obviously screeching about trans people's genitals at deafening volume on every public platform available to you is hateful, cruel and dangerous but we must always remember the equally important fact that it is also HUGE loser behavior

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

WISCONSIN WE HAVE TO HOLD THE DAMN LINE.

BESTIAL MOUTHS announced for TERMINUS: MODULATION! Incredible lineup all around, as well! I had the privilege of playing Terminus both as SØLVE and with ∆AIMON and each time was a phenomenal experience!

Uhhhhhh is P. Diddy Jack the Ripper?

This isn't a hot take or anything, but one of the biggest and dumbest reasons that there's like literal potential of a fucking civil war is because so many folks refuse to just say "that's not something I know about, I will defer to what professionals or those with relevant experience have to say."

Imagine advancing AI to the level where it can (mostly) successfully impersonate random social media accounts and sway public opinions - but then just train bots to be dumb as bricks and argue about how climate change isn’t real.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

BESTIAL MOUTHS - US tour dates announced! I’ll be in the studio working on the new album while Lynette and crew are out on the road, but please go see them if they’re in your area!!

The gang And the government No different The gang And the government No different The gang And the government No different

New Dax Riggs album is officially out on Friday, but we got another preview this morning and it is FUCKING GLORIOUS. daxriggs.bandcamp.com/track/sunshi...

In an effort to cultivate a cool community of folks and keep tabs on the various projects I'm involved in, I have kicked off a Discord server today. I don't know if Discord is the solution to the algorithm and ethical blues of FB, but it's gotta be worth a try. Come hang out! discord.gg/RvGq8ewR

NOISENOISENOISE

Such an incredible work of music. Get it if you haven't yet!

I am so tired of "We've heard twenty hours of researched, articulate, passionate testimony from respected experts in their fields, but this white lady who looks like she has the Bible verses that justify marital rape saved in an open tab on her phone cried so now we're taking away your rights."

Spent a lot of time this year working on music, so unfortunately that means I haven't listened much to anything from anyone else. So, let me know what your favorites were this year. Cheers!

Imagine if we lived in the timeline where Musk used his money to make life-size Hot Wheels tracks, domed cities on the ocean floor, or like giant battle-mech competitions instead of just actively trying to ruin everything for everyone.

Just playing around with pedals (an OBNE Dark Star and a Holy island Tides) through my Randall, but I really like this random riff. Dirty & Dirgy is the energy I’m bringing to 2025.

As of this morning, I think I’m officially done with the instrumentation, editing, and sequencing for the entire SØLVE album. I’ll spend the first part of the new year writing and recording lyrics/vocals, but I’m incredibly excited to have reached this goal that I set for 2024.

How long until edgy artists start trying to capture the “hard-to-put-a-finger-on-it-but-definitely-AI“ aesthetic in their paintings?

Remembering the time I released a cover of LORN's ACID RAIN and everyone on youtube thought I mixed it too hot because I chained the entire mix to the kick for that exact effect. Try explaining to these kids that I have a degree in audio engineering so I can make it sound bad if I want to LOL.

Ok so I’m not saying Children of the Corn IV is a good movie, it has lots wrong with it but why is the cast so good? Naomi Watts, Karen Black, William Windon, and Brent Jennings all totally nail their roles. And even the plot avoids basic tropes and the usual failings of the franchise. It’s wild.

Such a good feeling when you finally crack that one stubborn track that has been nothing but problems. Everything finally clicked into place on an album song I've been struggling with for the past week. Now to get deep into the weeds with minutiae mixing and final edits before tracking vocals.

I love that everyone is excited about 28 Years Later because it looks great, but this is just a reminder that there are no zombies in the franchise. Cheers!

Let’s get a thread of Christmas/Holiday horror films going! Here’s a few favorites that come to mind: Black Christmas Gremlins Deadly Games Rare Exports Christmas Bloody Christmas The Lodge Silent Night, Deadly Night What are some of yours?

Watched Oddity and would love to get y’all’s take. The production often felt cheap, but it had a lot of really great setups and some legitimately scary moments. The humor and casting gives the whole film a very stylized vibe that you’ll either love or hate. Personally, I totally dug it. Thoughts?

