I mean people on the right of center questioned Trump until it wasn’t beneficial for them. I don’t see a system so much as just people. The millions of people in Democratic primaries that don’t vote for progressives aren’t imaginary any more than the ones who do.

Another Mork album, 2023’s Dypet, added to my vinyl collection. Beautiful artwork highlighted with the gatefold and a nice silver vinyl variant. #metalsky #vinylsky #metalvinyl

Destruction are playing two US shows next year.

As for bands not getting visas to enter, seems the current administration shadow implemented a yearly limit to Artist visas so everyone who applied after a certain point has been denied.

The envy is flowing wide here.

Watain announced they’re retiring on Sept 20th 2028 on the band’s 30th anniversary when their last album will be released.

Boring ass Prog band hiding remotely death metal.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 4

Malevolent Creation are worse. There’s a few worse I could think up if I thought in it long enough. Also different ball games but I’d rather listen to the first two Obituary than anything from Cynic.

I keep forgetting Blind Guardian is coming in November and playing all of Somewhere Far Beyond. That’s going to be insane and I’ll be hoarse from singing along to the whole thing.

If you can’t ever act like you’re 12 again at any metal show then it’s time to hang it up. So full support.

That’s the moment the universe sends someone that’ll be the biggest heartbreak ever. The universe is an asshole.

Further I saw this in Bergen last year with guests that probably won’t play any other shows just given how much talent was there that week. It was one of the most profound and spiritual metal concerts I’ve ever experienced. Any fan of Bathory’s music is in for a life affirming treat.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

The bigger point is that far more people are. going to have strong emotional responses to those Bathory songs played by in their own right legendary musicians who worship those Bathory songs. That’s why they’re headlining just as they have a bunch of euro fests.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

Given that in no point in history has anyone ever gotten to see Bathory in person (save those supposed three shows in 84) I don’t think it much matters if it’s a tribute.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

Except Bathory is a far more important band.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

Hell’s Heroes 2026 lineup is beyond epic! Gonna be a fun time in Houston once again! #metalsky #heavymetal

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

I will say the first is better.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 3

Booooo

So many projections of power are really projections of cope. The more blatant, the more hilarious they are.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Sep 1

This is hilarious on all sorts of levels I’m sure were not intended.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Aug 31

My jams the last week or so. #metalsky #lastfmweekly

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Aug 31

I feel this.

Probably gonna have to wait till the next reissue but definitely want to get the first three on vinyl.

If you don’t understand what people mean when they say art/music can be cathartic, especially if you’re insisting on its messaging (propaganda), here’s a way to understand it.

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Aug 29

Their drummer has been a Trumper forever and I think some smaller level wrongs noted by 1 or 2 other members, so I saw someone on here pleading that essentially to be a good leftist you need to abandon SOAD. I’m just like, “good luck with that campaign. I’m not about to bet money on your chances.”

Joe Wulf @thewolfofoaks.bsky.social · Aug 29

The reality is I guess especially in such a siloed forum as this that it’s just cope and a wounded call for sympathy amongst a very narrow subset of people. Outside of that group though it just looks terribly pathetic and weak posturing as anything but.
