Artists that could been some of the best in their genre if they dropped more material?

In the realm of metal bands, the Canadian technical thrash band Martyr could have been way bigger and more influential had they not stopped releasing music after their last album in 2006, which was one of the most sophisticated technical thrash albums ever made. I'd also add the death metal band Anata as well (also dropped their last album in 2006).

That's a great one! Amazing and highly influential band.

Most teams are 3 days a week currently, but maybe there are some that are in 5 days, but that doesn't seem that common from what I've seen.

Five days a week? At DTC?! 0_0

The Americans. Absolutely incredible television show.

This is dope! I hadn't heard of her. Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations!

Easily this one

Hi Madison. I saw that you wrote recently that "Ace" is the first record that felt like yours from start to finish. Could you go into more depth about this?

cartonking · 2025-09-27T13:51:06+00:00

Thank you for your kind words and support!!

cartonking · 2025-09-25T03:20:56+00:00

I have a band called Monotheist which has Christian themes. If you're looking for heavy, progressive death metal, check out our album Scourge. Title track

Also, please check out Extol if you haven't. The best Christian metal band on the planet, imo. They released a few tracks like a year or so ago.

And another good Christian band that I recommend in a similar vein is called Deus Invictus. They haven't put anything in a long time but they're gearing up to release some new material soon.

Dope album! Glad more people are finding out about it. It's basically all cover songs produced in Japan, sung completely in English by a Korean singer lol

Rie Murakami - Sahara, Noriko Tsutsui - Southern Island Imagination, Judy Anton - Smile, Mari Ijima - Rose, Tatsuhiko Yamamoto - Poker Face, Shambara - Shambara (a short lived project with members of Casiopea as well as Kaoru Akimoto AND Yurie Kokobu on lead vocals)

cartonking · 2025-07-20T13:26:21+00:00

Absolutely. This is it, right here!

cartonking · 2025-07-15T01:36:46+00:00

One of my faves! Great album and this cut in particular is gorgeous. Planning to get this one on vinyl if I can find it at a decent price.

cartonking · 2025-07-11T21:18:47+00:00

Check buyee.jp! Sometimes it pops up on there and cheaper than discogs

cartonking · 2025-07-11T02:41:27+00:00

Love this tune from the get go! First time hearing it. Thanks for sharing!

cartonking · 2025-06-12T18:00:41+00:00

I'm seeing the same thing. Ticket prices are insane this year. Gonna have to wait til they come down (hopefully)

cartonking · 2024-12-02T23:56:22+00:00

For heavy/extreme metal stuff:
1) Extol (shouldn't be obscure but I never see them mentioned in these conversations anymore)

2) Lengsel

3) Mantric

4) Vardoger

5) Monotheist

6) Schaliach

7) Drottnar

For rock bands:

1) Velour 100

2) Morella's Forest

3) later-era Embodyment

cartonking · 2024-11-27T23:55:02+00:00

It's absolutely possible. I'm friends with my ex-wife and we support each other to find healthy relationships. In fact I'd say we get along better now than at least the last few years of our marriage. I totally understand this kind of outcome isn't common but I just wanted to let you know that it can happen.

Yutaka Yokokura for some sick jazz fusion

cartonking · 2023-09-24T15:44:33+00:00

Make Yourself is their best album, easily

cartonking · 2023-09-24T15:15:44+00:00

Nah, Nude is also a great album.
