    Last Chance to Reason

    Here have some Mike! Speaking of djent, which isn’t a genre, I caught Contortionist on tour with Periphery while in Los Angeles. I vibed hard with the few Exoplanet songs they played but haven’t vibed with the rest of their albums, including with Mike. I lean pretty heavily into harsh vocals, though. I should give Language and Clairvoyant another try, its been a minute.

    Guitar craft

    Many great stories, two guitars (one great, one kinda mid) and too much debt later I realized luthiery A. had a high barrier to entry in the form of machinery and tools and B. wasn’t particularly lucrative. I moved back to my home state and pursued an engineering degree, a much better idea.

    2025 albums

    Don’t feel too bad, I added far more than those 25 to my permanent library this year. I had to rebuild (read: re-pirate) my whole collection after a tragic hard drive incident; thankfully I had taken snips of all my genre folders a few months prior plus fiber internet.

    RSS

    I haven’t kept up with new releases nearly as much as I used to but an RSS feed sounds like an EXCELLENT idea for that. I’m certain there are tons for Linux, just need to look for them. Any additional recommendations for sites to follow besides the 3 you mentioned? I fucks with any combination of prog/black/death and gaze/post-/atmo/math. I prefer my death techy and djent tends to be hit or miss excepting Animals as Leaders.

    BTBAM

    Honestly Coma Ecliptic through Colors 2 were fine. A few standouts on Automata but nothing super special like the Alaska through Parallax run. I really enjoyed Blue Nowhere, though. The story behind Dustie’s departure is kinda tragic, but I’ll admit it gave the rest of the band more room to breathe and get weird which I really appreciated.

    White Ward

    I highly recommend you check out the rest of their LPs. I’m a big fan of atypical instruments in my metal, especially saxophone. Related; if you’re unfamiliar with Ihsahn’s solo work his first three are fucking excellent with After in my top 5 albums of all time.
