Glad you enjoyed, I'd love to hear recs from you as well if you have any!

I would like to take this moment to specially thank all my friends whom I've known before 2023 and banking on the investment that I would eventually figure out how to draw (I'm joking I'm more than what I draw).

Game-changer I gotta say hooooooly shit I feel like my third eye just opened

100% this LMAO I didn't expect how difficult it would be to find a pencil-like brush that has a nice taper, chisel shape and pressure settings that makes it feel like the real thing and allows good transition from the hard and soft curves of muscle. I'm glad I finally found something GOSH.

I have to give it to the Procreate update, they still did not fix any of the goddamn issues I wish they'd fix but the new brushes are nice. Shoutout to the Plenty brush under the "design" brushes tab it's really good for musculature.

I hope you find something you like. 🥰🥰🥰

12. UMBRA
🔺 Prog metal
⭐️ Entheotheosis

I love a Tool clone I really do. That's all I have to say.
December 9, 2025 at 1:44 PM
11. ADVAITIC SONGS
🔺 Stoner metal
⭐️ State of Non-Return

Not a really catchy, energetic pick. Really just stoner vibes and great sludgy riffs.
December 9, 2025 at 1:43 PM
10. TAVASTLAND
🔺Pagan black metal
⭐️ De miseriis Fennorum

I lied I only actually like just this one song from this album but I was kinda running low on options lol.
December 9, 2025 at 1:41 PM
9. BRIMSTONE
🔺Heavy metal
⭐️ Forever No More, Cometh the Iceman

If you like classical metal, most notably any Ronnie James Dio band, this one's for you.
December 9, 2025 at 1:40 PM
8. DECAY
🔺Melodic death metal

No song pick, this is a whole album type of experience. One of my few picks that was actually a 2025 release. A 16-minute song in this day and age is such a delight.
December 9, 2025 at 1:38 PM
7. PREMONITIONS
🔺Grindcore
⭐️Dies Irae

This band's whole host of album cover art is insanely good (not AI, I checked). I put this album and not The Poetic Edda because I like this cover better lmao. Another extremely noisy one so listen with caution.
December 9, 2025 at 1:36 PM
6. EXCISED & ANATOMISED
🔺 Extreme metal
⭐️ Corporal Jigsore Quandary

This is a cover album but HOLY SHIT. Personally I think their cover of Corporal Jigsore Quandary is better than the original from Carcass. I really love Evocation it's a shame they're no longer active.
December 9, 2025 at 1:33 PM
5. CULT OF THE SERPENT SUN
🔺 Heavy / blackened death metal
⭐️ Crow (Fear the Night)

Shoutout to Marccus for recommending this to me I really enjoyed it a lot. I don't really know how to describe this but it's very nostalgic. Very catchy riffs and I enjoy the vocal style a lot.
December 9, 2025 at 1:31 PM
4. CALIFORNIA CURSED
🔺Thrash, hardcore, groove
⭐️White Coat Syndrome, Faith

Refreshing in how it mixes punk and metal influences equally. Very Phil Anselmo-style vocals.
December 9, 2025 at 1:28 PM
3. TROPICAL SUN
🔺Italian death metal
⭐️Genetic Zombification

Another start to finish solid album. VERY funny and doesn't take itself too seriously. This one's for you if you like concept albums and classic death metal like Cannibal Corpse.
December 9, 2025 at 1:24 PM
2. THE WHOLE OF THE LAW
🔺Grindcore+
⭐️Extravaganza

Grindcore's a crapshoot with me and this one's an extreme hit or miss (it's VERY noisy). Extravaganza's my favorite but the whole album is solid from start to finish.
December 9, 2025 at 1:21 PM
1. U-BOOTSMANN
🔺Blackened death metal
⭐️ Kampf und Sturm, Die Havarie

Kanonenfieber is my favorite band discovery of the year, notably excellent live showmanship. Barely qualifies as an album but it was my top 2 of their songs.
