Sjećam se da je ovaj film kada je izašao podigao popriličnu prašinu među gledateljima i kritičarima, pa je tako došao na red da ga i mi pogledamo i vidimo o čemu je riječ. Ovaj dokumentarac ustvari govori o onome što većina nas već zna, kako društvene mreže prate naše živote i u velikoj mjeri zapravo utječu na njih. Prema sadržaju naših klikova i objava i preferencijama, algoritmi i botovi predlažu nam slične sadržaje i objavljuju reklame i korisnici odnosno mi zapravo postajemo roba i predmet cjenkanja i financijskog portfolija korporacija kao što je Google recimo. Sve to se u filmu govori kroz prizmu bivših zaposlenika i visoko rangiranih u korporacijama Facebooka, Linekdin, Snapchat, Instagram, Google i još ponekim. Film je jako zanimljiv, jedino mi oni igrani dijelovi o jednoj obitelji i njihovim odnosima s društvenim mrežama pomalo idu na živce i malo su nalik na hrvatski trash ‘Krv nije voda’ kakvi su glumci i kako je napravljeno. Kao što rekoh, ostalo je sve zanimljivo, ali ne otkriva ništa što nismo znali, osim što nas ostavlja pitajući dokle ide profit, a dokle etika. Odgovor je mislim već dobro poznat.
Zaključak: 8,5/10 sjekira – jedan od boljih dokumentaraca koje sam gledao u zadnje vrijeme.
Catalan-based metal rising force Halflighted is thrilled to announce they have signed a record deal with Wormholedeath Records. The band has been hard at work creating their debut album, ‘Obloquy,’ set to release on June 2nd, 2023.
‘We’re excited to finally show the world what we’ve been creating in the shadows these last years,’ says Halflighted. ‘This debut album is the fusion of five completely different influences that have landed at a midpoint, far from any compromise with the listener. These five years of hard work have spawned an uncompromising offering that won’t hide in the dark any longer.‘
‘Obloquy’ combines Gothic undertones, Death Metal forces, Progressive tints, classic Rock drumming, a fair amount of Psychedelia, and many other hidden influences. The exact genre of this uncompromising soundscape is left up to the listener to decide. Sung in English, Catalan, and German, the lyrics of the album explore themes of war, inner struggles, and despair through various points of view.
Recorded in the spring and summer of 2022 by Varg The Mighty in Redrum Studios and mixed and mastered by Javi Félez in Moontower Studios, ‘Obloquy’ is a highly anticipated debut. The album art has been masterfully designed by Óskart, the band’s guitarist.
Halflighted was conceived in 2018 by the minds of Óskart and Mark in Catalonia after the split of Mark’s previous Death Metal band Dryzer. Their initial idea for a Death Doom Metal project slowly evolved into an eclectic and genre-defying opus as the current line-up consolidated itself in the following years.
The current line-up includes Óskart on guitar, Mark on bass and vocals, Varg The Mighty on guitar, synth, and vocals, Pepe on drums, and MAD on vocals.

The organizers of the upcoming edition of Metal Mine will open up to new music genres. The event area is, of course, the unique and amazing space of the Old Mine in Wałbrzych. Who was there knows that the place is amazing. The Old Mine Science and Art Center in Wałbrzych is the largest post-industrial tourist attraction in Poland, located on the site of a former mine. The revitalization carried out in 2014 allowed for the creation of a unique facility. On the area of 4.5 hectares, there are many historic post-industrial buildings with authentic furnishings, e.g. secured and a machine park available to visitors. Between the mine machines, there will be a zone with food trucks and cold beer, stands with contractors’ merch, and a campsite. Participants will also have the opportunity to contact with musicians in a special Meet & Greet zone.
