China was a neat
"Following on from their successful 10 Year Anniversary Tour (in Sept/Oct 2017), the UK's finest proponents of atmosphere and emotion, Winterfylleth, return in 2018 with their new album The Hallowing of Heirdom. On this, their 6th album, we once again see the band continuing to push the boundaries of their sound into new territories; this time with an entirely acoustic album comprising of 12 brand new tracks."

First track, bitches.

Neo folk, acoustic album , I like neo folk, its better music as jump core and some more extreme screaming bands what are popular now and are in metal subgenres. This music has more spirit, more heathen heritage. Its like great Halgadopm, one BM, one neo folk album, sad that band is misuncertor for things what they are not.

Apparently, some sick fuck has cut down the 300 year-old tree that is on the cover art of this album. I sincerely hope they die a slow and horrible death. The older I get, the more firmly I believe we should be wiped off the face of this planet sooner rather than later. We are nothing more than narcissistic parasites, destroying everything beautiful that surrounds us. Every single living thing on this planet would be so much better off without our presence. I am in such a misanthropic mood right now.

That tree was a legendary Northumberland landmark, I once had a spot of lunch under it when I walked along Hadrian's Wall years ago, and still remember it to this day. It was also known as the Robin Hood tree by locals because apparently it was featured in a scene on Robin Hood Prince Of Thieves with Morgan Freeman and Kevin Costner under it. I'm devastated that twat had to cut it down, and for what? So he could have a laugh and brag about it to his mates.

People get more worked up over trees and animals than they do rape, murder, and war. The internet brings out the funniest people.

Anyway... this is a solid album. Dark folk can easily become (and tends to be) uninspiring and boring, but I like a lot of what this album brings, and the tracks manage to distinguish themselves from each other.

Don't you think that's a very simplified, one-dimensional, and ignorant view of things?

First of all, it seems you have not understood that Metal Storm is primarily a webzine for music and related issues. The previous posts refer to the album cover, which undoubtedly belongs to the topics that can and should be discussed on this site. However, there's no rape, murder, or war on the cover, so that part of your comment was completely irrelevant and uncalled-for.
Generally, I don't have a big problem with off-topic comments, but resorting to them just to discredit individual users or entire groups of people is a kind of behavior that is not acceptable in this forum.

It goes without saying that rape and war have immediate and profound impacts on human life, but environmental degradation and animal suffering also have far-reaching consequences, affecting ecosystems, climate stability, and ultimately human well-being in the long term. Without trees, plants, and animals, there would be no humans either. This is a very clear and simple causality that even small children understand.
You're implying that concern for trees and animals negates concern for human issues like murder and war. That is not true. Most people can care about multiple issues simultaneously, and addressing one doesn't invalidate the importance of the other. Yet, you suggest with your claim that those who posted before you would abhor the mentioned crimes against humanity less than the actions of an environmental offender or animal abuser.

That's a completely unfounded accusation bordering on defamation, and anyone for whom concepts like decency or respect hold value would be ashamed of it.

Actually, I think it's a very simplified, one-dimensional, and ignorant view of things to wish extinction upon humanity because one idiot chopped down a tree. It seemed to be your tipping point. Maybe you were just having a bad day. But to my defense, you seem to get worked up very easily based on your posts in this thread.

But back on topic - good album. And we can all simply agree that the guy (or lady) who chopped down the tree is an idiot. So let's just agree on those two things and leave it at that.

It's only logical that you want to terminate a debate where you can't maintain control as quickly as possible and before it becomes too embarrassing for you. I totally get that. But since you were the one who deliberately steered this discussion in a different direction, I believe that you deserve another and somewhat more detailed response.

Yeah, you're right, I get worked up way too easily. Why should I even care if some stranger from the internet tries to defame other users with an off-topic rant? Also, I'm easily annoyed by the fact that it's always the same people who need to have the meaning of universally known manners explained to them. That is quite tiresome in the long run.

But may I now also issue a free character study for you? Because I find it very interesting that in two out of two posts, you have impressively demonstrated that your primary intent is to discredit people, regardless of what they have said or whether they have said anything at all. Actually, it's almost amusing that you pass judgment on me based on my posts in this thread. In case you still haven't grasped it: the comment you quoted was my very first post in this thread.
You seem to have significant trouble attributing what was said to the right individuals, even if it's in cold print right in front of you. How can anyone take you seriously when you form an opinion about someone based on statements they never made? I'm sorry to have to say this, but you've just lost a good chunk of your credibility.

