Every frickin day of my life I mourn the fact that Luzu wasn't able to consistently log onto the QSMP. I mourn the friendships he could've built with people from Day 1, the changes to the story that would've come from it, and I mourn the fact that most fans don't know how insanely good Luzu is at roleplaying, and creating fascinating yet tragic stories.
#i talk#qsmp talk#emo about Karmaland Luzu and emo about the potential for QSMP Luzu#I am rotating particular Thoughts in my head at 100mph#There's so much potential for what could've happened#the relationships that could've formed#the friendships#I am really glad that Phil still speaks so highly of him#but I'm also [skull emoji] because I know those two would've had each other's backs like NOBODY's business#they were made to be besties#also Luzu is a BEAST at pvp and with a bow#He may be miserable in hardcore but he's cracked on servers#anyways. Cubito Luzu my beloved#The fandom loves traumatized characters and bastard characters#they would've had a FIELD DAY with Luzu#I'm still holding out hope that he and Rubius will come back after Twitchcon Vegas but I refuse to expect anything#He did promise though

HEY YOU!!
Fuck it, I'll share this with the class.
Do YOU want to rewatch all of Phil's QSMP Hardcore Deity Lore in one big binge like a total fucking masochist? LOOK NO FURTHER!
In order to drag my friends into Bird Man Brainrot Hell with me, I made a bullet list of all the major lore vods with dates and timestamps included for a streamlined list of what and where to watch!
All you have to do is use this [QPhil Lore Playlist] I made from our beloved Crow Mercy's Phil vods channel and refer to the bullet list below!
Tallulah & Chayanne would've loved this day (Sept 15th 2023, 8:00:15)
What Happened to Me? (Sept 24th 2023, 1:09:11-1:15:00)
Finding the Line (Oct 27th 2023, 2:50:00-3:03:00)
A discovery… (Dec 6th 2023, 2:19:47 to 3:15:26)
Another discovery (Dec 15th 2023, 2:42:07, 2:57:18, 5:37:39)
Healing (Dec 18th 2023, 3:07:10, 6:10:59)
Xmas Event & A New Threat (Dec 20th 2023, 3:11:25, 3:36:33 to 3:42:46, 6:19:06)
A message or a warning? (Jan 12th 2024, 7:53 to 19:04)
The date is fast approaching (Jan 17th 2024, 2:21:31, 6:08:28)
oh boy oh gosh it's island time (Feb 21st 2024, 6:21:12)
A Strange Gift (Feb 23rd 2024, 2:15:11 to 2:20:11) (OPTIONAL: WATCH WHOLE VOD)
Greed comes with a price (Feb 26th 2024) (WATCH WHOLE VOD)
Break past the void (March 1st, 2024) (WATCH WHOLE VOD)
ALTERNATIVELY!!
If YouTube is giving you trouble for one reason or another, YOU'RE IN LUCK!!
Kristin uploads all of Phil's vods to an archive on his Twitch, so you can actually find ALL these vods on Phil's Twitch channel too! I did this myself just a few days before posting this, they're all uploaded and relatively easy to find!
In order to do it this way, all you have to do is go to here on Phil's Twitch, then refer to the dates in the above bullet list in the vod titles. Once you find the right vod, just refer to the timestamps above and go nuts!
Happy binging and reliving Bird Man Trauma! :D
And as a bonus note: The vods in my playlist that AREN'T major Hardcore Deity Lore moments are other significant QSMP Lore moments Phil was involved in or present for, so you could actually binge the entire playlist chronologically if you want to relive it all! :)

I don’t know if anyone watches the missa streams but Phil training Chayanne has definitely kept him alive. There was a point where a green dragon was attacking Missa and Chayanne that was able to dodge arrows and fly. Chayanne was the one to climb the tree to knock it down and the both of them were able to kill it. Without training and the equipment Phil gave Chayanne would be dead. More powerful things are attacking the eggs, they have to defend themselves or at least have enough armor to not die while being protected
Phil giving Chayanne the means to protect himself while he and Missa are away is not bad parenting
Tallulah is going to be killed if Wilbur doesn't give her some means of protection and he doesn't realise that
Chayanne is alive because Phil is paranoid and has done everything in his power to keep him alive, even when he can't be there. Especially when he can't be there
Phil and Missa are two of the best parents on the server and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous
When your favourite dies because their parents didn't give them enough armour or a weapon to defend themself with, don't complain. You wanted this.
