Six Below Zero's new album "Violence Is Always the Answer" releases late tonight on all major platforms.

I'm super stoked about it, and it's a must-listen for fans of heavy, punk-influenced beatdown & metalcore. Think early Hatebreed, Throwdown, Earth Crisis, etc.

With regard to my last post:

It's not like you can't be worried about/stressed over/involved in things going on in the world. And it's not like you shouldn't be allowed entertainment.

But learn to compartmentalize a little bit, and set some time apart for yourself without incessant engagement.

Hey.

Put the phone down. Walk away from the computer. Shut the TV off. Set the Switch down.

Take in the world around you for a little bit each day. I promise you, life is less stressful when you don't have noise/entertainment/AV engagement every second of the day.

Take a walk or some shit.

Welp, it finally happened to me too. Just got accused by some rando of one of my bands being AI-generated music.

I hate this timeline lmfao

Quick update for fans of my bands/projects, as well as an important note/update for #Bandcamp users. (Click on pic for full text.)

I do not mourn the death of utter pieces of shit.

Fittingly, one year ago I released this album.

I meant every syllable of the lyrics and every pixel of the album art, and I regret nothing.

Every year people in my area get increasingly reckless with fireworks on the 4th.

Tonight, they went all out.

Unsurprisingly, the house across the road went up in flames (also spewing embers onto my bone-dry property).

Afaik everyone's unhurt, but I really fucking hate fireworks at this point.

Trump supporters celebrating the holiday today is peak irony and you can't change my mind.

Living on a nice plot of land out in the county in a very rural area out west is cool.

Having huskies is cool.

Certain side effects of that combination...like huskies picking fights with skunks...is not cool.

Anywho...as far as the music goes: Six Below Zero, Silence Before the Storm, Underrot, and Breath of Sindragosa all have albums or EPs written and ready to go.

Unfortunately, thanks to the economic climate I alluded to in previous posts, the recording of all that has been postponed until the fall.

I own and run a successful business in the service industry...in a small college town that heavily depends on travel, tourism, college enrollment, etc. I see when shit goes south, on the ground, a lot sooner than most.

We're having the worst month in our 15 yr history.

Do with that what you will.

Bruh, modern Euro cars are wild. All I own and have usually driven are domestics, and the newest car I've ever driven was like a 2017. Rented a 2024 Jetta GLI today for a long road trip this weekend...and it took me an hour just to figure out all the basic shit and settings and everything. Lol.

[Actual] Libertarians have been screaming from the rooftops from the start about the freedom of movement of people/goods, anti-protectionism, CJS reform, the 2A/reducing state monopoly on use of force, women's bodily autonomy, not funding unnecessary wars, and much more.

Y'all ready to listen now?

I used to want to "be somebody". I had it hammered into me from a young age that I needed to be a force, a contribution, and an impact to the world.

It drove me to feel the need to do, be, be involved in, and know *everything*, everywhere, all the time.

But I have found solace in irrelevance.
June 11, 2025 at 2:57 AM
My sphere of influence and impact has dwindled. My funeral will not be large. My bands will never top charts, my business will remain small, and history will likely never remember my name.

But I wouldn't trade the lowered stress and anxiety levels for the world.
June 11, 2025 at 2:52 AM
Between the lack of social media, the fact that I have very few friends and family left, and me going out of my way to be involved in as few people's lives as possible...

..this is possibly the most peaceful my life (40 yrs) has ever been.

Being a hermit isn't for everyone, but it works for me.

My mental health and mood has been infinitely better since leaving Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, et. al. (in addition to severely limiting my IG and Bluesky activity).

Most social media has just morphed into a multifaceted monstrosity that honestly isn't good for anyone.

Although I do find it hilarious that a very anti-MAGA song from an openly and blatantly anti-MAGA band was selected to be on a playlist that's being used to represent and promote talent in perhaps the most MAGA state in the entire US. Lol.

Some might say it's a successful psy-op. You're welcome.

Yours truly had TWO of his bands/projects selected for this year's Wyoming Arts Council playlist :) My hardcore band Six Below Zero is a rare appearance by a "heavy" band on the yearly list, and my acoustic project Days Long Gone nabbed a spot as well.

FB was never great and hasn't been good for a long time, but HOLY SHIT that place is a dumpster fire now. It's a total wasteland of ignorant boomers and bots replying to bots on bot-driven clickbait pages spewing nothing but misinformation. And you have almost no control over your feed now. Wild.

Donald Trump has got to be the stupidest, most idiotic person I have ever seen on this planet.

And that's saying something, because I've known a lot of really dumb motherfuckers.

As a side note: It's insanely alarming how many people are completely fucking unaware of half the shit going on rn.

After more than 2 yrs on hiatus...a new Silence Before the Storm album will arrive early this summer! Album is 90% written, and recording will begin within a couple of weeks. Hope to have it out sometime in June. Stay tuned!
