Got my turntable set back up and revisited Ghastly's 2018 album Death Velour. Fantastic Finnish DM from a meditative bioluminescent cave shroom trip or something. Guess I'm listening to Morbus Chron next. #metalsky

JOSHI FOREVER #iosky

Another favorite from recent years, German Blackened Death outfit Sulphur Aeon's Seven Crowns and Seven Seals from 2023. Anything that includes "additional e-bow manifestations" is going to be sick. Cosmic beauty, crushing desperation, and majestic riffs. #metalsky #sulphuraeon

Catching up with Gutvoid's new EP. Their full length was super sick. Canadian DM with some Doom. #metalsky

One of my favorite progressive metal releases from recent years. This was my first exposure to Germany's Disillusion with masterful production from Jens Bogren and vocal arrangements that give Katatonia a run for their money. #metalsky

Revisiting Crypt Sermon's The Stygian Rose. Plenty of Sanctuary and Nevermore here, some Candlemass riffs there, but altogether an entirely novel and special album from another age #metalsky #cryptsermon

Finally listening to the newest Flower Kings and boy is this a trip #prog #progrock

I started my career as an economic research assistant at the Federal Reserve Board and I've taken field trips to Treasury. I keep trying to imagine these little muskrat piss ants waltzing in there trying to fuck with our data systems. We must not submit to these techno-feudal lords.

Catching up on releases I missed from a very busy 2024. Sear Bliss still in top form as expected. The brass on this record reminds me a bit of Beyond Dawn's Pity Love (incredible album). #metalsky

In process deleting Meta; I have arrived. Will probably post occasional thoughts on music, wrestling, and resisting techno-feudalist oligarchy. ORION! WON'T YOU GIVE ME YOUR STAR SIGN? Also follow @naeramarthband.bsky.social soon for updates.
