Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:

  • Civerous - Maze Envy
  • Anti-God Hand - Blight Year

Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?

eezeebee ,
@eezeebee@lemmy.ca avatar

Nope. That’s a new name to me. Where should I start?

LazerFX ,

2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.

They’re very fun Norse themed songs.

They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black… And I wish I’d seen it live :⁠-⁠D

Depression and anxiety greatly hindered my educational goals, so I only have an associates degree in accounting. However, the woman I married has a master’s degree in computer science and a good, well-paying job. Our first child had medical issues requiring full-time care for several years, so I am now a stay-at-home dad to two kids, guiding them through homeschool.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Hey man. I got 2 young kids too, and it is N O T easy. I’m not SAH: we both work, but I can’t imagine how tough it is to go it alone every day like that.

Keep up the good work

I work as a Java programmer, which means that I spend about 50% of my day complaining about Java. Why doesn’t it have enums like Rust? Why are there no tuples? How many goat sacrifices do the Java gods require to support named optional arguments to functions like Python? In the remaining time I have meetings, write docs, write tests, and sometimes even code. Nothing to complain about though, seeing how we are treated compared to people I know who work as taxi drivers or in elderly care, we programmers are basically treated as gods.

As for music, I like Hardstyle and Drum and Bass primarily. Examples: “Phuture Noize & Devin Wild - Waves”, DnB: “Telomic & Susan H - Underwater”. I’ll be visiting the DnB festival “Liquicity festival” this weekend so I’m very hyped right now

LazerFX ,

Really? Come to the C# side… We have all those, and concise code too.

I have a bachelors of science dual majored in microbiology and chemistry with a masters in education and I work in IT.

I am one of a handful of people in the world known to have been diagnosed and treated for a rare sarcoma cancer in an even rarer area of the body, that generally effects only women (I am a man).

It’s a really crappy club. I wouldn’t suggest joining.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Shit.

I’m really sorry, dude. I genuinely hope you get better.

Perhapsjustsniffit ,

I’m over it. Life goes on. Weird club though.

Part-time cashier at a big orange hardware store while trying to get my degree in horticulture.

Best cake I’ve ever had: Chocolate Chocolate Chip by Nothing Bundt Cakes. Seriously, if there’s a location near you that you’ve always passed by, stop by and try it. Their Carrot cake and Lemon cake are also amazing.

PopcornPrincess ,

Omg the carrot cake is delicious. Everything I’ve tried has been on point.

Metal

One of my all time favorite bands/albums/songs youtu.be/m0xgh6VfpbQ?si=nuAfWdbpD3E0eEQX

Track_Shovel OP ,

If you like these guys check out Black Breath

I once intentionally starved myself till the point of a huge headache as a personal experiment

Cataphract ,

Did a 30 day fast years ago, definitely need to look up medical information beforehand though. There’s some nutrients your body needs to function but it’s a short list which you can take with water (stuff that helps your neurons, etc). Was truly a different experience, would probably do it again if I had the time available.

I want to be a programmer by day and animator by night. I am nowhere near achieving that goal but everyday I am getting closer.

Music: Ritual Genocide by Ritual Genocide

Usless tid bit: I have 9th pair of teeth in my upper jaw.

Best meal: Naleśnik with pears by two lovely ukrainian ladies from a food truck

Best place: An overnight camping with hammocks in a medieval castle.

Bonus points for metal

I always recommend Shaka Ponk

More electro-rock-metal but still jaw-dropping

I’m an Asian (Hongkonger to be exact) and I speak Cantonese. I love sharing about my culture, most of the time including language. People don’t quite like it tho.

Meanwhile I study CS, make vector arts, play piano, and stream.

Work: Self-employed software developer, currently designing veterinary shop microservices. Still haven’t decided if I will use Java(spring) or Python(django-rest), (or none?) Insights will be highly appreciated ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Music: EDM, Robert miles ~ children . This song reminds me how we moved around a lot when i was 3-4 yo. (My father was a civil contractor on different companies, states apart) Finally, a song that sums up the confusions I had.

Tidbit: People highly underestimate their hearing capabilities. I mean, We’re not dogs, but our ears collect more information than we ever asked for. All you have to do is LISTEN.

Best Meal: My mom’s. And yes, I know I might be highly biased on this. I’ve tried pizzahut, KFC, and every premium buffet out here. But naaah. My mom hosts catering services, BTW.

Best place: to date? High school where I was studying. It’s at the foot of Mt meru, at the gates of Arusha national park. Almost every day, we wake up to the sound of zebras and giraffes grazing high trees, takes all the stress away.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Man. That HS experience. I would give a kidney to see Africa like that

@0_0j@lemmy.world avatar

Lol, you should have seen us the day buffalo herd grazed 50m away from school fence bruv, absolutely no one got out of the hostels (of which, as a high schooler, jumping and hanging all day in the rooms). One of the guards almost got horned.

Still, I wouldn’t trade anything on this earth with this experience. I’m highly thankful 😊

Edit: To be frank, I was busy chasing my crush, who was also chasing her crush, who was my homie, whom we played GTA san Andreas together. (a stupid triangle 😫). Every time I got a chance to look out the window on my hostel and see these graceful creatures, it reminded me how lucky I was.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Those things do not fuck around

Track_Shovel OP ,

Check out gnoosic.com they have a really strong algorithm that’s great for finding bands. It’s sent me shit with 27 monthly listeners.

What types of metal do you like? I can try to aim if I have an idea of what you're into.

If I'm going just for an out of the blue rec, maybe try Emptiness - Not For Music if you're not already familiar. Belgian black/death band having turned toward the avant garde have left nearly every indication of their more extreme roots on this album, and it's fantastic. All the tracks are great but if you're looking for the "single" maybe try the track Ever.

Track_Shovel OP ,

This is right up my alley; it’s going on my collaborative playlist called ‘forks in a blender’ which is just me and my bud making a playlist.

I really, really like Vvilderness. Huge fan. Also like panopticon, Unreqvited, Witchcraft, Nordic Winter, Skrm (I think?) Elderwind. Psychedelic Witchcraft and Blood Ceremony are up there too.

Phenomephrene ,
@Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org avatar

Ok, I can work with that. If you are a Panopticon fan you may already be familiar with this, but if not it's worth a listen: Eneferens. A little more toward the VVilderness vibe, but essentially purely folk, check out Ekstasis. And to go with the psych vibe, if you haven't heard Hexvessel - Dawnbearer then give that a spin and thank me later.

Track_Shovel OP , (edited )

God, how have I not heard any of these metal bands in this thread? I listen to metal every day, most of the day. Such a huge genre.

I’m going add these to the list.

Holy shit I’m in love with Eneferens and I listened to about 40 seconds. Thanks. Checking out the others .

They do a Kettering cover? Fucking wow

All of this. All of it goes into my and my friends joint playlist (forks in blender)

Phenomephrene ,
@Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org avatar

If you care to, let me know what you think of these. I think I'm on the right track, but I'd be curious to hear how these strike you.

Track_Shovel OP ,

Eneferens is top notch. That’s going to be a deep rabbit hole with associated bands, once I have time to sit down and explore.

I liked hexvessel and Ekstasis (in that order). Again, need to check out more before I really pass judgement, but they have a lot going on that I like

Phenomephrene ,
@Phenomephrene@thebrainbin.org avatar

I'm not sure there's much in the way of branching off from Eneferens. I thought you may have heard of them due to label affiliations. At any rate, glad you are receiving these positively. And yeah, trust that the Hexvessel album is worth some deeper dedicated listening. That's a special album imo; I don't know of anything else that's quite like it.
