In my opinion, extreme metal is the last and greatest movement in music. It is the pursuit of pure emotion, most famously anger and resilience, though notably also sadness, thoughtfulness, and would you believe it; happiness. It is birthed from all other genres; classical movement, jazz technicality, blues attitude, and natu... More..
Pity? Whats pity when envy sets in? Its just a word passed between apes, Wide grins swallowing the poor A couple of pennies, maybe a dime Nothing more, no thoughts Bitterness? Am I old now? What's bitterness when all is lost Yet nothing is earned? Money is nothing and pleasure is fleeting Smiling up at the sky from the grave... More..
If I were to die? What then? How far does time extend? When will the beating heart stop beating?When will the liar shut his mouth and the thousand holy starving mouths swallow their tongues? Will tears form rivers around my grave and wash me away? Will It be painful? Will it be peaceful? How long is eternity? More..

Steven Wilson,multiinstrumentalist and vocalist, founder of the band, is widely considered one of the most influential ... More..
Gravy and sauces are the clothing of any dish. I dare anyone to disagree with that statement. Think about it, throwing your mind back to every cooking program or expensive restaurant you have ever partaken of. Do you remember, with of course minor exceptions, any main courses or starters which lacked a god sauce, or a dazzli... More..
Despair is a kind of inevitabality. More importantly, its a step towards maturity. Absolute misery has to be understood before full comprehension of the self can be realised. That sounds pretty loud, but I'd say it wasn't far from the truth. So what am I talking about? Well, I deem maturity as the natural step after the chil... More..
Of course they don't. Nothing of that nature ever does. Cars and houses and... anything material to be perfectly honest. Except honest neccessities. A designer watch suggests by its very name that it has been designed, implying a unique entity that will define you from a crowd. The truth is that its a watch, hidden by your s... More..
