I deleted my last fm account. I have too many flacs and wavs with poor metadata that get screwy with that service. Was actually giving me a lot of anxiety, believe it or not

Thanks Steve. I feel like I'm mostly a death metal guy at this point, but I'll take it!
So many talented folks in the black metal world right now

I switched to light mode on my desktop today. It feels like the dark cloud that has been following me around just dissipated, no joke. Will probably enable nighttime mode pretty soon though lol.. my eyes are already sweating

Bandcamp Friday is coming up, so I'm going to peddle two albums I'm very proud of. I appreciate more than ever that supporting art is a deliberate choice and not everyone has the means to do it. You all have my eternal gratitude for graciously enduring my supplications.

I've said this privately to the guys, and I don't mind saying it here. This is the best music I've ever helped to create. Check out the first single "Years Gone" on ABMA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ck...

Doing the thing where I check all of my bank accounts and money apps, just wishing for a magical $15 to appear out of nowhere, when I know it isn’t there. The life of a microscopic business owner/musician. Some days are rougher than others for sure.

I’m a black metal artist first and foremost. But at least once a week, without fail, I pull up a Marshall or Fender style amp sim and play grandpa blues licks for an entire morning.

I've been on over 50 unique releases now, counting singles, EPs, albums, and compilations. I've learned a staggering amount since I started releasing music, and my stuff sounds lightyears better now. But it all started with this:

My hand Signosis is booking studio time to record drums for our debut. Here’s one of my favorite moments from one of the songs that will be on that album. From our last show at 27 Club in Asheville, NC (6-14-25) #deathmetal

There are many alternate timelines in which I lose my battle with depression. I wrote the title track for this project convinced I was going to lose that battle here, now. But it turned into a deeper exploration of the subject. I have my reasons for sticking around. Thank you for listening 🙏
Done!
This was very effective at conveying it's message. I appreciate that both a raw and a more modern mix are included in this; the songs "Timeless, Thoughtless" and "Umbilical" really benefit from the more audible clarity, imo.
Great job, @hangingpuppetaudio.bsky.social!
Highly recommended!

I have not listened to music by @hangingpuppetaudio.bsky.social before, but that the proceeds from this album will be donated to mosh4lives.com as well as the description have made me curious!
Going in!

The "BlueSky is boring" narrative going around because it's not like Twitter w/the toxic,negative,hateful,and among other factors that people wanted to get away from. Do those people consider that people want to be peaceful and not chaos, Twitter and other social media sites like that ruined minds.
