You fuckers thought I was joking.

The BAT, otherwise known as Chris Barber, descends to flap his wings and bash out a full drum performance of Enter the Woodland Realm, the title track from @eveale.bsky.social'a debut full-length! Graphic design and video editing by @triumvir.bsky.social

Fuck AI album art, we're putting glow-in-the-dark vampire fangs on fake skeletons over here.

A big-city woman learns what it takes to make it in a small town after a run-in with some ghosts in Shirley Jackson's short story Home. Tune in! (link in comments)

Full video of our performance at POW XIV with @darrenkorb.bsky.social, Ashley Barrett, Erin Yvette, and Judy Alice Lee is live! Thank you to 8bitsf and @magfest.org for putting on this show! 🎥 @saxindacity on IG 🎶 @vikingguitar.bsky.social #hades #hades2 #supergiantgames 🔗 youtu.be/oD53tZ5tvBU

T-minus 20 minutes youtu.be/oD53tZ5tvBU?...

May 1st is next week. Repeat MAY 1ST IS NEXT WEEK. The Woodland Realm beckons. hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-... #Metalsky #Blackmetal

It costs absolutely nothing to share this link to @eveale.bsky.social music: hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-... It costs absolutely nothing to stream both singles now! It costs absolutely nothing to follow @eveale.bsky.social on Bluesky (And other socials if you're that way inclined).

Simon has left the band and whats worse Alvin said our band is called Alvin and the Chipmunk now. like im just a thing

The Necroscope album is called “Scope Creep.” It’s coming out May 1. It fucking rules.

I am so damn excited for this to release.

To all my VGM CON-going friends, have fun!

the median American voter's beliefs are just the lyrics to Peace Sells by Megadeth

FOREST DWELLERS! Over 1.5k streams within the first week of release for this single is phenomenal. We thank you for your continued support. It's now just over 2 weeks until the album sees the light of day and we are so ready for it to be out there.

When it’s time to fight the God of the Dead 💀 @darrenkorb.bsky.social shredded with us on this one. Full video release of our show at POW XIV to be announced soon! #hades #hades2 #supergiantgames

Almost through a fluke, I'm participating in a full-length Necroscope concept album that's coming out next month. Think of it as Necroscope: The Movie: The Soundtrack. I have @strangestudies.bsky.social to thank for this.

FOREST DWELLERS! There are only FOUR CD Bundles left available for preorder. We strongly advise that you grab one now to avoid disappointment. You will get both singles "Carniflora" & "Enter the Woodland Realm" immediately. hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-... #Metalsky #blackmetal

Enjoying a walk on this fine spring day.

This is admittedly a blanket statement, but every YouTube video on audio production with either "pro" or "secret" in it is just abject bullshit.

FOREST DWELLERS! The single "Enter the Woodland Realm" is out everywhere now! Add it to your streaming playlist and share it everywhere! If you like what you hear, get your physical copy secured via @hypaethralrecords.com here: hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-... #Metalsky #Blackmetal

I have some openings coming up for mixing work. Here's a demo reel (that needs to be updated. :P ) I specialize in metal, but can work with anything you've got cooking. Let's cook together. Like a family. youtu.be/mxIl3WTa2iU #mixing #audiomixing

Never have I been so disappointed by a parody account.

Hell yeah, my mixing work is getting shared by Decibel again?

The next single from Enter the Woodland Realm is now streaming over at @decibelmagazine.bsky.social I'm so proud of what @loachy16.bsky.social, @vikingguitar.bsky.social, Chris, and I created here www.decibelmagazine.com/2026/04/08/t...

Every Castlevania game is about going into a room and there’s just some asshole.

It's baffling to me that Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson have to defend using the "Rush" name for their new shows. No one on the planet has the right to tell these guys what they can and can't do. Full stop.

It is Easter Monday, so what better way to celebrate than by listening to a track about killer plants, and then pre-ordering a forthcoming black metal album? None, there is no better way to celebrate. Handily, you can do both things at this link! hypaethralrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enter-...

The 25th amendment exists for a reason. This madman is the reason. This post is the reason. @SpeakerJohnson and @LeaderJohnThune, call Congress back into session today. Do your fucking jobs and defend America from this demented and deranged lunatic.

For the past twenty five years, my favorite guitar tracking technique is stacking octave chord harmonies like in Static-X's "Love Dump."

Who’s got some death metal I can mix? Feeling the need for bubbling lava.

My fellow writers might not want to hear this, but AI is a useful tool for certain aspects of the craft, like for instance when you’re engaged in the process of being a talentless shitbag hack who is too lazy to do any fucking writing.

Holy fuck, are we actually getting a new Heroes game?

SML wraps up with a preview of Descent of Lunaris from @unisongameshq.bsky.social and some music from @vikingguitar.bsky.social LIVE from Ghosts 'n Goblins! Thanks again to @spiltmilkstudios.bsky.social for joining this episode, go check out Trash Goblin NOW! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcxl...

Tuesday night. Raining hard. Old Amon Amarth. Doing what I can.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Not that you need to hear it from me, but you’re valid and you don’t deserve the bullshit that the world is throwing at you.

They Will Kill You was not a good movie, but holy shit did I have a blast watching it.

FOREST DWELLERS! Sunday evening! A time where many people are sat, scrolling on their phones. Help us put some black metal music on their timelines and share Eveale! Listen to "Carniflora" and pre-order our album here 👇🏻 listen.hypaethralrecords.com/album/enter-... #Metalsky

are you: trans? a metal musician? want to contribute to a compilation album that will raise money directly for trans people in need? then what the fuck are you waiting for?? get in the pit!! forms.gle/dhtLGhurrwQs...

Does anyone have any solid suggestions on a trans-led organization whose work has a tangible positive impact on trans lives? Would prefer to hear from someone who has directly worked with and benefited from such an org, but any suggestions that aren't a well-known, large operation would be lovely💕

It's been 3 months since the Justice Department was supposed to release the full, unredacted Epstein files.

I dug the new Neurosis album, but my prevailing thought was that I just wanted more Isis.

Trump’s actions seem perplexing, but you have to understand that while the rest of us are playing checkers, he’s a war criminal who rapes children.

Sometimes you just need a power fantasy where you destroy fucking everything. <installs Space Marine 2>

It also has a burn so good, the actor nearly broke character

UPDATE: This is kicking so much ass.
