James Barone jb@submergemag.com If you read this column at all, you know I’m into metal. So by proxy, that makes me a bit interested in Satan. It’s an interest, but not a full-blown obsession. I’m not going to start conducting séances, fucking with ouija boards or burning black candles on the Sabbath. That could be movie bullshit, [...]

Resolutions

Bocephus Chigger bocephus@submergemag.com Who are we kidding here? You’ve said the same shit for the past five years and still nothing has changed. You are X but strive to be Y, and this year it’s gonna happen. Frankly, we are all tired of hearing about it. No one wants to see you go through this again. The [...]

Do It Right Next Time

Seasons Beatings

The holidays are here… peace, love, joy, cheer and all that crap, right? It’s supposed to be a time when we set aside our differences and join together for one big group hug. But before I get down on some love-the-world-type shit, I like to vent a little. You see, everything shines a little more [...]

The Bachelor Party Survival Guide

There is a certain dynamic that cannot be created except when in the presence of others. New ideas are shared and built upon to create new beliefs. Hopefully, when the group separates, everyone leaves with a little more than they came with. They usually form through shared beliefs or goals, but it can happen in [...]
