Wheat beers can be hit or miss. When they hit, they have a flavor like fresh bread with a twist of lemon, if you can imagine such a thing; when they fail, they taste like American grocery store bread, basically sweetness with a hint of grain in the background.

While many of their riffs are clearly inspired by the early years of Carcass, Sick Sinus Syndrome introduce variety to this often tired formula by taking an aggressive approach comparable to Terrorizer, Repulsion, or Blood. In the grindcore tradition, most songs on this album consist of two themes juxtaposed, frequently a rising and falling action, sometimes presaged by an introduction.

In the idiosyncratic anomalies of metal, Global Warming stands out for being a death metal album with thrash vocals and occasional heavy metal influences which come from the more confrontational side of that genre instead of the groovy, relaxed side.

Cherry MX Board 1.0 red switch wired mechanical keyboard
$50
Many of you play games, and many others are simply nerds, so you probably have interest in mechanical keyboards. The problem you face arises from most of the buying audience being hipsters who gravitate toward $300 feature-laden keyboards that offer no additional function.

I wish I could report a greater success here, since this beer is from our Scots-Irish neighbors to the North in Dallas, but this beer takes an IPA and moves it closer to an American adjunct beer. Heavy overtones of citrus, squash, and boiled grain afflict what is otherwise a solid IPA.

No one doubts that hipsters must die, but first we should thank them for bestowing upon us the resurgence of India Pale Ales. These get beer past the soft drink phase by reducing sweetness and instead dialing up the slightly spicy hops bitterness for a cleanly refreshing beer.

The first track here must be the first song the band ever composed, because it’s a bad indicator of what the bulk of material on this demo has in store for the listener. After a brief foray into a low-tech take on early Morbid Angel, Lord of Plague then launch into two pieces that bring to mind the churning music of Floridian acts such as Monstrosity, Malevolent Creation, or Resurrection.

Another promising act relinquishes its potential to the roar of the crowd. Laceration released one of the more note-worthy albums of 2021 with their debut, Demise, taking the deft, speed-metal influenced rhythms of early death metal and placing them within the context of a dark ambiance reminiscent of Demigod.

Every day, black metal tries to escape its past and get to the moment before that past when the why of black metal was clearer, because only from striving for that goal can black metal recapture its sense of beauty, melancholy, and transcendent balance of light and dark.

Moving through the underground without noticing Deceased over the past three decades would prove difficult, and many of us know this band as an early effort to bring heavy metal technicality to death metal at a time when the genre was still considered primitive.
