Power Metal Party

HAPPY HELLOWEEN, ASSHOLES

 Sunday, October 31st, 2010 at 12:00pm by

helloween - 7 sinnersI’m boycotting Halloween this year. I’m just over it. All the effort that goes into planning out your costume, procuring it and dressing up… and worst of all the constant TALK with EVERYONE about “what are you wearing?” and “what are you doing this year?” It’s like the obligatory weather-related elevator conversation… cringe-inducing. So over it.

But I’m most certainly not boycotting German power metallers Helloween, who have posted their brand new album 7 Sinners in its entirety on MySpace just in time for today’s festivities. We all know how I feel about bands that sing about METAL and this album’s got a song called “Are You Metal?” so it’s an automatic win in my book. Raise your fist in the air this Halloween with some tasty new Helloween as you go out dressed up as Snooki / The Situation or whatever the hot costume is this year.

    Ah, so you’re going as a jaded bitter asshole this year. Nice.

    • ditto

      no kidding grow up pussy, and quit talking sh*t on the best holiday of the year

      • Brock Sterns

        Take that, Vince. Im sure this is the last time you mess with halloween!

  • Ørsaeth

    While I don’t agree with your view on Halloween, I do agree with your view on Helloween. The album rocks.

  • hankmccain

    Shut up dork, Halloween is awesome.

    Can’t do shit this Halloween, because I ended up with the flu this weekend. Been watching a lot of Cake Boss for some reason . .

    Thanks for posting the new Helloween. Their new album is sounding pretty awesome, so far.

  • Sacajawea

    I share you’re apathy towards Halloween. It just isn’t the same, at least around here it isn’t. The fucking brats don’t even say trick or treat anymore. They just stand there with a fucking bad and look at you with this bratty little face like “Where’s my candy asshole?” I oughta shit in their fucking bags.

    Call me a jaded bitter asshole if you must.

    • Shinaain

      Same here. All the snotty little toe-rags in my neighborhood are rude as fuck, obnoxious as Hell, and just as ungrateful. Their parents are no better. Fuck ‘em. Want candy? Get a job, punk. My light is off this year.

      In addition to claiming inclusion in the club of bitter, jaded assholes, I’m also an irascible, cast-iron bitch. Times are hard. I know plenty of people whose kids’ costumes are bed sheets this year – and they ain’t Klan, let me tell you. They didn’t get Christmas last year and they won’t be getting it this year, either. Anyone who has the means to celebrate: good for you. Just quit jocking MY tits about it.

    • herdy gurdy

      you guys do realize you don’t have to give them shit if you don’t want to right?

    • crusherdestroyer

      I just got back from taking my kids and I have “the talk” with them before we go out. Keep your masks on and always say “trick or treat” and “thank you” you when they hook you up.

      I’m like you, dude. Kids comes to the door without a costume on and sit there holding the bag waiting for me to drop candy in there. I can’t handle that shit.

      Presentation and etiquette go along way with me on how much candy you get from me when you come to my door.

      The sad part about it is that these are also the same kids that will mess with your house on Halloween if you piss them off. So that has to be taken into account. How deviant the kid looks.

  • Maderchod

    You are maderchod

  • el fucko

    I think Halloween stops being fun once you turn 15. Otherwise it’s just an excuse to get shitfaced at parties while looking like a retard.

  • SP420

    This band has been irrelevant since Kai Hansen left. Why bother?

  • thelump

    Helloween has aways been good!

  • Chabbar

    St.Lucas rules! :-)

  • john

    im sooo over it meeehhhhhhhhh

    you sound like a little asshole bitch.

    im just soooo over it OMG

  • shea

    Fuck halloween. I’m 26 and it stopped being cool when I was 12. Quit kidding yourselves guys. Halloween is probably the least necessary holiday out there. There is no religious significance, there is no feeling of “community” anymore with this garbage, so why drag it on?

    I work as a 911 dispatcher in a college community and let me tell you, 5 years of dealing with 20 somethings dumb ass behavior every halloween gets old fast. Students beating each others asses, passing out in the streets and stabbing each other . Not to mention the whole town is filled with DUI checkpoints and cops are everywhere. Thanks but no thanks you can keep your fucking bastardized consumerist driven “holiday.”

    • john

      well you have fun working on halloween while the rest of us do drugs and chase women

    • Cryzthormagnusian

      It has roots in religious holidays and festivals. And as far as “consumerist driven “holiday.”” go, Halloween is not very high on that offender list.

      • Sacajawea

        Try working at Target and then come back to me and say that it’s not a big consumer driven holiday.

        • Cryzthormagnusian

          I said it wasn’t as high on the list. There are others that are much higher and meet all of the religious and community criteria that the orignal poster supported in holidays.

  • yzermantiis

    Amen shea. I hate it

    Thank fuck we don’t celebrate Halloween here in Australia… STILL, there’s people out there trying it out. They just knock on my fucking door and say ‘TRICK OR TREAT!!” expecting some fuckin lollies or some shit. Seriously kids? What’s the tricks? They don’t even know how it works. They just put their bags out and expect something from me.

    Some points to mention:
    - No outside light on (didn’t even KNOW that this meant anything until yesterday)
    - I’m pissed off that kids just say “Trick or Treat” and expect some fuckin lollies.
    - I’m Australian… living in Australia. I don’t celebrate American traditions/cultures/whatever. I don’t see why the rest of this country has to either.
    - No one in this country even knows what Halloween is. From what the American movies portray (to the kids anyway), it means you can half-arse a scary costume and walk around the streets asking for fuckin lollies whilst we’re all trying to eat dinner/drink better/get laid etc.

    It doesn’t seem like a “holiday” to me. More of an inconvenience.

    • Cryzthormagnusian

      It’s origins are not American. Then again why would I expect someone descended from rapists and murderers to know anything.

  • Hammer_Smashed_Hurtt

    Sorry but you denounce Halloween yet you endorse Helloween??! Wow..

    Too cool for Halloween >>> Height of Douchbag-ness.

    There are way too many hipsters loose in the fucking mansion.

      Wyrd. It’s like everyone here is complaining about themselves because they know that when they were kids they loved it and now they’re adults, they supposedly cannot enjoy it. Like they are the midst of a mid-to-late 20′s crisis and mentally they are acting like a 40-45 year old overweight beer drinker who is longing for glory days.

      Seriously, it’s like take a hot shower, fucking relax, and listen to your favorite music. It’s not that complicated.

  • kmfcm

    FUCK HALLOWEEN!
    Been boycotting since college.
    Fuck any “holiday” where you don’t get Monday off.

  • hankmccain

    I had an awesome Halloween and I lol at those who didn’t!

  • shea

    Crzythormagnusan whatever you say man. FACT every us holiday is a consumerist driven holiday in the US. My point was not that it was the holiday where the most money is spent, but rather that it serves not a single nation wide-accepted purpose. Before you go to argue with me realize that $1.9 billion is spent every year on halloween candy alone. That doesn’t even include costumes. All at a time where there’s no public healthcare, music teachers are being laid off and lindsay lohan dominates the news. I rest my case.

    • Cryzthormagnusian

      And canceling Halloween solves all that? If that is how you are going to “rest” your case than more power to you, but you sound silly.

      Maybe the music teachers can line up for welfare with all the out of work candy makers in your new regime.
