yesterday’s release: aquilus • griseus 🌫️ professionally duplicated in real-time 🍂 two-sided j-card + 3 panels 🌫️ pad printed art on shells 🍂 limited edition of 99 cultofthemoonrecords.bandcamp.com/album/griseus

What an extraordinary venue to host an Opeth show. Growing up in West Yorkshire I visited the Piece Hall many times. A beautiful place and very in keeping with the period nature of The Last Will…

Species and Violator both thrash. Demersal and Raein are both killer scramz. Infiltrator is Bolt Thrower and Drawn & Quartered is solid ass Death Metal. Autrest is just amazing atmoblack from Brazil FFO Ethereal Shroud. AOTW is Wounds of Recollection - I Found The Love I Was Looking For #metalsky

Well, this is quite fabulous. One-man atmospheric black metal from Brazil. Very much FFO Ethereal Shroud. We love it. autrest.bandcamp.com/album/burnin...

"There’s a case to be made that Nux Vomica is the most ambitious crust record ever made." It's an unsung masterpiece. Great pick/list @bandcamp.com #crustsky daily.bandcamp.com/lists/relaps...

#nowplaying Demersal - Vi kunne ikke blive her for evigt, vel? 🇩🇰 (2025) EPOTY contender, holy shit. Scramz / emoviolence that is in equal parts catchy, heartfelt and pulverising. Instabuy #scramzsky demersalband.bandcamp.com/album/vi-kun...

My favorite album from every year I've been alive It was indeed very fun to think about

Week thing. New Heretoir didn't quite land with me. Otherwise did genre whiplash on a bunch of favorites oldish and new AOTW is Panopticon - The Poppies Bloom For No King #metalsky

Hareesh teases new Iravu full length “which will serve as a bridge between all my musical sensibilities (ambient, technical, brutal and melodic)” Fuck yeah

Week thing obviously dominated by the passing of the legendary Tompa. He recorded lots of great music outside of ATG, but their discog binge is as far as I got this week. Respect to a true hero and legend of our culture /,,/ /,,/ AOTW is At The Gates - Slaughter of the Soul #metalsky

Secured my tix to see @derwegeinerfreiheit.de, Oranssi Pazuzu and Wayfarer at MDF next year. Looking forward to Charm City hangs with @donomite.bsky.social and @derekpetersen.bsky.social. Parenting has kept me out of the game for nearly a year 😭

RIP Tomas Lindberg. A true death metal legend

Week thing. New wax from Panopticon 🇺🇸 and Tardigrada 🇨🇭.Three new ones from Vendetta: Kold, Morild & Frelser 🇩🇰. Sick atmoblack from @corridoreband.bsky.social 🇺🇸. Fantastic screamo from Serrate 🇺🇸 and riff-laden DM from Malformed 🇫🇮 AOTW is Amimia - Eigengrau 🇩🇪 (DSBM / Blackgaze)

Belgian post-metal stalwarts Psychonaut announce new album 'World Maker' due 10/24/2025 on Pelagic Records. New single 'Stargazer' here (preorders are also up) youtu.be/7YFLXiPCE4E?...

#nowspinning Tardigrada - Vom Bruch bis zur Freiheit 🇨🇭(2021) Everyone (rightly) went nuts for last year’s Aara release but this is The Other amazing Swiss BM/atmoblack band. Fans of Eiger should really check this out… Definitely due another from these guys #metalsky

England’s 342 run annihilation of South Africa in Southampton is the largest margin of victory in ODI history. Remarkable for a team coming off the 100 and looking utterly clueless just a week ago www.espncricinfo.com/series/south...

@guerillacricket.bsky.social Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy innit

I did four

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! #3 Frelser - Afgrundsprofeti Ok this is fucking black metal with sullen, mournful vibes, blast beats and moaning wails recalling Ossaert #metalsky frelser.bandcamp.com/album/afgrun...

You know what to do #metalsky

Songs of Hiraeth finally arrived so I once again have The Complete Panopticon This is everything ever released on vinyl (minus the double edition of Scars) #metalsky #recordcollecting

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! #2 Kold - Det Falmede Håb Another Sophomore full length. Post-black metal, vocals recall Deafheaven, musically more in the atmoblack range #metalsky koldbanddk.bandcamp.com/album/det-fa...

@vendettarecords.bsky.social dropped THREE (3) new records from Danish black metal bands today! Morild - Disse Fugle Får Ingen At Se Sophomore full length from the Copenhagen 5-piece. Four tracks of expansive, long form post-black metal #metalsky morild.bandcamp.com/album/disse-...

