This is sick, actually youtu.be/fD_RZQC8LL8?...

New album sounds like this youtu.be/iq_d8VSM0nw?...

Satyricon have always been a massive inspiration to me, but the past year, I've been thinking a lot about how good Sigurd is at writing lines that stand by themselves. Been trying to channel that. youtu.be/5GW1W72xHMs?...

Song topics: Overdosing so many times you can feel who you were slipping away The impossibility of preparing for the death of a loved one Becoming a Martyr because it gives you an easy escape from the pursuit of a greater meaning in life Two scientists attempt to create an angel Guy who bleeds a lot

Asks my bandmates for song topics Bandmate: "What about an exploration of man's greed and consumerism?" Me: "I feel like I've done that. What if when people took communion, the blood was real and came from one guy and he was just bleeding forever so everyone could take communion?"

Album of the year drops on Friday youtu.be/iFmNWm60bjA?...

This was supposed to arrive yesterday and just came in the mail. It's wild that if I started it now I still wouldn't be able to finish it before bed.

new Exhumed video? yes. new Exhumed album? also, yes

This is very important to me youtu.be/Br7beKBJFLE?...

With all these fancy techniques being used these days it's refreshing to see someone just playin' real fast youtu.be/bBxau84zqr4?...

The ending of the closing track of our new album is so fast that I giggle every time I hear it

The list no one asked for! Of the 256 films I watched this year, these are the top 16 I saw for the first time in 2025! Trying to see 365 films next year. I was close in 2024, gotta lock in in 2026.

And here it is! My top 50 albums of 2025!! youtu.be/f5bATWyPIo0

I didn't realize how much of Peter Kropotkin's Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution, would be him flexing about all the parts of the world he has been to and all the animals he observed to go "see, this is an example of mutual aid in nature."

Our guitarist, Austin, is filling in on guitar for the upcoming Cognitive shows Jan 9th-10th. He's a monster and way better at lead playing then me, so def check that shit out if you can. youtu.be/HAUw8dNghh8?...

It was previously pretty hard/obnoxious to watch Adieu Philippine, so this rules. Essential New Wave film.

DETH DEKK DOMINIONS:🎧🆕🎧 BURNING PALACE - Dark Matter EP 🇺🇸💠 5 Track EP from Santa Rosa, California, U.S Dissonant/Tech Death Metal outfit💠 BC➡️burningpalaceofficial.bandcamp.com/album/dark-m...💠 #BurningPalace #DarkMatter #DissoTechDeath #DDDDec19 #DethDekk #KMäN

This is important youtu.be/vD1bemWtjUU?...

Burning Palace just dropped an EP that goes harder than the full length they dropped this year AND has all the banger singles from 2023 burningpalaceofficial.bandcamp.com/album/dark-m...

I forgot this dropped this year... This should be on the list too

1 video game 1 song 1 book 1 movie

Another banger from my favorites of the year: Nekyros with my favorite vocal performance of the year nekyros.bandcamp.com/album/nyxian...

Many ignant releases were dropped this year, but only one had the In the Air Tonight fill youtu.be/yIwQMRRuEiI?...

Top 16 of 2025. I could easily expand to a top 25 of 2025, but these are the metal releases I've spent the most time with and kept going back to. That Synaptic release dropped in January and never left rotation, absolute BANGER. Also, Pithy dropped a full-length that rips, but the DEMO has edge.

This year was real wonky and I mosty listened to country so for some reason looking at this list I'm like... yea, that makes sense metalinjection.net/lists/metal-...

One of the most slept on releases in recent memory fawnlimbs.bandcamp.com/album/vestig...

I was real into whatever wave of rock that was like: The Flaming Lips of Montreal The Shins Pinback Sebadoh I guess it was College rock? Pinback is still one of my favorite bands of all time

Was practicing some old tunes and fell down a rabbit hole of videos of me playing 11+ years ago and am proud to say my playing has gotten way cleaner since then and my live vocal tone has gotten better youtu.be/QoH0pjMWUqU?...

I miss them hypnoticdirgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/heresi...

Does the new cut of Kill Bill include the part made for Fortnite? youtu.be/a4QK_13rlxc?...

The new Archspire is using some very standard sweep shapes done so insanely fast that there is no way I'd ever commit the time to get them up to speed. Insane. youtu.be/waBjrggVSQI?...

New Archspire sounds like Archspire 🖤 youtu.be/bv27DODOLik?...
