My favorite words in the English language: New Yellow Eyes. yelloweyes.bandcamp.com/album/confus...

I think this is going to be Funeral Mist day. Apologies.

Might the new Sleepwalker/夢遊病者 album just dropped and might it be their best? Yes. vnkv.bandcamp.com/album/30011922

Been a hot minute since an album grabbed me like this lucernehammer.bandcamp.com/album/vermil...

It seems likely, despite the deluge of new music worth everyone's attention, that I might be taking a rare weekend off. But be that as it may, you HAVE to listen to the new release from Lucerne Hammer. You must. Perfect. Soon also via @fiadh.bsky.social lucernehammer.bandcamp.com/album/vermil...

Believe it or not, in most of the Megadeth releases post, say, 2004, I saw glimmers of beauty, sometimes even half albums worth anything, if you could survive the cringe. This first single from the so-called farewell album, however, is dead on arrival. But the bright side is

The value of art "criticism" is up for interpretation. For some its eking out themes or intent, for others tracking artistic shifts. For me it's about making listening concrete. And when, say, interviews go well they then become an appendix to the work of art. machinemusic.net/2019/06/26/m...

Sometimes when I fall upon a good, really good post-metal album I get to thinking that I didn't really stop listening to as much as of the genre as I used to because I outgrew it but because it might be the case that it fucking hurts to feel as much as that.

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...

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)
