A new find for this week's #ThursDeath, another band I found via a flyer of a band I dig (I forget who) since both bands are playing together soon.
Chicago's VOIMATON play a great, chuggy mix of death doom that is infectious. It's tough to make a full length death metal album and make the whole thing damn great, but Voimaton definitely did with 2022's 'Profane Vestige'.
I’m mostly listening to the following bands right now, I suppose kind of drone / doom / stoner / dark ambient #metal. It’s kind of comforting, like being under a very heavy weighted blanket with a sleeping mammoth on top of it:
I have finally dragged on clothes, so welcome to #ShirtCheckSunday !
I share my tee, you show me your tee/shirt/outfit, everyone looks awesome and cute, it's great.
Today's shirt is Ashenspire's Three Months to the Gutter tee, art by Hagiophobic.
They're an avant-garde red/anarchist black metal (RABM) band, and Hostile Architecture is one of my favourite albums of the last few years. Equal parts beautiful and brutal, and upholding the rule that all metal bands with saxophones are good.
If you're near London in the UK, they're playing at Desertfest at the Electric Ballroom this afternoon at 14:30.
While inverter machines and digital control TIG machines are incredible, and plasma cutters are super fast and cut a sweet clean line., They do not have the soul of a 70 year old cutting torch, I love breaking out the Airco 'corn cob' torch. #art#welding#studio#metal
The whole thing about metal being huge in Indonesia? Yes, it is. House band at the hotel was working through Toto, Poison, and Pink Floyd covers. I got dragged up to sing.
Sabbath? I asked. "OK!" I did my best on Paranoid.
Talked with the singer later and the first question was, "What do you think about Testament?" Me: ?????
Everyone agreed I must be a Pantera fan bc I look like Phil Anselmo. \m/
Independent confirmation. New city. New hotel. Stop to chat with the guy on the desk as I come back this evening. He said, "I am sorry, sir, but I have to tell you, you look like Phil Anselmo." #metal#indonesia
