the drum fills in Takes Me Nowhere are phenomenal
straight ahead, but executed with serious violence

Very pleasantly surprised to see that #TheOffspring are on #Bandcamp. Haven't listened to this one in at least a decade, gonna use it to power through today's debugging session. :flan_hacker:

🎵 What you had and what you lost
They're all memories in the wind
Those days go by
And we all start again 🎵----
Listening to some older The Offspring albums I hadn't really checked out in the past. This is the cover of The Offspring's 2012 album "Days Go By." I'm enjoying the album. So, I decided to recreate the album cover with old man Kabuki and little kid Sasha.

Hellripper – Coronach Review By Grin ReaperTired? Irritable? Prone to bouts of melancholy that leave you feeling listless and unfocused, particularly as the weather changes? It could be seasonal affective disorder, but these symptoms can also typify a diet deficient in vitamin R(iff). If it’s the latter, Hellripper’s Coronach practically hemorrhages the cure for what ails you, parading pulse-pounding riffs, blistering solos, and enthralling grooves with palliative nonchalance. Unleashing Hellripper’s fourth album in under a decade, architect and sole member James McBain maintains a tried-and-true release schedule and, more importantly, a steady evolution of sophisticated songwriting that’s as compelling as it is emboldening. I won’t mince words—Coronach is an undeniable corker and succeeds as Hellripper’s greatest triumph to date. So run down to your local or digital dealer and grab some Coronach posthaste!
Expanding on the achievements of Hellripper’s previous albums, Coronach harnesses the charm of earlier releases and injects them with a lethal dose of vitality. Back in 2017, debut Coagulating Darkness bled its influences on its sleeve, from riffs dripping with warp-speed Venom to the guitar lead from “Bastard of Hades” pulled straight from Metallica’s “Hit the Lights.” The Affair of the Poisons shaped Hellripper’s identity with flurries of licks that, while still laced with influences, exuded a welcome dimension of originality. Three years ago, Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags’ introduced knotted, longer-form compositions that pushed out the runtime while augmenting Hellripper’s arsenal of aural ammunition. With Coronach, Hellripper strikes a balance between the lengthier arrangements of Warlocks and the breakneck blackened bangers of yore, amplified by stellar performances throughout.
Coronach (24-bit HD audio) by Hellripper
Coronach overflows with electrifying instrumentation, and while McBain supplies most of Hellripper’s sonic ingredients, a few guests further enrich its proceedings. Searing leads and scorching solos set Coronach’s eight tracks aflame, boasting some of the hookiest guitar-playing I’ve heard this year. “Hunderprest” and “Blakk Satanik Fvkkstorm” crackle with flashy fretwork, buoyed by longtime six-string contributor Joseph Quinlan (Desert Heretic). Similarly, “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite)” rumbles with snappy Motörheadstrong riffs before an acoustic guitar cuts in to transition the song into slinky grooves and heavy half-times. After some interplay, the pace ramps back up to close out on the intro riff. Hellripper has never lacked for earworms, yet Coronach unveils a mature understanding of dynamic songwriting that endows depth and complexity while never sounding forced or unnatural. Besides Quinlan, Jess Townsend contributes violin on “Baobhan Sith (Waltz of the Damned),” while singer Marianne returns to lend her vocals on a few tracks and Antonio Rodriguez reprises the bagpipes on closer “Coronach.” Vacuous’s Max Southall even bestows some percussive flair on “Mortercheyn.” Between himself and the talented musicians he’s assembled, it’s clear that while McBain is comfortable with his supporting cast, he’s determined not to put out the same album twice.
What impresses me most with Coronach is that McBain manages to broaden Hellripper’s auditory palette without ever losing the band’s core identity. “Hunderprest” and “Coronach” brim with the band’s trademark rippin’ riffs, yet the solos recall southern rock shredding à la Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Outlaws played at one-and-a-half speed. “Sculptor’s Cave,” meanwhile, channels what El Cuervo affectionately dubbed ‘Motörhead on cocaine’ energy during its “Rock ‘n’ Roll”-informed solo. A pervasive punk attitude also shimmers beneath the surface of Coronach, where the unadorned guitar refrains from “Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite),” “Sculptor’s Cave,” and “Mortercheyn” evoke more technical versions of Bad Religion and The Offspring. Tying it all together and allowing the myriad influences to coalesce, the mix ensures this is the best Hellripper has sounded, retaining their raw edge while dialing back the ‘everything louder than everything else’ approach that afflicted past albums—The Affair of the Poisons in particular.
Doubtlessly, Hellripper has dropped their finest release so far with Coronach, though a few small adjustments could have boosted it to undisputed excellence. “Baobhan Sith (Waltz of the Damned)” runs a tad too long, and although I like “Mortercheyn,” it doesn’t quite live up to the heights of the other tracks. Even so, I unapologetically return to Coronach again and again with no signs of slowing down. Just remember—Coronach must be taken while driving or operating heavy machinery. If lethargy creeps in or your mouth runs dry from a chronic deficit of Vitamin R, just take one to two doses of Coronach (by ear) and wait for Hellripper’s restorative fix to kick in.1

