JUST THINK IT AND BE IT



Earache Records you guys are precious. I mean, in these lean times, it's good strategy to exhaust all promotional angles, like for example to ride the buzz of Hate Eternal's career-best album, 2008's Fury & Flames (man I hate that ampersand in there wtf), by assembling a snazzy re-issue (out Tuesday) of its predecessor I, Monarch. Nothing wrong with that. Especially with a pro-shot live DVD tacked on. But the giggles come in around paragraph two of the Earache press release:
The Earache Classic Series recognizes some of the most important, influential, and groundbreaking albums to be released by Earache, with each reissued album including a bonus DVD full of extra content.
Hee hee the ahem Earache Classic Series bestows classic status on Earache releases; that's some mind-bending science there. Well fine then we at HooM! hereby unveil the 2008 HooM! Lifetime Achievement Award, presented to HooM! for excellence in Metal complaining. Thank you all for this historic honor! First I gotta thank my lady. We did it, baby!