If Tilín had armour like Chayanne, he'd still be alive
#qsmp#qsmp chayanne#qsmp philza#Chayanne is on hardcore mode#he is training to be a hero#Chayanne my beloved#phil is a good dad and I’ll die on this hill

y'know, Phil said that after dying in Squidcraft, he'd be reunited with Missa in hell. But we (obviously) don't see that happen. So how do we know this happens? How do we know that instead of being reunited with his beloved partner again, come next stream, hc!Phil wakes up in his hardcore world and says something like, "oh wow, I had a crazy dream last week. I was in a death game, and I saw those people from that other long-ass dream I had... including my platonic partner... damn, that was weird. ANYWAY! :)" and goes about his day, not wanting to acknowledge that he's been once again torn away from his loved ones and has been whisked back to his longstanding world, alone once more.
#philza#squidcraft#qsmp#i can feel it in my bones that phil will do something like this and laugh like the gremlin he is

ohhh eggos. huevos. ovos. what a fucking journey its been, that's for sure. from the first day we met you, you won our hearts over. silly little admins playing silly little children eggs that caused just as much mischief as their parents (nearly). let's not forget that philza nearly got dapper instead of chayanne, that would have been a completely different outcome, for sure.
it's really sad that people like cellbit and felps never got to say goodbye to richas. or that missa never got to say goodbye to chay and llulah. or that roier and mariana never got to see pepito again. and it's really fucking sad that this all happened after we (aka me) thought everything was getting better. oh how wrong I was.
though, I am glad that the admins got to leave on their own accord. that they said, hey, this has been great but its time to leave. and while it is sad, let's be happy for them as look forward to the future of qsmp (I say with tears streaming from my eyes lmao)
in honour of the egg event ending, here's a couple of my favourite moments. (most of these will be chay and tallulah since I main phil):
chayanne and phil showing llulah rose's sanctuary
richas, pomme and philza planning to go rescue cellbit and baghera from purgatory
chayanne and missa getting robbed and held at gunpoint by ratackity
every time cellbit gave lullah a flower when they greeted each other (underrated duo for sure, there's so much behind them)
just in general, those times cellbit took care of lullah and chayanne when phil was away
philza seeing code!chay and code!llulah and immediately knowing it wasn't actually them (we love a good father)
phil officially adopting lullah (both times)
slimecicle meeting sunny for the first time and somehow still managing to misclick
misclickduo and juanaflippa in general
all of the dead eggs actually, juana, trump, tilin and bobby chingon!!
bagi screaming at the purgatory!worker when em lost a life during the post-purgatory fights with morning crew
niki and chayanne speaking german together!
every single death family moment, no matter the context, they really were the perfect family, and I will miss them with everything I have
it's very late for me now, so I'm going to end this here, but I don't think this is the end of qsmp. I don't think this is the end of the ccs shenanigans, or hardcore!philza lore he'll bring over, or bbh!demon lore. I don't think it's the end of events or anything like that.
now, more than ever, we need trust. just because the beloved ovos are gone, doesn't mean qsmp ends. we need to understand that wasn't the point of the server, and though it may have become that, now it will revert back to its original purpose: uniting languages and people from different countries. it will continue. just without the eggs. we'll miss you eggos, and
thank you admins for everything you did. it couldn't have been the same without you all o/

A closer look at panel 3 of my gift for the mcytblrholidayexchange!
