Total agreement in all you wrote, including the mild defense of Sleep Token, who are not my cup of tea but played in obscurity for two albums and are definitely not plants. But President just feels manufactured, including the music. If I described generic alt metalcore to someone that’s President.

@acadamien.bsky.social I don’t think you made a standalone post about it but I know I heard about Wode from you and it’s amazing.

‘Morning. Long weeks at work. Maybe some good today. Have been listening to this this morning to add color to this post (progressive death metal, very atmospheric, good), but really just hi, be good to each other.

Small Bandcamp Friday this month but snagged a few of my top albums on physical, the new Der Weg Einer freheit, Agriculture, and Revocation (from their store). #metalsky

This does seem like the most Bandcamp thing ever though

Today on BC Friday my order from Ashenheart’s sale a few weeks ago came (dang import shipping delays). But I will now fill my Ashenheart mug with coffee and the darkened brew will warm my cold cold heart the rest of the day. #metalsky #ashenheart

Totally agree, Nija is their peak so far for me as well.

Confidence and Imposter Syndrome are two things I struggle with too.

Have it on now. It’s quite good so far.

Gave Orbit Culture’s new one a spin this morning. A little less for me than some of their other stuff but I know a lot of their fans have really taken to the more approachable songwriting. It still has some good chugs and big choruses. Again just a little less me. #metalsky

Why are all the video games coming out about grief and loss and the desire for revenge in the face of an unstoppable enemy and insurmountable odds?

*takes a look at the world*

Nope can’t figure this shit out at all.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 6d

Oh yeah definitely worth a try I think!

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 6d

This sounds interesting and I’ll look it up but have you heard the story of the Dutch Ship Batavia? Crazy ass stuff, find an in depth article (Wikipedia doesn’t do it justice) or podcast and it’s nuts. Definitely metal.
