    Please do "The Window" by Black Dahlia Murder. It is lyrically one of the darkest songs they have done, but from a musical and production stand point I think it's one of THE BEST songs they've ever done!

    Am I mistaken but did Adam D of KSE produce this album? I know he had his hands on a lot of album productions for many bands around the time.

    when i was a young lad learning double bass techniques i reached out to shannon via email and he took the time to reply to me and help me out. i will never forget that. i played in metal bands for 12 years after that and one of my best skills was my feet. i really appreciate the small amount of time he took to reply.

    I don't keep any kind of negative energy from brutal music. For me it is all in the vocal delivery that i come the awe that I'm seeking. In the same way than some melodic death metal that would have some kind of theistic lyrics. I'm not believer, but sometime parts of it still can make sense to me. And whatever if it dos or not. When something catch me in the music &/or vocal delivery. It's simple, I'm sold to the song. I don't exactly know why, but putting myself in the extremes with music like melodic death gives me some kind of energy; like nothing else. And it is actually helping me so much to be calmer & more posed when I'm facing adversity in reality.

    Man, I've listened to this song and album so many times, I used to listen to it at least once a day walking home from school. I always have so much nostalgia listening to this album now. TBDM have always been one of my favorite bands, and this is one of my favorite albums from them! Of Darkness Spawned might be my favorite on this album. To A Breathless Oblivion really hits different after Trevor passed away... :/ Speaking of favorite bands, I'd love to see you guys react to some Be'lakor! 😁 When it comes to the lyrics and fascination, and the things Judson was talking about with how healthy or potentially "risky" (for lack of a more accurate word) it is to write about and constantly listen to this stuff, I think it must heavily depend from person to person. I say this because I've been listening to stuff like TBDM for like 20+ years since I was in middle school, and playing violent video games my whole life, and even after all that, real life violence/blood/gore makes me intensely uncomfortable/disturbed and even realistic gore in movies can be hard to look at for me. I've gotten more comfortable with it lyrically since the first time, but I've never felt any more comfortable with the real thing, let alone had any kind of desire or positive feeling toward it. Also as far as how I view it, I view it like any other fiction. It's no different from the villain in something like Lord of the Rings. Sauron and the Witch King are badass characters and they're awesome to see in the movies and I'd buy like an art print or figurine of them, but obviously they're horrifically bad people who I'd _never_ praise in real life. The battles with the giant armies are really cool and entertaining on screen, but I wouldn't ever want to actually see or participate in a graphic and brutal war like that in real life. I don't see why lyrics like this would be any different. I feel the same with a song about like satan and demons as I do about Sauron or Voldemort (plus I think they're equally fictional). I'm not sure that I'd say it's inherently bad, but if anything I'd be more worried about people who love to watch true crime documentaries and read books about serial killers etc. In those cases they're obsessing over the actual thing at least.

    There's almost endless accounts of animals killing for fun. Young male elephants will crush an animal and then effectively dance around to show off, it isn't until they're in a herd of males where the oldest male teaches them what's acceptable behavior. It's honestly all over the place and there is probably utility for our species historically to have some of these monsters running around. I think the conditions a person grows up in can take the a small smolder of psychopathy and stoke it into a fire, history has endless examples. I also think we've all got a little of that in us. Horror can scratch at ich in us that we have because we're so removed from death and violence today. My mom had to kill a chicken to eat chicken, a lot of people today can't handle raw meat. Life used to be full of brutal illness and you watched people die all around you often when they were young. Trevor is a great loss and maybe he was too pointed toward that stuff, but let's not pretend we're able to diagnose what was going on there. Parents since Elvis have been doing that and we're not psychologists. Another quick note on the medical vs. recreational gore and work, I totally agree that the morals are clear in that case, but it still effects the people doing the work. People in the medical fields are often found to have decreased empathy and there's a ton of them taking serious emotional damage from the work. I've heard it described as flipping a switch by some doctors, they tell parents that their kid is going to die and then completely break down when they get out of the room, but if they survive it, eventually they can disconnect emotionally from the situations, but it can be difficult to turn it back on.

    To me, the lyrical content of BDM, as a listener at least, is simply an acknowledgement of the terrible aspects of life. And with that it is an expansion of consciousness.

    Interesting examination of the potential feedback loop for artists exploring the extreme edges of human behaviour. For me it comes down to the difference between fascination and fantasising. One can lead to the other, but doesn't necessarily have to. I enjoy a good hacker / slasher flick, am a fan of metal, although not usually this black, and have also written some fiction with pretty dark stuff in it, BUT if pushed then I'll probably give my favourite film as the Incredibles and favourite TV show as Bluey. And the thing with music with this type of vocals, I'm willing to bet that Richard would love it just as much if the lyrics were in a different language.

  • @elarbean848

    I feel like I've been saved by Trevor's lyrics, especially songs like To A Breathless Oblivion, and Receipt. That dark thoughts aren't as isolating as we believe, others think these thoughts and have these feelings, and that doesn't make you dark or bad and most importantly, you aren't alone in that space. It's not glorifying to me but an exploration of these dark spaces, not to indulge, but to understand.

    I still struggle to listen to Receipt after his passing, because the song is heavy as f and the lyrics are waaay too direct to the point. But "To a Breathless Oblivion" is so melodic, beautiful and poetic that I can't help myself.

    I hear you, you can almost hear how devoted he was to ending it, it always gives me physical chills. However, as someone who wrestles with the concept myself, it's a somber reminder that it's not an individual struggle, many people face the same turmoil and in a world that so readily chooses not to look at it, Trevor's words are almost hopeful in that we can at least talk about it, and give some focus to that, for lack of a better term, demon..

    Super interesting conversation! Where does morbid curiosity come from and are there consequences of indulging in it too much, as either a writer or listener? I wonder, do people who listen to this music have lyrics stuck in their head the same way you would Take on Me? Hearing anybody sing under their breath about necromantic sin or removal of the eyes, I’d run not walk away from that person, respectfully. 😅