And we can all simply agree that the guy (or lady) who chopped down the tree is an idiot.

You downplayed the cutting down of a natural monument as an insignificant triviality in your first post, only to label the culprit as an idiot in your second comment. In other words, your first post was completely baseless, you've changed your stance as soon as your fabricated arguments have run dry, and you've pulled a total 180 that renders almost everything you've said absurd.
I mean, any individual of integrity accused of lacking decency and respect would have at least tried to dispel that accusation. Instead, your response consists solely of your own confusion and an abrupt volte-face, offering not the slightest hint of substance. That's just weak.

In conclusion, I'd like to give you some good advice: Insulting people without cause and trying to cover it up with further insults is a tactic that rarely leads to success. If that's your most effective argumentation technique, you might want to refrain from initiating controversial discussions in the future.


Apologies to the rest of the MS community for the lengthy off-topic comment. As mentioned before, I believe Metal Storm should primarily be a platform for discussing music and related topics. However, I also strongly feel that action should be taken against those who misuse this forum to disseminate random hostility. There's no space for this kind of toxic behavior on MS.

I'm going to be honest with you, Star - I didn't read any of this. It's very concerning to me that my line about people getting more worked up over a tree than other human tragedy has impacted your state of mind this much and garnered this much of a drawn out reaction from you. Gain some self-awareness and touch grass, you'd be better off for it.

Now you've been touching too much grass me thinks. Look at that, the classic "I'm wrong but I'll just claim the other is isane to validate my baseless claims". Because that's easier than admiting when you're wrong, obviously. Nah, let ME be honest with your disingenuous act.

No one here ever downplayed rape, murder or war over cutting a tree, that's a fantasy straight out of your mind that you thougth was ok to spew. What for? The shock factor or perhaps to make you feel like you had the moral high ground over people angry at some fuck cutting down a tree? Maybe you're just a troll? But hey, Instead of seeing where you were wrong and conceading you now go full on clown, dismissing Star completely and say that somehow he has a fragile state of mind for addressing your unhinged take? Gtfo lol.

You can't even be bothered to read what he said but you sure got the time to reply and double down don't you? "It's very concerning to me", c'mon man, at this point we both know the only thing that's concerning to you is being right and not looking the fool. Well fuck, that didn't work out for you huh? Now who's gotta get some self-awareness? Don't answer that, it's rethorical and yeah I felt like I needed to explain that to you somehow... Makes you think.

I made a simple assertion, and the guy went completely off the rails. I'm not at all concerned with whether random people on the internet agree with me or not, and I don't feel the need to further justify my position. I tried to move on from it. You and anyone else can continue to throw a temper tantrum over it if it's worth the energy to you.

Kind of silly that you'd actually admit attempting to provoke me so you can ban me. Spare me the cringe and just ban me if that's what your aim is. I get that you and several other mods have it out for me. It's why you allow unhinged individuals like Star to post paragraph after paragraph of personal attacks and politics, but then tell me to reign it in when I've typed out only a fraction of what he has - and in a much less angry and provocative tone. This has been the standard here for awhile, and it's getting old. Seriously, go ahead and ban me. I rarely post here anymore as it is, and VPNs are sort of a thing.

Exactly how was I attempting to provoke you? I gave you cred for showing self restraint unlike in the Marduk thread which rendered in your 20 day ban. You're first comment on the other hand was only to provoke and had nothing to do with the actual subject matter that was commented on, hence Starvynth calling you out since it wasn't the first time you derailed/tried to derail a discussion. So please stop playing the victim here. You haven't transgressed here so there's no reason for me to ban you. But it would be appreciated if you stopped with the provocations and just stuck to commenting on the actual subject matter when you might feel like sharing your opinion.

First off, that's hilarious if you actually gave me a 20 day ban, because I must have not even logged in during that time period to notice. Funny stuff, though. Don't even recall what the conversation was there, but I'm sure it involved you and your mod buddies piling onto me while ignoring someone else's infractions simply on the basis of agreeing with them.

