I will not accept such a violation of the “root root root for the home team*” clause. This shall not stand.

When you love your spouse so much you let them be Pikachu and you be Greninja on your anniversary mug.

Mug front and back of Pokémon together since 2005 mugs.

I’m so sorry man. The world is out of our control right now and drains all our sensitive energy. It can manifest physically. Do your best. Stay in touch. Do things that bring you joy.

Do you use your Spiritbox to communicate with them?

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 3d

This Testament album is a really good comeback for them. Their discography is up and down and this is definitely an up point. I’m not sure it’s as innovative as what some of the younger bands are doing in the space, but if you just want some Testament updated for 2025, this is nice. #metalsky

Yeah I listened to Umbilical a bunch when it came out, I really need to go back and listen to more of their stuff. I’ll check out that LP with Mizmor.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 4d

@jzossmpls.bsky.social maybe something you’d be interested in?

Listening, live, this is one of my favorite NIN songs… oh this is interesting. Dark. Interesting cleans. Can they get the chorus nasty? Oh yeah that’s filth. Second verse is jarringly intentionally offbeat. Sort of acid bath vibe? God this chorus vocal is sick. Love how they did the entire. A+

Yep @acadamien.bsky.social clued me in on this one. I’d say it’s like progressive something, but definitely mixes a bunch of the major metal subgenres.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 4d

Great album.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 4d

Agriculture has gotten a ton of play from me since it came out too. Really solid record.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 5d

Total agreement in all you wrote, including the mild defense of Sleep Token, who are not my cup of tea but played in obscurity for two albums and are definitely not plants. But President just feels manufactured, including the music. If I described generic alt metalcore to someone that’s President.

Anthony, MN Metal Nerd @twincitiesfox.bsky.social · 5d

Thanks for the heads up on the presale, see you there!

Confirmation from asx of the agriculture show

@acadamien.bsky.social I don’t think you made a standalone post about it but I know I heard about Wode from you and it’s amazing.
