tfw not grim and frostbitten enough

I cut my teeth on Leviathan and Xasthur. Stuff like Dark Throne and Burzum came later for me, and by then I'd gotten into stuff like Abigor and Marduk. I didn't even know about unblack until last year or so. When I'm out of my funk enough to practice guitar, I might just give it a crack myself.

Xasthur is a big influence

We were into them, drudkh, blut aus nord etc

Right now I'm big on Satyricon and Anaal Nathrakh, but I put on Xasthur, Wolves in the Throne Room, and similar stuff when I'm writing. I'd say my all-time favorite (black metal) band is probably Deathspell Omega, though.

I like deathspell

I'm more partial to their older stuff though

I need to re-diversify my music. All this black is starting to push out my '90s metalcore.

I need more Zao and Shai Hulud in my life.

Teenage me

Muh demon hunter

etc

I still remember buying Impending Doom's first proper album in high school. Every subsequent album they put out was garbage, but "Nailed. Dead. Risen." is still among my favorite albums.

Probably the only decent deathcore album ever made.

i was in a deathcore band actually

there's one of the songs, drummer did a playthrough

nostalgia kick for me lol

Do I hear a bit of Training for Utopia or (really) early AILD in there? Not bad, if I'm being totally honest. I also have to walk back my previous statement on deathcore. Despised Icon's first two albums are gold, and Job for a Cowboy has been consistently great over the years. Yeah, JFAC only had one album that could be called deathcore, but it was breddy gud.

that was in 2009

feels like ages ago

a good show too

Thoughts on Bon Iver? Been kinda hooked lately, he's a bit of a degen stoner, and maybe has been influenced by some gnostics, but I can't help but feel his searching and slow progress towards the truth of things in his music.
Like this:

I think it's actually a really good meditation on our smallness and insignificance, and the cosmic beauty in that, that our Creator would bestow something so small and insignificant in the face of eternity with the ability to experience

And while I think he's missing the why of it all maybe in his personal life, I always get the impression he's struggling his way there, and he makes some genuinely fascinating music struggling with himself along the way

The music is great

that album is one of my go-to's when I'm feeling a somber chill-out

I actually was a huge fan of 22, A Million as well tbh

Festival I run in the UK. Quite proud of the line up, and the profits are going to a local soup kitchen. Would appreciate a bit of a shill from the LC and /Rel/ gangs in this endeavour as I don't want to have to cancel it this year. 🙏

Why they used 1488 remains a mystery to me.

A swarm crawling through Odessa
Ahead of them is the priest, Messiah:
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

And in Kiev, there's a frowning procession
Black hundred - enforced:
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Listen Van'ka, they drink Christian blood,
How many newborns they've killed
It's all jews, jews - so beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Oh, the shop is closed! - Break the hasp!
How many goods they've accumulated... -
Kol'ka, Petruha, scrape the jews, beat the feathered ones, save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Look, man, look, they're shoving the money...
Look how they're shouting... Scorch me, we - are baptized people!
Beat the jews and save Russia!
There will be here doom for them, beat the jews and save Russia!"

"Archangel Michael leads
Christ-loving people, of course."
The thousand-headed horde is screaming: "Beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

"Hey, place the gonfalon higher, brade it to the sky!
Our Tzar is still sitting on the throne
Into the dogs, into the Hussars, crush the jews, help the Russian crown!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and help the crown!

Bitter drink - People are partying;
Under the fights, in the bar
A soldier gives a tip to the lackey: "Beat the jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and save Russia!

Rushes at full speed, a Donets squadron
Twisted whips are whistling.
1905th roars in the face: "Beat the Jews and save Russia!"
Beat, beat, beat the jews, beat the jews and SAVE RUS-SI-A!
