autumnfall19.bandcamp.com/album/the-ar... This morning's tunes. HUGE thanks to Eric from Morke for turning me onto this. It's a stylistic continuation of the first Fall of the Leafe record, "Evanescent, Everfading." A lot of this was written back then, too. Excellent Melodic death/black type stuff.

The Archaic Shadows, by Autumnfall

9 track album

Yeah, shoot. I'll play.

here’s a little game… pick a band/artist, and name your top however many songs you can do, limited to one per album

It's all subjective to taste, but my favorite three album run is probably Damage Done, Character, Fiction by Dark Tranquillity. Then again, I'm a raging DT superfan so - bias. The first three Emma Ruth Rundle albums, first three Agalloch albums, and last three Draconian albums also do it for me.

What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

Fire In The Mountains was full of excellent moments. One of the greatest highs in a weekend full of them was getting to spend some time with @neastwizardtyrant.bsky.social and his wife (she's real!) They're such lovely folks. PS: Thanks for signing my @eveale.bsky.social CD, Steve! GREAT album ❤️

The Mountain Goats like Dark Tranquillity? 👁️👁️ ay yo? Just when I thought they could not -possibly- be any more awesome, I am proven entirely wrong.

If you stream Dark Tranquility’s 10/10 album “damage done” the app offers to direct you to a help line and I am not making this up. lol

"yeah i just ask chatgpt and-" cool i no longer take you seriously as a person

Knowing that 16 Horsepower is (allegedly) doing a new album together makes me so incredibly happy.

metalstorm.net/events/news_... This is a real blow to death/doom and metal as a whole. Dismantling Devotion is one of the greatest extreme music albums in the past 20 years. I'd put it in my personal top 5 for sure, especially if you're into doomier things. Thanks for the memories and music. 💜

Daylight Dies - Call It Quits

After 30 years of existence and 4 released studio album, North Carolina-based melodic doom metal formation Daylight Dies have decided to disband.

Fire In The Mountains was an incredible experience. If I could only go to one festival type experience ever again, it would be that one. Being disconnected from the internet and fully in community with other people was great, the panels were outstanding, and Montana is beautiful. Go if you can.

thenighttimeproject.bandcamp.com/album/pale-s... Revisiting this to help get creative juices flowing. Fredrik Norrman is one of my favorite guitar players ever. Definitely has some late 2000s Katatonia via FN on guitar, but is very much its own thing. Great album if you like moody/proggy stuff.

Pale Season, by TheNightTimeProject

9 track album

Damn, that new Sojourner album is great.

Summer is in full swing, so it's time for what's always been one of my quintessential "summer" albums.

A few words of advice if you are in band: - all money coming into the band should go into one account that is not owned & accessible only by a single member of the band. That money should only be used for band expenses - If the band raises money for charity, donations, etc: RECEIPTS & TRANSPARENCY

It's out now! Me and @rubyrockatansky.bsky.social present volume one of 𝕿𝖗𝖆𝖓𝖘𝖎𝖊𝖓𝖙 𝖁𝖔𝖑𝖙𝖆𝖌𝖊: 𝔄 ℭ𝔬𝔪𝔭𝔦𝔩𝔞𝔱𝔦𝔬𝔫 𝔬𝔣 𝔗𝔯𝔞𝔫𝔰 𝔐𝔢𝔱𝔞𝔩 𝔇𝔦𝔰𝔠𝔥𝔞𝔯𝔤𝔢! transientvoltage.bandcamp.com/album/transi...

The album rules. Great riffs and melodies, great vocals (clean and harsh,) killer stuff. Alex and Steve absolutely wrote bangers here. It's more important than ever to support physical media in an age of increasing digital impermanence - so get a copy of some excellent black metal while you can.

Eveale@eveale.bsky.social · last mo.

Are you a fan of any of the following?: Borknagar Emperor Enslaved Darkthrone Nidingr Agalloch Gallowbraid Then we can almost guarentee that you will enjoy the woodland black metal stylings of Eveale. But don't just take out word for it. Find out here eveale.bandcamp.com #Metalsky #BlackMetal

Still alive, just been off social media due to myriad health issues both physical & (especially) mental over the past year+. OCD is a brutal illness that can upend every piece of stability in your life. Mental, physical, work, hobbies, relationships, you name it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I am in fucking tears. Just visited some friends in Oklahoma City who made me aware of this sculpture affectionately referred to as the “OKC Cock Ring.” How the fuck this made it through an approval process, I have no idea. But it did make me laugh harder than I have in weeks.

Tomorrow is the last Bandcamp Friday of the year, during which they waiver all of the sales to the artists. Consider supporting the bands and artists who have made your top 10 this year, especially smaller acts. It's so important.

cam@littlegoodfrog.online · 2y ago

If you have a “year in review” thing for your music streaming service I can’t reccomend enough going through your top 10 and making sure you buy each of those albums that’s available on bandcamp! And support small artists year round!!!

Reminder that Bandcamp Friday is tomorrow. Please consider purchasing the Heavy for the Hollers compilation and/or the debut EP. All funds for both are going to great causes and all fees will be cut. Links on @threnodistofficial.bsky.social

It really can't be stated enough how the AI craze is rooted deeply in utter vitriolic disrespect for the working class. Like I've seen multiple cases of this tech being marketed directly on sticking it to us filthy poors who want things like "benefits" and "fair pay for our labor"

This is why we will always try to promote our work on Ampwall before we do any other platform. Ampwall genuinely cares about the artists. @subvertallmedia.com is a musician himself. Ampwall is quite literally by artists, for artists. It's not only the ethical choice, but it's so easy to use!

Ampwall@ampwall.com · 2y ago

A gentle reminder that Ampwall stands firmly against LLM AI-created music. Our platform and community exists to strengthen artists and music scenes. We stand proudly with every person who pours their energy and emotion into their work.

Seeing significantly more people wearing masks this holiday season. Smart. Viral infections surge during this time of year due to travel and more time spent indoors. Wearing a masks means avoiding illness and therefore more valuable time spent with loved ones.

Release @frankhath.bsky.social from containment! He's not a spam account, just a funny little guy who sings for the band Hath. He likes to meme a lil - who doesn't? F R E E H I M @support.bsky.team

Ana(bel)@fullmetalkitchen.bsky.social · 2y ago

Hey, @support.bsky.team, tapping in to say that @frankhath.bsky.social is not a spam account, that flag has been erroneously placed. Plenty of #MetalSky folks can corroborate! Hope this gets fixed soon.

Tonight's reading. This is shaping up to be one I'm going to knock out in an evening since it's only 155 pages. It's the first of Lethem's books I've ever read, having got it in my monthly PM Press subscription, but most definitely it's not going to be the last one.

youtu.be/pVuSMym-j2Q After running Kalmah's discography, I'll never understand how they never took off like Insomnium or Children of Bodom. They've got elements fans of both should like, and I feel like they've been a lot more consistent over time. Seeing this song live in 2019 was so damn heavy.

I am once again listening to Spectrum by the illustrious, genre-bending black metal band @amiintrouble.bsky.social Y'all need to pick this album up the instant it comes out next year on Jan 3rd. It's titanic in every sense of the word.

Writing lyrics about deep grief is something I'm not used to. It's not like fantastical themes or political topics where I can find the words and be mostly satisfied. For this I can still find words, but then they change. Then they change again and again. As if my words will never be enough.

Use the term “touch grass” to indicate that someone needs to seek out reality, use the term “touch moss” to indicate that they need to seek out ancient forest magic beyond their mortal comprehension.