England are 3 for 11 in ODIs this year… It’s almost as if when you stop playing domestic 50 over cricket your national 50 over team starts to suck

Metal Storm are reporting Inanna 🇨🇱 have disbanded. Tragic news, if true. Void of Unending Depths is one of the best death metal albums of recent memory, while 2012’s Transfigured… is a stone cold classic. I know what I’m spinning today #metalsky

When I moved to the US 11 years ago I brought my fairly sizable DVD collection with me. But no DVD player… Finally got around to sorting that out. Excited to reacquaint myself with some of the many classics on the shelves

#nowspinning Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain 🇺🇸 (2006) Unquestionably one of the most important records on my extreme metal journey. Delighted to finally have it in the collection! Thanks @decibelmagazine.bsky.social for this glorious edition /,,/

This is so f'n good, how was I not aware this came out last year? Alice Simard alternates between rocking post punk and instrumental black metal in a major change of direction from 2023's excellent 'Une interprétation...' turpitude.bandcamp.com/album/n-crom...

KYLE SCHWARBER HAS DONE IT FOUR HOME RUNS IN A GAME

A #metalsky week. New(ish) Ruadh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 (bm), Panopticon 🇺🇸 (americana) and Stygian 🇮🇹 (neocrust). Also some more recent releases from coffret de bijoux and Turpitude, both from prolific & amazing trans Québécoise black metal multi-instrumentalist Alice Simard AOTW is Defacement - Doomed 🇳🇱 (dissodeath)

Another week in metal. Prepping for Panopticon vinyl with some old skool hits. Some Envy and some other skramz loveliness AOTW is Kólga - Kólga 🇺🇸 (2025) Blackgaze / Atmoblack EP feat A. Lunn. Very, very much FFO Panopticon #metalsky bindrunerecordings.bandcamp.com/album/k-lga

Oh no. RIP www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/08/21/f...

New AFSKY album out 10/17 on Eisenwald. Preorders go on line 8/27. This year is shaping up to be truly immense for atmospheric black metal

The Purgatory Aftershow is back with a conversation on the releases that have caught our attention so far in 2025 #metalsky open.spotify.com/episode/5O9M...

New @terzijdehorde.bsky.social out on October 10th. Vinyl / CD preorders are up on Church Road bandcamp terzijdehorde.bandcamp.com/album/our-br...

November 7th will see the release of not one but two new albums from the mighty Waldgeflüster on AOP Records. Amazing. Cannot wait

No vids yet of Envy at Arctangent so here's one from a few years ago that moves me to tears every time youtu.be/EQA8HqHyfT4?...

Guys I’ve realized I’ve been saying ‘wooder’ ironically for so long I no longer know how to pronounce the real word

To 'celebrate' Envy once again playing live and me not seeing it, here's an Envy album ranking 1. The Fallen Crimson 2. Atheist's Cornea 3. All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead 4. A Dead Sinking Story 5. Insomniac Doze 6. From Here To Eternity 7. Eunoia 8. Recitation

#nowplaying Envy - Insomniac Doze 🇯🇵 (2006) They played at ATG yesterday but sadly that is 3400 miles away, per usual. So I commiserate myself. This 4th album completed the transfusion of post-rock into the band’s sound that began on the previous record, and sheds almost all the hardcore elements

The English summer came to a screeching halt on Day 5 at The Oval. There is now no meaningful cricket being played until early September. It is an absolute travesty to waste August in this fashion

Really enjoying the cutaways to de Grom spitting feathers in the dugout right now

#nowspinning Astronoid - Astronoid 🇺🇸 (2019) Following up 2016’s glorious ‘Air’, the Massachusetts quartet went even more dreamy and lovely. Not quite as riffy as the first album but just full of wonderful songs. Queue it up after recent Alcest for a windows-down drive at the beach

#nowspinning Opeth - Ghost Reveries 🇸🇪 (2005) 20 years on, still arguably my favorite album of all time, at the very least oscillating with Blackwater Park as my fave Opeth. Rock n’ roll perfection #metalsky

Finally took the plunge and removed the stupid G-FORCE auto tuner from my Les+. Probably should've paid someone to do it but I had delusions of grandeur and I think I didn't fuck it up too bad

AOTW is Asunojokei - Think of You, largely because it's the only new thing I listened to. Scramz meets J-pop I guess

I also did a black metal thing, as everyone has been doing

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you joy and happiness.

This is atmospheric black metal

What’s your favorite ending in a movie?
