we are only thankful for the tunes around here
I've been a little lax posting new shit, even on IG, so here are some recommendations
in 2020 i fell down some rabbit holes, and one of the rabbit holes was goth/post punk.
One of my current favorites is this band from Australia, Locust Revival. They began as a one-man project, but added two members last year. This is a brand new song, and one of their more shoegazey numbers.
I don't know how such a weird dissonant band can get catchier every album, but they do.
2023 has been grindcore year with so many bangers dropping, your fave may not even have the best record this year. (I'll show you the best grindcore record in just a minute). Atomck from the UK bring chaotic powerviolence with some unique vocal styles.
grindcore album of the year, right here.
there's been a sort of industrial metal revival in the underground, and if you ask me, Dome Runner are the stars. Combining Godflesh, Fear Factory (Concrete era) and taking it in a sludgy direction, they may have dropped the best EP of 2023.
My guy Marc dropped a new album this year. Instrumental bass and drums sludge doom, with tons of atmosphere.
Afterbirth's new album, which goes in some wild directions, more progressive than ever, while still keeping that brutality.
(I kind of have a guest vocal spot on this)
Garry Brents envisions an alternate universe where nu metal wasn't a mass produced major label creation in his new project Memorrhage.
hypnotic darkwave that gets stuck in your head for very long periods of time.
G.G. from Cosmic Putrefaction is back to take you on another journey. This time around, they venture in and out of some symphonic black metal.
. . .and I've hit my limit for audios in this post apparently.
bleh.
follow me on Instagram for more tunes, and also live vids I take so I don't forget what shows i went to in 6 years (since nobody has physical tickets anymore.

you can pry happy endings from my cold-dead hands. It can be the most heart stopping, gut wrenching fic that has every existed and I will read every drop of it if I get my happy ending. I have had enough painful endings in real life, give me happy in my fantasy world. It can be at the last second, it can be a single sentence, even a single word. Give me all the angst and hurt in the world for 500,000 words, but please give me the comfort I need in the ending. please and thank you.

This is kinda revolutionary? Just a few years ago destiel was queerbaiting fans to superhell but now? NOW? A show saw the fans HC a character as queer with valid evidence and instead went "you know what? You're right. We didn't originally plan this for them but we see you". Then four episodes into the season, canonized his queerness. Not the last second, Not the last Episode. the BEGINNING of the season, with time to expand AND we know we're getting another season after this. Just look how far we've come.
