🤯 thanks for the mention.

New Lijkschouwer album is out and it's great. Amazing Dutch atmospheric black metal/sludge. Was honored to have them participate in the new compilation, and the new album bangs big time. Check it out. lijkschouwer.bandcamp.com/album/all-wh...

I really liked their 2021 album, perfect death metal, and missed the fact they released another one earlier this year. And: Perfect. Mustafa is one of the best death metal musicians ever, and the performances are just stellar all around. Those drums. darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/murder...

New weekly post in an impossible week of music feat Crippling Alcoholism, Esoctrilihum, Cranial, Dimscûa, @primitiveman.bsky.social, Antiversum, Scare, Hebephrenique, Tenue + INFO ON a bunch of more stuff. Get the new comp! (in replies). machinemusic.net/2025/09/14/s...

Speaking of things to cop, this is a great compilation whose proceeds support an essential cause. Feat. Krallice, Genital Shame, Déhà, NŪR...

First donation to @wck.org. Hopefully more to come. Huge thanks to the artists who gave their time and music and to all y'all who gave your time and your money. machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/album/milim-...

Not one of them fancy "exclusive" compilation tracks but just me (as was the case with @infinitedreamscape.bsky.social and Spectral Lore in this installment) basically asking for my favorite track from one of my favorite artists. Worth it. machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/track/emptin...

I don't know who out there is responsible for this, but I'll have you know I'm weirdly flattered (translation: I'm taking this opportunity to promote the fact that my favorite Jew has released a compilation on Bandcamp to benefit World Central Kitchen)

Esoctrilihum never makes any sense. When he's at his best he just doesn't make any sense. What he's doing some of his best work - the new one is definitely a career highlight - he makes absolutely no sense. i-voidhangerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/ghosti...

Still on my listening-to-my-own-compilations kick. The Inter Arma is probably the highlight of this installment, but the Dreichmere just reminds anyone who still needs reminding that it's one of the greatest prog metal albums of our time. machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/track/dreich...

The newest release form electronic/ambient project Choshech is easily their darkest and most aggressive, combining Skinny Puppy-like soundscapes with black metal-like fervor. Stream it here now ahead of its Friday release: machinemusic.net/2025/09/10/p...

Going through a run of listening to all the compilations as a way of dealing with the anxiety of having the new one out and still think this is probably one of the most underrated projects ever to be included, and one of the most underrated tracks too machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/track/forlor...

Things that will make @donomite.bsky.social happy. New ORM coming.

New weekly post feat. Raein, Cult Member, Kostnatění, Kold, Deafkids + Test, Fleshvessel, Coltaine, Veilburner @transcendingobs.bsky.social, StumpTail and info on The Ruins of Beverast and more. NEW COMPILATION ALBUM BELOW! machinemusic.net/2025/09/06/s...

You know the "avant-garde metal" tag on Bandcamp was the right one for the comp when not only does it show up first but alongside three other bands that have participated in past installments (Sea Mosquito, Papangu, and Victory Over the Sun"

Still a couple more hours of Bandcamp Friday left in this world, so, in case you missed it, we have a new compilation album out benefitting the work of World Central Kitchen. I think it turned out great. You be the judge. machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/album/milim-...

/// MILIM KASHOT VOL. 6 /// The MILIM KASHOT series is back, supporting the essential work by @wck.org, who are on the frontlines in Gaza and elsewhere in order to provide for those in dire need and under impossible conditions. INFO BELOW machinemusic1981.bandcamp.com/album/milim-...

I'm supposed to concentrate on the compilation coming out tonorrow but God dammit so much good music is coming out. Now there's a new Veilburner too. Damn.

Recency bias is real and my mood is low but this past weekend has to be one of the best release weekends of the year. Malevich, Wreck and Reference, Vörnir. Life-altering music by the metric ton. Moving, human, inhuman, and profoundly beautiful music. How fortunate we all are.

All of us praying for a new Skáphe album didn't get what we wanted but we also kinda sorta did vornir.bandcamp.com/album/av-h-d...

New weekly post feat. musical miracles from Hulder, Pogardan, Valdur, Evoken, Porenut, @Drofnosura @transcendingobs.bsky.social, Fiery Serpent, Rhizaria @fiadh.bsky.social, Atavistic Decay + INFO ON MY LIFE and bands and stuff. machinemusic.net/2025/08/23/s...

Have been listening to Ornette Coleman a lot this past week, a natural continuation of my periodic Masada (John Zorn) binge. Haven't really listened to metal at all, and if I did - as I am right now, with Scarcity - it has to stay on that wavelength. I have noticed that there's a certain flavor I've

Did this because saw @donomite.bsky.social do it, and did it way too quickly so probably missing a ton, but who doesn't like metal albums in small squares, right? Did 49. Repeated a few artists twice, sometimes more. I guess I went by is a combination of life-changing and most-listened-to.
