Haha hey it looks like I have some new followers!

Hi all, I’m Gabi! I write for the Nu-Metal Agenda, and work on my own music when I have the chance. Here’s me, and here’s the guitar I built that I do most of my recording on.

No music to share yet, but hopefully I’ll have something for ya soon. 😉

A girl in a black crop top, black lipstick, and black glasses with long brown hair and a chunky layered chain necklace, resting on a couch next to a pillow with the smiling orange furry face of esteemed Philadelphia Flyers mascot, Gritty. She’s grinning a little bit too.

An eight-stringed electric guitar with a reddish-brown body, carved in the shape of a kraken. A Yamaha HS-5 is visible in the background, as well as a metal shelf with an assortment of potted succulents, stones, artwork, and a portable record player.

i feel like nobody who follows you on this platform would be surprised at this point and that’s only gonna work in your favor here 😅

Lisan al-Gabi @dxllmusic.bsky.social · 11h

Look, man, if you’re not expecting your friendly neighborhood nu-metal site to bust out the “fuck it, we ball” headlines for people doing messed-up shit, just go order a milkshake from Home Depot at this point or something idk what to tell you lol 😅

Typing “I feel like if we nail the attitude it’s okay if we’re a lil messy” in the band chat and rapidly realizing I’ve been putting all my poker chips on that as a personality

me talking about America in most contexts: god this place is fuckin evil 😮‍💨

me talking about America when a Brit says something bigoted or otherwise out of pocket: if you’re mad about it then either stfu or invade already, i know how that ends and i want to see you fucking try

(i’m ~50% british 😅)

just completely and utterly based in every conceivable way and also a very talented engineer, but all the calculations and constants are done in a variety of indigenous units of measurement that were in the process of dying out after being supplanted by the imperial and metric systems

I’m an accelerationist in the sense that I think it would be really fun if Earth’s gravity changed to 120.37 m/s^2 for exactly one second and then changed back

all i’m saying is there seems to be a lot of competition for this L rn so we should probably just find a game we overlap on and fight over the L like grown women 😄

Lisan al-Gabi @dxllmusic.bsky.social · 2d

i feel like i could either express hurt rn, or acknowledge the reality that i did this irl roughly 4.5 hours ago and might have to take the L here 😅

Tbh this was a really good time for Kittie to re-record and release a couple songs off Spit, because yeahhhhh. Doesn’t fix it, but it helps.

Lisan al-Gabi @dxllmusic.bsky.social · 17d

The guitar work is great! As someone who wasn’t into their earlier stuff I really appreciate seeing them branch out and expand what thall can do

I think the one that I vibed with the hardest was +där skogen sjunger under evighetens granar+ by Vildhjarta, much more creative than I was expecting

Turns out Karnivool is dropping their first album since 2013 on my HRT-versary. Which, like, super rad of them to be thinking about me like that 😇

All bits aside though, I’m liking this single a lot!

Got to write about Rollin’ for this one! If you want to see like 10 metalheads make positive cases for Limp Bizkit, this is as good a place as any to do that.

It’s been very cool to see an honest to goodness nu-metal underground spin up over the past couple of years.

Even cooler to see new fans finding underground bands that never got a fair shot in nu-metal’s heydey. Enter Nervepitch.

The Nu Metal Agenda @numetalagenda.bsky.social · Sep 15

From the desk of the CEO of nu metal himself comes this extraordinary tale about a band that saw an explosion in popularity thanks to the power of social media.

I agree that when the trolley is bearing down it is ethical to pull the lever to kill one instead of five but I'm gonna ask why you spent all morning tying six people to the tracks that is a weird hobby
