Now listening to Engine of Hell…

I’m riding solo this Christmas, and remembering how weird this holiday is if you’re not with other people. So many people travel, and so many people are doing family things. So I’m listening to old school industrial music, drinking coffee, and (slowly) sewing patches on a jacket…

Holy Hell gold league #AEW tomorrow is gonna be a blast!

Breaking out the hard stuff for xmaseve

I wish this were available on streaming. I have the CD somewhere. But I don’t have anything to play it on…YouTube it is

Down a 90s rabbit hole…

Windsaaaaaaaah! #AEW

see yall there in March! dice.fm/event/g5kxk6...

I just listened to a podcast with Courtney Barnett where she referenced this killer Neil Young album, and my next 40 min is now sorted

This new post punk album kicks serious ass. These are clearly punks, but they are leaning hard into the goth and deathrock vibes…and I’m here for it ironlungrecords.bandcamp.com/album/bad-dr...

A 90s Skinny Puppy shirt that had a band photo framed by a cross, and an early 90s Sick of it All shirt that I had all of the members of the band sign. Both were lost when a storage locker flooded...

Yo, @femiandfoundation.bsky.social, I just saw that you’re playing a show at Metro in Baltimore! That kicks serious ass! I love that venue so much

R: I really like your Whispers shirt… …maybe because it doesn’t have a picture of a corpse on it

I really like this little EP gougeawayfl.bandcamp.com/album/live-a...

I saw a lot of live music in 2025. These were my favorite sets, in roughly chronological order: zeta Coilguns Haunted Plasma Oranssi Pazuzu Throwing Bricks & Ontaard Oriska Lana Del Rabies Swiz, Hexvessel - Folk set Majority Rule Saetia Catharsis Great Falls

Amtrak is literally the worst. I still love it, and I’m still happy that it exists, but the massive delays are always such a bummer

Great Falls just annihilated me. Holy hell they put on a killer show

One of my favorite live show memories from recent years was seeing Thantifaxath play a dead serious cover of *Smells like teen spirit* before they put on their black metal costumes and played a killer brutal set

If you see this, we IMPLORE YOU to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

These are my top-25 albums of 2025

I think that I've settled on my EOY list for 2025. If new stuff comes out over the next couple of weeks that blows me away, I'll put it on my 2026 list. But for now, this will be my top-25. I'll post 5 albums every couple of hours throughout the day in this thread!

Skinny Puppy defined my teenage years. How about you?

I’ve wandered into a wormhole and landed in the early 2000s I think. I just saw God Forbid, and Bleeding Through is up next (I’m here for Darkest Hour’s 30 year anniversary tour )

I am so here for the H8000 revival that we are currently witnessing...

What new metal, punk, core or other stuff are y’all listening to this week? My current list is Celestielle Fleshvessel Hercules & Love Affair Martröð Phantom Corporation Sun of the Suns Void Paradigm

Current Roadburn lineup!

LFG BABES OF WRATH!!!

Damn, this rules. Charles Haywood (This Heat) is still a killer drummer, and the collaboration with MC Dälek yields something I never would have expected. dalek.bandcamp.com/album/haywar...

I’ve been listening back to my top 25 or so albums and I’m surprised to find that 2 or my top-5 will probably be metal albums of some sort

Is there any other good punk, skramz, core, metal, or other this week? I’m checking out: Fane – Armageddon Scars HAYWARDxDÄLEK - S/T Night vigil - S/T Sadness - Shimmer Svntarer – Exitus Triumphalis Unidad Ideológica - Choque Asimétrico

I don’t love Christmas music. But I do love these renditions of Christmas songs in the style of Inuit throat singing piqsiq.bandcamp.com/album/quvias...

Light release week. Here’s my list, what other skramz, core, or metal is good this week? Dead & Dripping – Nefarious Scintillations Flowers of Rust – Crude Exhibitions of the Soul Godeater - Alvorecer Nkisi - Anomaly Index Phobocosm – Gateway Albert Nadeau)/Brother Mudada 7”

Damn! What a way to kick off the Continental Classic!

Desperate deranged talking in my sleep again Eyes twitch retain a sentimental something Looked lorn and we burned and burned I was a cinder body soul in my dreams…

Other stuff will probably show up over the course of the day, and some of you fine people might share some killer metal, skramz, and core releases that I missed. But this is what I’m starting with for this week. What else is good?

If you want the real deal, listen to this certified ass beater www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdTn...

CARVAKAS - Flesh Over Bones (from yesterday's rehearsal) youtu.be/_uQ_XCl3EJA?...

Have you got this yet? Very good US Melodeath! incriminatingsilence.bandcamp.com/album/rite-o...

My current queue for the week. What skramz, core, metal or whatever else did I miss? And what are you excited about this week?

Blood & Guts!!! That is all…

Roadburn is looking really interesting this year

Blast beats are so cool

Sober Danny Brown is more interesting and weirder than he's been in a minute. This rules!

This weeks listening queue. I’ve already listened to Pupil Slicer (Daaaaaamn), Transgressive (HELL YEAH!), and Lana Del Rabies (whoa) and plan to buy all three later today. What are y’all excited about?

A friend picked it up because it was the new band from the guitarist of Hardstance, who was also the vocalist of Inside Out. We were surprised when they didn’t sound like a Youth Crew band…

There's no BCF in November so fuck it EP is live Get some go again fuckers transgressivethrash.bandcamp.com/album/not-li...

Our 3rd album 'Fleshwork' is out now. Pupil Slicer is: Kate Davies - Vocals, Guitar, Keys Luke Booth - Bass, Vocals Josh Andrews - Drums Produced, Recorded & Mixed by: Joe Clayton at No Studio Mastered by: Grant Berry at Fader Mastering Design by Kate Davies

It was also mail day when I got home today! With packages from two of the most kickass labels on earth, @fiadh.bsky.social and @jehu.bsky.social’s Phillip K Discs