This is my favorite of the three panels!! Love getting to mess around with outfits for the emperors and I'd actually never drawn AE!Philza before this!!
Long haired techno and short haired philza as an illustration of their opposing strategies in AE my beloved.... + long haired philza and short haired Techno in DSMP to show how their experiences since changed them...
Some fun details!! Techno has the blood god symbol on his cloak clasp and the symbol I use to represent sounder (Hooves around a heart) as his cravat clasp. He also has an earring where I draw the tear in his ear in my dsmp design. His crown is the AE symbol with two upside-down hearts. The upside-down hearts are used in techno's design to represent pig snouts while still tying him to the hardcore hearts used in Philza's design! (Also I forgot to mention Techno's ace ring in the last one so shoutout to that). Techno and Phil have the same layers to their ae design, except Techno's corset continues into sashes and starts behind the belt and Phil's doesn't so it's tucked in front of the first layer of his belt. Philza has boots with a heart and wing design that mirrors the AE symbol and wing design on his crown. Also! I sometimes model the AE sun more off of the Macedonian star than the flag, although I didn't in this piece.

I used to be obsessed with that Spiderman series when I was younger! (was kinda bad) the Spiderman in that series is the Roier that Phil will meet? How tf the meet em’?? Most importan The hardcore deities are a kinda thing related to the hand?? (an enemy cult enemy of Iron Fist and Daredevil if I remember correctly) like they have their own cults and phil/danny needs yo beat them up¿?
//strangely serious questions for a joke but u asked so
Anon this is such a goofy idea but I have so much lore for this. (Og post)
So the Spider-Man series canonically has a multiverse right?
Roier is the qsmp/hardcore version of Spider-Man. There are others too! Pac is this universe’s Nova and White tiger is split between Bagi and Cellbit.
Phil does have a version of himself in the qsmp universe because he’s from the spider man universe. (Martyn inthelittlewood my beloved)
Also he isn’t the only one who got booted into the qsmp verse. Flash Thompson did too and you will never believe who he becomes
#qsmp#philza#qsmp philza#qsmp fitmc#flash thompson#iron fist#ultimate spider man#HELP AHAHAHAH#i need a name for this au#maybe qsmp spidey#dunno

I'm too obsessed with these pixelated eggs (and baby zombie piglin)
Here's all of them(ignore the blurred corner, it's a bad ranboo sketch)
Tallulah and Juanaflippa my beloveds
A Michael_beloved sketch
And Chayanne. If you can't see it well enough, he's doing a "You will die" motion with his thumb. I gave him pins, on his left there's a skull for Missa, and under the skull there's a potato with a crown for TECHNO, then on the right there's a hardcore heart for Phil (and because he only has one life left), under the heart is a stick of dynamite for Wilbur (and Chayanne's love of destruction), to the right side of the heart there's a flute for Tallulah, and under the flute there's a duck for himself.

honestly I think you are so awesome and deserve all good things in life and I appreciate your role in the community sm, like I think I'd stick around even if you posted about things I know nothing about because just seeing you on the dash makes me go "omg its isa!" (even when its discourse lmao)
What The Fuck this is so sweet!! ;^; 💚💚
Worry not, I'm not leaving QSMP yet. Even if it hurts. If Phil's done, I'll likely migrate to Fit for it. Provided he streams when Phil doesn't. 😅
And I'll be damned if this stops me from completing AMFMN. Apollo has hinted during a brief reading with him that he'll kick my ass. We NEED more Phil centric fics, it's half the reason I said fuck it we ball and started AMFMN to begin with. That goblin of a deity is INVESTED in the story. I think I'd get sunburn for eternity if I left it incomplete.
