Thanks, I'll check some out. Do you know Scumpulse? They're a scottish band that mix crust punk with black metal.

I'm not a mod here so I can't speak for the community rules, but personally I'd love some crust/anarchopunk recommendations 😊

Ooh thanks for posting this! I have Inlet but hadn't listened to this release before. Loving it.

 

This album came out yesterday and it's already one of my favourite releases of this year.

There are a lot of reasons, but I think this article does a good job of listing the main criticisms: https://www.themarysue.com/the-autism-speaks-controversy-explained/

But in a nutshell:

  • They frame autism as a disease that needs curing
  • None of their board members are autistic
  • They spread fear and misinformation about autism
  • As a charity, embarrassingly little of their money goes to actually doing anything for autistic people

Oh yes, what a great album!

I've always thought "separate the art from the artist" should be a conversation, not a hard and fast rule. I've never heard White Freckles so I don't really have an opinion on this. But if the track is meaningful and brings beauty to people's lives, that's valid despite the artist being a piece of shit.

There are some artists where I feel the artist's behaviour does not outweigh the impact of their work on my life, for example Eric Clapton, but there are other artists where I feel their work stands up despite the artist's actions (Prince, David Bowie).

Thanks, this was a good read. I'm glad there's growing resistance to the fash/nazi scenes in black metal.

Wow that looks amazing!

 

I think about this song daily.

You know what's really cool? Crows share this knowledge, so there are crows out there who know you've done their crow friends a solid, and they'll look out for you. Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/likeus/comments/ctaif0/some_amazing_details_about_the_little_girl_who/

 

This is one of my favourite albums. It's a bit of an odd one out in Novembre's discography: it's generally a bit softer, it features mostly clean vocals, and it generally sounds quite upbeat.

The standout track for me is Jules: it balances a melodic tenderness with an outro that makes you want to headbang and cry out with joy all at the same time. The whole album gives me a distinctly summery vibe: lazy days, the feeling of life stretching out ahead of you... all the possibilities it brings.

This album will always hold a special place for me.

Signals, by Pallbearer (pallbearer.bandcamp.com)
 

One of my favourite tracks from Pallbearer's new album, Mind Burns Alive. It's beautiful.

 

I found out about this band through to Poema Arcanus, another Chilean death-doom band. They've got a great melancholic sound to them.

 

I preordered this back when it was announced in February. It arrived over the weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled with it. This is the frosted clear version.

 

I keep coming back to this song. One of my absolute favourites.
