Prog-death power Cryptic Shift push to hyperdrive on chaotic, complex ‘Overspace & Supertime’ Photo by Murry Deaves Having ADHD can be a blessing and a curse. Mostly a curse though. As someone who has it, it often is very hard to stay on one track, as distractions are easy to come by and ca…

I think Lucas just made 3 bad movies with god awful writing and terrible directing. I didn't need him to mimic anything. I just needed movies that felt like humans who have interacted with other humans before made it.

MJF's gimmick should be he has more hair plugs every week.

Sure, but it's not like we don't have Black players who support Trump. That's why I was surprised it wasn't higher.

Out the fucking window with this guy.

Also, by far the least popular sport in the U.S. with no real ground being gained. I'm actually shocked the NFL isn't higher.

Sir, you're like 91 years old. What the fuck would you know about this? Also, interesting from a guy whose party's members keep abusing children. Over and over and over and over and over....

Nah. They may have an woefully inconsistent catalog, but they still rule live. Saw them a few summers ago at the baseball stadium, and they crushed. The Sphere should be awesome.

I rescind what I said about Hughes.

Temple of Void push past death, doom boundary toward spacey energy with jolting ‘The Crawl’ Photo by David Dominic A comfort zone is an easy thing in which to slip. For example, I write the same basic review structure every time out and have done so for the 15 years this site has existed.…

Ugh. *surround

Moisturize. Listen to White Ward. Laugh at fascists. Befriend every dog with whom you come in contact. Watch lucha. And all wrestling. Be as good an ally as Jack Hughes. Know your worth and never abandon it. Eat a burrito. Kick a soccer ball to your dog. Support yourself with good people. Go Sid!

I can't believe people are still on that platform.

Have a drink with me.

@pierogibeast.bsky.social and I have the beers. Other things are discussed.

If you were involved in the score dropping of 'Ozymandias,' I'll give you my address. I'll fight you in my front lawn and embarrass you in front of my neighbors.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Olhava soak in aftermath of loss and grief and what stays behind on ‘Memorial’ Loss is a son of a bitch, especially if we’re talking people or animals in your life that mean the world to you. The aftermath is a journey, and it isn’t exactly linear, nor do the stages of grief …

Necrofier’s cinematic dashes add mystical touches to black metal on transformative ‘Transcend…’ Photo by Brian Sheehan So much black metal operates on a raw, primal level that allowing different colors and, god forbid, showmanship into the mix basically was blasphemous not all that long ago. …

If it came out that the prequels were generated by AI, it would make complete sense. They feel like what AI would produce top to bottom.

Dwellnought warp death, doom, and black metal into weird form with ‘Monolith of Ephemerality’ I talk a lot, maybe too much, about wanting to float through space when I listen to specific records because I wish I could do that without dying. Or at all. Records that get me there always tend t…

Dwellnought, "Monolith of Ephemerality" (Caligari)

Mysterious force Dornenbahn meld fantastical touches with black metal on punchy debut EP A civilization’s history being buried in the ruins as the new overlords try to warp the past. Can you imagine such a thing?! We really need a sarcasm font. Anyway, it’s nothing new…

Dornenbahn, S/T EP @fiadh.bsky.social

We actually are!!!! Though it's after the Chamber show.

Obviously Abdullah

Moisturize. Badly cut your knee. Inexplicably lose your mouse and be unable to find it ever. Have right wing goons find your weekly beer video. Crush ice. Embrace your immigrant neighbors. Your life and community would be lesser without them. Walk your dog. Watch wrestling. Eat a cake. Love friends.

Have beers. Listen to Elder. Crushed ice is better than solid ice.

PICK OF THE WEEK: Unmother aim at grimy, urban-based chaos on sooty ‘State Dependent Memory’ We are being ground to a pulp, surrounded by a world veering so far past humanity and respect for nature, that we are losing grasp of who we are. Industry owns us, and we’re pretty much at a point …

PICK OF THE WEEK: Unmother, "State Dependent Memory" @fiadh.bsky.social

Well, it's totally set up for a series at the end!