And I have a perhaps therapeutic idea to write Phil coming home to the Hardcore World via Rose after departing with the kids. I think I'm gonna go for it, even if it hurts to write and I cry during doing so. :p
I'm not sure what'll become of that QSMP AU I was cooking on but I don't think I'll discontinue that before it even begins either. Additionally, I've played with the idea of just. Continuing some kind of AU storyline post-AMFMN. Like writing stuff (headcanons or short story(s)) after the events of the fic. We'll see.
I've been miserable at worst and palpably sad at best the last 2 days, and we'll see what happens during and after Phil's stream today, but.. at least for now at this good hour of 10am, I'm feeling,, better-ish. Cautiously optimistic. I don't want to leave (and I especially don't want to lose the amazing mutuals and friends I've made 😭). I'm not going anywhere.
But if you're curious, here's some other interests you'll see here besides QSMP:
I'm a Phil main first and foremost. Even if he's done on QSMP, I watch every minute of EVERY stream. Hardcore my fucking beloved. I won't hesitate to start cooking up more hardcore Phil headcanons or a fic or AU.
After Phil, I watch Sneeg second most. I also watch Hermits/Lifers & friends, Ranboo (yes hello I love Genloss), Tubbo & a bunch of others. Like I said, Death Family's end on QSMP isn't my end in QSMP, nor MCYT. :)
I barely post abt it anymore bc it's more bitter than sweet for me, but DSMP will always hold a place in my heart. I'm always down to talk about it if asked.
D&D/Critical Role/Candela Obscura (I've been dual-wielding hyperfixations on Phil & CR this whole time, you'd be getting Phil & CR primarily if I fell out of QSMP for some reason)
Related, I plan on getting into Dimension 20 sometime and I also want to watch LA/NY By Night. TTRPG enjoyers that follow me will be getting FED.
I FUCKING LOVE DRAWFEE!!!
Anime!! Bungo Stray Dogs, JJK, Soul Eater, Apothecary Diaries, Frieren, and a bunch of others are my faves/current faves :)
I'm actually primarily an OC and roleplay person, it's my biggest special interest and I've been doing it for 12+ years. It's why I love mcrp so much. I'd probably post this stuff on @isas-oc-asylum and then reblog here if anyone was interested, idk. But I have an entire original world + country full of lore and characters I could talk about for eternity
I FUCKING LOVE HORROR PODCASTS. Magnus Archives & Protocol, Welcome to Night Vale, Old Gods of Appalachia!!
Veteran followers of me know I was originally a Jacksepticeye & Markiplier ego theorist blog before 2020! I have so many AUs of them and I love them still even though new content with them is slow. (I like Sanders Sides a decent amount too!)
I love talking about witchcraft!! I'm always down to infodump, answer questions, or gush about my goofy ass deity circle!! <3
Controversial (/s) but I love the Hazbin & Helluva series. I also love other indie series like Murder Drones, TADC and Lackadaisy!
I'm also slowly watching The Dragon Prince with friends!!
I've reblogged stuff plenty of times but I fucking love The Owl House & Gravity Falls
When will Arcane return from the war,,,, 😔 (soon)
I won't hesitate to plunge into the Monster Prom series deeper. Milo Belladonna and Damien LaVey my lomls I will get monsterfuckery on main I s2g
Basically... I'm a fuckin charcuterie board of interests!! Realistically, I'll still mainly be Phil/Sneeg/CR. But I'm always down to be abnormal about all that 👆🏻 and more.
If any of that interests anyone reading this, feel free to stick around. Or keep beating me with QSMP & Phil stuff in my asks. I'll still always be down to write headcanons and talk about fic stuff. I love qPhil too much to shut up forever.
And if it doesn't? Congrats, I'm also a massive shitposter. I have like 3 different tags for it. Feast your eyes upon how funny I am. It's like the one thing I'm confident in about myself, I'm fucking hilarious.
