Bro Finn is on another level. So cool to see him back since “stuff you will hate days”

“Sergeant D” as y’all may have known him on here

The community he’s building is really cool. I remember he wanted to take things in this positive direction back then. Awesome to see him doing it

This dude really influenced me back in high school to stop looking down on people who didn’t listen to metal. Which as silly as it sounds think about the foundational values there. To stop prioritizing bangin art hoes lmao they’re not worth the trouble (I still love y’all but we jus finna be friends)

And of my favorite relationship perspective checks: “should it really be this hard”. Classic sergeant D dude

LMAO @ tru nu Metal 😂 “not that limp biscuit pussy shit” 😂😂

One last thing: part of what makes hardcore or punk work is that you create from your skill level. The worst bands are always those ones that tried to write music that copied more mature bands rather than play organically from where they were at. It took me a long time to understand this idea in terms of work. I have a particular way of working, it’s fairly minimal and not on-trend but it’s how I like to work and what I want to see in the world. When I was at agencies and tried to make work that was more slick and popular almost nothing I made ever got produced. At some point I stopped “trying” and just treated every project like it was my own and all of the sudden, things are getting produced. When you work from where you’re at you tend to make something that has more of you in it and when that happens you’re probably making better work.

I have a general philosophy that everything is terrible and everyone has bad taste. This might seem cynical on the surface but I use it as a reminder that there’s no correlation between quality, trends and success so I might as well do what feels right rather than what other people deem “good.” This might be punk in a nutshell.

I was already a fan of sergeantd’s new site exploring the influence DIY subcultures like punk and graffiti have on careers and business so I was honored to be a part of the “Alumni” series. We get into how my experiences in hardcore shaped what I do as a designer as well as the programming I’ve been trying to undo in recent years.

Dylan's Dumb iPod #20: S.O.D - "Noise, That's What"

Tha number one Obese

I'm not sure Bigger than the Devil was entirely necessary and it's not without it's share of disappointments. Maybe S.O.D was cash strapped and they decided that because of Nuclear Assault's inactivity and Anthrax's shittiness, they'd try to resurrect some old glories. I'm not sure the approach worked entirely, but who am I to say? They say a joke's never funny the second time and to those people I say: absolutely true...except for this one that I made as a first grader.

Note the botched Ghostbusters logo

In S.O.D's case, satirizing cultural icons (Michael Huchens) and even some antique metallers (Celtic Frost and King Diamond) bring a chuckle or two, but nothing from the deep belly. Still though, Celtic Frosted Flakes....what do you think these taste like? My guess is kitter litter and Zürcher Eintopf.

"I like mine with a glass of Cold Lake"

Ultimately, Bigger Than the Devil is only for completists, nowhere near as essential as the deathless Speak English or Die and shows the band's shtick running a bit tired. "Noise, That's What" is likely a clever play on the famed "What's That Noise?" track from the aforementioned debut. It's an instrumental that features a slappy groove element that surely pissed off lots of thrash kids while appealing heavily to fat zitty douchebags in Fear Factory hoodies. Many of them rode my middle school bus, and they universally smelled of lunchmeat. The guitar tone is cool, and if the album were more famous or respected, HC bands would totally cop it and use it for a mosh intro along with "March of the SOD"...but it's not and so they don't. It does serve as a good segue into "We All Bleed Red" though. S.O.D is S.O.D, but this is them at their tiredest and least relevant.

1. Give up on her Or at least, make her think you have. You see, the second she thinks that your world still revolves around her, the second she stops giving a fuck. Don’t text/message her, and if she contacts you, take a really long time to reply or don’t reply at all. If you run into her at school/at a show/etc, be very friendly, but friendly like if you ran into a cousin who you really like but don’t see very often. If she’s with a dude, do your best to make friends with him- ideally you want to spend the night broing down with him to the point that she feels left out and ignored.
