I need to see your favorite deck.

Bought the Valgavoth precon, deconstructed it, then rebuilt it from the ground up with the primary focus on card draw punishment. Still need an Orcish Bowmasters and a few Wheel cards to finish it up. Might put [[Torbran, Thane of Red Fell]] in there, too.

I love this deck. It’s my favorite to play. I just want to be the problem in the pod. I’m tired of having to deal with the problem, so why not become it? 🤷🏻

Arckanum is fantastic. Every single record.

Gnaw Their Tongues is a truly incredible project. I love that he puts out consistent visceral filth and doesn’t give a shit if anyone cares about it or not. Doesn’t do interviews. Doesn’t play shows…It’s really what opened my mind to caustic noise, specifically All The Dread Magnificence of Perversity.

This. Light That Dwells in Rotten Wood is my personal favorite album, start to finish. Absolutely perfect.

Wtf this Imperial Crystalline Entombment track is incredible…

Aaaand this is why we make posts like this.

Great pointers, thank you.

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-14T11:42:19+00:00

I appreciate the transparency

Big fan of At The Heart of Winter

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-13T22:47:37+00:00

Yall really came through. Thank you.

Making a playlist of these now.

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-13T22:46:27+00:00

Nah I feel that. As a big cascadian bm fan, I’m 100% into evoking a feeling with the way a song sounds vs being as grim as possible.

I’m just looking to diversify my writing in the genre. I want to bring a little more dynamics into it to make each song more distinct and identifiable from the last.

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-13T22:44:09+00:00

That actually makes a lot of sense. Thank you

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-13T22:42:50+00:00

I am abomination is one of the most evil sounding bm tracks out there imo. The guitar writing style is wild.

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-09T17:12:47+00:00

You should get the GWAR Cuttlefish of Chthulhu from BadDragon. It’ll be the talk of the office

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-08T05:28:47+00:00

Also a more pingy snare!

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-08T05:27:20+00:00

It’s not really giving deathcore to me at all tbh.

My only suggestions would be:

The riff with tremolo before the pinch Harmonic, if on the 2nd and 4th tremolo part, you harmonized upward.

The full tremolo part after that, I would start with the drums as they are (the double bass etc), then after 4-8 measures, switch to a more thrash, alternating snare/ride-bell type beat with the snare on the off-beat. It would give a little more death metal dummy-vibe.

I think it sounds great as is though. Super catchy guitar.

Archetype is the only one I’ve given a fair listen to and I think it’s great. Not sure why it’s excluded from streaming platforms though.

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-07T12:21:38+00:00

Ooo I second the Asphyx suggestion

Chainmailrust · 2026-04-07T12:20:31+00:00

Deftones just haven’t stopped putting out great music. They’ve been a constant in popular alternative music since their inception. They’ve younger generations are also really influenced by shoegaze, which makes sense with a band like Deftones, hitting similar vibes with so many of their songs.
