You know, I've liked this band for over 2 years and had no idea it was a Tolkien reference. Thanks for enlightening me!

I'm reminded of this law enforcement report on infiltrating anarchist communities:

Highlighted text reads:

"Infiltration is made more difficult by the communal nature of the lifestyle (under constant observation and scrutiny) and the extensive knowledge held by many anarchists, which require a considerable amount of study and time to acquire."

Wow, that's messed up.

Also, kudos to Bristol Live for some good journalism.

Yeah, I'm a bit wary about using "post-industrial" because it means very different things for different people. But I think you summed it up perfectly: this uses the musical palette of industrial but does something different with the structure.

I was lucky enough to see this played in Manchester, UK earlier this year. Although not by Josh Freese.

I understand. I hope you're able to find some activities to help settle that high energy sadness. I can relate to that feeling but the things that work for me when I'm in that state tend to be the opposite to high activity and mental focus: eg. practicing mindfulness, taking myself for a slow walk in nature, proverbially touching grass.

A few people have suggested drumming, which I'd also recommend.

Have you ever been dancing? One of my biggest pressure relief mechanisms is going to a music venue and just... dancing to bands or a DJ. It brings me back into my body, it's a great physical workout, and it also keeps me mentally engaged.

I understand this isn't something you can do immediately if you're feeling frustrated, but I feel it can help with longer-term benefits towards emotional regulation.

He is especially rotund. I love him.

Thank you for this video! that was so much fun to watch (and I want to try it out too!)

Thanks for pointing out the one exceptional case where women didn't comprise the majority of people murdered. That really helps!

Haha thank you! even if that's not from the contest, it's a great picture nonetheless.
