I was talking to a guy after we played last night, it was his first ever show. Asked what he thought and he said “it’s interesting, I don’t like headbanger music but you guys are alright, I like that I could hear the words” IMO that’s a ringing endorsement for @thewelcoming.bsky.social 😂

Our last show of the year (probably) is tonight!

Charlotte/Gastonia! We’re coming for you this Friday at the Rooster!

It’s #BandcampFriday so here’s a thread with some stuff worth your time and money: Disclaimer: I worked on all of these releases but it’s still true don’t worry about it

I offer pro recordings at rates that even your broke ass can afford! Background music: Song and Memory by @thewelcoming.bsky.social

Been working on the studio website! Added a bunch of nice photos by Vitor Sá, a releases section, an FAQ page, and new audio samples. I'm available for both in studio and remote projects, so get in touch if you want your music to sound really good for not much money! mountainsizeaudio.com

Moments from 7/24 @ Eulogy in Asheville NC Next up: 9/26 Brewstock Pre-party @ The Rooster in Gastonia NC 📸: @heather-nicole-l.bsky.social

We had a blast at Eulogy last night! Thanks so much to Lower Peaks and Ampevene, and to all who made it out! Next up: Brewstock Pre-party on September 26 at The Rooster in Gastonia NC!

@thewelcoming.bsky.social A great time was had! I’ve never gone to listen to metal and come home with fresh vegetables, but thanks to @mountainsize.bsky.social I did last night.

Tonight! Might be our only Asheville show this year. We turned down a gig next month because I don’t wanna be a liar 🙈

We're playing tomorrow at Eulogy!

Context: Spencer owns / has owned these exact guitars, finishes and all (except his LP jr is a Gibby)

Please come out Thursday to help us pay for a life sized cardboard cutout of our bassist

This is the most anyone has trolled my music aside from my grandma 😂 It’s also a WILD description. I mean technically distortion is involved

One week out! We'll be playing an extended set with some new material that's we've been cooking up. Don't miss what may well be our only Asheville show this year! Tickets here (or hit up the Eulogy box office to skip the fees): dice.fm/event/nve2l8...

Wait for it…

Yo dawg, we're gonna play Eulogy at Eulogy so you can Eulogy while you Eulogy! Join us, Lower Peaks, and Ampevene on Thursday 7/24 — we’ll be playing an extended set with songs from our upcoming EP, so don’t miss it! #musicsky #Asheville

How do you choose what goes on the set list? For us it’s a combination of what we want to play and what we’re less likely to fuck up

Happy Father’s Day to & from the band dads

Grandma is always trolling me about my music 😂

Just had the first @thewelcoming.bsky.social rehearsal with vocals in like half a year and I didn’t blow out my voice, so that feels like a good sign.

Stoked to join @brokensound.bsky.social on stage and play the songs we’ve been working on! Also I designed this flyer. On that studio drummer to live drummer to designer pipeline 😂

Almost a month later and he has the full part down. What this tells me is that I can keep writing insane shit and eventually my band mates will be able to learn it 😂

New (old) song from our homies in Richmond! I think it's their best sounding release yet, but I engineered and mixed it so I'm a little biased 😏

Had a full band practice for the first time in half a year. Plenty of rust to shake off plus some new songs in the mix. Went pretty well all things considered!

Top 24 🥰

Lots of people worked really hard to make this song, it’s 100% worth your time

Charting on my favorite German radio station 🥰

@ubertar.bsky.social figured it out 🤓

Got Rendered Useless Remade on an alt hip hop playlist, the Spotify algorithm will now be be even more confused by us open.spotify.com/playlist/6oP...

Who wants to guess what time signature(s) we’re in?

Everyone who has listened to this so far has been blown away 🥰 It’s out on all the streaming platforms too!

What if The Welcoming sounded more like Linkin Park?

Only a few more hours to pick this up on #bandcampfriday! Who wants to become my best friend?

"When I got to the 3:24 mark, I actually gasped. The track, at its stellar apex, just explodes with the raw voicing of a wrenching grief and aching soul plea for rescue and relief. [...] This section to the out alone justifies the whole collab. It’s that good." — @voxandstix.bsky.social

Lovely review of Rendered Useless Remade! "This collab hits on every level. It preserves everything I love about the original and alchemizes it into something somehow even MORE of what it already was." — @voxandstix.bsky.social www.facebook.com/voxandstix/p...

It's #bandcampfriday and our collaboration with @sparralimb.bsky.social and @acklenwalker.bsky.social just dropped! thewelcoming.bandcamp.com/track/render...

New song out everywhere tomorrow! If you’ve ever wondered “how would the welcoming sound if they tuned their guitars really low and featured rap verses,” you’re about to find out

cheating 🙈

@999thez.bsky.social howdy 🤘

Our new song with @sparralimb.bsky.social featuring @acklenwalker.bsky.social drops this Friday!
