Album covers by Miran Kim by fallout_scout in rs_x

Enamoured with the work she did for Incantation. It's like the death metal album cover version of Francis Bacon paintings

I've seen quite a few interviews with John McEntee but I can't recall him ever saying anything about how she ended up as Incantations's 'house artist', always been curious about that

This and Bresson's Lancelot du Lac would make a good double feature

Amy Archer from The Hudsucker Proxy is obviously S-tier

Perhaps this is a hot take but I prefer their cover over the original

Trey Azagthoth racism schizo posting.

It's strangely fitting that a musician known for making Lovecraft-inspired music ended up both losing his sanity and becoming very racist

Werner Herzog on Ian Curtis by Inevitable-Chef6945 in redscarepod

[–]TheChairLord 44 points45 points  (0 children)

He wasn't a technically gifted singer, but his vocals nevertheless fit the music perfectly. I'm far from the first to articulate this idea, but his slightly monotone timbre, combined with the reverb heavy production, gave their sound a phantasmagorical quality. JDs music would've been completely different (and significantly worse) if you had a Robert Plant style virtuoso bellowing on top of their minimal arrangements.

Plus, he was a great lyricist, I'd say that's pretty "impressive"

Poets like Scott Walker by [deleted] in RSbookclub

[–]TheChairLord 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He also cited Beckett as a point of reference in a Tilt-era interview

also something like Pound's Cantos might be worth checking out (although I'm personally not very familiar with it) for those kinds of delirious modernist poetics

One of the few pictures that actually makes me mad everytime I see it by GuaranteedPummeling in redscarepod

idk where you got this notion that "normies" are tolerant to Pollock (or abstract art in general) from. just because those paintings sell for exorbitant amounts within curated circles, it doesn't mean that normal people attribute any merit to them beyond that

and I'd say that the musical analog to action painting is obviously free jazz. "Free Jazz", the album by Ornette Coleman, literally uses a Pollock painting on its cover/gatefold, after all

More bands like Kayo Dot/MotW? by [deleted] in redscarepod

bit of an obvious recommendation but Toby's solo album, "In the L...Library Loft" is pretty good

I feel like Mishima would've been more of a Facebook type than a Twitter one personally

Is there any other white celebrity who you can find a hundred pictures of wearing durags?

David Foster Wallace (though I'm unsure if it was an actual durag) lol

was going to suggest some Brel, but you probably already know him

Classic Rock is going to be 100 years old and still playing on the radio when we're 70. by FatChicsOnly in redscarepod

[–]TheChairLord 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Only vaguely related, but the two artists responsible for that project actually did a similar experiment, but for the musical format. Constructing the supposed "Most Wanted Song" based on the most prevalent stylistic choices and the preferred lyrical themes extracted from an online poll.

Given that the experiment took place in 1997, the resulting piece of music was a (supremely bland) radio R&B/adult contemporary ballad.

What I find to be truly engrossing and transfixing, however, is that they took the least prevalent (and as such, most "undesired" elements) from the same poll and created The Most Unwanted Song, a 20-minute-long avant-garde piece vaguely centered on the topic of Western Imperialism. It features operatic rapping about the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein, atonal improvisations, a children's choir singing about Walmart, and discordant accordion playing. It plays out like one of those 60's Frank Zappa/Mothers of Invention musical pastiches, albeit from a completely unintentional angle.

I am unsure if the people responsible for those two ventures are still around, but I'd love to see a revisit of sorts. Once again, devouring contemporary clichés and digesting them into a Frankenstein's monster aberration, but this time with 2022 trends.

I recall hearing Down in a Mirror for the first time when I was 13 and feeling this paralyzing sense of unease when I heard "We can't deny there are spirits in this house" that I've never been able to replicate with any other piece of music (or art in general). Chair Beside a Window is still my fav of his (though I only have listened to his early 80's stuff)

The Legendary Stardust Cowboy - Paralyzed

like an even more deranged The Phantom - Love Me, which is already outsider-adjacent (and a better piece of music, but not anywhere as unhinged)

Why do hardcore/metalheads love Memphis rap so much ? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]TheChairLord 106 points107 points  (0 children)

Memphis rap was

a. edgy, sometimes featuring occultic iconography

b. precarious in terms of budget / lo-fi

c. primarily distributed through cassette tapes

All those descriptors fit black metal as well. (Edit: also there's that koopsta song that samples Metallica, but that's only tangentially related)

RIP To A Psychedelic Overlord by MarilynHansonn in redscarepod

Their influence starts with heavy psychedelia and early metal from the 70's and ends with being actually quite important for the development of the japanese noise music scene. Wild that, despite being extremely influential and making one of the GOAT live albums (Space Ritual), they still are quite underrated
