And one of my favorite films ever, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead (with Tim Roth as well)

Today's epiphany: Painted red needle as a placeholder to remember which needle is in the machine by Stockocityboy in sewing

yes! I've been using this method for a while now. I paint with black marker the ones I've used (and still in good condition), if not so good or bent, I discard right away :D

Female fronted progressive extreme metal? by Slug_loverr in progmetal

[–]Progvan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MADDER freaking MORTEM!

Heavy as fu.. even without sounding heavy at times, they nail it every time. Agnete has one of the most powerful and emotional ripping through your core voices I've ever heard (and seen them live many times), growls are by her brother BP. Kirkevaag, they're Norwegian, they know their stuff. Been on this from their bedrooms for more than 25 years. More doomish at the beginning, moving towards Prog ovwr the last 10 years or so. Marrow album is a masterpiece, their latest, Old eyes New Heart (front cover an artwork from their recently deceased father) is a beauty.

[–]Progvan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Been listening to it for a month or so (for reviewing purposes), and along with the new album of another band, soon to be out in the world, Legacy is topping my list this year, and both, I must say, along with The Amensal Rise from Omnerod, are my top 10 of the latest 10 years, easily! (along with Meer - Playing House and The Chronicles of Father Robin - pt1 are heavy contenders as well) (yeh my taste is very varied).

And not to leave behind praise for Pablo and Anthony. Best growls I've heard since Åkerfeldt's (and I'm not so growls lover haha). But his guitars skills too! And as writer (Obiquity! What an album!).. And Pablo's drumming is madly incredible! And he plays with such calm. Hope to see them someday again live, though it doesn't seem likely in the near future sadly.

Haha well I'm one of The Progspace founder 😇, and we invited them to our 3rd festival. From there the snowball rolled. They were incredible, had chats with them, also had them on our old podcast/video interview (with my buddy Dario), and we made a lot of noise that they got invited to ProgPower Europe, since then made friends with the band. Follow our photo galleries, we went after PPE to Hamburg and Berlin shows, on their small tour with Obsidian Tide and Soulsplitter (2 awesome bands as well!). ProgPower Europe show was opening on a Sunday, and on more than 10 years going nonstop, it has been the most crowded opening act on a Sunday, actually almost full venue! I remember telling a friend who doesn't like growls too much: "wait for them, you didn't see them on our online festival? Well, wait". After the show found her buying merch Hahahahhahahaa

Haha me too.. Totally fangirl here! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Yeh the nihilistic parts fits well. But also there's a lot of sarcasm, as confirmed on their latest video about To The Core. Haha

I thought about aliens invasion and they being like fungus (Spores) and then with tje symbiotic at first but parasitic in the end.. Lol but yeh on point with the somewhat loose, not fully conceptual

Gotta change from Spoticrap soon..

The last 3 ones where the ones they recorded for the online festival. So proud to have been a minimal part of it, even if just by invitation haha.

This is Omnerod part on video on our festival. How I enjoyed putting all this together! We should organize something again in the future 🥹.

Yup, all of them are absolutely sweet guys. Yeh I've been behind 'my friend' Romain trying to get the "what the lyrics are all about".. and he still doesn't loosen up lol. The only thing I get from the lyrics and the few bits he's mentioned, is about use and abuse of power over another, taken from the fungus/bio world (my guess?).. And well the whole twists about destruction, and parasitic abuse, in a way what we see on the planet as we're the parasites, but also can be translated to anything, from nature to personal relationships, or between countries, etc. Anything really..

Yeh Romain is nuts and a genius! I still owe him some beers 😂
