RVA metal band Appalling is in-studio talking touring, influences, recording plans and playing a few tracks from their current release “Inverted Realm”. Appalling will be at Wonderland in Richmond on Oct 19th with Hoboknife and Embra.
Appalling – Inverted Realm on Bandcamp
Saturday’s River Limits featured new music from RVA artists such as Sammi Lanzetta, Billy Neptune, Sincerely, Iris and a track from the forthcoming Municipal Waste EP “The Last Rager”. Municipal Waste and their old-school thrash metal attack (think of bands such as Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, Death Angel and early Metallica) will hit The Broadberry on Wednesday Oct. 9 with Naplam Death, Sick Of It All and Take Offense. Check out the video for the EP’s first single “Wave of Death” at their label, Nuclear Blast’s website. Image credit/artwork by Brian Crabaugh.
Also featured was a track from Richmond metal band Appalling called “Mutilator At Large” from their record “Inverted Realm” which was released earlier this year. Appalling will be joining me in-studio for an upcoming StudioB episode and will be playing some of the new stuff they’ve been working on.
The full playlist from Saturday’s River City Limits is available on WRIR’s website here:

I hosted River City Limits on Richmond’s independent radio station WRIR on Saturday night. It features artists from in and around RVA. Here’s a playlist of the the songs and artists played who have a presence on Spotify -plus a few more that I had planned to play but ran out of time for. There are a few who are not on Spotify and are not included here. Check the WRIR logo below for the full playlist. See who else was on the show and go and support them too.
FULL ARTICLE: 4 Signs You’re Culturally Appropriating Buddhism
This is a really interesting article. It makes some great points, but it also seems to be taking the signs, tokens, symbols, and cairns of spiritual practice too literally. I cringe when I see yin yang symbols on word burnings at Target and on cocktail sets at Crate and Barrel, and cultural appropriation always sucks. But if you take Buddhist teachings at their word, non-attachment and impermanence would dictate that the symbols of Buddhism, “religious” or not, should be seen as just that, symbols. And symbols are subject to non-attachment and impermanence. They’re just physical-worldly markers.. reminders. And as such, any inappropriate or purely aesthetic appropriation only amplifies the distance the user has yet to travel on their path to enlightenment, whether they consider themselves on that path or not. Which would thereby make the appropriation itself useful as a teaching tool – which is actually the intended purpose of the symbol/marker/lesson in the first place and brings us full-circle, to this article. Two steps forward, one step back as a practically newborn species on the timeline of spiritual, intellectual and physical evolution. Thanks to Rachel Douglas of The Innerwork Center in Richmond, Va. for sharing this article. It got me thinking, and reflecting, and meditating. Which is good. Oh, and for obvious reasons, it was an intentional choice not to provide an image to accompany this post. What’s one less symbol?
