    This is probably bad for Telarico. Being friends with pedophiles is a major plus for today's Republicans.

  8. Wildhunt – Aletheia Review By Andy-War-Hall

    The calendar turns, and what better way to celebrate the coming year than an album that sounds straight out of the late 80s? Austria’s Wildhunt have been slinging out classic thrash/heavy metal since 2011, but have until this year produced only one record: 2016’s Descending. Ten years is a long time to cook up a sophomore record, and Wildhunt via Jawbreaker Records boasts of “a mix of detail-loving, energetic metal and epic song structures” for album number two, Aletheia. Cited as being for fans of Metallica, Heathen, King Diamond and Megadeth, Wildhunt runs the risks of any band explicitly evoking the distant past: coming off as geriatric nostalgia-bait. Is this Wildhunt’s fate, or can they rise above and make Aletheia a blast from the present-past?

    Wildhunt may play the kind of stuff Ronald Reagan could’ve heard, but Altheia doesn’t sound like the kind of record Reagan could’ve played either. Recalling at once the prog-thrash of Heathen on “Made Man” and “The Holy Pale” and the 70s hard rockin’ of Rainbow on “Touching the Ground” and “Aletheia,” Wildhunt play an inherently backward-looking style that still sounds fresh out of the garage. The guitar duo of Wolfgang Elwitschger and Julian Malkmus draw heavily from the schools of Hetfield and Blackmore, dropping muscular palm-muted riffs and nimbly melodic leads and solos, while bassist Robbie Nöbauer regularly works in lines that play with the six-string like Cliff Burton licks (“Kanashibari”). Rhythmically, drummer Lukas Lobnig lays down driving patterns that propel Wildhunt through all of the wild turns that Aletheia has, most notably on the gargantuan prog numbers of “Made Man” and “Sole Voyage.” Top it off with Elwitschger’s booming baritone—warm, silky and vintage as Aletheia’s dynamic mixing and mastering—and you get an album expertly performed and deeply indebted to the sounds of yesteryear.

    Aletheia by Wildhunt

    Though Wildhunt won’t surprise you with novelty, Aletheia might catch you off-guard with its adventurous, progressive songwriting. Wildhunt forgo simple catchiness and repetitive loops on Aletheia in favor of untypical, tension-building intervals and progressions. Songs spiral out into bridge-filled bonanzas of killer riffs and solos, getting into Megadeth speeds on “The Holy Pale,” majestic prog-power hooks on “Sole Voyage” á la Tanagra and, in the album’s most unexpected turn, a diversion into smooth salsa also on “Sole Voyage.” Furthering Wildhunt’s eccentricity, Aletheia deal in dark, thoughtful, and fantastical lyricism. When Elwitchger opines on “Aletheia” that “hypocrisy is the tribute that vice pays to virtue,” I perk up immediately, every time. If you’re looking for familiarity and easy listening, Aletheia is for you; if you’re looking for something expansive and daring, Aletheia is also for you.

    But with how many twists and turns Wildhunt throw at the listener, Aletheia can feel surprising blunted at times. Aletheia is dramatic, and its songs go a lot of directions, but they rarely build to the big, explosive moments to accent their highs and lows. For example, though Elwitchger’s voice is plenty good, it sounds like he sticks too closely to his most comfortable range and, though he never comes off as strained as a result, it feels like he’s not quite giving it all. “Made Man” and “In Frozen Dreams” exemplify this issue, as even though each segment of them is interesting, they don’t really build up to much, and as such feel a little meandering. Similarly, the two instrumentals “Touching the Ground” and “Kanashibari” sit in a weird middle ground of being too involved to pass off as interludes but not quite substantial enough to work as stand-alone songs. Aletheia isn’t devoid of memorable moments—”The Holy Pale” and “Aletheia” have killer choruses and “Sole Voyage” is a blast front to back1—but with how much creativity Wildhunt possess it should be more electrifying than it is.

    Aletheia isn’t the face of metal to come in 2026,2 but it’s a fun and energetic morsel of heavy metal regardless, and what more does anything need to be? If the previous paragraph came off as overly harsh, it’s only because the skill and creativity Wildhunt exudes make it easy to imagine how great Aletheia could be if things were taken up one more notch. If any of the bands mentioned above are your cup(s) of tea, Altheia will more than likely agree to your sensibilities. It’s adventurous, well-played, lots of fun, and occasionally great. Kicking off 2026 with Wildhunt’s Altheia is no bad idea at all.

    Well, I mean, you can't have required voting and voter suppression. Let's just say that I don't think this would be a Republican platform position...

    #TANAGRA

    And, at least on the Australian site I linked, it gives you a chance to explain why you were unable to vote.

  13. @servelan

    Also, let's stop listening to "former Republican strategists" on *anything*. They're why all of the "mainstream" Democrats keep trying to appeal to Republican voters instead of Democratic ones, and losing because they try to be mid-90's Republicans instead of the actual progressive party we need them to be.

    If they were good, they would not be Republicans. If they are Republicans (have an R in their party affiliation, voters or elected officials), then they are implicitly supporting and accepting corruption, fascism, bigotry, racism, pedophiles, and the dismantling of the American Republic. And someone like that can't be good.

    Republicans are attempting to eliminate courts' enforcement mechanisms, leaving them powerless.

    Americans are being left hungry, sick, uneducated, and *dead*, in favor of more tax cuts for billionaires.

    The rule of law is being erased.

    Separation of powers is being deleted.

    America is allying with our enemies.

    Some Republicans are weakly objecting.

    But *every* Republican helped pave the road to where we are.

    There are not *any* "good" Republicans anymore.

  20. American troops are occupying one of our greatest cities, with the stated intent of overthrowing our democracy.

    I understand, but it is obscuring the true threat. If Trump and Musk eloped tomorrow and decided to spend their lives in wedded bliss living in a cave, that would still leave Vance, Thiel, and the rest of the structure that allowed for Trump and Musk in the first place. Getting rid of them is *a* win, but not *the* win.

    #TANAGRA

  23. I worry about the focus on Trump and Musk. They both need to be taken down, true, but the problem is *ALL Republicans*. They are all supporting the same agenda. They all happily walked the path that got us here. Federal, state, local, every vote, speech, and editorial was in support of the party that's been working to drive us off a cliff for 50 years. If they were good, they wouldn't be Republicans.

    *There are NOT ANY good Republicans anymore.*
