@maxwelldusswell It's weird to describe Icelandic BM, it has it's own unique vibe for sure. Mispyrming themselves do have bits that remind me of Deathspell Omega too but that was more their earlier stuff. Honestly you're best listening to them because I'm doing a terrible job here 😂
Cover art that’s impossible to ignore and music that is equally strange. Something along the lines of an avant-black/death wavelength. Keep an open mind.

Happy birthday to the one and only Chuck Schuldiner. One of the greatest minds of metal music to ever live.
Let's celebrate by giving one (or more) of these a spin!
I think I got my answer. This album will stand the test of time for years to come. And that is quite the achievement, considering it takes on one of the most visited subgenres of black metal.
Band: Faidra
Album: Six Voices Inside
Country: Sweden 🇸🇪
To outsiders who don't pay much attention to the sheer fucking absurdity that is 2026 games journalism™, it might seem like people are overreacting to the Mixtape situation. Listen, I COMPLETELY understand if you feel that way.
But no, listen carefully. We've been saying for YEARS that game journalists are posers who despise this hobby. Mixtape is absolute proof of that.
This is a billionaire nepo project that is 3 hours long and that you don't even really "play." It was immediately astroturfed to fuck and back, called "one of the games of the generation," couldn't even bother to add a fail state or something known as "gameplay systems," includes the most quirk-ass possible millennial-hipster writing and teenagers tonguing, all presented alongside the lie that it's an "indie project."
There has never been a more direct example of everything wrong with games journalism, and that's saying a lot because they gave Veilguard a 9 out of 10 while games like Black Myth Wukong and Crimson Desert are 6's & 7's. "Mixtape" is being hailed as a masterpiece and given 10's across the board while its billionaire publisher lines their pockets with cute lootboxes filled with custom gadgets and CD players.
There is one reason, and one reason alone that they like it... and that's because it didn't "waste their time" by making them do something they loathe: playing a video game.
Alright I’m going to challenge all of my followers to give me the creepiest albums you guys know.
And I’ll review them this week.
Albums that make you feel uncomfortable, weirded out, scared or even confused.
CINCO DE METAL (if you listen closely you'll hear the bottom of the barrel being scraped)
Arguably even more underrated than The Chasm, given the current trends in bestial black & death metal they're also pioneers in too.
A true masterpiece of the style.

No matter where you come down on Michael Jackson as a person, this biopic is entirely the opposite of what he was, both as an iconic performer and a controversial tabloid figure.
