I was tagged by @getoutofmyhouse to post the first 10 songs that come up when I set my music library to shuffle. I almost shouldn't have done this because I really only use VLC on my phone, and move things in and out of circulation as I live my life. So, you're talking about less than 50 different bands, out of a much larger unrepresented pool of stuff I own and love. I don't use anything like iTunes or Spotify, they both drive me nuts. Full disclosure, I skipped any band doubles that came up to try to make this slightly more revealing, like it's suppsed to be. Anyway, here goes:

Die Antwoord - Cookie thumper

Monarch - Cadaverine

oneohtrixpointnever - Parallel Minds

Faith No More - Pill for Breakfast

Sumac - Blackout

Thou - The Eyes of the World Are Upon You

Rob Zombie - Dracula

Wolvserpent - Within the Light of Fire

Coalesce - Dead is Dead

White Zombie - I Am Legend

Aaaand of course I'm not sure who to tag, so let's try @moviesludge @6seven8triple9eight212 @puppygamer @bonerella @dimestoreman and see if they're up for it.

Wolvserpent - Wolve in the throne room (live)

[daggerzine]

Botanist - Photosynthesis (The Flenser)

The full, almost orchestral sound of this album is the product of two musicians: Otrebor, founder of the project, on vocals, drums and hammered dulcimer and Daturus on drums as well. The title of the album comes from the process by which plants utilize sunlight to create food from carbon dioxide and water involving a green pigment called chlorophyll. The titles of every track on the album references this life cycle process of a plant both internally and in the environment. Which of course sounds like a concept right out of 1970s art rock. But these songs are forged out of black metal sonics without guitar or bass. Because of that it's tempting to compare the sounds to something on a Swans record as that band has made extensive use of hammered dulcimer to convey a dense and heavy atmosphere that is paradoxically transporting like you're heating the musical equivalent of an altered state of consciousness. Botanist here attempts to convey the miracle and glory of the natural world with abundant and vibrant sounds that express the elegance of the natural structures and processes by which life as we know it is sustained at a very basic level. Probably most of us don't think about how no matter your diet you rely upon the way plants turn sunlight and mineral nutrients into the organic compounds our bodies and the bodies of other animals depend on for our very existence.

Otrebor's distorted vocals are appropriately primal and rough hewn and a fascinating counterpoint to the ethereal yet driving melodies of the hammered dulcimer and the detailed, interlocking rhythms that accent the flow of sound. Though technically a bit of a concept album, listening to the record is like taking in a more prog-inflected album by one of the great Cascadian black metal bands like Wolves in the Throne Room, Wolvserpent and Uada. Their own inspiration in the natural world and the wonder and mystery of it all strongly informs the composition of their own songs and for Botanist on this record and others that influence is especially explicit.  https://verdant-realm-botanist.bandcamp.com/   (TOM MURPHY)

favorite doom bands??

Oh man oh man OH MAN. Spring is The Season! for blasting doom metal (followed closely by summer, fall, and winter). As a general note, I’m not a huge stickler about genre, so please don’t blow up my inbox saying who’s more thrash or sludge. Doom metal is a state of mind, man.

**Bands in each section listed from “on the turntable most days” to “I dig but haven’t shelled out cash for an LP yet.”**

Forefathers of Doom: (Ozzy era) Black Sabbath, Pentagram, The Melvins

Stoner: Sleep, Electric Wizard, High on Fire, Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats, Fuzz, Red Fang, Purple Mercy, Bongripper, Bongzilla (pretty much only for “666lb. Bongsession” because c’mon that is impressive commitment to an aesthetic)

Drone/Experimental: Om, Sunn O))), Earth, The Body, Boris, Worm Ouroboros, Thou, Abjection Ritual, Ufomammut, Wolvserpent

Doom-Aligned But Not Doom Metal Honorable Mentions: True Widow, Worker Bee (Divorce Your Legs), Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Teargas and Plateglass, Grails, Swans, Trough, Chelsea Wolfe

Just getting into: Kyuss, All Them Witches, Ghost and Pallbearer.

