my chops are on fire right now. i just whipped out all the metallica on my solid state amp rather than the sweet tube, solid state is so heavy. it's completely brutal. i wanna crank it up but i don't wanna wake the neighbors, which is so not metal of me but maybe one day they'll say that by not conforming to the metal archetypes i returned to the foundations of metal: departure from archetypes. that's metal. this isn't your grandpa's hair metal, it's sr-77 caliber metal. waste not, want not, form follows function, raw power. brutality at its brutalest. they'll call my the Brutalest Brutalist.
