This is the third or fourth album he's done bitching about Trump lol. Wow.
His TDS has ruined his streak of his Republican-bashing albums being better than his Democrat-in-Power works. Now all his contemporary music sucks in general.
Shame, if he had retired as planned with Rio Grande Blood/The Last Sucker, he'd have a solid discography and legacy.
Now he's just an antifa cheerleader who thinks crustpunks are the epitome of genuine.
He got a lot of has-beens like Biafra and Newman in his new album too, lol.

"Rage for the machine" apparently
Yeah but at least RATM were genuinely good musicians with good songs. Al here is just half-assing it and recycling material/beats from better days. He will never make another Thieves.

sang by Type O negative dude... classic
IIRC he got a lot of flak for it, to the point ToN were labelled a Nazi band. Pete had to go on a campaign at every magazine saying he was ackshually mocking racists.
Even in the 90s you weren't allowed to actually be extreme or edgy unless it was toward the right/approved targets.

The lyrics to Race War clearly state if a race war occurred "No one wins we all lose" which realistically is true.
That said the first ToN album was also originally written for Carnivore and includes this song regarding crack smoking welfare cases. The rest of ToN's discography would be much softer than their first album.
 
Always love to see a Euro acknowledge the superior Power Metal continent. Granted, you guys have us beat on almost every other subgenre.
It's a shame that the American style is pretty much dead compared to the Euro style of power metal. Even melodic USPM like Savatage and Crimson Glory just goes harder than even the most rough (in a good way) Euro power metal bands like Grave Digger.
 
Saw Lamb of God in Brisbane a few weeks ago. Fucking amazing man. Melbourne and Sydney crowds absolutely suck. All the cunts just stand there and film, whereas people in Brisbane were actually moshing hard and going ballistic.

The live versions of Blacken the Cursed Sun, Walk With Me In Hell and Now You've Got Something to Die For are just unreal.
