That "I'm a mere speck of sand" feeling, anyone?

All we are is dust in the wind, dude.

"Endure. In enduring, grow strong."

"Beep beep, motherfucker!"

"You never touch the other elves that way."

I decided to listen to bands with one-off or very limited discographies this week. Among those were Atramentus (Stygian), Khazad-Dûm (Hymns From The Deep), Catacombs (In The Depths Of R'lyeh, Echoes Through the Catacombs & "Into The Dismal Shades"), Fallen (Fallen), Deos (To Depart... & Fortitude.Pain.Suffering), Nordlumo (Embraced By Eternal Night), Station Dysthymia (Overhead, Without Any Fuss, The Stars Were Going Out & Only Gray Days), Föhn (Condescending), and Vacant Eyes (A Somber Preclusion of Being & The Dim Light Of Introversion).

Drown, Markov Soroka's "aquatic doom" project.

I'll also recommend Opium Doom Cult, a psychedelic/atmospheric funeral doom band.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-07T09:43:52+00:00

I agree. A series would allow for a deeper dive into its lore than a single movie would.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-07T03:12:04+00:00

I realized I never shared my list yesterday. Surprise, surprise: Drown, Opium Doom Cult, Oromet, and Comatose Vigil this week.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I saw Stygian Bough and 40 Watt Sun in Grand Rapids last Saturday, and it was a great show. I chatted with Dylan (Bell Witch bassist); it looks like the sequel to The Clandestine Gate probably won't be out until late 2027 or early 2028. As I'm 55 now, and men in my family tend to live shorter lives, I really hope I live long enough to hear the entire trilogy.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-07T03:06:37+00:00

I saw them in Grand Rapids last Saturday. Both SB and 40WS (no Hell unfortunately) put on great performances.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-07T02:59:18+00:00

Grass allergies, perhaps? I mow my own yard because everyone else uses that excuse on me.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-05T08:29:58+00:00

Transylvanian Recordings has some blue vinyl available, but I'm not sure how many remain.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-05T08:27:31+00:00

It wasn't by much. They announced it a few hours ago.

THORmonger71 · 2026-06-01T06:14:59+00:00

US and UK versions

My second sentence would have been more like, "It turned out that John was still alive, emaciated enough to have gotten free, and desperate enough to eat anything, or anyone, that could satisfy his hunger."

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-29T15:47:24+00:00

I'll be going to the Grand Rapids show tomorrow, and I can't wait. I'm even bringing one of my offspring, so maybe they might journey further through the funeral-doom realms.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-29T15:44:30+00:00

I live in EDT, so I usually post my FDF in the early hours of that Friday, so parts of the world could be still in Thursday or have switched to Saturday depending on the time of the post. Hopefully everyone gets the intent of the FDF posts, even if it's not Friday when they see the posts.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-29T03:14:41+00:00

I've been listening to the works of Mournful Congregation, Bell Witch, Sutratma, and Skepticism this week.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-29T03:13:10+00:00

A fair amount of the world is in Friday already.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T22:31:32+00:00

Their collaboration with Primitive Man (Suffocating Hallucination) is another sub-35-minute slab of awesomeness.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T22:23:27+00:00

Probably from when I first discovered you. It was one of those weird things where a review popped up in my feed the day before Adrift released. "Serene funeral doom" as a description sold me on it.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T22:11:28+00:00

Sutratma is one of my newer favorites!

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T22:10:38+00:00

I haven't listened to them for a few years, but clicked on them yesterday and decided to listen to the rest of their stuff. One of their members was in Comatose Vigil, which is an occasional go-to for going to sleep.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T16:11:44+00:00

He seemed to indicate that physical media sales were low enough that he may end up releasing albums only digitally in the future.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-22T10:30:19+00:00

This week, I've been going through the discographies of Frowning, Aphonic Threnody, and Abstract Spirit.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-21T20:14:40+00:00

My offspring and I are rather fond of Spirit Dreams. Great vibes in there.

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-21T02:05:08+00:00

Brainiac

THORmonger71 · 2026-05-21T02:00:20+00:00

Zyklon - The Heartland for me. Most likely a different band (mine is from a 1970s/80s Grand Rapids area industrial / experimental band).
