the reluctance for anyone still actively supporting Twitter/X to reconsider about what they're doing remarkable. Would you keep working or giving quotes to a newspaper that was publishing erotica about 11 year old kids? or photos of people that were photoshopped to remove their clothing?

My Top 15 Albums of 2025. See the linked thread, check the Topsters for an at-a-glance look, and you can listen to all the artists listed on the playlist below (Spectrum is missing from the playlist b/c I own it on Ampwall, not Bandcamp) #metalsky bandcamp.com/gdore/playli...

www.angrymetalguy.com/sallow-moth-... “While it doesn’t fit neatly under either technical or brutal death metal, Mossbane Lantern cherry picks elements of each and infuses them with enough avant-garde, proggy nuttiness to trigger an allergic reaction…It’s a trip you don’t want to miss.”

Hey #metalsky, very happy with my final 42 AOTYs… rough order of relative preference with Dessiderium edging past Blood Abscission II for top spot… nothing too shocking for those that know my taste #aoty #lists #metal (Full list in alt text)

OK, I think my Top 25 list is more or less done (barring last minute surprises) so here we go. Unranked.

Oh hey, my band has a new EP out today! My poetry and short stories narrated over dreamy, adventurous prog with Travis Orbin on drums! instar1.bandcamp.com/album/ad-ast...

Every year I find at least one album in December that absolutely takes over my listening. This year, it's this one. HOLY SHIT. Seriously melodic black and death metal with some of the best synth grooves I've ever heard. labyrinthusstellarum.bandcamp.com/album/rift-i...

🔥🔥 Releases of the Weeks 17, 24 & 31 Oct. 2025 🔥🔥 Check out our mini reviews of the highlights, and dive into the extensive list of other releases. We even added the Bandcamp links where available for your convenience: theprogspace.com/album_releas...

Did you know I'm in a band? My job is narrating my poems and short stories over weird, adventurous prog. We're gearing up to release a new EP, this is my favorite track we've done (also featuring a poem by Sarah Blake! instar1.bandcamp.com/track/neutro...

Bandcamp Friday. If you feel inclined to grab anything I have a lot of music from this year depending on your interests. Busiest year for my Sallow Moth project with Mossbane Lantern, a brutal dm demo, and 2 EPs.

Pre-order is now live for the second run of this tee! This time all proceeds will be going to Carolina Migrant Network, an organization providing free legal representation for people facing removal proceedings or who are in immigrant detention facilities.

New stuff with the newer Sallow Moth logo I drew. Shaka Wear heavyweight drop-shoulder shirts and classic hats (embroidered). 🔗⬇️

"Brass de Chocobo" Final Fantasy X (2001)

Just discovered a long split up Mexican band, described as "Melodic Technical Death Metal" and that's an instabuy for me. Very Within The Ruins/The Raven Autarchy-esque and a bit Djenty, so not for everyone who isn't me. thegreatnessdesign.bandcamp.com/album/pillar...

FULL FORCE FRIDAY:🆕November 28th7⃣🎧 DYSSIDIA - Deeper Wells Of Meaning 🇦🇺💠 2nd album from Adelaide, SA, U.S Progressive Metal outfit💠 BC➡️dyssidia.bandcamp.com/album/deeper...💠 #Dyssidia #DeeperWells #ProgressiveMetal #FFFNov28 #KMäN

Sat 22nd Nov 2025 *Convulsing (Adelaide, prev. Sydney) convulsing.bandcamp.com/music #BlackMetal #DeathMetal #AusMetal #OzMetal #AusMusic *solo project, is also a member of Altars and Dumbsaint. Two more great Aussie bands worth checking out.

Nov 21 Stellar Remains - Wastelands (2024) A tight 26 mins of prog death that I enjoyed even more than I remembered! It's got a great blend of sludge and atmospheric influences. Bonus: the artist responsible is also behind my pick for Nov 3, Echoes of Gloom.

Nov 20 Opus of a Machine - Stray Fire (2018) More Aussie prog metal. This one is a little less 'straight ahead' than Hemina, having more of a post-rock flavour. There's quite a diversity amongst the tracks, but huge closer Beacon showcases some of the best of the band's toolkit. #AusMusicMonth

Nov 19 Rise of Avernus - L'appel du Vide (2013) The second death metal album in this thread with this title 😅 Both quite distinct styles though. I'd forgotten how much I love this album. An emotive form of melodic death/doom, with some symphonic and gothic aspects. #AusMusicMonth

Nov 18 Hemina - Night Echoes (2019) Excellent Australian prog metal, and this is probably my favourite albums of theirs. A concept album in a multi-album concept series, featuring huge vocal hooks & harmonies. #AusMusicMonth

I fell behind with my #AusMusicMonth posting so apologies for incoming spam as I catch up. Should be good spam though!

It’s been a fulfilling year creatively. With the 2 new Sallow Moth EPs out today that concludes my output for 2025. There’s more written, but will be for next year. I appreciate all the support, collaborations, and artists hired. 4 full lengths, 3 EPs, 1 split, 1 demo

The person working the merch table told me that the album art is based on a photo Alex Haddad took of a park he played in as a kid. He and his friends liked to imagine what was in the tunnel/pipe.

Wed 19th Nov 2025 The Stranger (Brisbane) thestrangerofficial.bandcamp.com/music #Progressive #Metal #AusMetal #OzMetal #AusMusic

New Album Review 🎶🔥🤘 AEONS - 6EQUJ5 Isle of Man's Progmetal powerhouse AEONS are set to release their new opus, "6EQUJ5", on November 21st via Layered Reality Productions. Inspired by the WOW! signal, they take us on a stellar prog journey! Welcome to read more at mostly-metal.net/Aeons-6EQUJ5/

Opeth - Sydney Opera House, 18.11.2025 #Opeth #Metal

Both EP tapes can be preordered now on my Bandcamp. 50 copies each. $9 plus shipping. About 50+ minutes of new Sallow Moth

Mon 17th Nov 2025 Hope Drone (Brisbane) hopedrone.bandcamp.com/music #Atmospheric #PostBlack #Metal #AusMetal #OzMetal #AusMusic

First gig back went great! Everyone go listen and follow my new band, Tiger Driver!! linktr.ee/tigerdriverb...

pretty weird that our second most populous state will treat 14 year olds like they're adults, but won't let them on social media until they're 16. feels like a bit of dissonance there

Mon 10th Nov 2025 Midnight Odyssey (Brisbane) midnightodyssey.bandcamp.com/music #Ambient #Black #Metal #AusMetal #OzMetal #AusMusic *first four full-length albums below

Nov 8 Barriers - Decay (2025) A recent release I’ve been enjoying - a tight 28 min slab of heavy mid tempo sludge. Their Bandcamp page has several core tags, but there’s not really much of that here, just moody, riffy heaviness. The closing track is a highlight of their best. #AusMusicMonth

Nov 7 Suldusk - Anthesis (2024) One of my favourite albums of last year, dynamics are the name of the game. Melancholic, explosive, introspective & entrancing are some of the adjectives that come to mind, wrapped up in a sublime vocal performance. #AusMusicMonth
