If the US enshrined my rights as a trans person tomorrow and marginalization I face disappeared, Id still be out here saying burn it to the ground No one is free until everyone is free If a single person has to die for my petty American life, then the system that provides it must die instead

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

No country should be allowed to own nukes, and the biggest problem are the countries that own the most. If you live in a country that does, you should understand your country is dangerous and a possible contributor to the world's demise. Join or start a campaign for total nuclear disarmament.

The Israeli and US attack on Iran is morally repugnant. It is calculated only to benefit an elite of racist, Islamophobic warmongers. It will not benefit Iranians or ordinary people anywhere on earth. We must build the grassroots capacity to interrupt the war machine or things will only get darker.

All nation-states are degrees of bad, the majority of countries are run by right wing to fascist capitalists, in this world of bullies the worst bully is the most powerful bully. And that's the USA.

"Years ago, we tore up a nuclear peace deal w/Iran. Months ago, we bombed Iran & "obliterated" their nuke capabilities. And now, we might just have to go to war with Iran bc of their nuke capabilities." -the ppl who tore up the nuclear peace deal w/Iran

"Any military or imperial intervention can only weaken the struggle from below and strengthen the Islamic Republic’s hand to carry out repression." There are genuine grassroots movements resisting the Iranian government. They do not want Donald Trump to attack Iran. Listen to their voices.

Another piece that sounds better every time I return to it. Music that never fails to fill me with hope and wonder. Crazy to think that so many excellent modern classical composers like Judd Greenstein are almost completely unknown except in their specific niche www.youtube.com/watch?v=bV3O...

It should be a given that everyone having autonomy/independence and some free time should participate at solidarity structures imho. People think of it as something demanding, but one afternoon after work and a few hours from your weekend is enough. It becomes a way of life - you will give AND take.

Great band, great people, totally recommended!

One of my fave ds releases of the last years, percussion-heavy, proggy, perfect meeting point between fantasy synth and "gamey" music. Someone hire @sylfvr.art for a game soundtrack sylfvr.bandcamp.com/album/invert...

To understand how bad things are evolving in Greece, almost all articles by leftist media speaking about the recent murder of 15 refugees near Chios by coastal guards are drowned by laugh reactions, racist hate comments and "congrats to the police". I've never seen this to such a degree ever.

15 more refugees killed by the Greek coastal guard near Chios. Be 100% sure that what they'll say about it will be total lies like in Pylos (they already say the boat "attacked them") and a cover-up will happen. Murderers and nazis.

I'm not often awe-struck by music anymore; I've only been returning to "Throughline" once or twice per year since I first listened to it, but my admiration for it each time increased manyfold. Truly special music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pT5J...

Just did a Patreon page for my music projects. Definitely feels a lot weird, I'm not going to lie, as I've never done anything like that before. But I guess it'll give me a good push to open up and share more about my music, process and thoughts generally. www.patreon.com/c/SpectralLo...

Watching this fantastic documentary about the Rojava revolution tonight from a Greek journalist who shot it while fighting on the front-line for one and half year and came back after the war ended to shoot the rest of it. Must watch material. www.youtube.com/watch?v=haMG...

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

One standard politic of scene projects that try to include most artists from a region or country is that they usually have the most basic "no nazis" policy, but they also keep their distances from more political/antifascist artists. Be wary of any project that claims to represent a whole locality

The UK has declined a new Elbit Systems contract, leading Palestine Action prisoners to end the hunger strike that had three of them on the brink of death. The Tesco worker suspended for refusing to handle Israeli goods has been reinstated and will no longer have to handle them. We can and will win

Introducing Reign of Regicide, an antifascist music promo channel specializing in dungeon synth (in all forms), ambient, noise, and similar genres. In essence, I wanted more space to be taken up by antifascist music so I'm wedging my way in to do exactly that. Check out the debut video:

woke up checking my emails today to see that Sodom recommended Auriferous Flame on their bandcamp page about a month ago (!!) That's pretty cool, I'm going to say

People saying "imagine blocking a police car and expecting not to be shot" clearly want people to be killed for an act of civil disobedience of THIS kind. They are the fuel for the fascist machine. Acts like these are revolutionary beginnings and we all know it; opinions are positions on the matter.

‪ Greek post office just absolutely fucked independent musicians. It changed codes for every product sent through post, and now it costs 21 euros inside Europe and 30 outside to send even the smallest thing like one tape or cd. That's for the crazy postage you'll be seeing in my BC from now and on

Content warning. This video shows clearly that the 37-year-old woman that ICE agents murdered in Minneapolis today was not posing a threat to them. Even the mayor of Minneapolis says "To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis." We must force ICE out of every city. They are kidnappers and murderers.

