Foregone is a fantastic album. Shame they're not coming within striking distance of me on this tour.

Monuments are fuckin incredible, y'all. Don't miss this set.

It's another banger courtesy of Andorra's finest.

I wish that tour was possible for me. Also this album smokes. They haven't missed yet.

I've just gotten this one in and damn...it's great. This album deserves a lot more love than I've been seeing it get.

That's been known for quite a while, eh?

When they first put the album on BC the whole thing was unlocked for listening, and for a while it was all in my cache so I've listened to it all a couple times. Heavier than Gold, but otherwise continuing their trajectory. Really solid stuff.

I've got a research queue to churn through. Bandcamp losing half of their staff in the sale is horrendous garbage, though, and everything now is even worse feels than when I was giving money to a company under Epic's umbrella. We can't keep nice things, man.

I refuse to. I won't support artists that can't be fucked to pay for the art assets they're selling. If you don't wanna pay, make that shit in paint, buddy. The album cover obviously is. Those hands don't work and the one arm has no elbow. The music video is all generated bullshit, too.

Is...all of the art for this album "AI" generated? This fucking sucks, man. The song's fine, but man do I not want to support this.

"Former Dream Theater drummer Mike Mangini" feels pretty bad considering his renown before he was in DT. I know why it's there, but...ugh.

That's as good a reason to pause work on an album as I've ever heard. Also exciting to have new Savatage to look forward to.

Pagan's Mind AND Circus Maximus next year!?

Day 2 is just reaching out for my wallet tbh. I would love to see Scar Symmetry again, especially at the fest. Also Pagan's Mind probably makes the whole trip worth it on their own. I love those dudes.

Hadn't thought about these folks in years. Quality's still there. I gotta check out more of them.
