Catatonic Bliss by Phantom Hymn on Apple Music Album · 2020 · 5 Songs

Periodic reminder as I’m (yet again) listening to it: if you don’t know Phantom Hymn, you need to fix that.

Radical Finitude is still my fave from them

Just absurd how much amazing stuff across so many projects.

Anopheli is connected to Alex CF (Fall of Efrafa, Morrow, Archivist, etc etc)

Oh gosh not even reading my posts correctly. Also seems like other groups use that phrase and it’s a new band, not the older one I was thinking about (Anopheli). Hemiptera is also cello crust.

And I also used the wrong they’re, love that for me, too! But yeah, I think it’s safe to say it’s not the largest sub sub sub genre!

Their previous stuff is really good!

Listening to some really good black metal from Lunar Amulet (Fall of Rauros / Rhûn), from Dec 5 2025, and worth trying the free codes listed as one of them just worked for me.

They’re all really good and this is the goodest

Yeah, I hate how it’s formatted like I’m adding it to a tiktok video or whatnot. Soooo big. We’re suffering here in our little sphere of supporting bands on text-based social media!

When I Die, Will I Get Better? by Svalbard on Apple Music Album · 2020 · 8 Songs

Listening to Svalbard and sad that they, too, will no longer be. But just absolutely incredible stuff.

Yeah, it ended up as my fave release from January!

Only Constant by GEL on Apple Music Album · 2023 · 10 Songs

Needed more energy this morning, so moving over to the hardcore side of things.

Antheraea by Oculi Melancholiarum on Apple Music Album · 2026 · 7 Songs

Going for that lovely sad black metal vibe this morning: from Mexico, released last month, Oculi Melancholiarum.

So many opinion writers use their columns to respond to each other, which is a great way to encode ideology: it reinforces how the debate is framed while offering disagreement within those boundaries.

@jamellebouie.net’s work is so refreshing bc he engages history to helps us reframe the debate

Deep Sage by Gouge Away on Apple Music Album · 2024 · 11 Songs

Didn’t hit for me in 2024 but loving this a bunch tonight.

What do we want?

A slightly more restrained fascism!

When do we want it?

Whenever our consultants say it’s best!

That meme gives me life every time I see it though

It is so well done. I don’t normally watch videos of shows but I watched the video of that—also quite amazing.

Missed this and so glad you shared it! Thanks!!!

Don’t feel like reposting so that is how last month is spelled for now on sorry

Replay Top Albums January 2026 1 Ellende Zerfall 2 Downfall Of Gaia Silhouettes of Disgust 3 Brutus Live in Brussels 4 Juodvarnis Tékmés 5 Gavran The One Who Propels 6 Enshine Elevation 7 Gaerea Unsettling Whispers 8 Tragedy Vengeance 9 Gaerea Limbo 10 Downfall Of Gaia Ethic of Radical Finitude

Januanry’s ten albums I spent the most time with. A good time was had for sure.

HATH!

Yeah, it’s been a few days for everyone. Maybe there will be a bsky update that fixes it or something? I just shared an Apple Music link and those previews are so freaking huge

They Fear Us by Ithaca on Apple Music Album · 2022 · 9 Songs

Starting with this absolute banger of an album

I remember album covers better than band names for stuff I’ve only engaged a little. This whole no preview of bandcamp links thing is killing me.

They call it “grim post-hardcore” and it’s so good. Their previous LP is worth a listen, too, if Maridia is not familiar to you.

Y’all have an album of the month for January yet?

For me: Gavran has eclipsed Ellende for the aotm. EP is Skives, bc goddamn is that one fierce.

I like this rough version of black metal pop/skate punk much more

But it works for you it seems!
