It is our honour and pleasure to welcome John Angel to the fold as our new guitar player! John is an incredible guitarist and singer, a brilliant songwriter, and just a wonderfully kind, thoughtful dude. 📸 @shvdderbvg.bsky.social

Happy 2-year anniversary to “Catgirl in the House of Evil (…and Other Stories)”! This was a very special record for us. Our first split, our first record to feature Colin and April, and in my humble opinion, our most airtight release. Just three songs and they all fucking rip.

RIP Tomas Lindberg. A kind and humble man, one of the vocalists who’s inspired me the most, and the voice of some of my most beloved metal albums of all time, without whose influence the type of music I make wouldn’t even exist. We lost a legend today. Spinning his music in celebration of his life 🖤

my pleasure to announce the FIRE+ASH canadian mini-tour with @lilfiremanic.bsky.social and tons of other friends! If you're in the area you dont wanna miss this!

We’ll be supporting our homies in @ashvestal.bsky.social and @lilfiremanic.bsky.social at La Sotterenea on September 29th, alongside Girl With Armor! This will be a very special performance for us, and we’ve got a big surprise in store for you. Don’t miss it!

I currently have slots available for client work and commissions! Consider me for producing, mixing/mastering, features, music for your game/podcast, or anything else I offer. Small budget friendly 🖤 Help me put my music degree to use and help feed a 🏳️‍⚧️ boi. Info 👉🏽 tvmanoise.com

We love you, Montreal! From our recent performance at the Thrash Can 🎥 @neil2468.bsky.social

Tomorrow, we'll be throwing down with our pals in Pyrocene Death Cult and STAB at this insane live metal/drag/burlesque event! It looks like it's gonna be an incredible night, can't wait to see you there ~

Last night was fucking awesome, thank you to everyone who came out. The kids are alright, and Montreal is the greatest city in the world. Our next show is May 3rd at La Biu. Be there or be there ~

Quickly realizing that I am utterly incapable of writing bad music when I'm writing about a bad bitch that I'm still hung up on

“You and Me at the End of the Fucking World” is our best album overall and has our best songs. Our side of “Catgirl in the House of Evil” is our most watertight release. Just three extremely fun and heavy songs, no filler. “Dark Arms Reach Skyward…” is imperfect, but endearing and oddly timeless.

Cookin

God I love using uncleared samples (For legality reasons, this is a joke)

It feels strange to say it, but my biggest inspiration for this new batch of tunes I’m writing is my own music. Reflecting on what I’ve done, what I know I do well, and how I can do it better. I’ll always continue to experiment, but these songs aren’t “experimental”; they’re deeply intentional.

When our shit gets a bad review, I don't give a fuck. When our shit gets a bad review from a Russian dude, I laugh

When I do a mic check, I don’t say “check.” I say, “every second Friday, at 5:23 PM, I shit myself. It’s becoming a problem. There are a number of respectable establishments in which I am no longer welcome. Everyone I love eventually leaves me.”

I really wanted to invent vaporcore, but Fromjoy beat me to it. I’m gonna settle for inventing vaporgrind.

RIP Thotcrime. Today is for you. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIS9...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to our trans siblings. Everything we do is for you. These are dark times for us. But we no longer have the luxury of dwelling in the decadence of self-destructive despair and frivolous escapism. Find your strength. You must live. At any cost, you must live. Be well.

Cryptopsy’s The Unspoken King is one of the greatest “deathcore” albums ever made and I’m 100% serious about that

Only Dust Remains out now! backxwash.bandcamp.com/album/only-d...

Inhale vocals are lit. Defend inhales.

‘CAUSE ALL I SEE ARE FRAUDS, NONCES, AND TORTURERS RUNNING THEIR PUTRID MOUTHS IT’S GONNA BE A NOT-SO-HOT GIRL SUMMER IN THE NOT-SO-GENTLE SOUTH www.youtube.com/watch?v=vise...

Happy fifth birthday to one of the greatest metal albums ever made. In my mind, this strikes the perfect balance between tempestuous chaos and dark, serene majesty, between haunting dissonance and triumphant melody. Just an absolute fucking powerhouse of an album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8l-...

