I'll really need the extreme virgins to come out for this one since it's an NSBM album from a relatively unknown band. The album cover had men, possibly dwarvers, some with white beards, in a silver room wearing armor. It is possible that there was a table and chandelier in the room. If the album cover was drawn, it looked very much like real life.

They weren't from Norway, Sweden, Finland or the US to my memory and they had at least one other album. I found the album on YT and really liked the cover but never listened.

Edit: Album was Thor's Hammer - May the Hammer Smash the Cross

Not typical modern neoclassical tech death. Something with that medieval melancholic/beautiful sound to it like the solos and Phobophole and Dead and Dripping.

I'm writing a lot of music on guitar and can do decent vocals but I don't have a drummer available so for everything I work on I will have to program the drums myself, which stops me in my tracks. I've sequenced some very simple drums on electronic tracks in FL studio but the whole theory of it, like what parts of the kit to put where in the bar and how to write a beat that fits the riff is something I'm yet to grasp. How should I go about learning to compose drums and how long will it take me to do it well enough to serve the music

Disclaimer, this will include spoilers on the Stephen King book Cujo.

The book mainly dealt with a mother and her child being stuck in a car for days while a murderous rabid dog is waiting for them to go outside so it can kill them. It goes pretty deep in the woman and her family's personal lives and shows what is going through her and her son's minds while they are trying to survive and the father's who is in a different state and is worried about his loss of contact with his family. At the end the woman manages to kill the dog after days of being stuck in the car, starving and worrying for the life of her child, but the child dies from malnourishment and the family has to move on without it. I thought it was pretty tragic and it made me feel for the characters.

After reading the book (and watching the movie that did a pretty good job of capturing its spirit) I was interested in seeing people's opinions online. Surprisingly almost no one gave a shit about the people, who happen to be the main subject of the book. Most of them were concerned with the dog, which was originally not benevolent but turned to killing due to believing humans were the cause of its rabies.

While the dog's story is sad in its own right as it did not originally intend to hurt people, it's only briefly remarked in the book, while pages were spent on describing the mother's fear that her child is starving in the car and afraid that it's going to die, how she's trying to survive stuck in a car for days and wondering how she's going to get rid of the dog, how she reflects on her life, how the father worries about his family and is completely in the dark as to where they might be and why they're not phoning him, and the death of the child that crushes the family.

All for people to care for a dog that can't even think. Everyone online seemed to be concerned only with the dog and what it went through. I'm not someone to whine about media literacy and I believe that everyone can interpret art in their own way, but for a book to specifically focus on people's thoughts for almost the entirety of its duration, use the dog mostly as a plot tool and only briefly focus on its problems all for everyone to only think about the latter seems plain wrong. It's almost like they didn't read the book, or they purposefully ignored what they read. It seemed like something had interfered with their minds to make them look at the story in such an ignorant way and completely miss the point.

I don't understand how people can feel less compassion for sentient beings that are actually capable of thinking, ones that they can actually relate to as they are also humans, than for an animal that is unable to think or experience events as deeply as them. To see such a lack of humanity and compassion in so many people astounded me.

Inquisition worship bands or bands that have a similar riffing style
