Hello, friends! Halloween is upon us, the year is wrapping up, but we’re still hard at work. We have a lot to share with you so let’s get into it!

Quote post from X by "OscarAI": Never do this: Passing off someone else’s work as your own. This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I’m pretty sure that person knows it. To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post. Not cool 👎 Quoted post: Prashant @Prashant_1722 Oct 15 Grok Imagine trick: Add "day to night transition" to your prompt. In shots like this, you’ll see a beautiful, harmonious effect as the day turns int... (AI slop animation video)

LAMMOTH & GONEMAGE - Aetherfrost Caverns EP 💠

4 Track Split EP from TX/NC, U.S Black Metal projects💠

Aetherfrost Caverns the much anticipated split by Lammoth and @gonemage.bsky.social is OUT NOW. From hobbits ensnared by a barrow wight, to comatose beings held within a wizard’s frozen fortress, Aetherfrost Caverns explores two distinct yet complimentary takes on symphonic black metal.

Snippet from a Bandcamp page. Text reads “it’s a multimedIA exploration of ancient and modern demons. A work that not only sounds intense, but also looks and feels otherworldly. An audio-visual invocation of chaos, folklore, and the dark mirror of technology. By integrating AI into music composition and video design, the project achieves a surreal, dreamlike vibe that stimulates the imagination and heightens the sense of mystery.”

Looks like you both agree…sort of

No worries - seeing the news back when it broke made me absolutely sick as a big supporter of both Dungeon & Lord.

Just FYI, NSW has laws about identifying underage victims of sexual assault so it’s not like the remaining band members could come out and say ‘Tim did this heinous shit’ - identifying him in connection with the crime is identifying the victim. You’ll note the Mercury’s reporting never uses his name

You really have to check out this Waxwolf album. Incredible instrumental progressive death metal with jazz, chiptune (yes), and fusion elements. Featuring Grossman and Klausenitzer

Hell yeah, suited the part really well and was another nice way to mix things up a bit

Huge thanks to Stealth Archer for providing the interlude of the album. Crucial “rest point” to gather your thoughts and dreams.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Love a beating the diagnosis story - hope she beats it even longer

"They're trying to convince people they can't do the things they've been doing easily for years - to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies - to write that for you." We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, "that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won't know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can't do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won't have to process grief, because you'll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it's going to destroy humans, long before there's a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people." - author and filmmaker Justine Bateman from a piece by Emine Saner for the Guardian

Also looking to clear remaining CDs as space is limited with upcoming releases building up in my room. Mossbane Lantern for $8 + shipping on Sallow Moth bandcamp.

If you haven’t heard it, it’s a mix of prog/tech death, brutal death, ambient breaks and post-hardcore elements

I’ve got a variety of music grouped into a Bandcamp page tied to my projects, mostly metal of many different kinds. Lot of it is name your price. Take a browse. Thanks.

Newest release (on this page) is the latest Sallow Moth album on I, Voidhanger Records.
