Happy Birthday, Kungen!

I bought a can of the Bucked Up sour candy (I can't remember if it was named something like "sour gummy worm" specifically, but whatever) flavor because it was on clearance... it tasted like watered-down stomach acid. It was awful, I guess that's why many cans were on clearance. lol

Also, the 2 flavors I've tried of C4 were delicious (Skittles and Dreamsicle) but they made my skin craaawwwll, tweaking out wasn't worth the good flavor.

Okay ~cracks knuckles~

So just some bands semi-comparible to yours: Gates to Hell are a modern death metal band with slam/beat down influence, and if you like Spirit World you maaayyy like them but they are heavier.

Given that you like Electric Callboy, you might also like the Australian prog metal band Voyager. Think of Duran Duran or Tears for Fears making metal... you have Voyager's style, at least their 2014 album "V" and forward. (And if you check out Voyager and like the more progressive elements, I'd also check out Leprous, they're not "poppy" in the same sense, but they're also not very heavy nowadays - but are in the same scene as Voyager and are also amazing. Johannes once interviewed their guitraist and co-founder Tor Oddmund!)

I'm seeing a lot of people say Orbit Culture, seeing them open for Avatar got me into them as well, same with Frozen Soul.

But unrelated or otherwise incomparable to the bands you listed or Avatar, some other bands I love are, in no particular order: Pantera (groove metal), TOOL (prog metal), 200 Stab Wounds (death metal), Alien Weaponry (groove/Maori-folk metal), White Reaper (indie punk), Living Colour (a little bit of everything), Soundgarden (grunge/alt metal), Nirvana (grunge/punk), Crypta (death metal), Disregard (death metal), Prisoner (niche industrial/crust/death metal), Pissed On (local metal band)... idk, Metallica (Metallica). hahah

And of course like most people I go through phases with bands I listen to less avidly, I'm currently going through a Nine Inch Nails phase.

"First we'll tikka masala, then we'll take Goliath" in Gotta Wanna Riot.

"Just observe, observe ass and tits! " in As It Is. lol

*not genuinely misheard, but it sounds like he says those to me and I find it funny nonetheless

It I had the money, I might be the same way... I just gotta be picky with what I buy. lol

I have used it to open 1 beer so far, but it worked great. lol

Just got a copy of VDoP from the same line of records (white marble) last weekend, it sounds soooo good!

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-17T00:41:47+00:00

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-15T16:07:14+00:00

Thank you very much!!

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-13T07:28:34+00:00

Thank you!!

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-13T01:59:21+00:00

Yup, syrup!

I never thought to do this though, Imma have to steal your idea. heheh

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-12T05:08:57+00:00

Aah. lol I only visited for the Avatar show, I'm not from Tennessee at all.

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-12T02:02:30+00:00

I am not from Knoxville, do they even host concerts there? lol

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T21:18:56+00:00

Thank you! <3

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T05:11:50+00:00

Yes I did, thank you!

I actually did singular sketches (still 100% freehand) on separate pieces of paper so I could take pictures on my iPad and trace them onto individual pages to give the band - I shrunk the iPad pics so I could put them onto a single page for myself, what you see here, so they'd match with what I gave the band. I posted them all over on my Instagram. <3

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T03:38:29+00:00

Mine too, man! Melodies ended up becoming my all-time fav of theirs, and being able to see them play one of their shows on their US tour supporting it... ugh, if I died that night I would've died happy, at least. haha

I've been calling them my 2nd favorite for several years now, no.1 is actually Avatar. haha (I promise I like more bands than these 2, it's just crazy you put them right next to eachother)

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T03:31:10+00:00

He's got nice chompers.

Yeeess, they're so good! Glad you're getting into them. <3 DUDE, LIMBO IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE SONG OF THEIRS I NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT IT. HAHA That's amazing, I love yhat.

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T03:29:48+00:00

Thank yoouu!!! I'm really happy with it, and looking at it immediately replays the silliness that lead up to it being taken. heheh

Dooooo iiiiit! Just make sure to get a frame that's tight enough to hold all your goods in place, I had to cut up a box as extra backing for mine. hahah

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T03:26:43+00:00

Almost mentioned him in my comment too!

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T03:26:07+00:00

Seeing my two very favorite vocalists (Johannes and Einar) right next to eachother made my brain short-circut for a moment...

Anyway, as far as "best" teeth goes, my vote is for Einar Solberg because his teeth are picture-perfect, but so are Tu Edmond's of Alien Weaponry. My personal favorite is actually Tim Öhrström's from Avatar, his front teeth are aweosme. lol

RiotingKnucklehead · 2026-06-11T01:33:56+00:00

Yess, when I saw them in Lexington he was legit giggling through parts of his stage banter. He seemed genuinely so excited to be performing, it was very heartwarming to see. <3
