You fucking tool, the guys name is ZILTOID for shit’s sake, and you are saying he “…will not put himself out there to enjoy more popular groups simply because he’s afraid he will like them and be forced to associate with other human beings who share similar taste.” Popular? Do you know who Devin Townsend is? No? How about Strapping Young Lad? hmmm, maybe you should leave here, and continue fisting yourself.

You bastard, you actually got me to pre-order this shit. (not from this comment of course, from the interview and stuff. and partially the local-ness of the band). Congratulations.

No, it was him creating some stupid fantasy courtroom rambling about things. It’s the equivalent of Dane Cook’s humor to be perfectly honest, and he’s awful.

What the fuck are you talking about you fucking sponge-brained cock sucker?! All of a sudden I am a prententious metal elitst asshole because I called you out for being an illiterate fuck even though I haven’t once mentioned my musical preference?

I can only assume you were beaten viciously about the head quite often as a child which would explain your unbelievable dumbfuckery that I have read so far.

It’s because people don’t have good taste in pets. That guinea pig is amazing.

Thanks Kim! I’m also quite pleased with the positive reception that Cormorant is getting here.

You weren’t too harsh at all.

a) 20, and frankly, today’s posts are nowhere near my better writings from when I was younger (16-18). The Iced Earth satire was a nice thing for me to do (I’ve never written satire before, and I consider it a success.), but for the most part, I prefer analytical papers on literature or science.
b) I’m a student. I wrote all of these articles/interviews either while on the way to college, or during the first week, which consisted of mostly moving in, intro classes, and a few parties. I certainly had less time than in any other week this summer, but that’s not an excuse or anything–I’m happy with my writings.
c) Megadeth is the best of the four if you ask me, but even so, listening to them bores me a lot. My general predisposition against thrash combined with the generally boring nature of the big 4 just makes them a chore to listen to. If you MUST listen to thrash, I suggest stuff like Overkill, Exodus, Sodom, Destruction, Kreator, Heathen, etc., even though those bands get old and repetitive really quickly as well.

Cheers as well! (wow, respectable conversation on MS? What the hell?)

Blood of the Tyrant fucking RULE! You’ll be hearing a lot more about them soon, as I’ve just started working with them as well.

Ziltoid – fucking ace interview, man. Thanks so much for the Cormorant love – I’m glad to see that people have reacted so positively to them. I’ll let you know as soon as I can about the vinyl version – still working out details!

No, just weird, then my sister mentioned you were cute, and in the rest of my dream just hanging around, and other stuff.

I’d have to argue with you on ‘informative’, the only really informative post was the interview. I suppose the hexlust recommendation would count also but there really wasn’t much else. The link to free albums on the internet isn’t exactly real news, finding stuff for free is the 90% of the point of the internet :)

But I also don’t really see whats wrong with linking stuff from other sites. Not all of us have enough free time to constantly ready a half dozen metal news sites. I generally stick to metalsucks, and every now and then when I have free time I’ll wander elsewhere. I like having a centralized place that links to stuff that I may find interesting.

I got a message from Arthur about the album packages, and they’re great!

ALL PRE-ORDERS COME WITH A FREE SIGNED POSTER OF THE ALBUM ART. That’s a two dollar value you get just for pre-ordering. Also, any package deal will include a free white on black sticker of our new logo. We sell stickers for $1 at shows, so that’s a lot of free swag.

Anyway, pricing/package deals (not including shipping):
Metazoa 6-panel digipak: $12
Shirt (either album art, blue logo, or black logo): $15
Metazoa + shirt + sticker: $25 (you save $3 off standard combined price)
Metazoa + Last Tree + sticker: $18 (you save $3)
Metazoa + shirt + Last Tree + sticker : $30 (you save $6)
[Mega deal] Metazoa + logo shirt + album art shirt + Last Tree + TWO stickers (one of the old logo one of the new one): $40 (you save $12. OH SNAP)

Unless I run into some major technical problems, pre-orders will open on September 1st, sometime during the evening most likely. I’ll make a post about it when it’s available. Don’t get antsy if it’s a little late, it will be up as soon as I possibly can (day job, blah blah blah). Setting up all the different Paypal package deals can get kind of complicated. I do recommend pre-ordering, because besides the bonus poster, I WILL SHIP OUT BEFORE STREET DATE.

I think someone asked about vinyl pricing. I don’t know that yet, and it will be up to Saturnine Media. I know we want to do one regular black vinyl version, and one limited, blue + cream vinyl swirl. Those won’t be out for several months though.

I never go for the deluxe packages for albums (usually overpriced for just an extra track or so), but this shall be the exception. That Mega Deal is amazing!

Is it truly so difficult to fathom that perhaps there was an influx of people who coincidentally happened to be online at the same time and who all were appreciative of Mister Ziltoid? In all honesty, this is a site for metal news-”generic” is likely to be an appropriate term to describe the names used at any such place, I highly doubt that it would be indicative of anything dishonest.

Hi Ziltoid,

Thanks for replying to my comment.

I hope I wasn’t too harsh with my comment. I do commend your effort because you seem to be very passionate about the bands that you have written about… I’ll give it another read and get back to you…

Btw, I have a few questions, mostly personal –
a) How old are you? (I ask because if you’re under 24 then the writing is very good)
b) Do you work / study? (I ask because if you’re working then the little time you had for putting up these articles was definitely less and hence the writing is very good, if that is the case)
c) I understand that you dont like much of the mainstream stuff but, does that mean you dont like the Big 4 of the ’80s?

Cheers!

Anyone else notice the glut of generically named commenters praising Z’s work between 3:25-3:46 on Aug. 28th?

Just sayin’.
