🇮🇹BREAKING: Italy Sees Massive General Strike in Solidarity With Gaza Italy is seeing a powerful 24-hr general strike today, Sept. 22, as millions of workers across transport, education, logistics, and other sectors are expected to join protests for Gaza. The strike has... @ryangrim.bsky.social

"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...

ACAB includes clankers.

One of the albums I’ve had on heavy rotation lately. Excellent Hellenic black metal style album, courtesy of Phil Tougas of Chthe'ilist, Worm. Quite technical and heavy on power/thrash riffing, without sacrificing atmosphere. Also, antifascist lyrics productionstso.bandcamp.com/album/la-gra...

Getting back to this site after some time, things have been a little rough; I've been feeling alienated from social media and scenes lately, yet I want to push through. Caring about underground music seems increasingly meaningless during these times, yet it's one of the few things that still matter.

fiadh is me rediscovering hope after trauma, disability & death in my personal life, over a decade of sexual harassment, misogyny & disrespect working in your big “trve cvlt” music industry, burnout in animal rights, embracing my queerness & becoming a mom to 2 little ones with special needs.

People who think "this right thing now is really popular so we should adopt it, so that people at least don't get it from fascists" never achieve anything other than pushing themselves and the Overton window to the right. Politically, that means. For them it works out just well, cause popular.

My insurance has suddenly started refusing to cover my hormones saying that "they're usually for women", so I'm left to pick up the tab. I cannot afford this right now and get my tooth extracted. II need $200. I haven't had my hormones in 2 weeks and I feel like hot garbage. Please help

The West rears its ugly head and does not give a fuck any more. Even the old pretenses of cultural superiority and perseverance of democracy and liberalism are waning. The only hope for a future is to be traitors to our nations and fight for justice globally. Nobody is free until everybody is free.

first song available goes hard

Great read. Keep your autonomy, fight back, escalate. ⚔️ 🏴

In celebration of #nationalanimalrightsday, Fiadh is proud to release From Dreams to Living Things III - From the Plough to the Stars. 100% of proceeds from this compilation will benefit Fawn’s Fortress, an animal sanctuary that believes everyone deserves a fortress to call home.

I've had the passing thought lately that many leftist bands associated with "cascadian bm" weren't political enough. But I remembered tonight that many participated in part of the movement I'm not that familiar with (ecology, animal liberation). Singing about nature/animals IS political for them.

Obviously no trust at all for a military court to provide real justice (they'll just put the blame to a few bad apples) but the evidence is piling up and the Greek state can't hide any more that it did a push back that cost the lives of 650 people www.reuters.com/world/greek-...

Co-founder of Judicator and good friend Alicia Cordisco has been hit with the kind of medical development that requires going on disability pay for about a month, which is not enough to live off of in her current situation. She needs roughly $2k if she gets approved and $3.6k if not.

It's incredible that as the killing intensifies in Gaza, so much the police repression rises in pro-Palestine rallies. Cops were bullying non-stop the demo yesterday in Athens, shoving, pushing, kicking, elbowing people. My body is still hurting from that shit. Fuck the police, stop the genocide. 🇵🇸

Joined an apolitical, though supposedly leftist friendly facebook metal group again, and nothing has changed over the years. Speaking out against NSBM posts or really just mentioning anything critical, brings out concern trolls that tire you to the point where most people never want to speak again.

Ιt's so fascinating to me than in most BC pages of avantgarde, academic artists there are huge explanatory texts and zero comments from buyers, while on metal and dungeon synth there are so many comments from vibrant communities of enthusiastic listeners and musicians supporting each other

any of you ever had this phase where you're finally doing everything in life that you were too scared or thought you couldn't do, but one year after instead of your life being cool, you feel like you're doing everything badly, nothing's working out the way you thought it would,

sad, dark space music fills the holes in my soul

From dark ambient to dungeon synth to Propagandhi-style punk rock (!), Nate Cøllins is so damn talented medicpunk.bandcamp.com/track/red-pi...

The Greek bm scene remains so sketchy to this day, and antifascist metalheads might speak against some famous foreign band, but pretend not to hear when it's about local bands that collaborate with fash. The ones who do care and act are usually anarchist punks, and this says much about scenes

Get this!! Happy that I was able to participate at the last minute with a new mix of a track from IV

aaand this bangs indeed as expected

I'd like to see more self-organization, collaborations, etc in what we might call the antifascist metal underground. Seems to me in the face of things turning shit worldwide that we shouldn't be silent anywhere. And the best metal nowadays will be the metal that will not be ashamed to be political

Greece keeps killing refugees in the sea. 7 more people drowned in April 3 after they reported their boat was destroyed by coastal guard attacking it with harpoons www.instagram.com/p/DIJJ9tlsnfE/

1. When I was 20 after finishing my guitar studies, I was writing my first music in the form of classical guitar studies, something advanced for my inexperience then. I was seeing myself a big-time composer and thought "the very least I'll l become a metal rock-star, it's easy to write good metal"

Funny how putting a melodic chorus with a couple of heavy metal leads can gel things together in a complex, kinda difficult composition with parts that don't repeat a lot or or go back. Sometimes the simplest and most classic solution is the best.

Last night the Jewish holiday of Purim began, where we celebrate and honor the courage it takes to resist state violence and empire. We stand in solidarity with Palestinians who face increased violence on Purim, while already enduring the Israeli government’s genocide and occupation.

Last night, the Israeli military carpet-bombed Gaza, killing at least 404 people, including many children, and injuring over 562 in its renewed attacks in one of the deadliest single-day tolls since the start of the Israeli military's 15-month-long genocide against Palestinians.

Some of the most annoying advice I keep hearing to this day is this "don't put a low album price/no price or people will take it like you're not putting any effort into your music". How about we don't reinforce people's internalized capitalism to take advantage of them

It's funny how after so many years you understand that punks were the true metallers that metalheads were talking about

Truly one of most magical albums I've listened in the last years. There's great mystery in music that sounds simple most of the time yet touches something so special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eN3...
