Satan on the Sabbath - Alright, Maybe Just Some Black Metal at the House of Blues

Got any plans for the Oscars Sunday? Me neither. Why? Cause I’m not a raging moron. Instead, I’ll be catching the Lucifer Over America tour with Rotting Christ at the House of Blues on Sunset Strip.

Also on the bill is Immolation, Belphegor and some other pack of Satan’s cronies.

Doors at 7:30 p.m. Show starts at 8:00 p.m.

Tickets are $35 at the door — more if you purchase through Ticketmaster.

I know, I know — nothing says subculture like the bubblegum pop capitol of the world. It may be located on the Strip, but give the House of Blues a break. This is the same venue that housed the Radio Rebellion Tour back in October and the 2007 Summer Slaughter Tour. Any venue that books bands with names like Cattle Decapitation and Rotting Christ obviously isn’t targeting the mainstream.

Zeitgeist the Movie — Spirit of the Time?

1hr 56 min 23 sec

Released June 2007, Zeitgeist the Movie is a web film produced by Peter Joseph. The film points to organized religion, 9/11 and the U.S. Federal Reserve Bank as crucial driving forces in the progression toward complete societal control.

If nothing else, Zeitgeist the Movie will stir you to question what you accept as inevitable reality.

Watch the film, check the sources, conduct some independent research and decide for yourself.

What Is Counter Culture?

Counter culture is another way to say emerging culture or alternative philosophy. There is no solid definition for counter culture — it is constantly changing and left to individual perspective. By necessity, once society absorbs something into the mainstream, it is no longer considered counter cultural. Herein lies the importance of counter culture, as these innovative, revolutionary waves of thought have a hand in shaping the mainstream.