Fun Fact #666: I TA’d a class at UCSC (fiat lux) on Marxist political theory (my focus was on the Situationists and the 21st Century), and at one point group-texted my students advising them to put on Electric Wizard’s “Satanic Rights of Drugula.” Its existence had just been revealed to me and I was just so tickled by the Sheer Stonerassity of it. This is how I imagine the song was “revealed” to the band, so to speak:

Jus Obom: *takes a long drag* Duuuude so like what if like Count Dracula like drank the blood of like… people like us, man, people who were like super high you know? and then like he got high from the blood, man, and then he had to you know like chase the high by getting people high and drinking their blood?

But unlike the vast overwhelming majority of similar Dumb Stoner Ideas that remain forever unrealized in the Limbo of Dumb Stoner Thoughts… they actually wrote a six-minute song about it! Amazing! Electric Wizard are my fucking heroes forever for because of that song.

I’ve had a bunch of shit in my queue and haven’t posted anything real in a few days.

I tried to post a pic last night because drinking but the mobile app fucked up so whatever. 

So, here’s the deal of where I’m at.

I moved out of my house a week ago, and now I’m between places. Mostly switching between mine and Laura’s parents’ which works out alright as the two houses are pretty damn different. Laura’s family live in this tiny ultra-suburban bungalow. They’re nice folks but very straight. By contrast my mum’s house is literally a cabin in the woods and about as remote as you can get in the UK which is awesome except when you need anything because it’s a fucking expedition just to go to a shop to get peanut butter.

We move into our next flat at the end of the month, and we’re basically treating August like a summer holiday. I passed my driving test at the start of June and having a car is life changing in this situation. Yesterday I met up with an old friend - neither of us have lived here for nearly 10 years but we both happened to be visiting family at the same time. This week I’m driving to Bristol for a few days, gonna see Bad Religion play, and then over to Wales to visit more family. My brother is moving to Canada next month, possibly forever this time, so I need to spend some time with him.

I’m really looking forward to moving north. It’s scary in the sense of moving across the country to a place I know no-one but I feel really positive about the place, going back to study and everything that could bring for us. 

PS @thecybernomicon tagged me for 10 songs. In no particular order except that I thought of them

1. Mastodon - Black Tongue

2. Cancer Bats - Sorceress

3. Converge - Dark Horse

4. Melvins - Going Blind

6. Wolvserpent - Gathering strengths

7. Chelsea Wolfe - Carrion Flowers

8. The Specials - Man at c&a

9. Black Flag - Life of Pain

10. Summer Boyfriends - Goth Beach Party

I’m not tagging anyone but if you do it, say that I tagged you.

