There is one song on the forthcoming @eveale.bsky.social that just continuously makes me say "this is so weird" every time I send WIPs of it to @loachy16.bsky.social

I love it so much

The Lighthouse by @negativebliss.com has been out for a little over a year now, so just been reflecting back on when we recorded it 😁

FOREST DWELLERS!

The prime season for wandering the woodland realm in search of mushrooms is upon us!

Come with us as we stray from the beaten path, and listen carefully.
Hear that?
It's the Lament of the Dryads.

This album truly earned it's place in the blue castle art black metal pantheon.

Ferocious and unrelenting black metal with all the bombastic experimentation of those legendary 90's bands. Despite the well it pulls from this is something absolute fresh. I cannot recommend this album enough.

Considering what an absolute nightmare 2025 has been for innumerable obvious reasons, it's been an absolutely incredible year for new music.

Staggering number of absolutely incredible albums, ranging from entirely independent artists, small labels, mid-tier labels, and heavy hitters

I've said it before, but I can confirm now that this is my favorite @gonemage.bsky.social release!

Not exaggerating when I say this album made me tear up while listening this morning

On Coldest Keep in Bitter Heavens @gonemage.bsky.social has tapped into such a hyper-specific sound that was so integral to how I formed my love of music. This album makes me feel 20 years younger & the way I felt ⬇️
