Reviews Album Review: DEFEATED SANITY Chronicles Of Lunacy If you're looking for the best of the best in a particular sub-style of death metal, there's a set of names that are synonymous with the highest quality. In the case of technical brutal death metal (Or is it brutal technical death metal? Don't answer that.), a few key names jump out: Origin (my personal favorite), Deeds of Flesh, Malignancy, and old gods like Cryptopsy and Suffocation. But another name stands tall among these practitioners of punishment: Defeated Sanity. Starting out in 1993, Defeated Sanity hit its stride of strident brutality in the 21st century with classics like Psalms to the Moribund and Chapters of Repugnance. That said, DO NOT sleep on their demo era, as there's lots of fascinating work to be found on Devoured by the Black and Withdrawn From Beauty. Defeated Sanity are true devotees to their craft, taking the listener to the most straightforward and direct realms on Disposal of the Dead and its most technical and experimental on 2020's The Sanguinary Impetus. There's something to love in everything Defeated Sanity has done, but I do think they may have veered a little too far on The Sanguinary Impetus for most listeners. You have to be REALLY in the mood for off-kilter musical constructions to make it through that album. This is not a knock on Defeated Sanity but I think a re-centering was definitely in order. And that's exactly what they accomplish on Chronicles of Lunacy. Right from the outset, "Amputationsdrang" grabs you with that brilliant snare sound from founding member Lille Gruber and the CHUNG-CHUNG sound emanating from the scooped-to-hell guitars of Vaughn Stoffey — of course backed up by the thundering rumblings of longtime bassist Jacob Schmidt. It's the kind of music that makes you immediately go: "Oh hell yes. That's the stuff!" Well, unless you're a well-adjusted normie who doesn't like obnoxious noise. Then you'll probably have that exasperated look on your face at how or why anyone could enjoy something so brutal. Songs like "The Odour Of Sanctity" and "Extrinsically Enraged" are abrasive in a way that makes them instantly alienating to probably 99% of people. But if you have that certain fascination with sonic malevolence in your veins, you simply need this music in your life. Defeated Sanity does a great job integrating their technical musical skills into the songs here, but dials it back just enough to let the hooks shine through. Yes, this music can be catchy in the right moments. That said, it's still dazzling to hear how Lille can tear up the drums so relentlessly, or how vocalist Josh Welshman effortlessly utters the vocal growls from subterranean depths. "Temporal Disintegration" is probably the jazziest of the songs on here, so the techy types will enjoy chewing on that one. And my goodness, songs like "A Patriarchy Perverse" are so immediately exhilarating, you just can't help but want to destroy everything within view. This song actually veers into slam territory, as does "Heredity Violated" and moments of other songs. I'm sure someone wearing sweatpants will correct me on my error if I've gotten that wrong. Meanwhile, "Accelerating The Rot" is SO FAST. HOW? HOW DO THEY DO THIS? But here's another cool thing about Defeated Sanity: the extremity isn't forced. The band doesn't take the gore factor into adolescent territory. They don't opt for cheap shock value for its own sake. They allow the music to project the extremity on its own terms. This is the sign of a death metal band that knows the power of their own abilities and doesn't need to resort to gimmicks. Bravo. Defeated Sanity is one of the best in the game of absolute top-tier extremity. Chronicles of Lunacy further cements the band's status using every weapon in the arsenal. Oh, I also dig the samples from Taxi Driver and Bram Stoker's Dracula, those moments were cool too. Source : metalinjection.net

