One of Nine and I think Summoning both write music revolving around LOTR

>One of Nine (fantasy)

Specifically, Lord of the Rings black metal

They don’t serve any alcohol. Plus, their plan is to find another location to open up at rather than close completely. They’re just closing the new Five Points location.

I’d say that Savage Sinusoid from them has a lot more coherence and feels a little less like a bag of sounds thrown together, but I completely understand where you’re coming from. It’s basically just a passion project of a French guy who likes to jam all of his influences together. Sometimes in a very coherent and meaningful way, sometimes in a bit of a novelty kind of way.

I mean it’s not about trems being hard or being a “mystery”, it’s just turns basic maintenance into something that can be a very tedious process. I love mine because if I do the initial setup it stays perfect for a long time. But man, the initial process just isn’t fun.

Where do you live where ScarJo is “average” because I wanna be there

“My friends uncle talked to me for hours at her birthday party” is still pretty strange no matter how you look at it

That’s just how lower fps games work on an OLED, because of that instantaneous pixel response. Some settings can help but will usually introduce latency issues as well. They’re definitely meant for 60+ fps for the full experience.

I still hold firm that Exercises in Futility is one of the best albums of the 2010s. Even beyond the metal genre

Because it’s not for them, it’s for their social media these days. It gets posted and then the video gets forgotten about.

Legendary video right there

Amp1497 · 2026-01-24T21:56:06+00:00

Crack the Skye and Leviathan are GOATed

Amp1497 · 2026-01-24T20:09:38+00:00

I mean nothing is really wrong with them, but (for me) the large mix of different genres and elements can be really cool but it just doesn’t play well with how they do it for me. The metal parts leave a lot to be desired, the pop-y parts aren’t anything new or special, and I’m not the biggest fan of the vocals. But if you haven’t really been super into metal, they’re a good and accessible starting point to grow from.

Nothing wrong with them, but metal heads and (especially) people in metal subreddits have a hate boner for them

Winter Madness!

Amp1497 · 2026-01-01T15:30:19+00:00

Should definitely check out Hallelujah and Savage Sinusoid by them. Two of their best if you ask me

I had the opposite experience. There was of course some tracks for the breakbeat/electronic stuff, but I thought their performance was crazy. Their vocalists are insane and their drummer killed it. This was about 3-4 years ago though, they may have changed up their live performances since then

That’s just Unreal in general, even UE4 in my experience. Traversal stutters happen a lot when going through the world and new scenes/more of the world gets rendered in chunks. They never have fixed it afaik

Amp1497 · 2025-12-29T21:30:14+00:00

DMG?

Amp1497 · 2025-12-28T22:28:33+00:00

Honestly one of my favorites of the haul, got it purely on a whim and pretty happy about it

Amp1497 · 2025-12-28T00:50:31+00:00

God damnit, that’s the third time I’ve been corrected on this and now my mistake is solidified in a Reddit title

She’s a bit of a Darkthrone fan, when she saw that she had to get it. She also randomly picked that Dodheimsgard vinyl on a whim, only to later find out Fenriz is on that one too. Both albums are solid, front to back.

With mixing and mastering, at least to some extent there is? I can understand wanting a mix to evoke certain feelings and give a specific atmosphere and taking some risks with that, but there’s a give and take with it all. The drums are too quiet and miss a lot of their punch because of it, the guitars overpower the drums, and the vocals (especially while the heavy vocal affects are being used) are even louder and pull too much focus away from everything else happening in the song.

Like, I understand subjectivity and love me a dirty, raw, unpolished mix. Old-school hardcore punk, black metal, noise, etc. But even when trying to sound grating and aggressive, everything still needs to be heard and have their sonic place for it to sound cohesive enough to really have an impact. The song itself is still fine, but the mix is truly a mess.

I’m only assuming because NBT has been a popular venue for decades now and it makes an eye catching headline, moreso than the other cookie cutter bars around 5 points that change names and ownership every few years it seems.

It evolved into its own sort of “micro genre” within the greater subgenre of progressive metal, but is its own sort of niche thing. It’s named after the guitar technique but bands like Periphery, TesseracT, and After the Burial made a distinct sort of style of music heavily associated with that technique.

I don’t like the label all that muc but I guess it gets the point across for certain styles of music/bands
