Truer words, never spoken
Yeah, the roots are buried underground for a reason: nobody wants to look at that shit. Sticking with what’s new and fresh is 💯

They should invent a new kind of death metal that is actually very melodic. Has anyone ever considered doing this? Perhaps they could add some keyboards? I dunno, just a thought.

EVEALE - Dreamer (Ozzy Osbourne Cover Premiere)
How does a black metal band approach the sticky-sweet melancholy of Ozzy in his ballad bag? The answer is "with conviction."

I released one full length and three EPs this year
The current plan is to release four full lengths next year (The Recreant - Crossover Thrash, Solo - gothic/symphonic metal, Wraithstorm - melodeath, Transgressive - thrash/death and getting proggier about it)
And hopefully play Denver/SLC w/ T

We hear that something may be occurring in the Village today.
Do not be too sleepy or you may miss it.
This is very cryptic and totally mysterious.

Alright, let's see the impact of back-to-back containment breaches on site readership.

We put out 3 EP's this year - feel free to put all 3 on your Top 10 EP's list. And then tell everyone you know to do the same. This is a very serious suggestion and should be taken at face value.
On god though pls dont forget us if you do EPs ✊

You are forgiven my sweet summer child
Oh, an 'advanced' music enjoyer. I humbly beg your forgiveness, Oh August Lord! Kind of like Trump calling himself a 'jeenyus', huh? Don't bust your arm patting yourself on the back, there, buckwheat... 😄

Here it is. The guide you need. The one list to rule them all. Gifted early. I’ll say more below. But: the main event. My 2025 AOTY list. Lovely stuff.

The 5th kind of lyrical content is actually songs about little woodland creatures who are all comfy inside their impossibly well-furnished mushroom houses eating homemade barley soup out of little acorn cups and shit
Actually there are 4 types of (lyrical) music (might be 5 but I forget the 5th one)
Love (and hate/breakup)
Political/Protest/Freedom
Drugs
Nostalgia
Any song could be boring or fun based on listener but if those are your only two reactions then emotionally immature…

He's kinda spittin tho
Frankly I don't think music is pigeonholed enough. There should only be one genre: good music

...what is happening in the replies?
(sagely) there are three genres. Music that is "fun," music that is "boring," and music that is regrettably neither of those things.

Wait a damn minute. You're really telling me that this album slaps, rips, and also fucks? That's inconceivable.

I find myself craving, as of late, the abyssal void of minimalistic sonic oblivion.
