When I find myself hotly defending something, when I am, in fact, zealous, it is time for me to step back and examine whatever it is that has me so hot under the collar. Do I think it’s going to threaten my comfortable rut? Make me change and grow? — and growing always causes growing pains. Am I afraid to ask questions?

ASK A PUNK TORONTO Mar 10

Sacrifice (Japan) / Public Acid / Absolut / Coprolith / Zeal (NDY)

The Garrison, Friday, May 22 at 07:30 PM EDT

SACRIFICE, Thrash Metal Legends from Tokyo, are coming to Toronto for the first time ever this May!

SACRIFICE's debut LP, "Crest of Black," is a monument of the 80s Tokyo Underground. An LP stacked with evil riff after evil riff, known well to any true scholar of the depths of thrash. With the re release of the previously obscure "Total Steel" and "Tears" LPs, SACRIFICE has continued to meet their notoriety with sold out shows in New York and California... and now, Toronto and Montreal.

They're joined for the dates by some true blood HCPMF in Richmond's PUBLIC ACID, perhaps the greatest hardcore punk crossover band of the modern era. Their "Deadly Struggle" LP a masterclass of manic riffery.

Support is provided by our own HCPM legend Joel Fisher and the ABSOLUTs, death metal gang COPROLITH and Ottawa's D-Beat crew ZEAL.

The Hardcore Punk Metal Freak Gig of the year is here. Pose and die. You're welcome.

Tickets at Dice.

WIST Quotations Jan 9

A quotation from C. C. Colton

The intoxication of anger, like that of the grape, shows us to others, but hides us from ourselves; and we injure our own cause, in the opinion of the world, when we too passionately and eagerly defend it […] Neither will all men be disposed to view our quarrels precisely in the same light that we do; and a man’s blindness to his own defects will ever increase, in proportion as he is angry with others, or pleased with himself.

Charles Caleb "C. C." Colton (1780-1832) English cleric, writer, aphorist
Lacon: Or, Many Things in Few Words, Vol. 1, § 240 (1820)