Honest Opinion Anon Asks

dont mind me tripping and falling in here again. but i would also love to hear about botw au. legend of zelda au's my absolute beloved they have me running circles around my room. adrenaline shot straight to the heart nothing digs its claws in me quite like loz and i am so so interested to hear about it!! clingyduo doomed to save the world in every universe,,,, i'm invested already
thank you so much for humoring me, i love botw aus so much theyre aaaa!! aaAAAAAaaAaaAAa!!!!
so yeah this originally started bc an old friend of mine and i were talking and i forget who suggested it but we were like "hey wouldn't tommyinnit as link be so funny? because tommyinnit is like the exact opposite kind of feral-energy of botw link. loud and swears and uncontrollable and headstrong. hylia's most annoying hero." and things just devolved from there. it's fully a Crack Treated Seriously situation because i spent actual months working out lore n worldbuilding and whatnot fhdjskhfdk.
the fic is officially called Well, Excuuuuuuuse Me, Big Man: The BotW AU No One Asked For (or WEMBM for short)
basic layout (as far as i went with it anyway):
tommy more-or-less follows the order of what you're "supposed" to do to to beat the game: plateau->kakariko->hateno->kakariko again->four main regions->master sword->ganon. of course there are a lot of detours and back-tracking and skipping around for hyjinx
main regions/inhabitants are replaced: Zora->Axols (axolotl "hybrids"), Gorons->Piglins, Rito->Elytrians, Gerudo->Enderians
each of the above races have their own cultures that are loosely based off of the game's original counterparts and some mcrp fanon + personal headcanons thrown in. they're customized to incorporate some (mild) minecraft elements!!
old champions: Mipha->Niki, Daruk->Technoblade, Rivali->Philza, Urbosa->Ran (based loosely off of tftsmp Ran, effectively an oc lmao????)
new champions: Sidon->Foolish (Niki's younger brother) and Jack (Niki's best friend), Yunobo->Drista, Teba->Wilbur, Riju->Ranboo
all of their personalities more-or-less remain intact (which is why the fact that i put The Old Man / King Rhoam as Schlatt so fucking funny)
divine beasts keep their names but the creatures change!! Ruta is a glow squid, Rudania is a blaze, Medoh is still a bird (LMAO i might change this because...), Naboris is a phantom
some scattered details
wilbur is both the "new" champion role AND kass' role!! he and tommy meet early on in his journey (at his first visit to Hateno) but tommy doesn't learn about wilbur's heritage (Philza was his great great great grandfather) until MUCH later. they run into each other a lot during their travels.
wilbur also has a hardcore crush on an axol warrior named sally, which tommy teases and embarrasses him relentlessly for
tubbo (zelda-role) keeps zelda's arc of not being able to develop powers. the key difference is that tommy and tubbo are friends before the calamity business starts to get serious, and tubbo's frustration drives a wedge between them
(angst time: clingy duo has a Big Fight during that one sheikah slate Memory on the palace tower bridge, and they never get the chance to apologize to each other before it all goes to shit and tommy dies sacrificing himself to save tubbo.)
techno and phil are old friends from when they'd do colosseum fights together. they haven't talked much for a few years before becoming champions, both too busy with their respective duties at home, but the moment they realize they've both been recruited well, they're inseparable
windbombing, bullet-time bouncing, and shield clipping are canon. don't question it.
champion ran is a dick (think revali) and the only one there they respect is niki because they underestimated her and then she proceeded to floor them during a sparring session (and she didn't even threaten them with a water based attack, it was all skill)
awesamdude (most people call him "sam", he's ranboo's personal guard) has a half brother named awesamnook (most people call him "nook" or "samnook"). he's the Beedle-role and he talks in all caps like an npc ("HELLO TRAVELER." "Why are you shouting---" "HAVE A LOOK AT MY WARES." "Okay---")
bad runs the yiga-equivalent egg cult that, instead of disguising themselves as travelers, simply uses sprouts of blood-red flowers with a toxic pollen to mind-control bystanders into attacking tommy (yikes)
have some highlights from the few chapters i've written of tommy on the great plateau (yes, the entire google doc is written in comic sans)
tommy immediately sassing tubbo's disembodied voice:
tommy is 7 feet from the cave and is shoving things in his mouth:
(I should also mention he has a pet beetle in his pocket named Sir Legs)
tommy has a grudge against the sheikah pedestals, it's a whole arc on the plateau as he slowly comes to love and appreciate the pedestals and what they do for him:
old man J vs tommy's unwavering optimism(bullheadedness):
tommy vs disembodied voices:
tommy vs the first shrine:
tommy meets a monk:
pulling a direct line from philza's botw playthrough for this one:
me when i fast travel:
The loading screen says: "Leaving Comments: Leaving comments on a fic is a great way to make a writer go :D and give them the motivation they need to continue their bullshittery."
