sure would have something to say to them. And the legions of Slayer fans would have something to show them.

These fools are at it again?
I hope the fans and others in attendance don’t lash out, and that the funeral can proceed in peace. At Dio’s funeral, didn’t a bunch of counterprotesters show up and run their motorcycles all day to drown them out?
