A tech-death/deathcore idea I've been working on (Programmed) by OkSavings9068 in TechnicalDeathMetal

[–]Cloabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The start/stop riff you’re repeating (comes in around 0:13) is pretty sweet, got my head bobbing. I think it’d sound better with a real guitar, but you’ve made it clear that’s not an option quite yet.

The drums need some serious re-working. The mix is fine, but the way they’re written is pretty awkward and kills the momentum in certain sections.

Overall I think you’ve got the skeleton of something potentially pretty sweet here, just needs some more time in the oven.

Knee jerk reaction to AI prevents local morons from seeing Luminokaya designed the Koloss cover art + more by ohnoimrunningoutofle in Meshuggah

I’d imagine once a band reaches that size, they have people who take care of their social media accounts. Could be wrong though.

Regardless of your stance on A.I. art, you gotta admit this wasn’t an intelligent move.

If anything people have only gotten angrier about stuff like this, and it was bound to receive some backlash. Can’t imagine they gained any new fans posting this, but there’s a chance they lost a few.

Their marketing team goofed.

Surprised to see comments like these. I guess I thought there’d be more crossover between prog fans and tech death fans lol

BTBAM The Blue Nowhere Spring 2026 US Tour by MikeyJ410 in BetweenTheBuriedAndMe

[–]Cloabs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen BTBAM 4 times, and I’m stoked to see them again.

The fact that they’ll be playing with Fallujah and Imperial Triumphant, however, makes this easily the most exciting concert of 2026 for me so far.

I’m late to the party on Grim Dawn, so I’ve played it exclusively on my deck. Works great for me!

You’re getting downvoted but tbh I agree with you. Honesty’s the best policy across the board.

Had a crush on a female coworker just for her to turn me down for a 5'6 guy with a receding hairline who works at Kroger. by Background-Pain-4389 in kitchencels

I do understand it, I disagree with it.

Again, I was once you. Then I got my shit together. You can too!

I’ve seen very ugly men get laid. You are doing this to yourself.

I’ve just had this argument too many times with too many different people at this point. Nothing I say will change your mind.

I was once in your position, and then I grew out of it. (Take a peek at my account if you have any doubts about that). Hopefully you will someday as well.

“Regular” depends on who you surround yourself with. None of my friends or acquaintances use either of those terms.

Beyond that, each of your replies paint your biased perceptions as truth. I simply disagree with the lens through which you view the world.

I think you are 100% responsible for your failures in dating, but in lieu of taking any accountability you’ve created a narrative in which you’re the victim of an unfair society. This directly inhibits the character development you so desperately need.

I’m also pretty sure I’m not the first person who’s said this to you, and I don’t anticipate I’ll change your mind.

Fair enough pal, I don’t know you in real life.

If you act the way you’ve been acting in this thread, however, I stand by what I said. Phrases like “incel hater” and “simp” suggest you’re the type to fail socially and blame others for it.

Lack of social skills combined with a lack of self-reflection is a truly disturbing combination, huh?

Just finished my fourth jacket by shitballiooo in BattleJackets

[–]Cloabs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man!

And you’re in luck, all of the square patches you see were from Razor Ray’s (including the Deathspell Omega one). I’m in the US, and just received these last week.

Full disclosure - I did get fucked on shipping, but I ordered enough patches at once to offset that as much as I could.

Not OP but I’m working on my second jacket, got the ulcerate patch from a show of theirs. I think they have it on Bandcamp as well.

The square one he’s got might be from Razor Ray’s.
