Extremely burned out by reviewing right now, i have a waiting list of 55 albums and still getting more requests each day. Some big changes are going to have to be made for Doommantia.Com and associated sites to keep going !

I think if you are board then just quit.
When I get that way I take out a few disc that I love.
Then I listen to music for a week or 2 to remind me why I love it.
I am the kinda guy that finds it hard to listen to a cd all the way through.
I am high anxiety and probaly a bit bipolar.lol
I have ideas through my head all day long.
I go crazy with that stuff.

Im not bored by it at all, in fact i enjoy the music more now than ever before. I am just over-worked, if you knew the amount of hours i spend listening to music and writing reviews you would know what i mean. I have no real life outside of music, this is my life and that is not a cliche, its my reality.

In the loneliness of winter
When I seek penance for my sins
I call upon my fate for mercy
Oh let the king of diamonds win

When the lords of light are with me
I climb the stairs up to Ungol
When the angel witch she soothes me
I'm her witchfinder general
Yeah

Doom is the soul of metal
Primordial and pure
Doom is the true essence of living
Immortal
My cure

When my heart is filled with sorrow
And I wonder who I am
I put on some ancient Trouble
Some old Vitus
Pentagram

When my soul walks in the darkness
Or life's hopelessness again
Then I find solace
I find comfort
And I learn and understand
Yeah

At the blessed pagan altar
He kneels the reverend bizarre
And he calls me and I follow
Into the doomed world of my heart

There is beauty in the mourning
So much truth and tenderness
Let me celebrate the sabbath so black
The rites of candlemass

There is wisdom in the slowness
In the rhythm is the magic
In the air
And I know I've found salvation
In the music of despair

The Music of Despair - Dawn Of Winter

We have been writing more instrumental tunes lately...just wrote a new one, it kick's ass! What do you guys think of instrumental doom tunes....I personally think that there are not enough of them.

I like them personally but its a difficult thing to pull off successfully in doom metal, the more mid to up tempo Stoner Metal bands can do it easier, bands like Karma To Burn, Atomic Bitchwax has songs tailor made for instrumental interpretations but doom can be tricky as its slow and usually not with that many riffs.

Was offered $400 for my hair the other day. Knocked the woman in question back.

On Friday I discovered that our Netflix account had the new Futurama season up and streaming! Its probably the best thing they've ever done. I've got all the seasons and movies and love them all, but this "rebirth" as its been coined is just a lot better. Apparently they had to cut over half of the former writing staff due to the salaries demanded by the voice "talent" and apparently they cut the losers.

Agreed! There are NO commercials and most things are uncensored. Its cheaper than cable and more enjoyable. The best part is the lack of commercials however. All they need to do now is show the latest ATHF, Venture Bros. and 80's TMNT and I'd be in heaven, lol.

I really hate social networking sites. I miss web pages. I've got 4 stupid/generic social networking sites and I have no way of standing out as a result. You have very limited control over what you can do, sell, show, etc... through the aforementioned avenues where as you have complete control over a website.

That's one thing that is funny about Jayke. I asked him if he had an fb account and his response was "F*ck no, I have a life!" lol. I giggle still when that thought crosses my mind. I only have one for our band and it pisses me off to no end that people have issues finding it and that I had to create an account for myself in order to make a band page.

I recently read that the "guitar hero/rockband" franchise has stopped the production of all further games citing low sales of their last two games. This makes me happy because I hate these games. If your going to take the time to learn to play a song PICK UP A FVCKING INSTRUMENT!

I am thinking about changing the rules for comments on Doommantia. In the last month, I have had to delete more stupid comments than ever before. I don't mind if someone doesn't like a band or disagrees with a review but lately, the comments have been getting insulting or just pointless.

Read up on why Saint Vitus is perhaps the most important doom band ever...

Big shipments of CD's arrived this morning.

5 from Solitude Productions

No wonder I need more writers......

I just learned that cows don't have collar bones!! Hooray random facts!

In the United States today, there is a pervasive tendency to treat children as adults, and adults as children. The options of children are thus steadily expanded, while those of adults are progressively constricted. The result is unruly children and childish adults. ~Thomas Szasz

I am doing my fourth interview today for a French zine, it is real weird being on the other end of a interview instead of doing the questioning lol. At least it spreads the word on Doommantia, just that little bit further.

I went to a Steven Wright show once, I almost died from laughter. The best comedy gig I have ever seen. The only other one that comes close was Mitch Hedberg but it was kind of sad. He stood there delivering the lines alright but he was constantly shaking and he looked very sick. A month later he died from a drug overdose ( R.I.P).

The only comedian that I've ever seen live was Lisa Lampinelli. She was a riot and she singled my dad out of the crowed and made fun of him. Great night! My dad saw my favorite comedian, Sam Kenison, twice back in the day.

I like seeing comedians but you have to see them in the right venue. I went and saw Billy Connelly once when he was at his peak in a huge arena and we were right up the back. It sucked so much, we were so far away he looked like he was a inch tall and we couldn't hear a word he said. I think it was $60 a seat so it was a major rip-off. Smaller clubs are the only venue that works for comics in my opinion.

Agreed
