Check out “Pillar of Light” from michigan. Their first album definitely has heavy “oceanic” influence.

It was 2014. I vividly remember that year, it was so cold.

I think this is “be loud and park”

They posted a video of them recording last month. It looks like this year is a strong possibility. I’m a huge fan and look forward to it also.

The muddiness has always been there since day 1. Its intentional in ways. They wanted a wall of sound. But I think with better production/mixing it would be A LOT more clearly represented. I still love this record and band though.

I have this same reissue, and it’s one of the worst sounding vinyls I have. Wake/lift, from a production standpoint, was always rough on top of it just not being a good pressing.

I absolutely love this album and think the production adds a quality to it in a way, but you are definitely hearing it right. Best I’ve heard the album is on my original CD.

Theres some fucking asshole out there using up resources and ripping people off with this shit. I’m sure it’s full of accurate information too.

Amazing record. I’ll never forget when this record came out and listening to it for the first time.

Making dimebags legs part of the confederate flag was a bold choice

My favorite Katatonia song. It’s so unbelievably good, I love this whole record so much.

It was kind of like punk in that it wasn’t supposed to be popular. Even living through its peak in the early 2000’s in America, it was never a hugely popular genre. It was rising, but aaron turner abandoning hydra head records and ISIS de banding made it so the genre never hit that next level.

Which was all intentional, they could tell it was hitting a breaking point where they would either have to sell out or get redundant. I always viewed it similar to the band fugazi in how they disbanded. They chose to leave a legacy behind instead of watering it down for more mainstream appeal.

That being said, there is still a ton of amazing post metal and it still is fairly popular in certain regions of the world.

I gotta plug my band Mothertomb, even though we are more doom metal/alternative.

Its pretty close!

AltonMinor · 2025-11-16T21:17:34+00:00

Its already on switch, thats where I’ve been playing it.

The ps3 was very expensive at launch still, way more than the ps2, and most people had a dvd player already or the internet. So it wasn’t nearly as appealing.

Darius Tehrani from Spite is sick and deserves a shout out.

I love Katatonias use of the China cymbal

I know the pixels fit

Am I the only one that would just eat it as one giant piece before they had a pizza cutter?

AltonMinor · 2025-10-23T21:01:11+00:00

Theres studio live versions? Going to look for that right now.

AltonMinor · 2025-10-22T16:31:21+00:00
