It's been a long time

Uzumaki: If you have read and liked Stephen King's Tommyknockers , you should definitely take a look at this horror manga. Like the small town of Haven in Stephen King's novel, the residents in KurĂ´zu-cho comes under a strange curse that lead many of them to do insane shit. The artwork is also not your common manga style and is really suitable for telling these kinds of stories. Very pretty too. 19 chapters with an additional bonus chapter.


Parasyte: Another 'horror' manga. This one can be best described as John Carpenter's The Thing meets Spiderman meets X-files. Though the plot is basically alien parasites invading human bodies and other living creatures, Parasyte is really a thought provoking series that discusses the food pyramid. The artwork here is plain but would not be considered ugly. Thanks to the crazy parasytes themselves and the violence, you will overlook the bland artwork. 64 Chapters.

Go to DMC

Ahh... Oh..oh.
This movie was released last year in Japan but it's only going to be shown in the cinemas here soon. I think this must be the second best news I have heard so far this year.



Man, that crazy boss's voice is fucking sexy!

Some soundtracks:

Yeah whatever

0622:

Walking through sleepy streets
As blue smoke dances in the air
With tequila on the tongue
The next lie is not too far
If you believe
Planets align, a star‘s dying
Everything’s fine, an angel’s trying
Your life's not what it seems
Not like your elaborate dreams
And now hold your breath in the flow...
Feeding off each other,

We are part of their
midnight show
Ha, a smile can tear one from reality
In this drugged paradise city
And you were left
To find a name to blame
Oh man, your gods and my devils are the same

All the pain was fine
There were reasons to shine
Got lost in your tears
Drowning in the light in your eyes

In the wind a young gossip flies
Smiles holding back lies, judged by the blind
Lost a turn with the role of the dice
Your little heart cried and died...
Pin a thought on the wall
But there was beauty that set you free
No time to dream, no time to breathe
Just listen
Through the cracks you knew
There was nothing left to carry
It was a demand too many
You knew, didn’t you?

All the pain was fine
There were reasons to shine
Got lost in your tears
Drowning in the light in your eyes

There's an old saying...

Oh well, apparently this rich China dude ran a beauty contest for his 5 mistresses. And it did not end well. Somebody died. It kind of reminds me of Rodney Dangerfield's My 5 Wives movie except there is no relation between the movie and the China man story other than the number 5. That booby trap scene was nice.

Read the story here.

There's also another saying:Do not accompany the article with stupid fucking pictures that make no fucking sense . And don't pay the photographer because it is like sticking your head in the toilet bowl and licking the shit.

Holy Metal Balls

Ah thank you faceless people of the Internet realm who bother to scan Japanese manga and translate them. You make me truly happy.

Detroit Metal City (DMC)
: Negishi Soichi is a pansy and a loser with a haircut resembling a dick head and despite wanting to make and sell his shitty pop music, he can only gain popularity as Johannes Krauser II, the lead singer of a death metal band known as DMC.



What makes this manga an enjoyable read is that not many people outside the band knows that he is Krauser II and he wants to keep it this way. And throughout the story, Negishi is being this mild mannered boy and he believes that he wants to be true to himself even if he is more popular in DMC. Despite all this, like a real life loser, he can't help but get into situations where he is ignored, pushed over, ridiculed and even back stabbed. These are the times when his alter ego, the 'Demon King' kicks in and he will get the courage to say FUCK YOU!!! to the people who stirred his shit.

This story is all about the fucking irony. The world decides your true personality.
Series is ongoing.

Chris V, you should totally check this manga out and here's a video for all of you.

It seems even...


Anyway found this interview online..





There are some crazy fucking fans interviewed here that I don't want to be seen hanging out with but there are really some things I myself am guilty of. I can't seem to say 'Slayer' in a normal voice. I must actually scream the word out like I have been possessed by Linda Blair's demon. And when I am walking past a guy in a Slayer T-shirt, I will tell him that is a damn nice tee. I cannot help it. If I don't say it, my throat gets all irritated and itchy and I will feel like I need to take a shit.

Later on, they actually interview Kirk Hammett. For some reason he beats around the bush but all he is trying to say is Slayer fans are more hardcore than Metallica fans. The poor guy. Lars Ulrich must have standing across the room pointing a gun at him.

Check out this comic, Bakuman which tells the story of two students who wish to become professional mangaka. If you're wondering how the Japanese comic industry works, this manga will provide you the answers.



Also check out this well written article which tells us the basics of a BATTLE MANGA!

Death Magnetic Review

Ah, this is the damn album I have been waiting for from Metallica. Unlike St. Anger, this album IS a Thrash Metal record and in my opinion it is definitely on par with what the other old school bands like Overkill and Testament are releasing these days. It's time to get that Metallica T-shirt out of the cupboard again. Don't download this album. Go out and fucking buy it because they deserve it.

Maybe these videos will get you interested




If I were to buy albums based on the art on the sleeve, I will probably be owning a lot of Indie shit.
Anyway here's an interesting list of album sleeves.
