[antihibikase-archive]

nulut - Lower One's Eyes (Trickle's Eng. Cover) - the Slater song ever. The Jesus motifs. The burning motifs. Applicable to both his regular self in Blur/Blight, and his AU selves, particularly in MR and NC.

Noboru-P - The Snow White Princess Is .. - Snow White motif; glass coffin, red apples, talks of coldness, as well as Slater's "cursed to wait" theme going on. Also, there's mention of stairs near the last chorus; Slater is always trapped in some sort of tower.

Mili - String Theoracy - "Which you are you going to be?" "Inside that mirror do you see- someone else in that body?" "For the puppets on TV- there is comfort in the strings." "Spread me open for dolly pink, Snow White artificial beauty." "If you're gonna replace me, at least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly." "And if you love me, can you love your everything too, for me?" CRYING SOBBING SCREAMING

Waterparks - Magnetic - living up to an image being projected on him, unable to see a true self, mention of heart motifs and morgues, "I see his fucking face, but he's not me"- The Heart moment.

NILFRUITS - Tricologe - Prisoner of life, mentions of compliance being akin to being a corpse, trapped bird motif, etc. Being kept trapped in what the people see is good for him, perfect for him, without asking what he wants. Talks of wanting to be accepted even outside of being dressed up in jewelry.

Foster The People - A Beginner's Guide to Destroying the Moon - this is in Hilbert's playlist too, but it was suggested as a Slatercore song <3 (and a lot of Blur/Blight guys share songs); mostly geared towards The Heart, his death meaning something, "You will never be whole, until you lose control" etc.

R.I.P - Fruiting Bodies - lack of self, loss of memories, etc. Fitting for Slater whose main theme is not having a proper self, whether its projected onto him or its something he embodies in order to feel real. Extremely fitting with The Heart, as Slater received his memories and his heart.

Denpol-P - Hitorinbo Envy - feeling of being unwanted as his current self, technically also a waiting motif, except he's waiting to be found. Mentions of being torn apart, black hands (Slater's hand motif; his hands are the first thing he sees of himself, so they're often obscured/gone).

Mikito-P - Setsuna Plus (JubyPhonic's Eng. Cover) - a song of healing, Slater's habit of being a liar, the teal and red color palette ... Slater's Relic Song motif, and also a song that is applicable to Kuroshipping, Mutualism (Descante & Slater) and Aibou (Piper & Slater) -> applicable to Slater and anyone (this is in Nate's playlist)

Deco*27 - MKDR (SirHamnet's Eng. Cover) - The Blur/Blight Kuroshipping Divorce Song Of All Time + "Praise to the love that will bring salvation!" (Hilbert is the Hero of Truth. His love for Cheren makes Cheren The Heart = The Heart is considered a Jesus figure) + "Two fools singing to a shallow melody."

Definitive "Top 10 Slater Songs of All Time" list. Maybe

[lokh]

Im gonna need your like, whole musical rec list, bc literally every song you have posted has not flopped once, give me your faves i need to eat them

OUGHHH YOUVE UNLOCKED THE BEAST ARGSHHFHJDF....

in the interest of making this both easily accessible but not stretching the dashboard, im embedding bandcamp links when i can, otherwise linking to youtube when unavailable

in no particular order, inclusion based mostly on what im still actively into LMAO but also just things you should give a go at least once:

list of artist recommendations

zeal and ardor: described as a mix of african-american spirituals and black metal. try devil is fine, you aint coming back, wake of a nation or church burns

bloodywood: indian folk metal, literally nobody is doing it like them. recently featured in monkey man (2024), try chakh le, yaad or dana dan

stromae: if youve never heard any of his songs WHAT ARE YOU DOING..... incredible lyricist, described as a blend of hip hop/electronic. papaoutai made the rounds on tumblr a while back, but you should also try santé and l'enfer

alamat: pinoy pop. a youtube commenter described them as sounding like 2nd gen kpop which probably also explains why i took a shine to them LMAO, notable for the amount of filipino culture on display and the diversity thereof (singing in different languages, themes). first heard them thru kasmala either here or on twitter lmao, try aswang or maharani

andy bull: alt-pop. a lot of poppy and upbeat songs with a melancholic undertone imo. an australian artist, try it's all connected or keep on running

cosmo sheldrake: electronic, wikipedia also lists him as folktronica and baroque pop. you may have heard the song come along on an apple ad - hes known for sampling sounds from nature. pliocene for example features sounds from endangered ecosystems.

if you like cosmo sheldrake, you might like hidden orchestra (electronica, ambient). also making use of field recordings, i really love the archipelago mixtape but its a hard sell at about an hour lmao. if you like the following song then i implore you to give it a go

son lux: experimental, you may have heard from them in the entire soundtrack for everything everywhere all at once (!!!!!). try dangerous, dream state (brighter night) or live another life.

ammar 808: electronic/world fusion, also behind bargou 08 (folk rock you should also listen to). i just cant get ain essouda out of my head, but i also love geeta duniki

miyavi: j-rock, used to be a visual kei artist. these days he might be known more for anime openings like flashback (kokkoku) or other side (id:invaded), or for work like snakes in arcane (or actually inspiring and voicing a character in it), but ive always been partial to his early work like sukkyanen myv or ashita, genki ni naare

songs/albums

'threads' album by now, now (indie rock).