Incredibly proud to make this collaboration between BLEAK HOUSE productions and Curse Mackey available to you all! Limited Edition and available now for Bandcamp Friday! cursemackeyngp.bandcamp.com/merch/curse-...

Hey friends, today's the last Bandcamp Friday of the year and frankly I don't have much to push (nor the headspace to really promote myself) but if anyone wants one of the awesome SØLVE shirts or anything from my discography, I greatly appreciate the support. slve.bandcamp.com

👊

Regardless of Spotify wrapped or whatever, I’m genuinely thankful for all the support, listens, and love you all have shown over the year. This was a big one with a new single, a new album in the works, a new live set-up with my great friend, @dialmformorgan.bsky.social, and more to come! So thanks!

My bsky account is slowly turning into a horror review page and I’m not mad about it.

So I just finished up Negative Space by B.R. Yeager and it was incredible. Some possible criticisms about it losing all tethers to realism as it reaches for its conclusion, but In general I loved it and fully enjoyed its locomotive inertia and where that inevitably had to take us. 1/

Finally watched Starve Acre. It was highly recommended to me and I see why, very much my thing. Not particularly difficult or upsetting, just a quiet and eerie film about grief handled beautifully. A film that builds a world around its characters and follows their choices to the furthest ends.

Pro tip: this is a really good way to make your ears bleed.

Seeing a lot of new folks on here, so just in case anyone wants to get a feel for my whole thing, this was the “big hit” from my most recent album. The new LP I’m working on pushes the Killing Joke, HEALTH, and Godflesh influences quite a bit more, but I still love playing this one live. Cheers!

Took a break from poorly made horror sequels to watch You Won’t Be Alone and it completely floored me. 10/10 film with incredible writing and performances. Some artsy direction and well hit emotional marks makes it a new favorite. Recommended for those with patience and a love for dry folk horror.

Thought it’d be fun to watch all the Children of the Corn movies, but uh, I was not quite prepared for how many there are or just how quick the returns diminish. Still, can’t back down now.

Love to see it abcnews.go.com/Politics/mat...

Even when my music was more electronic, I did a lot of writing on guitar because it’s what I’m most familiar with (and the 1st instrument I learned back when I was 13). After rediscovering how much I enjoy playing it, I made a decision to incorporate it more into my music - now it’s the main focus.

The people criticizing bsky for being an echo chamber are the folks who think it’s normal to build an entire ideology and set of biases around one social media network. If your worldview is wholesale through online experiences and polarized encounters, that’s not great either, buddy.

I love that my feed is already a blend of antifascist, feminist, pro-sex work, and industrial kids but I need help finding my way to metalsky as well. Bring me all your: EYEHATEGOD Acid Bath Neurosis Head of David GODFLESH FVNERALS Couch Slut etc. All the sludge and doom and post rock clang please!

“Rather be forgotten, than remembered for giving in.”

I want to express here that I’m a very approachable person, regardless of whatever vibe my music may give off - so if anyone ever has questions or thoughts about anything I do, I’m always more than happy to chat! Feel free to hit me up!

In case you missed it, here's my most recent release - BLEAK HEARTS BURN: featuring the first single (BLEAK HEARTS) from the new album, an insanely cool remix by ENDUSER, a groove heavy mix by myself (NOTHING MORE), and a cover of a Sister Machine Gun Song (BURN): slve.bandcamp.com/album/bleak-...

For those curious re: the album development, I originally recorded demo versions of 9 songs, and am currently re-tracking guitar parts and polishing the mixes to match the work I did on the BLEAK HEARTS single. I’ll be revising lyrics for all, but 6 of 9 are now fully completed as instrumentals.

I took a break from the album I was working on to focus on live shows, new collaborations, and a huge influx of BLEAK HOUSE work - but I’m officially back to grinding away. The good news is it still sounds great to me even after not hearing it for awhile. That’s actually a huge accomplishment!

For anyone new, a very quick intro: I produce dark and moody music under the solo project SØLVE, as well as with my amazing partner as ∆AIMON. I've been a constant in BESTIAL MOUTHS since 2016 and run a print shop called BLEAK HOUSE.