Ji Xiang Kueh stops taking Labubu ang ku kueh orders, says it regrets doing so as ‘aunties love making’ them However, the bakery's co-owner is relieved as the process of making the Labubu kuehs strained their resources, causing sales to decline. Ji Xiang Kueh ceases Labubu ang ku kueh orders due to copyright issue Pop Mart recently announced their intention to take action against the unauthorised use of Labubu characters in food products. The Chinese toy company currently owns the intellectual property (IP) of the viral monster characters. Among the food retailers affected is Ji Xiang Kueh, which has been selling adorable Labubu-shaped ang ku kuehs on a pre-order basis since September. Made Labubu cakes to appeal to younger generation In response to MS News‘ queries, a Ji Xiang spokesperson said that the bakery started accepting orders for the Labubu ang ku kuehs to keep the Chinese dessert “relevant to the younger generation”. “We didn’t expect it to blow up on the media, which led to many orders of Labubu kuehs coming in,” they said. In light of Pop Mart’s announcement, the confectionary has ceased taking orders for the Labubu dessert. The decision did not please many, however — some of the aunties in charge of making the kuehs were reportedly “sad” as they had heaps of fun making them. Labubu kuehs led to dip in Ji Xiang’s sales On the other hand, Ji Xiang’s co-owner, Mr Kelvin Toh, said that he was “relieved” that the bakery will be able to stop making custom Labubu kuehs. “It is a lot of work. It was more for marketing purposes and publicity, and not for revenue,” he told The Straits Times. The bakery explained to MS News that since they were a small confectionary which specialises in handmade ang ku kuehs, the orders for the Labubu kuehs caused their overall sales to “dip slightly” due to distributed resources. “We sacrificed a large portion of our production capabilities in order to fulfil these orders and bring a smile to our customers,” the Ji Xiang spokesperson said. However, despite this, Mr Toh said that he plans to contact Pop Mart about collaboration possibilities and to inquire about licensing. Additionally, the confectionary hopes that the Labubu kueh-making stint highlighted its capabilities as a bakery. “Through this short-lived sale of Labubu kuehs, we are also hoping that there are brands out there who have seen what we do and would like to work with us officially,” the spokesperson added. The confectionary also teased that it will be launching “something interesting” for the upcoming Christmas season.

English Premier League obtains court order to block access to 50 pirated websites & apps in S’pore The Premier League is actively working with local authorities and broadcast partners across Asia to seize individuals who sell and distribute its content illegally. 50 websites & apps illegally showing English Premier League matches will be blocked The English Premier League (EPL) has recently obtained a court order to force local internet service providers to block access to 50 websites and apps showing football matches illegally. According to the Straits Times, this will bring the tally to about 600 blocked illicit domains in Singapore. This includes the 125 illegal sites that were blocked in February and April of this year. The latest ruling by the Singapore High Court also cuts off access to pirated websites and apps commonly installed on illegal streaming devices. Premier League pleased that S’pore continues to protect IP rights Premier League general counsel, Mr Kevin Plumb, said that the football association is pleased that Singapore continues to recognise the importance of protecting intellectual property (IP) rights. He stressed that Premier League fans who view matches via illegal streaming methods expose themselves to exploitation by cyber criminals who often use those platforms for scams. Additionally, according to CrimeStoppers UK, illegal streaming carries multiple consequential risks. This includes being exposed to dangerous malware, fraud and data theft. “By blocking these illegal sites, we are not only stopping wider criminality but also helping ensure our fans watch Premier League matches in a safe, high-quality way,” Plumb said. EPL actively working with local authorities across Asia to stop illegal streaming The football association also shared that they are actively working with local authorities and broadcast partners across Asia to seize individuals who sell and distribute its content illegally. As a result, thousands of domains have been blocked in Indonesia and Vietnam in the last five years. Nearly 300 domains in Malaysia have also been blocked. In Singapore, a 37-year-old man was sentenced to 10 months in jail in October this year for selling illegal streaming devices. He confessed to infringing the copyright owned by numerous organisations including Disney, Netflix, and the Premier League. His two shops at Sim Lim Square were also fined $200,000 and $100,000 respectively under the Copyright Act. His conviction was the first such prosecution under Section 150 of the Copyright Act in Singapore. The law mainly targets copyright infringement by commercial dealers of illegal streaming devices.

Deepfake 'Kim Jong-un' sings 'Roketeu Roketeu' in viral 'APT.' parody A deepfake video showing “Kim Jong-un” and his sister “Kim Yo-jong” singing a parody of Rosé's “APT.” has gone viral on YouTube. The video, which was posted on Oct. 31 by user @Lildoge_Mars, has since received over 6.3 million views. It shows the two “Kims” singing and dancing to “Roketeu Roketeu,” a parody of the original chorus “Apateu Apateu,” referencing the country’s infamous missile testing program. The deepfake includes other altered lyrics with North Korean context such as “avoid falling debris completely," "nukes every day" and "star of the Korean people." Aside from the two “Kims,” the “APT” parody video features a phony Russian President Vladimir Putin, the late former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il and North Korea’s iconic news anchor, Ri Chun-hee. YouTube users found the parody humorous, with one commenting, “I'm listening to it more than the original song... It's so stimulating.” Another noted, “I can't believe ROSÉ and Bruno Mars made a cover of this masterpiece.”