Most of all, Inversum is the first album that is recorded, produced and mixed by themselves in the depths of the Wastement, the asylum of eternal feedback. darkbuddharising.com darkbuddharising.bandcamp.com facebook.com/dbrising SUM OF R Switzerland's Sum Of R exists since 2008 and was created by Reto Mäder (URAL UMBO, RM74) to construct/deconstruct sound in ways that infest and cloud the interior of the mind. Sum Of R creates slow moving instrumental music with a sensibility for hypnotic and complex song structures. Their intense and pulsating sound is influenced by drone, postrock, dark ambient, noiserock, psychedelic and cinematic post-rock. Sum Of R’s ritualistic take on expanding sound layers is deepened by the rawness of an unconventional metal atmosphere plunged into darkness, light and its reflection. Their live performances as a duo are characterized by a cyclical process involving bass guitars, drums, effects, samples and drones to create a unique and dense whole which is more than the sum of its parts. Sum Of R has played concerts with Oranssi Pazuzu (FIN), Amenra (BE), Pelican (USA), Wolves In The Throne Room (USA), Oathbreaker (BE), Deafheaven (USA), Esben and the Witch (GB), Wolvserpent (USA), Asva (USA), Corrupted (JP), Siberian (SWE), Dead Neanderthals (NL), Killl (NOR), Hemelbestormer (BE) a.o. The band toured in Europe in June 2016 together with Aluk Todolo (France, Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Czech republic, Poland, Hungary). Sum Of R also played festival gigs at "Funkenflug" (2016, Abtenau, AUS), "Atmosphaera" (2015, Ghent, BE), "Radau gegen HIV" (2014, Lünen, GER), "Swiss Psych Fest" (2014, Yverdon-les-Bains, SUI), "Utech Records Music Festival II" (2013, Milwaukee, USA), "Saint Ghetto" (2012, Bern, SUI), "Experimental Evening V" (2012, Bochum, GER) and "LUFF" (2008, Lausanne, SUI). Sum of R's self-titled debut album was released in 2008 on Milwaukee-based independent label Utech Records (Home of Locrian, Aluk Todolo, Horseback, Nadja, James Plotkin, Mamiffer, House of Low Culture). Following 2012 EP "Ride out the Waves" on Italian label Storm As He Walks and contributions on two compilations alongside bands like Sonic Youth, Sunn O))), Carla Bozulich, Master Musicians Of Bukakke, Menace Ruine, Aluk Todolo; Sum of R's second full-length "Lights on Water" has been released in December 2013 on Utech Records and self-released in February 2014. The new and third full lenght Sum Of R album "Orga" will be out in mid-September on Cyclic Law and Czar of Revelations. Orga is a voyage, promising to claim the spirit of it’s passenger wholly, embracing mind and senses, swathing them with strange, vivid mystery nebula, soothing at times, disturbing at times, confusing at times... What it offers is more than music; it offers access to a self-contained dimension, which, once entered, binds the arrival from beginning to the very end. It seeks to translate the cosmic energy to waves of sound – where spirit, body and instrument become one, uniting, floating as formless waves in the seas of equilibrium, hauntingly beautiful and pure. www.sumofr.ch facebook.com/sumofr sumofr.bandcamp.com sumofr.bigcartel.com/ www.utechrecords.com/Sum-of-R-Lights-on-Water TREHA SEKTORI (FR) Born in 2005, Treha Sektori is crafting, under an instinctive language, his own rituals. Influenced by ambient, ritual music, whatever the shape, since the expression is giving a sensation of falling. Solo project of Dehn Sora ( visual maker, member of Church of Ra, Sembler Deah, Ovtrenoir & Throane). After a debut release on Kaosthetik, TS joins Cyclic Law for the release of second full lenght "Endessiah" in 2012. The same year, taste grown for live appearance, trying to deliver a complete performance, made of visual connected to the music. Leaded Treha to tour Europe, Russia, alongside Amenra, opening for Neurosis, Tim Hecker, Author and Punisher,... A second live aspect of the project, based on vocals ceremonies took shape during special events (exhibitions, living room sessions,...) In the spirit of building another story, an artbook including a collaboration score with Muhd and Garm from Ulver, is released, to explore new formats. Always wanted to open the persepctives, teaming up for collaborations (Full lenght album with Barst, apparition on Oathbreaker's "Rheia", splits, documentaries scores..) Never found his place, comfortable in between different genres, always looking for new feelings. trehasektori.com facebook.com/TrehaSektori trehasektori.bandcamp.com facebook.com/dehnsora ALINE GORSEN Aline Gorsen is an alumnus of Kask Antwerp, and is specialized in the art of mourning and the art of remembrance. www.alinegorsen.be/ IMUS NOCTE/LITANIES OF SKIN Maëlle Cadoret creates macabre jewels in her home brand 'Litanies of Skin' whose dominant motif is the expressive skull. Its unique vegetable resin creations are based on a stainless steel, bronze and silver structure and are embellished with black tourmaline inlays. Each piece is polished with natural wax but retains the raw appearance of the sculpted mass. The scars are given besides their volcanic appearance, their own expressions and personality. Each ring is a character who accompanies his wearer with his scowl. facebook.com/litaniesofskin facebook.com/imusnoctejewelry litaniesofskin.com/ imusnocte.com/