I typed one line about an irony that I perceived. People post off topic here all the time. In fact, the person who brought up the tree and the people who proceeded to wish human annihilation were also off topic. Again, you're simply cherry picking me because you and several mods have it out for me. It's not a secret, so there's no need to dance around it or act cute.

As I've said before, ban me. If you want the conversation to end, then let it end when I try to end it, and ban the person (Star) who chooses to prolong it. Instead, you choose to pile on with your internet buddies and then mope when I respond to you. If you wanted to keep things on topic, you'd have muted Star and not replied to me. But you just can't help yourselves.

When everybody tells you you're wrong, but somehow you still believe the problem isn't you, it's them and their "internet buddies". Because we're obviously all very good friends and we're only here to persecute you . Now THAT is fucking hilarious. Same guy who asked someone else to have some self-awareness, no less. Comedy gold.

Wait, are you serious with this? If so, I'd be interested in how you get to that impression. We spend a lot of time debating how to moderate discussions and we try to be as open as in any way possible in both warning people in advance and justifying our actions to the community. This particular situation is clearly (at least to me) about people derailing a discussion and turning it into pure gaslighting. I wonder if we need to communicate this better, if this is your gut reaction to the situation.

SoUnDs LiKe PoP's initial comment did nothing but make blanket assumptions and derive accusations from them. You can be sad about an unnecessarily felled tree and condemn murder, rape, and war at the same time. The whole comment is there to rage-bait people. His further reactions to people trying to meet him at eye level reinforce that judgement. The whole situation is far from a disagreement on facts or opinions, it's about how we want discussions to go. And we want discussions to be respectful. That is all that was asked of SoUnDs LiKe PoP, and lack of respect is all they would be reprimanded for.

First off, that's hilarious if you actually gave me a 20 day ban, because I must have not even logged in during that time period to notice. Funny stuff, though. Don't even recall what the conversation was there, but I'm sure it involved you and your mod buddies piling onto me while ignoring someone else's infractions simply on the basis of agreeing with them.

I typed one line about an irony that I perceived. People post off topic here all the time. In fact, the person who brought up the tree and the people who proceeded to wish human annihilation were also off topic. Again, you're simply cherry picking me because you and several mods have it out for me. It's not a secret, so there's no need to dance around it or act cute.

As I've said before, ban me. If you want the conversation to end, then let it end when I try to end it, and ban the person (Star) who chooses to prolong it. Instead, you choose to pile on with your internet buddies and then mope when I respond to you. If you wanted to keep things on topic, you'd have muted Star and not replied to me. But you just can't help yourselves.


As a moderator it's my job to keep track of users that tend stir up some ruckus. Even though it was almost a year ago I remember clearly that you were online almost every day during your ban because I was checking your profile. And nice try claiming not to remember why you were banned for since you defended fascism and quite poorly too. Several mods told you to stop but you kept going and that's why you got the ban. After the ban was lifted you've been keeping quiet up until now and when you started commenting again you almost instantly fell in to old behaviours and rightfully got called out for it. The most embarassing part is that you use the exact same arguments this time, that we have it out for you. You didn't even bother to respond to Starvynth but you choose to respond to me, trying once again to play the victim. And as I already said, I'm not gonna ban you but you could do us a favour and just delete your account. The outcome would still be the same.

I chose to ignore you all this time because I really don't care, and other people tried to explain the obvious to you anyway; that people can care about more than one thing in life. But then you wrote this:

Since I was the one that brought it up, go back to my comment and click on the link I've highlighted in it; it's the band's post on social media with the photos that I also used, saying the following:
"We are dismayed to hear about the vandalism of a beautiful nature site close to the themes and imagery of the band.
The cover of our 2018 album “The Hallowing of Heirdom” is an evocative painting of 'Sycamore Gap' on Hadrian's Wall, at sunset (created by @davidtaylorartist_ ).
Overnight we have become aware that an apparent act of vandalism on the 300 year old tree has occured, and it has been felled, with seemingly no reasonable explanation at all.
What a sad state of affairs to behold, and what a scar it will leave on the great Northumbrian Landscape it was so famous for being upon."


So, my post was not off-topic, but that's ok, it's not the only thing you are confused about. By the way, you are right about one thing: the internet does indeed bring out the funniest people. You sure as hell prove that... by being yourself.
