Defeater 

Defeater are a modern hardcore band from Boston who have gained a cult following among the hardcore underground with every amount of praise being completely earned. Defeater have only released one album and one EP, both of which being highly ambitious concept pieces. Their LP, Travels, chronicles the events preceding the suicide of a wayward man in which he kills his father and brother, and then mourns the death of his drug addicted mother. Their EP, Lost Ground, was written about a black World War II veteran who loses his entire infantry and then returns to the states just to be shunned by society, eventually turning to alcohol. Defeater will release their second LP, Empty Days and Sleepless Nights, in March of 2011.

long defeat 

A background feeling of melancholy found in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, derived from the knowledge that every victory is only temporary, what we hold good will eventually be gone, and that the world is irreversibly changing for the worse, derived from the English/British Catholic sentiment that their world of Catholic hegemony is gone and never to return, crossed with Tolkien's dislike of the changes to England since the Industrial Revolution and during the Twentieth Century.
I love Lord of the Rings, but it's not optimistic. The whole Long Defeat thing is too much for me and I want to get away from it.
