Remission, Leviathan, Blood Mountain, and Crack the Skye (depending on my mood, anyways, Blood Mountain’s my favorite of the four) all make for a legendary series of albums, a genuine generational run. I’m definitely not quite as huge on newer Mastodon (Hushed and Grim kinda sucks, which is a...

The site hasn’t been working for me for the entirety of this week until now. Maybe that’s a good thing for me given everything recently, but it still sucks. I made an acoustic compilation of a bunch of In Flames tracks (Digitally, I don’t actually know how to play guitar, and I don’t have the...

I was too distraught to say anything about it yesterday, but Brent Hinds was killed in a motorcycle accident Wednesday night, BMW didn’t yield at an intersection. I don’t really know if anyone else here is a Mastodon fan or not, but it’s important stuff and In Flames had given their condolences...

It already began to feel like it back when I first started listening to them? But especially these days, yeah, it’s completely fucked.

I think as long as we get something either interesting or stylized/THE-sounding (not even necessarily melodeath), or hopefully both, I’ll be happy with whatever we get. An old IF, DT, or even Iron Maiden song would be super interesting, but yeah, I doubt we’d get any of those covered. Even...

I didn’t even realize today’s the 20th, just listened to the song now. Honestly, even moreso than just the stylings fitting with Cemetery Skyline, there’s nothing really here that’s interesting nor feels like THE making it their own. It’s competently performed and produced, there’s nothing bad...

Oh man, that’s pure defamation right there. Actually fucked up.

A little more concrete news, I’m guessing it’s a cover rather than the third album’s lead single. Here’s to hoping we know a bit more either way, and here’s to hoping it’s as good as we’re expecting.

Yeah, I agree completely there. Some 2010s metalcore (Periphery, old ERRA, etc.) is still good to me, but a lot of it gets fucked by being toothless, having too much emphasis on cleans, or having limp production. Modern core is pretty much the bane of my existence musically, and it’s seen even...

Jesper’s going to be returning to touring next year, so that’s pretty awesome. He tagged Cyhra too, not sure why he’d want to stay associated with the state the band’s in at this point, but respect to him.

That seems to be the case pretty often with acoustic, cover, and re-recording EPs/LPs. I remember in 2017 or so Disturbed wanted to do an acoustic EP with some old songs and some new, but it never happened, instead resulting in five acoustic songs on Evolution (Shit album, but not because of the...

I won’t lie, I forgot there was going to be a covers EP. Couldn’t tell you when we’ll find anything out.

I haven’t really listened to the band recently either, but that’s not really because of anything having to do with the band, I’ve just been more interested in different music lately— Boston Manor, old ERRA (Augment is genuinely a 10/10 album for me), the new Clipse album. It’s not even me being...

It seemed like Anders was having the time of his life, especially during Trigger and OFTW. It’s definitely not their best performance, but they absolutely put on a fantastic show. I love this shot of Anders and the horizon during Trigger— It just feels like an “everything’s been worth it” kind...

I think I can finally handle Metalia and Cyberia being as disastrous as they are (Don’t listen to those albums, there are maybe five good songs from them and it’s a double album), since Ryo’s back in Blood Stain Child. I was really sad when I found out he left the band since he’s one of my...
