Void into Nonvoid

Blahblahblah:

Well, I finally gave facebook the 'ol pressure-bolt. Feels weird, but man... Seeing all the crazy antivaxx, anti-science, and he-man patriotic/ religious/ anti-abortion "fuck your feelings" bullshit that was popping off on my feed non-stop made it pretty clear it was long past time to grab my coat and head out.

There's nothing to "promote" anymore (as if that's even possible on that fucking platform), there's no one to keep up with, and the whole thing had just kind of devolved into watching people I only kind of knew in high school line up for their chance to compete in the Herman Cain olympics.

So now what?

I guess I'm gonna keep going with this site. Probably gonna do some renovations, try to make things a little more presentable over the next little while, maybe even attempt a couple interviews, but generally just keep on doing what I've been doing.

And seriously, I hate that this needs to be said but I feel like it does because metal has been a fucking toilet lately:

I believe in science.

I don't give a fuck about what color you are.

The only argument against being LGBQT+ is a religious one and I'm not religious.

I cannot fucking imagine having enough spare time/ energy that I would wanna micromanage who or how anyone else lives/ dresses/ fucks.

I try not to support bands that are complete assholes but I'm old and I hardly bother to keep up with "scene news" anymore so if I write about a band that has said or done something stupid or controversial I probably have no idea. Feel free to hit me up and we can talk about it.

I'm far from a perfect ally, but I try to be a decent guy.

If you're a cool person we can hang out.

Just please get your fucking shots.

Muzak: 

Aenigmatum - Whirlwind chaotic death metal with a hint of melody on 20 buck spin. Bought this on a whim because it's on a label I like and I thought the album cover was cool. Feels like putting your brain in a blender with a bunch of shards of shattered mirror.

-

Black Magnet - When people I only barely know tell me that I'll REALLY like something I tend to avoid it just to spite them which is what happened here, but I finally came around and yeah, this is pretty killer. Reminds me of "Mind is a Terrible Thing..." era Ministry meets Pitchshifter/ Godflesh.

-

Cerebral Rot - Grimy "old school" death metal from modern day Seattle that does pretty much the exact same thing that all these bands do... Lucky for them I've been a sucker for this style since back in the actual early/ mid 90's so I really dig this.

-

Rotorvator - Weirdo industrial/electronic tinged black metal from a while back. Stuff like this has been a big influence on where I see our music heading in the future.

-

Nekrasov - Similar to above, but Australian and with an even heavier dose of electronic noise. Stuff like this was what I really wanted to do back when we started THNGRVD. It just took me over a decade to figure out how to make the drums work.

Video Games:

Espgaluda II

Tube:

Cure - Kiyoshi Kurosawa

High Waters

Short post today cos my ADHD is making it really hard to sit still and I kind of woke up with a headache. Might go take a walk, blow off some steam, and see if it helps. - Lungfish - There are days when I wake up and I'm just completely fucking over it in terms of noise or metal... Hate the people. Hate the gatekeeping. Hate the OCD collector mentality. Hate the thinly veiled nazi shit. Hate the cooler than thou posturing. Just wanna walk away from the whole thing and get a cabin out in the fucking woods somewhere.  On days like that I tend to pull the plug, listen to a bunch of punk and garage type stuff, and Lungfish usually winds up heavily factored into that rotation.  - Dead Moon - Portland garage/ punk legends. I never cared for these guys when I was younger, but now I really dig them. Especially some of their gloomier tunes like "Dead in the Saddle" and "I Tried." - Nash the Slash - I've written about this guy in the past cos he's a huge favori

The Unspoiled

Uuuugh. Woke up to our apartment building having an unannounced 8am smoke alarm test and luckily the alarm is brutally loud and right in our bedroom…. Talk about a rude awakening. I feel like my teeth are still rattling. Other than that? Uh, not much to report. Took yesterday off because I felt whacked out and fidgety… Guessing it was a symptom of either anxiety or too much coffee/ not enough sleep, but really, who the hell knows what is going on with my body and brain anymore? - Wargasm - Well, if it’s gonna be a rude awakening anyway might as well make the best of it with one of my favorite thrash tunes of all time. These guys were local to where I grew up in MA and should have been a much bigger deal than they actually were. Both of their albums absolutely rule but Ugly might be my favorite of the two, mostly because of this tune and Dreadnaught Day. - Danzig - Do I really need to explain Danzig to anyone? His first solo album is probably my pound for pound favorite, but for whate

Faultline

I'll have you know that, whenever this winds up getting posted, it was actually finished EARLY. Still on vacation so not gonna bother with much in the way of a preamble, just a real quick mention that when I walk down the street or go into a store and see people wearing COVID masks but pulled down around their chin it makes me want to fucking scream. What the fuck? It's like taking the time to wear pants but hiking them down so your ass and crotch are flapping in the breeze. Like at that point what's the fucking plan? There's zero benefit and and probably significant discomfort. You're literally getting the worst of both worlds. - Federation X - I can't tell you much about this band, just that I was sent three of their albums as freebies with some other stuff I ordered years ago and that they sorta reminded me of a punky version of big dumb American Rawk 'n' Roll ala ZZ Top which is something I tend to dig when I'm working or working out. Feels like
