A blend of sludgey death metal, metallic hardcore, and stoner doom. For people growing tired of the modern metal sound, here's something a little more raw.

Download includes photos, and a music video!

Yeah, I guess it is a skill issue, but I did the best I could. Fuck it, have a nice life.

He was running so casually, like he knew he could switch the Turbo on at any second. I choose to believe he got away.

They got called out, and still pressed play, so you won. I don't make the rules, I just point them out when I feel like it.

Being neurodiverse can make you feel like you're existing in a different reality. Music is about making people feel, but not necessarily always "good" things.

Antitypical has been described as "the soundtrack to the upside-down", this is how we decorate our experience. 🎧

JD Vance looks like a youth pastor trying to relate to the goth kids like "you know who else wanted to die?"

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 11

JD Vance saw a photo of Slayer from their Show No Mercy days and went "THAT'S IT! THAT'S THE LOOK I WANT!"

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 11

JD Vance looks like he sings for a Mallcore tribute band called Pancakes At The Disco.

I make somewhat of an effort to avoid learning about the politics of musicians or entertainers I like because I was once really into black metal.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 11

Why am I supposed to care about what he thinks? I can develop my own opinions.

But good for him for making a career out of being a glorified fan, I guess?

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 11

Lately I've been thinking that there's no real reason to continue forcing my music out there anymore, but if fuckin Conner, Tanner, and Brantlee are gonna bring their fuckin fitted tees and camo hats into our culture of outsiders, that means I still got a goddamn job to do!

I've just become aware of a band called Lakeview that combines pop country with (I fucking guess it's) "metal".

They are an abomination.

In South Carolina, you can expect at least 2 kids, and dogs in any given bar on a Saturday up until about 5pm.

The more I think about it, that may have been part of why around 10 years ago I started making an effort to know less about bands I like.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 10

I didn't know that, but it makes sense. It's one thing if it's an occasional funny jab at something, but he has become the "old man yells at cloud" meme.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 10

Lost interest in Mastodon years ago because I got tired of hearing Brent Hinds be a troll at the start of every album cycle. Seemed the guy was always complaining about something. He's been out of Mastodon over 5 months, and he's still complaining.

But everyone else was the problem? I doubt it.

Metal Injection @metalinjection.bsky.social · Aug 10

💩 Well, screenshots have surfaced on the Mastodon subreddit that allegedly show ex-vocalist Brent Hinds taking yet another shot at his previous bandmates, accusing them of being "two people who can't sing" and that "only [Hinds knows] who they really are."

BRENT HINDS Supposedly Takes An Even More Personal Shot At Former MASTODON Bandmates: "Only I Know Who They Really Are" - Metal Injection

Feels like somewhat of an ominous thing to say about your previous bandmates.

I think Yuya Uemura vs Kyle Fletcher would be good.

J Ven Perp @venperp.bsky.social · Aug 10

Don't usually remember dreams, but when I do they tend to mean something.

I'm back in high school, going thru the motions when I realize "wait, I've already graduated, I can just leave!"

My legs are heavy, but I'm leaving, and yelling my frustrations about being fooled into staying for so long.

In addition to acting, he's the current executive producer of MLW.

We get about half our groceries there, usually fruits, and vegetables. They have good dips, salsa, and snacks too. Great for shopping on the cheap. Decent beers too.

Eddie says a return at Forbidden Door is "a possibility". 🤼‍♂️

*searches*
Oh! Wow... now I'm REALLY confused!

I can't believe in anything anymore, I bet there's never even been a man from Nantucket.

I had the honor of interview TONY SCHIAVONE today, ahead of tomorrow nights Collision in Roanoke!!! We talked about his adolescent wrestling fandom, WCW, and of course,
@allelitewrestling.com

I can’t thank Mr. Schiavone enough. I’m still over the moon.

Made this for my wife, put it out today for her birthday. I describe it as her own personal superhero film score. This is the soundtrack for journeying to the top of a mountain to find your true power. 🎧

#AEWDynamite moved quickly, and let us experience so many different emotions throughout the show. The in-ring action was great, reasonable fan service, several stories moved forward, and some of it's carrying into Collision as well. Zero complaints from me. 🤼‍♂️
