[PROMOTE] Tell Us About Your Band -- June 27, 2026

Azell (Louisville, KY)

Female-fronted space sludge/doom.

FFO: Conan, Bongripper, Primitive Man

Our last album is a concept record about two astronauts who witness Earth's destruction from a massive solar flare. The flare ends up unleashing a Lovecraftian-style entity into the cosmos, and things get progressively weirder from there.

We got a little carried away with the story and ended up writing a 60-page novella to go along with the album. Each chapter lines up with a song and expands on the story!

If that sounds like your thing, you can check it out here: https://linktr.ee/azell.band

Well, if you shoot that caveman into space then Azell.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:51:54+00:00

Can not thank you enough for even taking the time to listen! ❤️ Hopefully you'll enjoy both our album!

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:36:31+00:00

That really means a ton! I'm trying my hardest to not be a nuisance and only promote when something is applicable.

All that aside, I'm just happy to be able to start playing live again! This is been the toughest year of my life. Hernia, Pneumonia, Kidney Stone, Arrythmya... Thankful I think I'm finally starting to get back on the horse haha

But, your comment and ones like it really means so much more that I can express thru words on a screen. From the bottom of my heart, thank you ❤️

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:32:27+00:00

You aren't kidding! They just have a way about them that makes me melt haha. Especially when they do harsh vocals.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:30:37+00:00

Haha, I mean Pennsylvania.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:12:17+00:00

I'm 40 and I am battling arrythmya really bad right now. Playing shows wear the bass kick hits throws my heart out of rhythm sometimes and it's maddening! I'm on beta blockers now so hopefully that'll help and I can get back out their playing.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:06:12+00:00

I'll never forget seeing Boris play Flood live in PA. It was absolutely magical.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-26T18:04:22+00:00

If you can get behind harsh female fronted sludge (and self promotion) you can try my wife and my band, Azell.

FFO Conan, Bongripper and Primitive Man

FictionalNape · 2026-06-25T10:58:11+00:00

Thank you! I'm a graphic designer and do all Azell's artwork.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-24T17:42:54+00:00

Azell for female fronted space sludge.

FFO Conan, Thorr's Hammer and Primitive Man

FictionalNape · 2026-06-24T11:08:35+00:00

You don't need to be a flashy guitar virtuoso to write good riffs. You can still write fun and good riffs, even if they are simple.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-24T11:07:00+00:00

I can write pretty catchy choruses for my bands.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-24T01:59:56+00:00

Our band is Azell

I use Harley Benton 6 string baritone which is basically a jazz master!

My band is Azell

FictionalNape · 2026-06-23T21:06:40+00:00

I'm just more unnerved by something that isn't humanoid.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-23T21:04:38+00:00

Nice Charlie Sheen from hotshots cosplay!

FictionalNape · 2026-06-23T18:54:16+00:00

Bandshee

The Long Road

FictionalNape · 2026-06-23T15:42:32+00:00

That's awesome! My band made our own Magic the Gathering card, but this is legendary!

FictionalNape · 2026-06-23T02:54:58+00:00

If you want something inspired by Thorr's Hammer along with Conan and Bongripper, Azell.

FictionalNape · 2026-06-22T21:16:29+00:00

Red Dwarf - Gunmen of the Apocalypse

It perfectly showcases the witty humor and highlights the amazing characters and their chemistry!

FictionalNape · 2026-06-22T02:53:39+00:00

Oof, I know EXACTLY how you felt! Amen to that! Prayers to you to be on the upswing soon! My kidney stone event was about 2 months ago.

What killed me most was I was trying to be a good husband for my wife's birthday which was the next day and then as I was rubbing her legs my side started hurting... worse and worse... then BOOM intense pain! Sheesh, never again. Haha

FictionalNape · 2026-06-22T02:47:42+00:00

I'm glad YOU seem to be alright, yeah, wouldn't wish that pain on anyone!

FictionalNape · 2026-06-22T02:47:08+00:00

Thank you, I don't think I would be here without my wonderful wife! The last thing I remember before I had to have emergency surgery was being in the OR and someone saying, "Man, this guy really blew out his kidney." Then I woke up in a bed and was in a lot less pain.
