"I meant to post this earlier on its release (since it released Halloween). It's not often I listen to this genre... but oh boy am I glad I did. The frontman, Butcher, from the band sent this my way; a group of horror fanatics from Akron, Ohio whose aesthetic is unrivaled, inspired by horror flicks and grindhouse horror, comes a tasteful embodiment of edge and grime (without coming across as pretentious). It's an album I recommend listening to all at once, and brings me back to Loss (2006)... though, hot take: I like this a whole lot more, especially toward the album's latter half. Sludgy guitarwork, upfront bass, and impassioned vocalization work together to create allegorical images, allowing for absolute immersion. Show these dudes some love, seriously."

"This band is so refreshing to the ears, a blend of beautiful melodic emo, indie/alternative, and post hardcore to make for a pleasant experience. No track limit themselves to a stagnant cadence, yet doesn't feel bloated, remains sincere all the way through. Stay posted on these guys; I'm serious. Was sent this by Sam from the band, who's also a listener of the blog (what a chad)!"

"If you ask me the best Norma Jean album, without any doubts I'll call this one and Redeemer. Despite Bless the Martyr was really good, since O God the Aftermath their music became much more interesting and rich in songwriting terms. This album sounds like Botch tried to play sludge metal, such a perfect mix. It contains songs full of chaos and badass dissonant breakdowns, songs full of almost post hardcore hysteria and meditative sludge/post metal ballads at the same time, embracing incredibly wide emotional specter. By the way, Shaun Luu is one of the best sludge metal songs ever made, sadly it doesn't available on any streaming platforms. Also pretty incredible that fact what they still make great new music through all the years, without any mediocre self-copying (hello, Architects) and major genre changes. I can call really few bands what could do that."

Been in the middle of a move, got to help my friend move his stuff over from PA to NY so I won't be able to post for a few days.

Enjoy this bracket meme TheGreatLine made while I get my music straightened out, been having to message a lot of peeps for the requests on my list.

Feel like this encapsulates our music taste to a T. The use of "Untermensch" is ironic, we're only mocking the former.

"Remember that time when Black Metal artists had emo side projects? I remember, miss that time. Dude from my favorite Depressive Suicidal Black Metal band, Austere, started Grey Waters in 2006 and recorded a couple of demos, which, sadly, have been lost. In 2009 they released this EP Below the Ever Setting Sun. They had plan to release a LP and it was almost done, but for unknown reasons it was canceled. In 2012 band broke up. I used to listen it in 2014 almost every day and now i suddenly remembered about it and it was like a breathe of fresh air. Tearful riffs, suffering clean vocals, walls of delayed guitars - everything is perfect on this record. Such a band we lost..."