The list of genres on any interesting release on RYM is a jumbled mush of unintelligible keyword sludge that does nothing to prepare you for what you are about to hear. I propose the addition of a new genre: “Fucking Banger.” This will let you know unambiguously when something is a Fucking Banger

I push my fingers into my ass It’s the only thing that ever makes me cum And I wanna show my balls to everyone Jesus it never ends, I put my dick inside If she keep suckin I’M NOT GONNA MAKE IT

As an artist, I no longer have any patience for people who misconstrue my intent or receive my work in bad faith. “They tried to do X and failed at it!” You know nothing about what I’m trying to do. You don’t get it, it’s not for you - fine. But don’t insult me. I know exactly what I’m doing.

Glen Benton might have been one of the first metal vocalists to layer high screams and low growls, but I will be the last (I will kill everyone else who does it)

Once heard Kyle from Vitriol say (something like) “when you create an album, you create the world you will live in until you create your next,” and I think about that almost every day. It’s absolutely influenced my approach to writing music as of late. A deeply wise man.

Just a reminder that this Anna Pest song exists, and since attacks are happening again, you can find links to donate on our Bandcamp. The song is free to download. Free Palestine. annapest.bandcamp.com/track/god-wi...

“Progressive Deathcore” my ass. We are a Regressive Metal band

Type of shit I’ve been writing lately: Song 1: I love you and miss you very much and hope you’re well <3 Song 2: I am literally going to kill this guy and eat him

Compiled a list of absurdly silly and grotesque song title ideas, and I'm thinking I need to subvert expectations by writing some deeply esoteric and thoughtful lyrics for them. 1/2

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT! For our first gig of the year, we'll be headlining at Café L'Exode (located in Cégep du Vieux Montréal) on April 18th, with support from Rivière-du-Loup prog-death titans Chaotic Symbios and local hardcore legends Eden Will Burn! Ten bucks, cash only, all ages, doors at 6, LFG!

I’m fond of a lot of the lyrics I wrote for our last couple of releases, but I think I’ve taken a quantum leap recently. This new material I’m working on is some of the best writing I’ve ever done, by a significant margin.

The mad lads in @voidchaserofficial.bsky.social just put out an awesome little EP a couple days ago, and you should absolutely check it out. Especially love the second track's instrumental interlude and the incredible chorus on the last track. Dig it! voidchaser.bandcamp.com/album/trust-...

Revisiting Veil of Maya's "The Common Man's Collapse" and "[id]" on this fine afternoon. Two of the greatest fucking albums in this entire godforsaken genre of music, man. Incredible guitar playing, killer dynamic songwriting, legendary breakdowns, vocals on point. They were the best to ever do it.

Can confirm; it's the best track so far on this specific release. I have a few new favourites on top of this, but this is just to say... buckle up, because you're not ready for what's to come next year.

Might have just finished the best song I've ever written. Too bad no one's going to hear it for a year or so.

Shouts out to @fleshvesseldm.bsky.social for their killer new song, which features our very own @colindrums.bsky.social as their new drummer! Throw it on and turn it up ~ fleshvesseldm.bandcamp.com/track/cessat...

@colindrums.bsky.social just tried to acapella a blast beat. He sounded like Donald Duck having a seizure

Might fuck around and write an album in 2 months

Our drummer @colindrums.bsky.social just uploaded an insane playthrough of our track "I Hope He Lays Pipe Like an Electrician!" You can watch the whole thing right here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=twb1...

Feeler post - any visual artists on here who specialize in futuristic/cyberpunk cityscapes and DON’T use AI in their process? Was looking around on Fiverr and it’s turned into an absolute cesspool of slop

Nyreen rules, hit them up if you ever need a concert photographer in Montreal ~

Responding to absolutely any comments/feedback on my music (positive or negative) with “I didn’t fucking ask you, did I?”

Tired of this wave of deathcore. Riffless maximalistic sludge with Marvel movie ass orchestral arrangements. Make deathcore shitty again.

Anna Pest turns 10 years old this fall. Crazy

Pointing at myself in the mirror saying “hahaha, you like deathcore, hahaha” and then crying and shitting my pants and cutting my dick off