I'm going to post some albums from the previous year eventually, but here's something that was just released. Himmeslrandt is the continuation of Nachtreich. Classical/viola based soundscapes with an ambient touch. If you appreciate Arvo Pärt, check it out himmelsrandt.bandcamp.com/track/herai-...

Never forget that colonialism never stopped, it just stopped being so direct. It's why the Global South is still drowning in debt after decades of exploitation. We benefit from it as westerners and that's why we still buy its arguments and justifications for its thefts.

Finally released the second part of IV a little before the change of the year, as usual by now. It's still a work in progress, yes, but I'm very happy that I've reached this point. Thanks to everyone for the support. spectrallore.bandcamp.com/album/iv-par...

it's that time again fire-toolz.bandcamp.com/album/you-ce...

I'm seeing some cases where assigning a no fash description seems like you're done with politics, and it's enough apparently because nobody you work with claims to be a fascist. Some sketch and crypto-fash plp are ok to work with "no fash" because they legitimize them. Don't give them the chance.

Labels of the Year 2025 Black Metal still is a mine field. It's hard to avoid nationalistic, fascist, racist (including antisemitic), sexist, transphobe, pro colonial and imperialistic, ableist or just plain assholes. That's why labels are much appreciated if they care. This thread is a THANK YOU!

I talked yesterday in an event about antifascism and metal in Athens. Very conflicting feelings. Few people showed up. A part of the discussion was good. Another wasn't. When there are some past failings, here's some resentment and a feeling of futility in antifascists trying to do stuff in metal.

Anti-ICE poster spotted in Portland, Oregon

And here's the second Night Vigil album. This time it's a dungeon synth album (with a few guitars). It was really cool to do DS again and got me excited again to work on some non-metal stuff. Both albums will be released by @fiadh.bsky.social on tape soon. nightvigil.bandcamp.com/album/at-the...

Really excited to unveil a project I've been having on my mind for some time. Its main focus is narrative, weaving a fantasy story that connects all recordings, combining metal with dungeon synth and game music. I'll be showing two albums today, this is one nightvigil.bandcamp.com/album/night-...

Antifa street art seen in Istanbul, Turkey

1) I've spent a few years trying to make it in the music industry. What I learned isn't new. You can try to do it by your own rules, but it's hard. Indy or not, you need to constantly promote yourself and create a cool image. If you don't like doing any of these two, it's VERY hard.

It's funny that a lot of explanations about some of the greatest awe inducing musical moments in terms of composition are like "well, I put my hands randomly on the piano" "it was lying about and I used it" "I just put one song into another song". Always do stupid random stuff, it pays off

d' Eon is soo good, I don't remember ever seeing people who listen to the fantasy synth side of DS mentioning him and I feel like there is an obvious overlap. Also Fire-Toolz masters his stuff and Fire-Toolz rules musicforkeyboards.bandcamp.com/album/leviat...

Released this ep a few weeks ago, three tracks of raw/atmospheric/epic black metal, kind of a throwback to the first album rather than continuing on the black/thrash direction of the next two. auriferousflame.bandcamp.com/album/the-duel

Αddentum to the previous posts; not surprisingly, a "conversation starter" in extreme metal about fascism and complicity consists of the dominant, so called apolitical (right-wing) part of the scene coming together and bullying whoever is speaking out. We should keep talking to actually make it that

1) Ripped to Shreds cancelling a show with Master and calling them out because they played at Metal Threat is exactly the thing that's almost never done in the metal scene and makes a HUGE difference when it happens. It's a conversation starter about complicity in metal and most plp don't want it.

All that needs to be said about "Metal Threat festival". Your old regular nazi metal bands like Arghoslent, Grand Belial's Key and Graveland being brought in and playing together with well known "apolitical" metal bands. Fuck this shit, fuck complicity with nazism in the metal scene.

"More than 1,600 people have been arrested in connection with Palestine Action since the ban in early July". Let that sink in.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Something I realized after hitting my head on walls with my music lately. The goal of underground metal can't be to sound as good/pro as mainstream, just to prove you can do it without budget. Nobody's listening for that reason anyway. It's to hear something interesting and different and unique

Never stop speaking out about Palestine. Congrats to @forestsummoner.bsky.social and all the groups participating for another comp forestsummoner.bandcamp.com/album/free-p...