also some chapter titles:
#LONG ASS POST ALERT (and i didnt proofread this lol)#but yeah can you tell i miss this fic#lightningbig tysm for humoring me today. i just feel weird talking abt au ideas if im not prompted?? anyway ur the best <33#the lore doc is 28 pages long and that's not including some of the stuff i haven't written down yet fhdjsk#this functioned as my “no thoughts head empty just write dumbassery” fic when i was working on it and i think its abt time it makes its-#-return with a little facelift and more cubitos tossed into the mix#asks for curly#WEMBM

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GHOSTBUR DESIGN
ANYTHING FOR YOU, BELOVED MUTUAL CUP o7
okay so as i have previously established, in my au / hc c!wilbur's origins are kinda scuffed. she hatched out of the dragon egg on phil's hardcore world n b/c of that, has the ability to mimic.... whatever au puts aur mind to, really. (granted, he doesn't shift At All during the various arcs of the dsmp but i Have A Reason For That. n will elaborate at............ a later date.)
now!! how does this tie into ghostbur? simple!!
while not being All of wilbur, ghostbur is still Part of him, n given that death mechanics on the server are. More Than A Little Fucked, we'll say, she leans more into the glitchiness that wilbur wasn't able to tap into while being alive. vo is a sort of shadow figure that tends to glitch a lot n doesn't have much control over that mimic ability, so their appearance will usually mimic whatever hu's thinking about at that moment. so, in my recent drawing, ghostbur is thinking about her blue, n is starting to uh. well. become it. just a little bit. that's why the glitching effect on his lower half is blue, n why the arm holding the handful of blue is sticking to itself ever so slightly. au is becoming more of a sticky consistency in that moment n will probably become a bit more fluid-like in a couple more moments!! tho none of this shifting hurts, mind you- honestly i think it'd hurt to Not shift- it's just mildly inconvenient when gi is hanging out w/ dear old dad n suddenly sprouts almost-wings when phil. well. doesn't have them anymore. (awkward.)
#paq.qna#cupsmp#honeyverse#ty for asking about ghostbur btw i owe you my life#oh also i Did give vo a mouth but when i went to color everything the ink bled too much n it didn't look right so i just filled it in#it would've looked like the partially stuck together bit on their arm but y'know. mouth-like

october music thingie
i'm doing dreamwidth blind so i decided to talk about music. let's do it. here's my october rotation.
i know nobody's clicking that link so you can read it here too:
Faves:
Halber Mensch by Einstürzende Neubauten: a beloved album that went out of my rotation for most of this year but made a perfect return once the late autumn stuff got going outside. Great for long commutes and short walks. The first time I really appreciated Yü-Gung on its own merit, too. When the bass hits on the last refrain of "fütter mein ego" it's physically enjoyable.
Gris Klein by Birds in Row: it came out roughly a year ago and immediately landed a spot on my all time faves list, but especially my late autumn fave list. Not only is it a solid hardcore/screamo record on its own, but this time they really outdid themselves. It's such a perfectly paced listening experience—by the time the closer hits you are vulnerable to it, and when it's done, you get that perfect hit of "wow, I don't even know what to put on after this". The instrumental game is on point, too—I have so many loops and riffs from it wedged between my braincells, so, sonically, it's a win. And of course the songwriting here is impressive af. "Noah" in particular is a straight up masterpiece. I've listened to it outside of this record so many times. Ten out of ten, would recommend.
