Black metal potato. That is all.
Oh, looks like metal end of the year lists are starting to drop!

I really enjoy this time, the magazines and blogs are nice but I especially like getting to know what stood out to all of y’all.

Came home from work at the main hospital and these fuckers (my family) found a stray cat and brought him home and the kids named him “Boink” apparently after a sound our car made.

Anyone a Kaunis Kuolematon fan? I really liked their 2017 and 2020 albums but the last one didn’t hit me at the time. But their newest comes out Friday and I’m definitely curious.

It continues to be quite helpful to contemplate how my whole personality and self-identity could collapse or shift.

This morning, getting a clearer sense of how reputation/validation/affirmation plays such a formative role in how I shape and present my self.
Dharma reading on #4 of the 37 practices, on impermanence, and contemplating today the impermanence of my psychological life.

It is unsettling to remember that by accident, illness, or other cause, my whole sense of self and personality and reality could collapse or drastically change.

How many stoner sludgy doom albums before I jump back to black metal?

Two.

The answer was two.

And now going with something on the more raw side, from Germany: Winselmutter. From May.

But sometimes what hits is not black metal at all but sludgy stoner doom. Acid Gods, by Grin May 2025. I’m only two songs in but damn does this start strong.

Harder morning—being a neurodivergent and genderqueer family has all kinds of lovely aspects and also all these unexpected rougher points. So, feeling a bit tender now and compensating with some of the best metallic hardcore this year, Faced Out.

This one deserves more love: it does so much but holds together wonderfully. Track 5 is like: what is Snapcase was reset to a Pelagic Records vibe? (Album is actually on Pelagic). The following track then has a Schammasch guest. Just great stuff. Zatokrev, from July.
