Amazing to see this come to life. I had the Trilogy Sorrow tape from the 90s and listened to it a lot. (I hope I still have it somewhere!) And thought this is melodic DM, it's really solid. Great guitar and vox. astheseaparts.bandcamp.com/album/psycho...

Incredibly kind words, thank you! Much respect for your work, so this really means a lot!

Them + Nite was a perfect 1-2 punch (pun intended)

Straight up heavy metal remains the most fun subgenre to see live. During Savage Master's set at TV Eye last night, Scott from Nite says to me, "I gotta go do something". ??? A few minutes later he's on stage dressed as Satan attacking the band. A+

Reading and records time!

Starting off with this album by Witnesses. This album such a wonder. I love it.

There are so many little microcosms of scenes within music, it's always fun when you stumble into a new one and find awesome stuff. I only just found out about this band recently and WOAH

Was asked by a friend if it was OK to wear a Witnesses shirt to demonstrations. The answer is "Fucking legend", which means yes. Be safe out there.

Doom II turns 5 today. Released as the pandemic ramped up, it was a strange thing to have written an album about a plague the prior year. It's been a fan favorite, and despite all that I'd change about it, it was an important step. Just a buck on Ampwall. #metalsky ampwall.com/a/witnesses/...

A side project of mine, Over Centuries, has a new 2-song demo out. All the links are in this thread. It's doom death, something that Witnesses never plans to do, but is still in my heart. The band includes my friends @soulmass218.bsky.social and @masikus.bsky.social. #metalsky

Over Centuries @overcenturies.bsky.social · May 2

We offer up a 2-song demo today, while work on a full-length continues in the background. We make doom death (or it is death doom?). Regards.

Over Centuries will have a demo released next Friday, 2 May. Featuring me, @soulmass218.bsky.social, and @masikus.bsky.social. The only real social media for OC will be Blue Sky (for now), so please follow there if you are interested. (Oh yeah, it's doom / death.) #metalsky bsky.app/profile/over...

Many good things: lower fees overall; buyers tend to cover said platform fees (80% of the time I believe) as well; real shipping quotes; player that sticks with you as you navigate around; etc.
