CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@harmonycorrupted a favorite avant-garde metal project from recent years: Zeal & Ardor

@harmonycorrupted ah, shit, I confess to having lost my way in this conversation. Not sure if you were asking about Candiria or Rivers of Nihil

The C.O.M.A. Imprint for the former, Where Owls Know My Name for the latter

@harmonycorrupted The C.O.M.A. Imprint is their best, IMO, followed by 300 Percent Density. Their sound changed quite a bit on What Doesn't Kill You... and subsequent records. Candiria fans I know hated the change, but I like both sounds ‍️

(Interesting trivia: the wrecked van on the cover of What Doesn't Kill You... is the band's tour van after their close call with death while touring for The C.O.M.A. Imprint)

@harmonycorrupted I notice Candiria isn't on your list. Considering your metal repertoire, I'd be surprised if you don't know them, but on the off chance you don't, I highly recommend a listen. Also, have you heard Between the Buried and Me's latest? Quite unlike the other entries in their discography. I felt they were channeling a little Mr. Bungle for this new one. Like it lots

@harmonycorrupted gods, yeah, can't tell you how many times I've found a new metal group whose sound I dig, then heard a lyric that made me do a double-take and start searching to see if said group is on any lists of known white supremacist bands. Fuck them nazis 🤬

@harmonycorrupted I only know 3 on your list, so I've got some listening to do! Thank you

@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 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

@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!

@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!

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

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

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

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

@Hatebunny KMFDM is good stuffs, and they have lots of sexy album covers

@harmonycorrupted the Baroness album covers are my favorite, hands down

I love when an album cover is as artistic as the music it represents. One of my favorites is the sexy cover of *The Fountain of Tantric Worship* by Black Moth Cult
