One thing I've noticed is that it seems like the best visual designers around seem to work specifically on band tour/concert posters. I wonder if it's a case of something like there being less oversight and more artistic freedom? Or just a matter of art quantity?

Happy 25th anniversary to Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven! One of the trailblazers of modern post-rock and one that very few have ever outdone. youtu.be/5eF6hNLp8IQ

Managed to find enough time between everything to make another 10 Piranesi. pieces. This batch is quite an extreme one, featuring the darkest, silliest, most intense and even sentimental pieces in the entire catalogue so far. www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com

Preorders for ”Tennis, Everyone?” vinyl and cassette are now up. As always, both are fairly small batches, so if you want one, you should grab one sooner than later! shatterfoilindustries.bandcamp.com/album/tennis...

Really enjoyed Caput Mortum. Short, punchy Amnesia/Penumbra style horror puzzler. Neat alchemy-based plot and novel mechanics that don't overstay their welcome. The "pre-standardization" style control scheme took a bit of getting used to, meaning it works as intended.

This felt appropriate

I haven't yet listened to Geese, but considering they just dropped one of the greatest album covers of all time, I feel I ought to.

Fish in my pond

My standalone breakcore/drill and bass album, "Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O. Incandenza, is coming out on both vinyl and cassette! Pre-orders start next friday. This will be the only pressing of the vinyl, so if you want one, make sure to grab one.

Can't stop thinking about this fucked up groove

Had a lot of fun with Ramon & Jessica's Roses Are Blue. Group a capella in the style of minimalist classical but with such a saccharine sense of childlike glee that it's hard to not get swept up in it (if you don't find it really annoying). youtu.be/b_9SYJpKHz8

Personal ranking of movies that are just people in a room talking: 1. 12 Angry Men (1957) 2. The Man From Earth (2007) 3. The Sunset Limited (2011) 4. My Dinner With Andre (1981) 5. Conspiracy (2001) 6. The Exterminating Angel (1962) 7. Yannick (2023) (I liked all of them)

Absolutely buckwild that the Coen brothers just Had It from the start. While watching their debut, Blood Simple, I was kept on the edge of my seat thinking ”damn, they picked an amazing screenplay” only to get to credits and find out they also wrote it. Incredible thriller!

Watched Tragedy of Man (2011), absolute monolith of an animated film. Adam, Eve and Lucifer wax philosophical about the nature of man with each time period animated in an appropriate style, produced over the course of 23 years. Exhausting, sometimes sublime, always impressive.

Played through Returnal on a whim and had a very good time. I don't really like rogueli(k/t)es, but this kept me engaged thanks to a very intriguing story and good combat (also since I played KB&M, I only died twice at the very start, so the permadeath didn't really affect me)

With the exceptions of Rats Nest, San Francisco '16, & Chunky Shrapnel, the ENTIRE King Gizzard discography is currently available for free/name your price on Bandcamp. Unsure if this is an intentional move, but I'm sure we'll hear from the band soon. kinggizzard.bandcamp.com #KingGizzard #kglw

After a short "Tennis, Everyone?" break, Piranesi. has returned and is now halfway up to a hundred. www.youtube.com/@piranesi.pr... piranesiproject.bandcamp.com

Sometimes all you want is some pummeling drums and thick riffs with 0 subtlety or nuance, and Hexekration Rites' debut album delivers exactly that youtu.be/SO151iR5j6o

As heard on the previous teaser, here is the WIP preview version of the 8-2 song, "No Devil Lived On". Compositionally complete, but not yet recorded. #screenshotsaturday youtu.be/ep2dV_UmMP4

Big ups to Cave Sermon's Fragile Wings, my favorite riffs of the year so far are undoubtedly all from this album, placed alongside some unexpectedly touching melodic sections. Didn't expect his songwriting to improve so much in just a year. youtu.be/O90ySka6sWA

One of life's great pleasures is being able to watch Harakiri (1962) blind, and another of life's great pleasures is being able to rewatch Harakiri (1962) with someone who's going in blind. The way that story gradually unravels is so masterfully woven.

"Tennis, Everyone?" is now going up on streaming services. Since music can't be unmonetized on these platforms, I've had to replace the movie samples with ones from public domain films. I consider these versions inferior, but it's either that or nothing on streaming.

repost from my tumblr :) happy birthday hakita

happi birthday @hakita.bsky.social !!! drew you as a weird creature. keep doing what you're doing❤️

Happy birthday @hakita.bsky.social !!!! Love your art and I am forever grateful for it, keep kicking ass!

Hi happy @hakita.bsky.social birthday :) Thank you for the work you do and the art you share

Been thinking about Thantifaxath's Solar Witch lately... Who even uses tempo like this? It's so cool.

I made the album art for @hakita.bsky.social 's new album "Tennis, Everyone?"

Out now on Bandcamp (for free!) and Youtube BC: heavenpierceher.bandcamp.com/album/tennis... YT: youtu.be/nZoteImDLXM

New standalone album coming out this Friday on Bandcamp and Youtube (streaming later), titled: "Tennis, Everyone?" — A Tribute to the Late, Great James O. Incandenza Breakcore, drill and bass, and a bunch of other subgenres of intense electronic music. 9 tracks, 36 minutes.

Surviving the heat

I'm a late adopter but I figured I should pitch in too

I keep forgetting this song exists and then randomly getting flashbanged by how awesome this groove is

Watched The Fall (2006) and man, this is what an expensive movie is actually supposed to look like. Absolute feast for the eyes, so creative and full of shameless expression.

Pre-orders are up now: retracrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/satans...

Satan's Tango is getting released on vinyl! Pre-orders will be going up this Friday.

Exodus 4:24-26 After God gives Moses the mission to save his people from Egypt and Moses starts making his way there, God then reappears to try to kill Moses, but his wife cuts off their son's foreskin and then touches his "feet" with it and so God leaves. yeah sure ok why not

I wanted to feel worse last night so I finally watched Vortex by Gaspar Noé, which was so much more difficult to endure than the actual horror movie I watched beforehand. Dementia in a dysfunctional family filmed from 2 simultaneous perspectives. Very good, extremely heavy.

Make a claustrophobic friend watch Haze (2005, dir. Shinya Tsukamoto), they’ll hate you forever but it will be funny

Shoutouts to the Old Testament for having 0 chill (Genesis 38:6-10)

Forgot to post this here... Commission for @hakita.bsky.social based on Bull of Heaven 019

One of the hardest character designs of all time (from Electric Dragon 80000V)

If you're feeling down and need something to lift your spirits, I can recommend "Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald", a very sincere, feel-good comedy with some appreciated nuance. Handily, the whole thing's on Youtube (for now). youtu.be/NWDNHbmgGn0

That drill will do what now?

Made for @hakita.bsky.social, it was a fun challenge ! This drawing is inspired by Bull of Heaven - 013 - "Elsa, Are You In There?"

That's right, we're giving away a Nintendo Switch 2 plus limited edition physical copies of both DUSK and FAITH for you to play on it 😮 RT + Follow + Enter to win NOW: gleam.io/2ntkS/the-ne... If nobody else got you, you know New Blood got you 🩸

Loving Bruit's new album, The Age of Ephemerality. Their debut was very polished but felt a bit by-the-numbers in some ways, but this one takes that sound and pushes it much further, making for a very cinematic and powerful post-rock experience. youtu.be/8bFlXzPDF7M
