continuing the Blue Oyster Cult retrospective over on Invisible Oranges, we have Cultosaurus Erectus, a perfectly named album. does it hold up? read William Pauper's great piece on it here: www.invisibleoranges.com/second-wind-...

"The heart-on-the-sleeve black metal here is based on the premise that screamo's energy can be reconstituted into tremolo riffs. That the urgency and conviction of hardcore punk can uplift black metal." www.invisibleoranges.com/upcoming-met...

had a buddy who did this with true detective. watched the first season 12 times and half of those time were with spanish subtitles on (he doesn’t speak spanish)

after seeing blackbraid last night im thinking i wrote them off too early. except that 13 minute song…needed another editor to trim that shit

Super excited to share my new Lucerne Hammer album today, Vermilion Pyre! I owe a great deal of thanks to a lot of folks I've met here for their championing of this project. I'm really proud of how these songs came out and I sincerely hope you enjoy them.

worm gotta be one of the top 3 bands of all time

NEW WEEK--AUGUST 17 to 23--NEW MUSIC

new cinephile technique "method watching" when you watch a movie and then act and talk like the main character around your girlfriend for 2 months

wild stretch that OP referred to learning and practicing as “hazing”. sorry that your passion requires effort

who knew the song of the summer dropped in May

To the joy of some and the dismay of others, I'll highlight four black metal albums out this week (august 10-16) to help beat the summer heat.

@1000timesjeff.bsky.social had a better pull quote in his review than any of these, but the masses fear his pen

this woman is 2010s music in corporeal form. only makes sense for her to ascend into the digital ether.

Most of the albums I'm highlighting today are dropping tomorrow or have already dropped today, so you won't have to wait long.

i like panopticon, but too many bands try to sound like Panopticon

renewed my passport just so i can travel to Dungeon Siege in october

chatting with Toby Driver for @treblezine.bsky.social made good on 15-year old Colin’s dream of writing something worthwhile. very cool chat and very cool dude

California’s Nom de Guerre and Alberta’s Warlocks of Morgul have joined forces for a new split, Unspoken Passages in the Archives of Ash. The raw, medieval-themed aggressiveness of Nom de Guerre pairs excellently with Warlock’s fantasy-based atmospheric black metal.

in this month’s column, @pyramidmaster.bsky.social & I covered a LOT of black metal (in july no less) and wrote a bit about Ozzy’s passing consequence.net/2025/07/mini...

Is the song of the summer coming soon? Maybe, it could be in one of the albums coming out this week (July 27 - Aug 2) that you gotta listen to. You may as well check them all out.

Perfect albums from when I was 16:
