Awful isn't it? 'Algorithmic Salvation.' They look like tech bros.

youtu.be/SGZ7VEQec6s?... This is Zenith Passage btw. I had to switch it off after 30 seconds. Quickest I've dismissed something since Polyphia/Sleep Token

Oh really? Haha I remember Anomalies was basically a sludge album at some point (that's the last CC I heard haha)

I like the tech death bands that are brootz/Avant Garde though, like Origin, Nile, CC, Cryptopsy, Gorguts, Portal etc. Necrophagist just sounded a bit wanky and pleased with themselves compared to all that stuff.

Hahaha I understand. I tried, I downloaded Epitaph but it made me want to go into a cave and listen to sludge. I watch a load of guitar stuff on youtube and I get loads of people doing the solo from Fermented Offal Discharge and I'm sick of it.

I heard Antithesis by Origin before Necrophagist man. It's like going back to The Shaggs after hearing Portal.

Also I heard another bunch of technical death metal goofs called The Zenith Passage and they're rubbish too.

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 5h

Probably only relevant to a few people here but I'll post anyway, controversial niche music opinion incoming... Necrophagist are fucking awful.

So Decibel made an AI deatchcore album huh? Who’d a thunk a rag that put both Varg and Jef Whitehead on their cover and consistently books MAGA cop band The Red Chord for their fests is kinda scummy

crazy how level design can have actual intention behind decisions to create certain encounters and not bringing in the original devs can mean you fuck up a lot of key moments!

I believe this was the point where modern Britain jumped the shark.

As November approaches, never forget that the BBC pinned a poppy on Cookie Monster.

"YPRES MAKE COOKIE MONSTER SAD. NO COOKIES AT SOMME."

A middle-aged white man in a dark suit seated next to Cookie Monster. They are both wearing poppies for remembrance of WWI. I believe that Cookie was a key advisor to Field Marshal Haig.

I bought one Pelican CD and the drumming was so distractingly bad i returned it. I never return cds, I kept Supercharger by Machine Head ffs.

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 3d

Apparently Pelican are still touring, I wonder if they got a drummer that could actually play

I was nonplussed too, but the Halo 3 hype was quote fun to watch. Flatmate at the time went to a midnight launch and got a master chief helmet. I also know non gamer types who watched the esports on ginx, xleague on satellite telly

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 3d

Any chance of this getting a switch port? I got chthulhu saves christmas already.

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 3d

Poor old John Halo. This is going to be very easy to give a miss. It all peaked at Halo 3.

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 3d

Yusss. I love that they do weird stuff occasionally

Dan @mrhiki.bsky.social · 3d
