Melpomene

listening to rough demos of LPII this morning, making me feel like I could break stone with my bare hands

yes, of course! 💞 I wasn't sure how much people were going to engage with what essentially amounts to attached Poetry, but a surprising number of people have really dug into it!

ah, I've never been a big Townsend listener but I'll check the song out!

shout-out @irati.af thanks for reading the written material!

really cool that there's people all over the country and globe listening to my gay little Minnesotan ass riffin.

more extreme metal and doom on the new album, but also more jazz fusion. you win some, you lose some

Prefect by Mizmor/Thou is like just a perfect fucking song

I was really into Yob, Dream Unending, and the Mizmor/Thou collab album when writing, and I think that reverb-y, melancholic deathdoom atmosphere definitely came through. you're on to something I think

imo, the only outright doom song is Transcend Form. we broadly label ourselves as Post-Death or Post-Metal. my fav description from a review is "like if Colin Marston joined Russian Circles"

so glad you like the album! definitely a gutpunch way to start your day haha 🖤🗡️

How about some dissonant DeathDoom in the morning?
This is one of those albums that came out of nowhere for me but one that I like to return to once in a while. Absolutely one of my highlights this year, by @melpomene-band.bsky.social.

Photo of two large pigs, one brown and one black and white, snuggled together in a large pile of hay.

Gladys and Olivia snoozing in the fall sun today. They came from a home where they were not given bedding to stay warm and now they enjoy snuggling in the deep hay together!

I hate writing guitar solos a surprising amount for an instrumental band

this won't come out for a long time, but here's a little peek at something we're working on

I Am A Fountain Of Blood now has a reggaeton section in it so y'all should be doing party drugs and making out during that song idk

upcoming gigs in twin cities this month

🖤♥️ @melpomene-band.bsky.social repress incoming

We should bring back the idea of improving things

for sure. i mean Facebook was doing insane misinformation shit for the right already; stuff like sora is only gonna make that skyrocket. a matter of time before they try to like, indict a protester with a fake video of them committing a crime.

mmmm, that's a delicacy in some countries; so I like to save that part for last

girl, peeling your skin off is so rejuvenating, trust me. it'll leave you dewy and glowing. your skincare routine will be changed forever, I promise

how's opening my phone to finding out like every single federal website is violating the hatch act today doing?

Toilet Radio 584 – The Keep The October Spooktacular is upon us yet again. Each week this October we’ll watch a different horror movie and talk about everything that makes it worthwhile. This week we’re watching M…

The October Spooktacular is here once again. Join us as we talk about Michael Mann's 1983 movie The Keep, featuring Ian McKellen, Jurgen Prochnow, Gabriel Byrne, a sick Tangerine Dream soundtrack, amazing special effects, a difficult production, and a confusing, chopped up story.
