Has been going down the pan the last couple of years with hardly any new beers but what a service they produced during the covid years. Lived next to the brewery so used to swing by to pick up an order and then cycle 10 miles each way dropping it off to friends. RIP OVertone!

Review | Ingrina - Nåværende Lys by @garydavidson.bsky.social "Incredible French atmospheric post-metal troupe Ingrina, complete a trilogy of work in stunning fashion and build walls of sound even higher than before." echoesanddust.com/2026/02/ingr...

Dimscûa are one of my favourite bands at the moment (cheers @garydavidson.bsky.social for introducing me to them!). Dust Eater is a beautiful, incredibly moving EP and this pro-shot live performance of the entire thing is absolutely great. Can't recommend them enough www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMuo...

Absolutely loving this band more every time I see them. Gout from Glasgow. goutgoutgout.bandcamp.com/album/born-r... 2

Review | br_nz_/_ge - c_w_rds by @garydavidson.bsky.social "c_w_rds is an incredibly catchy album, the sum of its parts adds together perfectly and the sides of awkwardness and individuality mix to perfection." echoesanddust.com/2026/02/br_n...

There's 4 incredible metal compilations out @ £3 each today from literally dozens of bands I have a huge amount of love and respect for in aid of Palestine Children's Relief Fund with all proceeds going to them.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are his net worth is $253.2 billion. so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire and then do it again tomorrow and again the day after that and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

Just what my Monday needed some #post-metal with huge touches of #post-hardcore and #screamo and more. Limbs - Like A Poet, Keen To The Rustle Of Leaves Manila, Philippines limbs1991.bandcamp.com/album/like-a...

Chalk Hands - Pauvre de Moi www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ6h...

⬇️ New Video "ENDLESS NIGHT" now available ⬇️ urls.fr/Ix7On4 #postmetal #posthardcore #frenchmetalband #morewomenonstage #femalesinger #besancon #metalband #endlessnight

Big news in the #screamo world, eyelet have a new album coming out which I think is happening on the 6th of February. eyelet.bandcamp.com/album/soleno...

Nice to see Lesotho back with some more energetic instrumental #post-metal lesotho.bandcamp.com/album/a-flas...

fiadh is an openly antifascist label. we do NOT require artists we work with to make political statements, but we DO require them to reject fascism, hateful ideologies & nsbm/nsds. if you are unwilling to do that, pls look elsewhere 💕

New video soon...

I like it

New Poison the Well! www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkNr... Thoroughbreds from the album Peace In Place out March 20th! #metalcore

Damn I keep forgetting how good this is: Sundr - I've Forgotten How To Be Alone #post-metal www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnkl...

Rush - 2112 💪

I am going to put on the debut after this and turn off all the lights and ramp up the incense. Good night world. *Shels - Plains of the Purple Buffalo #post-metal #post-rock

I am at the point of utter despair with the world. After millions marched against the Iraq war in the UK and were easily ignored I knew the good times were over. Music is the escape for me and I would love to hear more post-black from Thought Trails: thoughttrials.bandcamp.com/album/earthr...

Miasme – Keep Them at a Distance (Review) wp.me/p3zRmN-hMj Manifesting as blackened post-metal, the artist behind Miasme has managed to take a range of influences and combine them effectively into something with a voice of its own #metal #blackmetal #postblackmetal #postmetal #metalsky

@last.fm stats are out and my fan boy status of Dimscûa has been confirmed 😅

Going through my bandcamp Wishlist and rediscovered this tremendous #screamo ep which came out in 2025. Delicious traditional screamo guitar tones. Great compositions. youreyesinmine s/t youreyesinmine.bandcamp.com/album/s-t

The only end of year list that matters :)

Just here to get #Lemmy trending

If you're interested in how getting music on TV works I've written a big thing here about how a track of mine that's made from only sounds made it onto 'Atlanta' and one of the greatest scenes in TV history (IMO). It's free to sign up/read! www.patreon.com/posts/atlant...

End of year music stuff. Thread 1/12 My top 9 albums of 2025 Holy shit... what a year for music. Anyone who says "Music isn't as good as it used to be" isn't listening. There is so much of it, it's impossible that there's nothing out there for them. #metalsky \m/ #albumoftheyear #music

YEARLIST. I love this to bits, and I have done this for twenty years now. From tomorrow onwards, I'll start sharing my top 30 of the year. But I first want to start with some shout-outs, records that I really liked but that just fell short. I still love them. #yearlist #impeccabletaste #notreally

Here we go machinemusic.net/2025/12/18/m...

...and 1-10

Just been pointed out to me how similar the wording of Ricks write up of the Dimscûa release is to my original review! Copy pasta or AI? Poor show for a music publication.

Took a little break, but let's continue back with some more heavy stuff! Here are my 2025 picks for SCREAMO/METALCORE! This is also kinda broad though, as it mostly just features punk/metal/emo crossover genres with lots of harsh vocals.

Feels like one of those days where it could go from Grandaddy to nu-metal! www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5Ds...

Now in full quality download, the finest Christmas cover! oceansize.bandcamp.com/track/walkin...

It's that time again! The votes have been counted & verified and the results of the E&D 2025 Writers' Poll are now in! See the full list here: echoesanddust.com/records-of-t... Massive thanks to all of our writers for their efforts this year & to our readers for making it worthwhile.

Covering death metal, grindcore, noise, breakcore, harsh noise wall; technical, industrial and at times melodic metal, sound collage, experimetal electronic and a general all-across-the-board-styles enthusiasm. If you have that too, this is for you. owlripperrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/assemb...

2026 is promising some interesting things, this has really piqued my interest: viborahc.bandcamp.com/album/egin-e... Egin Ez Dugun Guztia by VIBORA or VÍBORA Coming out through @zegemabeachrecords.bsky.social (obviously) and BCore Disc and the band in the EU. #post-hardcore #post-metal #screamo

Back again listening to Wildrenesses - English Darkness Really looking forward to seeing where else this band goes. Nice hints of #post-rock with a great vocal narrative and downbeat indie leanings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5goi...

In advance of sharing my 2025 AOTY's, I'm sharing a playlist of my favorites from last year. In retrospect, I think the list largely holds up. Enjoy! (or don't) #metalsky bandcamp.com/gdore/playli...

Allez, cette année je réduis à 25 mes albums de l'année ! (je n'ai évidemment pas réussi)

My #eoty2025. First two rows are pretty set. Third row is fluid, based on last one I listened to and honestly, the last 3 rows could all be in third row on any given day if I'm in the right mood. #metalsky * Skagos would be in the top row if I added an album from the end of 2024.

Our EU/UK tour with Coltaine is only a month away! 💜🌀 Tickets: bandsintown.com/faetooth

Dimscûa - Dust Eater dimscua.bandcamp.com/album/dust-e... My favourite and most impactful musical listen of the year. It was wonderful to find this and insane to see it soar afterwards. Wonderful people and incredible music.

I made too many lists. Here are my lists, your official and totally objective guides, all in one place. •2025 Albums of the Year •2025 EPs/Splits of the Year •25 Key Albums of the 2000’s