Did anyone think of #TheOffspring as #punk? I thought they were more alternative rock. Their songs do tackle subject matter. But I don't think they sounded like many other punk bands.

“Poems About Love And Punk Rock” By Joe McNally
Let’s cut the noise for a second. We all know the legendary stories of ’90s punk, the stadium tours, the multi-platinum records, the endless, chaotic energy that seemed to define a couple of generations. But what happens when the volume finally drops? What happens when the tour van breaks down for the last time, and you’re left with a thousand bad decisions ringing in your ears? That’s the messy, beautiful, and honest territory that Joe McNally steers in his book, Poems About Love And Punk Rock. McNally, a guy who actually lived that life (Voodoo Glow Skulls, Green Day and The Offspring touring member as a trumpet player, and many more bands along the way), delivered a book that goes beyond the typical band memoir. It’s about the life behind the gigs, about addiction, chaos, and the long recovery that led to sixteen years of sobriety and a second act as a teacher and writer. This book is a collection of short stories and poems written over the years, but they originated as spoken-word performance pieces. They were literally hammered out on stage and at open mics, designed to be read aloud, read in a way that a simple, smart, and honest man would tell a story to a friend. You feel that intimate connection on every page. The style just crackles with the energy of a verbal delivery. It’s brutally honest at times, wildly impulsive and sentimental at others. It reads like a conversation over a few late-night cups of coffee.
The poems are truly small stories in themselves, and each one carries its own distinct message, a sharp piece of pain, a dose of joy, or a quiet plea for hope. Because the stories are short and punchy, designed for maximum impact at a reading, they paint these incredibly vivid images into your mind, and let me tell you, not all of these images are pretty. McNally doesn’t flinch when talking about the dark side of touring life, the stuff that was, unfortunately, standard punk rock fare back then. He pulls no punches on tales of suicide, the struggle with drug addiction, street fights like the one that earned him a Rolling Stone feature with bandages on his head, and the heartbreaking trail of relationships destroyed by constant motion and chaos. He captures the essence of a life where hope and self-destruction were often locked in a death match. Despite the rough content, the stories are painted with a sympathetic tone towards the positive side of life. the search for hope and redemption. McNally is documenting the fall, but he’s also celebrating the fact that he got back up. The whole collection is weighted by the perspective of a person who has survived the trauma and found clarity.
The stories are centered around the ’90s punk scene and the zaniness of the touring life, the shared stages with legends like Voodoo Glow Skulls, Green Day, The Offspring, Rancid, NOFX, and Sublime, but the true heart of the book deals with universal, fundamental human issues like love, friendship, hope, and the long, winding road to redemption. It’s a book about addiction and recovery, chaos and the quiet power of choosing clarity. It’s about the life that exists when the stage lights are off, and the crowd noise is gone. This book is designed to be read in bits and pieces, which is perfect for a modern attention span. You can absorb a simple, exciting story that was told countless times verbally over the years and now finally exists in a permanent format. It’s a book you leave on your bedside table or toss into your bag, it doesn’t demand a massive time commitment, but it rewards you instantly with raw, genuine insight. Poems About Love And Punk Rock is an essential document for anyone who has ever loved punk rock or struggled to find their footing in the world. It’s a bridge between the reckless legend of the ’90s punk scene and the hard-won wisdom of adulthood. If you want the real, behind-the-scenes truth of what it takes to live a life fueled by noise and eventually find peace, you need this book. It’s fantastic.
