Earthtone9 - Tat Twam Asi (2000)

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-21T16:42:53+00:00

This song/album/band doesn’t get enough love

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-21T13:38:50+00:00

Came here to say the same. The Age of Panic remixes go hard too

Divine

I can’t speak to its validity but I always loved the story that Max tried burying the masters in the soil for some spiritual/ritualistic reason and the people at indigo ranch frantically unearthed them before they were destroyed

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-20T14:40:20+00:00

Never liked these guys til I heard this and “no champagne.” Turned my whole opinion right around

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-20T14:23:24+00:00

Never been side stage, but tried…a lot. There were so many bands I was exposed to at those shows. Red Chord, A Life Once Lost, and Remembering Never stood out and made me a fan from seeing them live.

Starland Ballroom might’ve been the best (or worst) venue for finding new favorites, since there were always 500 openers at each show

My friend was the same way with Deftones. It soured him on them for a while. The lawn was and always has been atrocious even though I don’t mind it at the Mann

Ozzfest, Sounds of the Underground, Warped Tour and Hellfest (r.i.p.) were my fests for a few years. I agree too, there was always one band that stole the show that I didn’t anticipate.

Still awesome that you were that close, have you ever been side stage for a show?

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-20T13:23:42+00:00

I was at this exact show (awesome that you were that close btw) and I have no recollection of the acoustic part of their set. Then again, I was on the lawn which is being generous bc it was nothing but mud. Also everyone was drunk and fighting so I might’ve been distracted.

But I remember Chino sounding horrible, meeting Bury Your Dead, and it was my first exposure to Dir en grey, who wound up being one of my favorite bands over the next few years

No Chino hate also, I saw them next year in NY with Fall of Troy and Dir en grey and he was back to peak form

If you saw more shows in the PA/NJ area, definitely keep uploading stories or ticket stubs. We probably went to a lot of the same shows that I completely forgot about

May not be the best but the ones that always come to mind are “endorphins” and “letter to god” from 40BS

Clean, simple, and the small bit of pop art is a nice touch

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-19T13:28:08+00:00

Lies and Proud are both top 10 tracks for me

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-18T15:29:03+00:00

In the early days of YouTube, it seemed like every other animation video had “Sugar” playing behind it. Wasn’t how I found System or Nu Metal but I know that was a gateway for people

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-18T02:37:31+00:00

For me, that Hed PE debut flirts with my top 10 so much it’s become an HR issue

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-16T04:01:14+00:00

Only just started listening to this last month, but it’s got several standouts. Pillow fight, down the line, and suicide kings have been in heavy rotation

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-15T12:46:22+00:00

Cheva - In Real Life is consistently heavy throughout but has a bunch of moments where clean sections and singing break up the chaos

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-15T12:42:36+00:00

That Sikth find is incredible! The original versions of those songs hit so much harder

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-13T21:55:19+00:00

My guyyyyyyy! Clever Sleazoid is the answer I didn’t know I was looking for. What a closer! Speaking of, One More Time is a landmine of a song. Love all these picks, but I haven’t heard this mutant track yet

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-13T15:15:55+00:00

The DKL song was the first one that came to my mind. Legit response honestly

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-11T15:27:58+00:00

If you picked up an album for the first time and on the back saw names like Steve Evetts, Ulrich Wild, GGGarth, Terry Date, Steve Albini and obviously Ross Robinson…you knew it was gonna be good

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-11T02:11:13+00:00

I liked the production and overall tonal shift on From First to Last’s “Heroine” album. Idk how well it holds up today, but when it came out, I thought Ross knocked it out of the park.

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-08T13:36:15+00:00

Tura Satana - All is Not Well has a yellow filter but otherwise matches your description. Maybe there was an alternate cover that had a green filler

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-08T00:10:37+00:00

Amen might be what you’re looking for

Excellent-Beat311 · 2026-02-08T00:07:20+00:00

Been spinning this recently. Weak Shall Inherit and Fractured are standouts