[untitled] by mewithoutYou: I just kind of forgot about it, but thanks to shuffle, I went back to it. I'm a fan of their earlier releases so I didn't particularly remember this one. And it's really beautiful! I'd say it's more smooth and melodic than their usual fare, but the usual songwriting quirks are all there, signature melodic decisions and lyrics and all that. Loved it anew!
Terror's Horns by Natural Snow Buildings: For some reason, I only now, after a couple years with this record, noticed there's a track called "King in Yellow" on it, haha. I've re-read it very recently and entered another small loop of my horror reading spree—and I must say this record would actually be a good soundtrack. It's only subtly creepy, but it does feel rich and heavy and mysterious and has bursts of pure ecstatic beauty near the end there and one of the most devastating closers I know.
Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada by GY!BE: a classic; and, by extension, Górecki's third symphony, since the iconic "Moya" is a nod to that. I love many different recordings, but my all time fave is the one with Beth Gibbons of Portishead doing the vocals. Her unique voice and manner fill the already gorgeous parts with something fragile and sublime that is simply unparalleled. It's one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.
Discoveries:
Jeff Buckley: I have no idea why I have been putting off checking him out for so long (I have an oddly patchy impression of popular music, in that I know a lot of obscure stuff but most of well-known names missed me completely), but man, the beauty here is really on another level. I was tickled to remember that a semi-obscure progressive metal band I like did a cover of "Dream Brother" a decade ago and that's how I first heard of him. Which is hilarious, because before I remembered, I commented on "Grace" to my friend saying it sounds like that very band if they weren't progressive metal. Also, no one who can pull off Dido's Lament will escape my admiration. Grace is going on that fave list for sure.
The great Destroyer by Low: I've been a fan for some years, but I tend to be slow in catching up with big discographies, so I missed some records, this one included. It's everything Low is beloved for, their quintessential reserved harmonies and precise lyricism all on display. Plus, the opener has been covered by Robert Plant, which is pretty cool.
Wind's Poem/Ocean Roar by Mount Eerie: I adore the quiet and devastating spoken word pieces Phil Elverum is known for (among other things), but these two black metal inspired albums, with those same quiet vocals and tentative lyrics contrasted by gloriously noisy instrumentals, are new for me and I'm in awe.
New stuff:
Silence by Rorcal: I'm only sometimes in the mood for Rorcal, but when I am, this record is a good example of why. Fun blackened hardcore, and the record is pretty tight and runs for less than 40 minutes.
Everything is Alive by Slowdive: I love this one! More than I loved their first post-reunion record. I think it was released back in September but it was a perfect melancholy autumn sound for my October.
Sit Down for Dinner by Blonde Redhead: a new Blonde Redhead record! Can you believe it? I think it got quieter than 23 and I love it less, but it's still a good record.
Oscillating Forest by Tangled Thoughts of Leaving: another September release by my ultimate underrated faves that get tagged as post-rock but actually do something more free jazz-ey and noisy and chaotic but also yes, with crescendos and keys and all that fun. Another absolute banger. Check it out.
At Zeenath Parallel Heavens by Black to Comm: my scariest ambient fave. It's not his absolutely full of dread Seven Horses for Seven Kings, but it's still delightfully uneasy and beautiful.
in spoar by piiptsjilling: there's this obscure Dutch sound designer/electroacoustic/ambient/neoclassical guy Machinefabriek with a massive back catalogue, and piiptsjilling is one of his even more obscure side-projects. It's more melodic and has actual words and not just vocal textures! I love it.
Not yet released, but Neubauten finished a new record and I'm HELLA excited. Nothing they've ever done is boring. Let spring come soon.
