Zehra (muslimisch, aktiv bei den #Grünen) und ich (evangelisch, seit Jugend aktiv in der #CDU ) wurden übrigens auch gestern wieder von einem linksdualistischen Account via Mastodon angeraunzt. Vorwurf: Wir sollten gefälligst nicht gemeinsam den Ramadan feiern, denn wir führten mit unserer interreligiösen Familie doch nur „das Patriarchat“ weiter. Das störe doch sehr…

Rechtsdualistische Beschimpfungen von #X - ern erfahren wir ja fast täglich, alle paar Wochen kommt eben auch ein linksdualistischer Anwurf via #Fediverse hinzu. Mein erstes Shitstörmle erlebte ich hier auf Mastodon, weil ich als Vegetarier „nicht vegan genug“ sei…

Und was haben wir heute also als Familie gemacht? Wir waren gemeinsam & geheim demokratisch wählen. 🗳️

Weil wir an die #Freiheit des Grundgesetzes glauben, verschieden & dialogisch sein zu dürfen! Gegen jeden (!) feindseligen #Dualismus , auch auf #Mastodon … ❤️🇩🇪🇪🇺🙌

Allen, die es feiern, wünschen wir einen gesegneten #Ramadan , #Purim & #Östern !

Borrower – Killerdemons Review By ClarkKent

Unlike some of our staff, I’ve never been in a band. However, I can imagine the feeling of satisfaction in putting together and releasing that first full-length record. For every band that achieves this milestone, countless more never do. Italy’s Borrower was nearly among that number. Formed in 1993, Borrower released three demos in the ’90s, a fourth in 2005, and then disappeared until 2018 with their debut EP. Whatever interrupted their musical career, the dream remained, and they finally released their first album (and signed to a label, to boot) 33 years later with their founding vocalist, Massano Ratano, and drummer, Frank Formoso, joined by new guitarists Matteo Marzo and Matteo Marini. Behold their vision, a story of killer, humanoid demons as told through music that harks back to some of the legends of ’80s and ’90s speed metal.

Granted, the concept of an album where each song tells a story about a distinctive demonic entity with its own unique “physical traits” and “specific weapon” is extremely silly, yet Killerdemons proves to be a catchy and cool affair. Borrower claim Motörhead, Judas Priest, and Dio as their main influences, and they write spare, riff-tastic tunes in their honor. The guitars carry much more heft than their influences, however, with enough reverb to take tunes dangerously close to stoner territory a lá High on Fire and Black Sabbath. This marriage between speed and stoner proves effective. “El Degollador” oscillates between lightning-fast, “Ace of Spades”-inspired riffs and slower, “War Pigs”-style stoner riffs in a performance that’s sure to give you whiplash. Taking a cue from AC/DC, Borrower keeps their song structures simple yet catchy. The rollicking “Stay Alive” best demonstrates this virtue with crisp songwriting and energetic pacing. Each track has distinctive riffs that are far more powerful than the demons it conjures.

In the eight years since their 2018 EP, A Plague Chapter…, Borrower has vastly improved their sound and instrumental prowess. The two Matteos have played a major role in this transformation. Marini’s fuzzy guitar tone adds heft where the EP’s guitars sounded tinny. His blending of Motörhead-style riffcrafting with the density of High on Fire and Mastodon adds an extra oomph to tracks like “Der Todessoldat” and “Tough Fight.” Marzo’s bass takes a commanding presence as well. He adds depth and backbone to the music, making his presence especially felt on the slower moments of “Knocking on the Coffins.” Formoso takes a restrained approach behind the kit, occasionally blasting the cymbals (“Dream on Fire”), but mostly setting the pace with an effective simplicity. The wild card of the group is vocalist Ratano. He seemingly channels Lemmy, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Fozzie Bear in a truly strange, yet somehow endearing performance. His Italian accent, which drags out the words “kee-ler dee-mons” during the chorus of “Killerdemons,” adds a level of camp that contributes to the goofy fun.

While Borrower keeps Killerdemons to a concise 36 minutes, the record does falter on the two songs that stray from the 3-4 minute range. The first, “Knocking on the Coffins,” has some memorable riffs, including a cool, old school solo, but at over five minutes, it drags on a bit too long. Positioned between the album’s two best tracks, it also proves to be a major momentum killer. The biggest sore thumb, however, is the six-plus minute finale, “A Chaos Vortex.” Not only does it lack memorable riffs, but it falters in its final two minutes as the band sorely misjudges when to best wrap it up. Trimming 2-3 minutes from each of these songs would have immensely improved the album’s otherwise incredible pacing.

As I established last month, metal tends to invite some weird characters, and the killer demon universe created here is certainly an odd one. But that’s also what makes metal so much fun. Bands feel free to try out their off-the-wall ideas, from literary– or video game-inspired themes to the creation of fantasy or sci-fi realms. And sometimes these ideas actually work. Borrower finally sees through their vision, or at least the start of it, and presents it in such a catchy, cool way. I love to see original ideas performed with such care and passion, and I hope these guys continue to cultivate their ideas and musical talents.

M'he creat un compte a #Eurosky i veig que està totalment lligat a #Bluesky És a dir, a un producte dels #EUA. El mantra que repeteixen de la sobirania digital europea diria que no va per aquí.

I ja tenim un producte totalment europeu, #Mastodon, del qual se'n parla poc o gens. Penso que ja estem al costat correcte.

Super video hlavně pro ty, co jsou na Mastodonu noví (jako já) nebo co na něm ještě ani nejsou: vhsky.cz/w/hNuFEJwjbcubMgsVnqt - takový lehký úvod do toho, co je to Fediverse (síť, do které je připojený i Mastodon) a je v češtině. 🤩 Doporučuji se podívat, je to krátké a hezky vysvětlené. 😉

今夜は、オニオン醤油ソースがけのカリフラワーステーキで晩ごはん

カリフラワーチーズやスープも美味しいけれど、茹でずに焼き色を付けてオーブンでローストするこの食べ方が香ばしくて歯ごたえも良くて一番好きかもしれない

Maineikkaan Hollywood-studion arkistosta löytyi käsikirjoituksia, joiden tekijä on hämärän peitossa. Jokainen teksti alkaa XXX.

Olisitko kiinnostunut osallistumaan kirjoituskokeiluun, jossa tarinaa jatketaan Mastodonissa ja mahdollisesti myöhemmin kehitetään konseptia myös muilla Fediverse-alustoilla ja Open Collectivessa? Ilmianna kiinnostuksesi kommentoimalla tätä tekstiä vaikka lauseella, miten tarina voisi jatkua.
