I love when an album cover is as artistic as the music it represents.

@harmonycorrupted those others aren't familiar to me, but I'll check them out

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted the Baroness album covers are my favorite not just because they're gorgeous—and they are —but because they were created in tandem with the music. They're not two separate art projects, they're one and the same. So fucking cool ️

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist oh hell yes!! Absolutely! I love that they are conceptual, makes it so much more amazing to immerse yourself in

@smutgeist

Always loved the cover art of the Non Opus Dei album Diabel~

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@mioontje oooo I've not seen or heard this before, so I'll have to check it out! Thanks for sharing 🫶

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist I had massive trouble picking just one but decided to choose my long time favorite cover art Not my favorite album of theirs (I prefer the debut) but it's still a banger!!

CW: nudity

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted that's a pretty one, for sure Not familiar with the artist, but I'll check out their work (starting with their debut )

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist I wish I could put it on the wall, I'm such a sucker for gothic aesthetics! And niiiice🥹 The debut just honestly has more consistently good songs imo!

@harmonycorrupted

@smutgeist

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@mioontje listened today. Enjoyable black metal record, thanks for the rec

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted listened to both records (Theatre of Tragedy and Velvet Darkness They Fear) today, and I enjoyed both a great deal. I'll be checking out the rest of Theatre of Tragedy's discography in the coming weeks and months. Thanks for the rec!

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist omg fantastic!! I'm so glad you liked those! I have say I haven't listened past Aégis myself

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted listened to both Static Tensions by Kylesa and Serpents Unleashed by Skeletonwitch, enjoyed both I think I liked Static Tensions more, so I'll go through Kylesa's discography before I get to Skeletonwitch's, but I'll definitely be checking out both. Thanks for the rec!

[mioontje@girlcock.club]

@smutgeist no problem!

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist yeah Skeletonwitch are fun but admittedly pretty samey in their modern thrashiness (kinda like Municipal Waste, Toxic Holocaust or like Vektor...). I do prefer Kylesa by a lot like you do because of their grooviness etc

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist also really really glad you like them and I LOVE giving recs🥹

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted I'm always happy to discover cool new (to me) tunes, so that works out well 🫶

I listen to a fuck-ton of new (to me) music almost daily, and I enjoy discovering gems on my own, but discovery through a human connection is always more meaningful. So I get it! I like turning people on to cool new tunes, too

[smutgeist@kinkycats.org]

@harmonycorrupted know Rivers of Nihil? If you know of any other bands that work non-traditional instruments into metal, like the sax in Rivers of Nihil, I'd love to hear 'em

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist me too, it always feels truly special and I love that no matter how much good stuff you know, there's always more out there to discover and expand your mind! not to mention people turning each other onto things they might not have found by themselves!

[harmonycorrupted@kinkycats.org]

@smutgeist they sound familiar, I think I listened to them a good 10 years ago and for some reason forgot to revisit them In my defense, I was discovering so much new stuff back then that I lacked time to process everything properly I'll definitely go take a proper listen now!
Which album(s) of theirs do you like the most?
