Seasons - Silversurfers
Seasons When the wondrous heat of Summer, has begun to fade away, And the first great shower of Summer rain, deigns to invade our day. The petrichor, such fragrant aroma, delights our sense of smell, And man, woman, and child all know, that everything is well. When leaves and flowers have gently drooped, and birds less sing. ’Tis then mens feelings, lightly turn to thoughts of love, not Spring.
Why The Cult Recorded Their 'Electric' Album Twice
On April 6, 1987, the Cult released their seminal LP Electric, an album which was actually recorded twice. Electric was the follow-up to 1985’s post-punk/gothic rock triumph Love, which produced the hit “She Sells Sanctuary,” as well as the singles “Rain” and “Revolution.” It was the band's breakthrough record, coming on the heels of 1984’s Dreamtime, which had them firmly ensconced in the burgeoning U.K. goth scene.

Why 'God Hates Us All' Is Slayer's Last Great Album
Mike Hill is the founding vocalist/guitarist for Brooklyn-based avant-garde black metal outfit Tombs. He's also the host of the Everything Went Black podcast, and the owner of Savage Gold Coffee. The bar for greatness is set pretty high for a band like Slayer. Over the course of the 30-plus-year career they have delivered classic records such as Hell Awaits, Reign in Blood, South of Heaven and Seasons in the Abyss.
In Defense of 'Diabolus in Musica': Slayer's Most Hated Album
Mike Hill is the founding vocalist/guitarist for Brooklyn-based avant-garde black-metal outfit Tombs. He's also the host of the Everything Went Blackpodcast, and the owner of Savage Gold Coffee. One of the reasons that Slayer have had such an illustrious, time-honored career is their consistency.
Never Miss a Story...
Mike Hill is the founding vocalist/guitarist for Brooklyn-based avant-garde black-metal outfit Tombs. He's also the host of the Everything Went Black podcast, and the owner of Savage Gold Coffee. I have always embraced each Slayer release, including the much-maligned Diabolus in Musica. What I have always loved about Slayer, and thrash in general, is the way that punk was integrated into metal, despite the fact that the respective scenes' fans were in often opposition to each other.
Notes from the Combat Underground: Brooklyn Fiasco (The McGregor Incident)
It was supposed to be one of the most anticipated fight cards of the year. At long last, Interim Champ Tony Ferguson and Number 1 contender Khabib Nurmagomedov were set to square off and settle who would carry the championship mantle of the lightweight division, dethroning the delinquent Conor McGregor. You may remember way back in November 2016 he defeated Eddie Alvarez at Madison Square Garden to become the UFC’s first “Two Division Champ,” only to split from MMA to pursue his career in boxing.
Notes from the Combat Underground: Max Holloway versus Khabib Murgmagomedov
Initially, it seemed like an April Fool’s gag. Days before their long-awaited contest, the fourth time the two have been scheduled to meet, news breaks that Tony Ferguson is injured and his fight against Khabib Murgmagomedov for the lightweight title has been called off.
Notes From the Combat Underground: Clash of the Titans | Decibel Magazine
Daniel Cormier and Stipe Miocic are undeniably two of the most under-appreciated champions in the UFC. Neither have been huge pay-per-view draws, and the new breed of MMA fans have eschewed them in favor of a bunch of dudes that wear leather jackets without shirts and dark glasses. They’re just just not those kinds of guys. Miocic, to this day, is an active firefighter in Cleveland and has a no-frills, lunch pail approach to fighting; he just shows up, kicks ass and collects a check.
Notes from the Combat Underground: The Eagle Has Landed | Decibel Magazine
Khabib “The Eagle” Nurmagomedov entered the UFC in 2012 with a 16-0, undefeated record and put the entire lightweight division on notice. Since then, he hasn’t lost a fight and has improved his record to 25-0. At UFC 219, the promotion’s close-out event for 2017, he cemented his claim for the throne with his one-sided, brutal domination over Edson Barboza.
Notes From the Combat Underground: The UFC Belt Game | Decibel Magazine
In a perfect world, being champion would mean that not only were you the best, but you would take on all comers until someone better, stronger or more skilled could take you out. The term “champion” had value at one time in the UFC, but in the post-Zuffa era, that accolade means next to nothing. The UFC was founded on the principle of trying to determine which martial art is the best, most effective form of combat.
Notes From the Combat Underground: Who's Next to Face McGregor? | Decibel Magazine
Conor McGregor, love him or hate, has left an indelible mark on MMA. Along with Ronda Rousey, he is one of the few fighters who have become household names outside of the octagon, in mainstream culture. You can grab ten random people on the street and nine of them will know the crazy Irishman that knocks people out with his big left hand.
