I hope the white problem will be fixed :/ Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia are hit by great floods these days. A lot of people died, others lost their homes. It's really a disaster. Many areas have been evacuated, some houses are just under water, others are ruined. A lot of people are still trapped in flooded houses. The areas hit by flood in Croatia are already the poorest, I can't even imagine what will happen to those people now. They worked in agriculture, but all the fields are gone now. The rest of the country is trying to help, the Red Cross is collecting food and clothes. When they spoke about the coming storms on the news, nobody expected such a disaster.

Wow. That really is tragic. How's your family?
We are fine, thank you, my region wasn't hit at all, we have sunny, warm weather here. My bf has family in two towns in Bosnia. They are thankfully all fine but can't reach each others cities. Later we are taking some of our old clothes to the red cross.

What did you do?
I met a few weeks ago a girl at a gig and I we exchanged our numbers. And well, she really likes me, regarding the things she said to me via whatsapp and all that stuff. At the first I liked her a bit too, but not that much. But the more we talked, the less I began to like her actually. And now I told her that, and she can't understand it and I was a bit rude I believe.

But the more we talked' date=' the less I began to like her actually. [/quote'] I might know how you feel. I was hoping I'd like this one girl - she liked pretty much all of the music I showed her, including Unexpect, and we'd spoken on friendly terms a number of times in person and over email, but I started to get the impression that she's not quite the sort of person I'm looking for. Previously I'd been interested in someone, but she told be to bugger off before I'd even so much as hinted at a date. In retrospect I'm very glad things didn't go farther, because she was dumb as a bag of hammers and scatterbrained as a moth on cocaine. There's an aphorism that normal people are just people you don't know very well, and that can easily be applied to nice/interesting folks as well.

Well' date=' that sucks of course, but I think that if you wouldn't have told her and started a relationship of any kind, there'd be a growing distance for sure[/quote'] Indeed. And that's what I wanted to avoid sort off. I think it's better to tell it now, instead of over a longer period and just pretending that I like her.

They say that the best relationships are coming out of friendship, and I think that's true. With this girl I talked a lot, but never about serious topics, because it didn't feel right to do so. An important thing is trust and security, but I never really felt that with her. She is kind, but in the end not my type. The only bad thing about this, is that she likes/d me and I just don't. Therefor, I feel really, really sorry for her. And in the end, I could have been a bit more nicer to her.

    • Sacred Reich "Awakening"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Whichever tier of thrash metal you consigned Sacred Reich back in the 80's/90's they still had their moments.  "Ignorance" & "Surf Nicaragura" did a great job of establishing the band, whereas "The American Way" just got a little to comfortable and accessible (the title track grates nowadays) for my ears.  A couple more records better left forgotten about and then nothing for twenty three years.  2019 alone has now seen three releases from Phil Rind and co.  A live EP, a split EP with Iron Reagan and now a full length.

      Notable addition to the ranks for the current throng of releases is former Machine Head sticksman, Dave McClean.  Love or hate Machine Head, McClean is a more than capable drummer and his presence here is felt from the off with the opening and title track kicking things off with some real gusto.  'Divide & Conquer' and 'Salvation' muddle along nicely, never quite reaching any quality that would make my balls tingle but comfortable enough.  The looming build to 'Manifest Reality' delivers a real punch when the song starts proper.  Frenzied riffs and drums with shots of lead work to hold the interest.


      There's a problem already though (I know, I am such a fucking mood hoover).  I don't like Phil's vocals.  I never had if I am being honest.  The aggression to them seems a little forced even when they are at their best on tracks like 'Manifest Reality'.  When he tries to sing it just feels weak though ('Salvation') and tracks lose real punch.  Give him a riffy number such as 'Killing Machine' and he is fine with the Reich engine (probably a poor choice of phrase) up in sixth gear.  For every thrashy riff there's a fair share of rock edged, local bar act rhythm aplenty too.

      Let's not poo-poo proceedings though, because overall I actually enjoy "Awakening".  It is stacked full of catchy riffs that are sticky on the old ears.  Whilst not as raw as perhaps the - brilliant - artwork suggests with its black and white, tattoo flash sheet style design it is enjoyable enough.  Yes, 'Death Valley' & 'Something to Believe' have no place here, saved only by Arnett and Radziwill's lead work but 'Revolution' is a fucking 80's thrash heyday throwback to the extent that if you turn the TV on during it you might catch a new episode of Cheers!

    • Overkill "The Wings of War"

      MacabreEternal posted a blog entry in Album Reviews,

      Full length number 19 from overkill certainly makes a splash in the energy stakes, I mean there's some modern thrash bands that are a good two decades younger than Overkill who can only hope to achieve the levels of spunk that New Jersey's finest produce here.  That in itself is an achievement, for a band of Overkill's stature and reputation to be able to still sound relevant four decades into their career is no mean feat.  Even in the albums weaker moments it never gets redundant and the energy levels remain high.  There's a real sense of a band in a state of some renewed vigour, helped in no small part by the addition of Jason Bittner on drums.  The former Flotsam & Jetsam skinsman is nothing short of superb throughout "The Wings of War" and seems to have squeezed a little extra out of the rest of his peers.

      The album kicks of with a great build to opening track "Last Man Standing" and for the first 4 tracks of the album the Overkill crew stomp, bash and groove their way to a solid level of consistency.  The lead work is of particular note and Blitz sounds as sneery and scathing as ever.  The album is well produced and mixed too with all parts of the thrash machine audible as the five piece hammer away at your skull with the usual blend of chugging riffs and infectious anthems.  


      There are weak moments as mentioned but they are more a victim of how good the strong tracks are.  In it's own right "Distortion" is a solid enough - if not slightly varied a journey from the last offering - but it just doesn't stand up well against a "Bat Shit Crazy" or a "Head of a Pin".  As the album draws to a close you get the increasing impression that the last few tracks are rescued really by some great solos and stomping skin work which is a shame because trimming of a couple of tracks may have made this less obvious.
