John Haughm just have been forgiven for being an anti-Semitic cunt, then?

Black metal innit.

FWIW he apologised about it and it does seem to be more of an edgelord comment than a lot of what you'd get from that scene: https://www.brooklynvegan.com/agallochs-john-haughm-apologizes-for-anti-semitic-remark/

Deer? Reindeer? Antlers? I’ve honestly not got a  Scooby.

Its a Deer seen from the side, which would give you Deicide, but that’s as good as I’ve got and no doubt way off

I should have gone for a more Pale, Folkloreish deer. It'd look nice above The Mantle.

Opened for Obituary on Saturday night in a sold out Sheffield Academy 2, a room with no air conditioning and 500 people crammed in it. Was complete madness even though it was an oven and I still ache everywhere. We had a great time, had a great reaction from the crowd and sold a bunch of merch so job done. Obituary though, Jesus Christ what a band. They just flattened the place. I managed to chat to them all over the course of the day, apart from Donald who seems like the most intense man alive, and they were all lovely blokes and really welcoming and had nice things to say about our set. Great set of lads.

We've opened for a few really big bands now and it's always a privilege to be able to stand side of stage and watch one of your favourites but whilst watching Obituary me and our drummer, who's been my best mate since we were in comp, just started laughing at how ridiculous it was where we'd found ourselves because of this band. Hugs were had, beers were drank. The best bit though was that I got to watch John Tardy warm up backstage. He was pacing around, head down, absolutely in the zone. When he started doing his vocal warm-ups, fucking hell. Those are the things that I think I'll look back on or tell my grandkids about. "Where I were a lad there were this band, they had a song called Chopped In Half you see....."
