After a weekend of unimaginable violence, one wouldn’t expect the President to make matters worse. And yet that’s exactly what Donald Trump did, David Remnick writes.

Donald Trump’s Remarks on the Death of Rob Reiner Are Next-Level Degradation
On a weekend of terrible violent events, you would not expect a President of the United States to make matters even worse. But, of course, he did.

As the year-end lists kick-off, consider this a brief stop at the inn before the longer journey ahead. Setting the tone for what’s to come, plan routes, sharpen blades, and get lost in imagined worlds before the heavier paths unfold. Here are my 25 best Dungeon Synth releases of 2025.

For this week and next, I'll (for the most part) be posting a year end list every day (except for New Music Friday).

First up, I am sharing 5 Labels that I believe defined 2025 as far as quality is concerned. Make sure to check out the alt text to get the full write up!

Yo, how do I get the job where you drive a bus that picks up dogs for their doggy daycare? That's what I want to be when I grow up!

13 releases for this end of the year New Music Friday! I'm hard at work on my year end lists. Stay tuned ...

Putting together my New Music Friday list and wow… the wave of AI album covers is a bummer.

Cannot wait
At least, that’s the plan.
The gods are silent. Rivellon bleeds. New powers stir.

Built by the team who brought you Baldur's Gate 3, Larian Studios unchains its ambitions to bring you an RPG with greater breadth & depth than ever before.

On December 4th, Fiadh has the privilege of offering a vinyl edition of Aura Merlin’s latest album, Moon Gates. This date marks the third full moon supermoon in a series of four, and is a fitting time to release a blue marble LP of this stunning piece of fantasy music 🌕🦉

It really isn’t said enough how much these people straight up hate America. People should say this a lot more frequently. They simply don’t like the good parts of modern American life.
"Sources in the Trump administration have previously told Zeteo that officials will at times intentionally use popular music from vocally anti-Trump performing artists, in order to trigger a negative response from a famous liberal and provide further amplification of their pervasive culture war,"
NEWS: The Trump-Vance White House is attacking Sabrina Carpenter.

In a new statement, the White House — led by Trump, a liable sexual abuser mired in scandal for ties to pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — suggests Carpenter is "stupid" and is defending pedophiles and rapists.

Éowyn x Smoulder

Tolkien Tuesday continues: Éowyn’s official metal band is Smoulder. Epic doom, trad metal, and pure shieldmaiden energy.

Perfect soundtrack for “no living man am I.”

⚔️ Obscure Metal Monday
🇯🇪 Legend – Death in the Nursery (1981)

Legend came out of Jersey during the NWOBHM era, removed from the big UK scenes, and that distance gave their music its own identity. A darker, more dramatic edge sets it apart. Check the alt-text!

It always seems like my weekly roundups consist primarily of bands from the 70s - 90s, skips the 2000s and most of the 2010s, but picks back up after the new decade. I'm ok with it. I think we are in an incredible age for new metal music. Especially traditional as well as death metal.

I've Been doing a “Tolkien Tuesday” series over on Sounds of the Void, matching each member of the Fellowship of the Ring with what I perceive to be their favorite metal bands. Here’s the "official" lineup so far:

💀 Obscure Metal Monday
🇯🇵 Corrupted – Se Hace por los Sueños Asesinos (2004)

Osaka’s most mysterious doom band spent the ’90s and 2000s dropping hour-long soul-crushing sludge/funeral doom with no photos, no interviews, no explanations. Just pure, suffocating atmosphere.