'dream to make believe' or 'what to do when you are dead' by armor for sleep (rock, emo). here's the truth about heaven from the latter album

i already posted about it but denzel curry's 13lood 1n + 13lood out mixx (rap, trap) is extremely good

the guilty gear soundtracks and im so serious im not fucking joking. different kinds of rock and metal and all sorts of influences put in, a genuine labor of love. xrd and earlier games are mainly instrumental with some vocal tracks (try give me a break or big blast sonic), while strive pretty much always includes vocals (of course i need to rec rock parade, but also try requiem. its genuinely hard for me to pick and choose lmao)

not an album and not an artist

coke studio pakistan and coke studio bangla knocking it out of the fucking park, im particularly a fan of harkalay and kotha koiyo na. you could try the other coke studios too (tamil, india, etc)

triple j like a version is when the radio station triple j brings in artists and has them do a cover of a song (artists choice). i liked denzel curry's cover of bulls on parade and flume's shooting stars (video for this one is incredible, man had a vision you just have to stick it out), but you get a lot of interesting interpretations like the wombats' running up that hill, gordi's in the end or, infamously. the wiggles' elephant

ive DEFINITELY missed out some, but thats what my music tag is for LMAO i hope someone discovers something they like here!!!!

[cedrickjuans]

Suck my blood and bones and flesh Using your vicious tongue until I get weak In my body and heart, from head to toe My love for you will never dissolve Even if you become an aswang

[reallyhardy]

It’s the very reason the group was launched in February 2021: while original P-pop music saw success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, support faced a steep decline once groups started modeling themselves after their Korean counterparts. The industry lacked diversity and by extension, a distinct identity: something Alamat has in spades. Today, they are ready to live up to their name (which means “legends” in English) as the first multiethnic, multilingual act in the Philippines.

Alamat came together from all over the country. Leader, main dancer, and sub-vocalist Taneo (22 years old) is from Tabuk, Kalinga, in the far North; co-leader Mo (20) is a half-Black American from Castillejos, Zambales; Jao (20) comes from Pampanga and the group’s center Tomás (24) from Tabaco City, Albay. Vocalist and visual R-Ji (23) is a Waray-Waray from Borongan, Eastern Samar, while rapper-producer Alas (21) is a Bisaya from Davao City. 

All were students with side jobs prior to joining the group, and while they all agree that this gig positively changed the trajectory of their lives, the journey was not without doubts. “Lately, it seems like Filipinos gravitate towards foreign influences more: our appreciation for our culture has slowly started to fade. So when we heard of the concept of this boy group, we couldn’t help but think it was risky,” Jao admits.

Alamat’s creative director Jason Paul Laxamana further outlines to Teen Vogue via email the complexities in P-pop and K-pop, and how they’ve affected Alamat’s reception in the country. “For Pinoy K-pop fans, they would judge Alamat based on their standards: glossy sets, Korean-style choreography, and even physical appearance like light skin and colored eyes,” Laxamana says. “Since Alamat doesn’t follow their formula 100%, many perceive them to be doing it wrong.”

But these risks seem to have paid off, as they’ve built an impressive portfolio of songs that illuminate the Philippines’ illustrious culture. “Kbye,” for instance, is their debut anthem about ghosting sung in seven of our local languages. “Kasmala” — which recently went viral for its “f*ck colonizers” concept — references the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, where Filipino natives were displayed like zoo animals before a foreign audience. Their latest EP Pasulong has the sensual and bass-heavy “Aswang” as the lead single, where all six members fall for the country’s most popular urban legend: a bloodsucker that only appears at night.

ALAMAT PAGSULONG ALBUM MADE ME CRAZY.

*Pardon my english*

So it's been 5 months since ALAMAT (a Filipino pop group) released their mini album called "PAGSULONG". quick background about ALAMAT, they are a 6-member boy group under the viva Artist agency from the Philippines. they consist of Taneo, Mo, Alas, Tomas, Rji and Jao.

This Pagsulong album just made me crazy as sht. Like bro, the songs, the beat, and the lyrics are all bop. Plus Alamat are getting better at anything. let me give you a little trip to their PAGSULONG album.

Disclaimer: these are all my opinion, please be kind and correct me if there's something wrong. Love yah <3

!. SAY YOU LOVE ME

For me, this song was a total vibe. it's an RnB, which is really rare to hear from a Ppop group and the lyrics is about questioning the love from your lover if they still like you or nah,

It gives the vibe : ako pa ba o may iba na? (is it still me or you like someone else already?)

2. ILI ILI

This song is a gem. It talks about our beloved OFW (overseas Filipino Worker) who constantly sacrifice everything just to give what their love wants. Very touching and really made me miss my sister from abroad.

3. Aswang

Okay, so my interpretation of this song is kinda weird. when I read the lyrics, it gives me the vibe : mahal kita kahit sino ka man(I like you whoever you are) . The song is really catchy though, I'm still singing it till now.

4. Maharani

I think this is the Fans' favorite, they are all over Twitter when the mv came up. I can't blame them, the song was fricking good that I almost memories the dance step. OMG. and you know what? this gives me the vibe of a very popular phrase in the Philippines socmedia : kung ako yun di kita gaganunin (if it was me,) if you know, you know ><

5. Gayuma

So farrr, this is my favorite mv in Pagsulong Album. Gosh this is so INTENSEEEE!!!. Like, they are all sexy, daring and GORG!!!. I love itttt

6. HALA

This is my favorite song of alamat. I love how they incorporate the "sitsiritsit alibabang" song (correct me if im wrong) everything is perfect in this song. boogsh

Go check them out and You wont regret it,
