Yeah it sucks that Sleep Token are hitting fans who do something creative with their brand with cease and desists, but let's talk about parasocial relationships. You're not in the band. They're not your "friends." You just like what they do. Fandom does not equal ownership.

As I Lay Dying releases new single "Everyone But Me Sucks" from their new album Consequences? What Consequences? due out never. The album includes such future hits as "I Have Never Been Cool To Anyone That Married Me" and "If I Pretend I'm Religious, Maybe Everyone Will Forget I Suck"

Good news everyone – the new Testament record is the best Testament record in a long time. This is a ripper. @nuclearblast.bsky.social youtu.be/HHW29Xe0U9Y

Haha thank you! Honestly that's why I started doing it – it made me laugh and it wasn't super serious.

Some thoughts on Rush's reunion and why everyone that's already crying "NO NEIL PEART, NO RUSH" needs to have a little patience (and stop being a big ol' baby). youtu.be/NscEsJryCPE

Disruptive Thanatophobia, by Disintegration Annex

Apparently I'm using A.I. because I use emdashes. Alternatively, maybe you're a dumbass whose grip of punctuation is so horrible that the introduction of something "new" has sent you into an accusatory tailspin.

I'm super proud of this song, "Disruptive Thanatophobia". I wanted to structure it like a broken meditation tape where the voice is assuring, but can't help itself in reminding you of your mortality – a representation of an intrusive fear of death. disintegrationannex.bandcamp.com/track/disrup...

AUTHOR & PUNISHER Nocturnal Birding | Album Review

thegregkennelty.bsky.social @thegregkennelty.bsky.social · 8d

Been seeing an ad for Suno that says the "iPhone made everyone a photographer, and now Suno is making everyone a musician!" Which is weird, because I don't remember the iPhone stealing other people's photos and then making a shitty composite end product that's "totally my creation."

Author & Punisher's Nocturnal Birding is a biomechanical nightmare machine that could spew fire and annihilation everywhere it goes. But it sits and it listens to the birds. youtu.be/8b-_yj1Hblo

CATHEDRAL Society's Pact With Satan | Album Review

thegregkennelty.bsky.social @thegregkennelty.bsky.social · 10d

KINDA! I'll take it.

thegregkennelty.bsky.social @thegregkennelty.bsky.social · 10d

You know at some point these stupid AI "music" companies like Suno are gonna act like they also invented human musicians. "For an extra $100 per month, you can prompt REAL musicians to make your thing!" Or whatever stupid capitalist hell language they'll use. You know it's gonna happen.

The bad news here is that Cathedral is still broken up. The good news is that we've got a whole 30 minute Cathedral epic that's recently been unearthed, and it's a reminder why Cathedral are such legends within the doom genre. youtu.be/xWgHspCSL6s

Great. Now add a two factor authentication method to halt anyone uploading anything to your profile… and stop fuckin’ funding AI warfare.

This debut President EP is great if you want a really boring cross between Sleep Token and Bring Me The Horizon. youtu.be/Rxw02-Ug2X0
