Breathing in, I know I’m breathing in Breathing out, I know I am silently yelling “fuck” into the void

How the fuck is anyone supposed to cope with this? Like, I’m done with work, fed the kids, and am now able to step back and think about the day. And, fuck…

I’m back to that oi!/punk grind. Thank you for participating in my prog/djent drive. Here’s another killer one from this year.

Gonna put some new catchy as hell oi! songs on. New Noi!se from Friday.

Why isn’t there a Star Wars: The Musical

Speaking of lovey and over the top: y’all checked out the singles from the upcoming Atavistia?!?!

My parents are in town and they are amazing humans. I grew up in the evangelical church, my dad was the pastor, and now here we are, so many years later, celebrating easter with no church or big meal but rather tarot card readings by my mom. And donuts—we still had donuts.

Exactly as over the top and amazing as I remember.

Not familiar with them but this is apparently new professional recording and reworking of previous material and it’s some damn nice sounding symphonic black metal on the rawer side. Released Friday.

I’m not sure about hope but I absolutely am committed and think it’s essential we find ways to cultivate non-despair.

Still so excited about new Downfall of Nur in May. Their last one from 2015 is a classic / fave, and the Ysyry Mollvün one from 2022 was lovely (you might remember the cover). In that atmoblack style with folk elements. Playing it now, with rain outside. Lovely stuff.

Took a kind of “senior photo” style photo of the 13 yr old and they told me it sucks bc it looks like AI and there are so many different reactions I have but mostly the youth are alright in thinking AI is trash (but my photo skills are great)

Oh, this is the single from an 80 min full album out in May?!?!

Over a decade later, a new Downfall of Nur track!

This is from March and deserves more attention: proggy post / extreme metal. Guest vocals by Mark from Kardashev on final track. Monosphere: Amnesia.

Today Non Est Deus release a new album. I won't listen to it as i'm too annoyed by the bandleader's ties to at the very least fash adjacent people. He calls himself Noise or Noisebringer and is best known for his project Kanonenfieber. He also organizes festivals and has some other projects.

I used to have free access to NYTimes, for years, until this month. They offered me $50 for a full year. An incredible deal. I didn’t take it. Because of their anti-trans framing of *everything.* I’m just one person but hope they know they are losing, in every single way.

Surprise Starer drop. Featuring what’s possibly the world’s first black metal cover of John Mellencamp. Also this is a fundraiser for the ESMA animal shelter so please share and help if you can. Thank you. starer.bandcamp.com/album/skelet...

On Transcending Obscurity and by “former Stortregn vocalist/guitarist Romain Negro” so I hit play.

This (released today) is like a perfect 90s summer album of skate punk and smashmouth and hip hop and more. That’s a good thing.

Not much time on the lists and no genre tags today but here’s what is on my radar for new releases and it’s a good mix of stuff. Codefendants Doodseskedar Green Carnation Herba Lantlôs Non Est Deus Poison Ruïn

It really sucks at a world-historical level how absolutely lucky Trump is. Like, yeah, totally corrupt and scheming and all but also just held up again and again by sheer luck.

I love this version of me, that’s all.

Animal tattoos are the best because they don’t flake: they shed, slough and molt. Yes, my bird is now molting.

Top albums played in March: looks mighty tasty to me.

Sorry, AI art even for april fools laughs still sucks and that’s no joke

Y’all know how it goes. List 5 [anything] to get to know me. 1. Nothing wrong with me. 2. Nothing wrong…..

Considering a backwards catalog run. At least starting here today. *marked safe from participating in april fools shenanigans*

That the age of US global hegemony is ending with a self-goal is so perfectly fitting.

No you djen’t. Yes I djented.

Trans Day of Visibility!!! Trans people being visible—living their lives—is why and how I found my way to being nonbinary. I can’t say enough how absolutely thankful I am and I hope all trans people hear another reminder today that their lives are a gift and they are and deserve to be celebrated.

We should also have Satanic youth pastor metal jokes: “You see, the real Rotting Christ isn’t the pile of dust and bones in some unmarked tomb. It’s right here.” *pointing to their heart*

We need more extreme metal youth pastor jokes. “Well, you all know the one everyone thought was Fit for an Autopsy? Right. But guess what. They didn’t think about what he prophecied would come After the Burial.”

Absolute loser, doing the whole blame a bigot’s bigotry on the people calling out the bigot’s bigotry: “I do disagree with much of it, much of it I think has been twisted and misrepresented, and she has doubled down on it at her own cost.”

Look at me. Back in 2026. Not djent. Proggy death metal from Australia. Released Friday: Growth, Under the Under

Hiphop punkrock with Fat Mike appearing on bass. Full album releases Friday.

I think Hanging Garden is becoming my fave release from March. I keep returning to it and love that blackened intro to the album—just had such a nice flow overall. Y’all have a fave / emerging fave from March?

Paul didn’t write all those letters and it is neither possible nor desirable to try to remove all the inconsistencies and contradictions from the bible

And despite what people may think, this isn't really ego that makes it debilitating. What makes it so hard is that you've prepared yourself to be vulnerable and open to the world and that moment passes by with no recognition. You never completely get used to it, you just learn how to handle it.

For those keeping score: Wolves in the Throne Room broke through the djent haze I’ve been in. Thrice Woven, randomly. Fitting a nice mood with this late afternoon sunlight

I keep looking at it and it brings me so much joy so I’m posting it again.

Ok, so here are a few download codes for Night Vigil's The Hamlet now that I've managed to get them tsg9-umec 6fhk-cjqu kwcu-xgyp uppd-j3nn m9fs-kwvj fydc-y4ty 5uqq-bmrf gm8f-wzcm 3rzx-cg4g av2j-xbj3 8gv8-ewzs 22bt-3wyl hnj3-ypzb jwgl-7fyx fhk4-vm7q l43j-ggpz nightvigil.bandcamp.com/yum

You know bsky has a liberal lean because the leaders here actively scorn their actual base and wish they had different constituents

“But Timothy, that’s not really djent at all.” “So what you’re saying is that…it’s on the periphery?”

Back on that djent grind and thanks bsky team for the rec on this one Im currently enjoying

Becoming more and more at ease as this embodiment. New addition today.

No idea how I ended up here in my listening but I’m enjoying it hemelbestormer.bandcamp.com/album/the-ra...

I interrupt my djent days with some new metallic hardcore that will definitely make you want to throw down and spin kick through your day. Circle Back, Built From Bones from South Carolina.
