Finished this in totality yesterday. I am more curious and maybe more confused. Every time I encounter something written by Dogen Zenji I'm always at least a bit floored
Sam | Rainbow in the Dark@ritd-pride.bsky.social · 4mo agoOn the recommendation of @wolvendaughter.bsky.social, reading this on my travels today
I mostly read Angry Metal Guy who don't seem to have a patreon, would love to support someone though
Shayne Mathis@metalshayne.bsky.social · 13h agoNow would be a good time to sign up for the subscription tier or Patreon of 1 or 2 independent music sites you enjoy reading. The ad supported revenue model is dead. If you aren’t willing to pay for music writing you aren’t going to have access to it much longer.
Bumping that new Beyond Grace, which is very good shit
I think this is the only time the "blue castle on the cover" rule fails to deliver a good album.
"We're making Black Metal inspired by HP" "oh, Lovecraft?" "no 🙂"
bayou blastbeats@bayoublastbeats.bsky.social · 5d agoI quit liking all black metal just a second ago
Going to a local gig tonight to talk band plans
I submitted the application, I now need all the good fortune you can offer me
Before they were throwing. . . . . .they were Bolt.

I don't have Spotify so I've only just heard @beyond-ideology.bsky.social's cover of "If you Tolerate this your Children Will be Next". Such a brilliant fit for Welcome to the New Dark Ages www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaRQ...

X-Ray done today, fingers crossed but I could be out for the rest of the season. Miserable year for injuries but some of my best playing
2026 is many things but for me, it will probably always be the year of technical thrash metal.
Heavy Blog is Heavy@heavyblog.bsky.social · 3w agoWe are kicking off our The Best Music of 2026 So Far content with an essay from Eden. In 2026, there were many, many excellent releases in the field of technical/progressive thrash metal. Why? How? Also: holy shit YES! https://loom.ly/cz3RCNo
Not normally one to comment on celebrity deaths, but Sam Neil's performance is a major part of In the Mouth of Madness, one of my favourite films
Why did you opt for a different one on Metal Archives?
Eveale@eveale.bsky.social · 4w agoThe votes are in!! Photo number 3 was the people's champion. Thank you to all who took part - That was fun! We will begin the process of changing our pfp across all platforms to this. Once again, huge thanks to @janed-l.bsky.social for the photography skills.

Looks like I'm going to writing a PhD application
My emotional support Gothic metal band recorded another delight,. everything sounds like it was written with a glass of red wine. Under the moon, under the spell indeed
Sam | Rainbow in the Dark@ritd-pride.bsky.social · last mo.CD arrived so I'm diving into the new Moonspell

Cursed subgenres I don't have the skill to actually bring into being: Blackened grunge Epic Sludge Atmospheric Thrash metal Dissonant Power metal
1. Diadem of 12 Stars Strikes me as more interesting than atmospheric black metal normally is (I don't really know where this falls in the development of the subgenre). I like the melodic tendencies a lot and I'm really into the way texture is built
Sam | Rainbow in the Dark@ritd-pride.bsky.social · last mo.Having never listened to Wolves in the Throne Room before, I'm doing a discography dive to see if I want to see them when they bring Worm and Final Dose to town
