At some point, one must admit that all religion is the same at its core: you either believe in some divine force underlying life and pushing it toward good, or not. Everything else is grafted-on control methods to fit the culture that produced the religion in order to keep it healthy.

Back when Dissection and Sentenced were the only bands to pick up on the hybrid of speed metal and death metal that Merciless pioneered and then add more Iron Maiden harmonized guitars and melody, Sacramentum stood out as having a darker aesthetic and more melancholic but aggressive spirit.

Yet again we gather to worship the metal of death with the National Day of Slayer, an answer to the National Day of Prayer which posits that we should enjoy life and do what is logical instead of wallowing in distinctions of “good” and “evil.”

We should talk about dark organization in metal: whenever humans set up something thriving, it dies from within because individuals defer to the will of the herd, and also, under cover of that, individuals act against the goals of the group in order to advance their personal power interests.
