Saw these guys opening for Death To All last year and was pleasantly surprised. Not usually my style of music but they put on a great show.

Yesterday, I spent maybe 45 minutes scrubbing through an MCR song so I could prepare a lead sheet for my cover band.

Today, I am getting constant ads for various music training services like Yousician and Ultimate Guitar.

These algorithms are absolutely insane. Net neutrality needs to return

Skipped Around the Fur because I’ve heard it a hundred times and know I love that one. Currently working through White Pony and also liking this one. Quite a bit more vocally experimental than the previous two, though the riffs aren’t as memorable to me as Around the Fur.

As a person who passively enjoys Deftones, I’m educating myself and listening through their discography over the next day or two.

Glad they were able to survive past Adrenaline lmao. The guitar tone sounds like they plugged the head into a PA speaker and mic’d it up in a shower stall.

I finally got myself (mostly) off Facebook and will be dropping my random funnies and death metalling here

Fun fact: Wal-Mart has about 2.1 million employees.

If you took that $400 billion and split it evenly between all 2.1 million employees as a one-time lump sum…

Each employee gets over $190,000.

Every song has a similar riff style but some other radically different element on top (mostly vocals, but one song has brass too).

Really interesting seeing how the same band sounds wildly different with different vocal production on each song.

FINALLY beat Promised Consort Radhan the other day.

Even after getting nerfed (as he should have been—some of those attacks were straight up impossible to counter), he’s still a top 2 hardest boss I’ve ever dealt with.

Malenia still might surpass him in difficulty, but they’re very VERY close.

Bummer to not have Mat in Rhuidean, but this honestly makes sense from a condensation standpoint. You could easily fold a lot of Tanchico and Ebou Dar together, wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what they do.

Me: *visits any general guitar themed group/subreddit/page*

Literally every post: "New guitar day!" *it's the most generic strat or strat clone you've ever seen*

Everyone in the comments: "GORGEOUS. NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO STUNNING. THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER GUITAR."

Can confirm it’s very good. Virtually zero blood or gore but extremely tense, especially in the last half hour or so.

Elon Musk is out here doing all the things conservatives accused George Soros of doing for decades, and he’s heiling Hitler too!

Love this. Love that they’re not even trying to be subtle anymore. Love how easy this makes it for me to cut out the people who aren’t horrified by what they’re seeing.

Meshuggah and Animals as Leaders are probably the two most influential bands on the metal of the last ~20 years. Am I forgetting any other huge ones?

2025 will probably not be the year local metal dudes stop taking themselves so fucking seriously, but damn I sure with it were

Heyoo #MetalSky #DeathMetalSky #ProgMetalSky #BlsckMetalSky check out my band’s artist playlist! For fans of anything loud and sad.

BlueSky explicitly stating they won’t suppress links is already a huge win for artists of all kinds.

Virtually every other platform suppresses everyone and everything unless you give them money.

Looking forward to what could be many years of fun with #MetalSky #DeathMetalSky #ProgMetalSky

Anybody interested in a sadboi dream theater cover? I released one with my solo project earlier this year. Check it out!

He’s been my #1 inspiration as a bassist ever since I saw the omnipresent perception music video a decade ago. Absolute monster of a player

Appreciate it! I’m learning by ear too haha, the only tab I’ve found for this song is extremely inaccurate. Extremely difficult for sure, takes a lot of work (and plenty more to come)

So glad it’s on Tubi now. I bought it on Amazon earlier in the year thinking it would never end up on streaming, being a somewhat obscure foreign language film.

Practicing a little more of Solus by First Fragment. This song is INSANELY difficult to play, but I’m having a blast learning it.

Currently at 90% speed. Still have some cleaning up to do, but it’ll get there soon. 😁

Ice Giant - In the Maw of Reality (Bass Playthrough) YouTube video by Dan Saillant

Haven’t shared my band Ice Giant yet here! We are a symphonic melodeath band from Boston, MA. Our debut album came out last September.

Check out my bass playthrough of one of my faves youtu.be/J2-g_GyIM68?...

Gonna be 225 eventually haha I think this video is like 170

It’s such a great album. By far one of my favorites of that genre. I usually have a hard time getting into super crazy tech death, but they managed to make it so catchy while also being RIDICULOUSLY technical

Any fans of First Fragment here on #MetalSky #DeathMetalSky ?

Currently attempting to transcribe Solus by ear and man it is HARD as hell haha

Only at 75% speed currently and even this gave me a huge blister. Haven’t had to do this much tapping since learning Beyond Creation lines a decade ago

Loving this so far
