| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 4:16pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] ASCENDANCY - Rise of A Dead Empire A sure-shot for fiends of South American Death Metal, ASCENDANCY's low-end double bass and guttural vocals hit like a front-end loader full of anvils. KRISIUN, INTERNAL SUFFERING and REBAELLIUN fans gather the troops and prepare for an assault on humanity. Of course the fact that they're from Massachusetts rather than Brazil means their hatred of humanity derives more from high gas prices, New York drivers and shitty liquor laws than civil war and human injustice. Still, this info bears no weight on the band's strength and influence and these nine blast-masters are fit for jungle combat as is. http://www.ASCENDANCYMETAL.com/ |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 6:37pm - BornSoVile ""] Thank You John. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 8:26pm - Terence ""] Yes, thank you John, we didnt even know about this. |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 8:59pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] I am the man. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 27,2005 9:55pm - Anthony ""] This is great! Congratulations guys. I'm looking forward to playing with you soon and seeing how the songs sound with only one guitar and with Josh doing vocals. Hmm, well even if we dont play with you soon I'll see you at Cryptopsy at the BS. Any review that calls your songs "blast-masters" that are "fit for jungle combat" is a good fucking review. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 28,2005 4:16am - Terence ""] fucking a. |
| _______________________________ [Feb 28,2005 11:38am - blue ""] way to go guys. bling bling in the metal mags. |

There are however exceptions I make to the rule, usually when said material is so diabolically crap that it warrants such remarks. Up until now I'd reserved such comments for the compulsory-lobotomy-necassary rubbish that MORTICIAN churn out, but after listening to 'Rise Of A Dead Empire' I feel inspired to vent my vitriol again. Quite honestly, with music like this - where a lot of bad albums can at least blame the production for stripping the quality from the songs or other such factors - ASCENDANCY actually show just why a band as boring as this are unsigned, and dare I say it, destined to remain unsigned and hopefully ignored for the indefinate future. None of the structures, riffs, songs or even lyrics remotely garners any interest whatsoever; it's all content to just make a big relatively incoherent (read: atonal aural blur) noise on record, just so the band can boast they've released an album. There's no power, brutality, musicianship, groove, or any semblence of anything at all that makes even a remotely decent extreme Metal song, just plain noise. To be honest, I'm getting sick of the thought alone of this crap just sitting here reviewing it, let alone listening to it. Never even dream of spending money on this rubbish. Trust me, it's twenty-two minutes and eight seconds of your life you'll be lamenting you wasted on this shit." |
| ________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 2:30am - Terence ""] Thats exactly how I feel about our stuff too. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 8:55am - BornSoVile ""] surprised that took almost 8 months for a review like that, i figured we'd get nailed a month or two afterwards. |
| _______________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 9:54am - KillerKadoogan ""] damn you guys and your non-existent musicianship |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 10:05am - paganmegan ""] No power or brutality to ascendancy? what the fuck |
| ______________________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 12:02pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] That reviewer doesn't like Mortician and he gave Kataklysm a good review, smells like a deaf faggot to me. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 12:08pm - RustedAngel ""] I'd take Kataklysm over Mortician anyday. |
| ______________________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 12:50pm - BobNOMAAMRooney nli ""] I'd take Mortician, want to start a new thread or poll where we can argue about this until we lose interest? |

A review like that makes me way more interested in the band than the one from Metal Maniacs. Not liking Mortician is one thing, but being the kind of fag who thinks a lobotomy is necessary to listen to it is another. If someone like that hates your album I should probably check it out. Someone who uses the word "noise" as a negative just sucks and should stay at Dream Theater concerts where he'll never have to complain again. |

| _________________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 9:57pm - Todd_Bombshelter ""] That fag should have his user status on Metal Archives revoked,what a fuckin retard |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 1,2005 10:20pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] It's his opinion. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 2,2005 12:45am - Terence ""] I think Dwyer wrote it. You did, didnt you Dwyer. |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 2,2005 1:01am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Nope, I wouldn't have been that kind. |
| ________________________________ [Mar 2,2005 1:13am - Terence ""] well I know that. |
