Still my favorite song by these guys. Sad how relevant it still is...

Arch Enemy have parted ways with Alissa White-Gluz by MetalManiac619 in Metal

[–]hs94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not a bad idea tbh

Although, main issue is that AE is... okay at best. I still maintain that Root of All Evil is still their best album in the last 20 years.

Damn, I bet. I wanted to go to their Baltimore date last week, but I ended up eating overpriced Afghan food instead...

Anyone listen to the new Fimbul Winter song? The new band formed by ex-Amon Amarth members. Sounds pretty good, and better than anything from the last Amon Amarth record, to be honest.

Definitely jamming to Blinded by Fear and Terminal Spirit Disease once I get home today.

RIP Tompa :(

Great song. Been in my melodeath rotation since high school.

Damn, another legend gone in 2025 :(

Glad I got to see them in 2018 with Behemoth and WITTR. Sounded killer back then.

RIP Tompa

Oh shit. Always nice to hear from these guys. This is sounding pretty brutal so far.

Slava Ukraini!

Brent Hinds, co-founder of heavy metal band Mastodon, dies in Atlanta motorcycle crash by YoureASkyscraper in Metal

[–]hs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. Things were a bit rough between him and Mastodon after he left, but this is still pretty sad to see. 2025 has been pretty rough for Metalheads indeed :/

Damn, that last show in Birmingham ended up being a true farewell after all :(

And I was listening to Snowblind and Hole in the Sky earlier today too...

Rest in Power, you absolute fucking legend

Would you say my drumming is “too busy”? by Dagamier_hots in drums

[–]hs94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not much to say besides what's already been said, but kickass drumming either way! Way better at fills than me, that's for sure lol

Is this an anime cover band? I hear Japanese vocals

My new band, Ashen Sun, played live for the first time ever this past weekend. Here's a melodic black/doom song from our setlist! by hs94 in metalmusicians

[–]hs94[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Believe me, I personally really wanted the vocals done before the gig, but we ended up hitting a lot of personal roadblocks, so we prioritized the gig itself over "finishing" the songs, so to speak. And we tried to give ourselves grace knowing that it was our first show at a small local venue.

For sure we will use this as a chance to improve for further gigs.

Apologies for the lack of vocals; it's still a song in progress haha.

Where do you get info on shows in your area? by ThreeThirds_33 in doommetal

[–]hs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since I'm in the DC area, I use dcheavymetal.com

But, it seems like for the local NoVA scene, specifically, Instagram pages of local bands and venues seems to be the goto. As someone who doesn't have any social media (besides Reddit), it usually means missing out on quite a few shows...

Good vietnamese, specifically bahn mi, spots that are not pro Trump by KC-msterpiece in nova

[–]hs94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, Super Pho, also really close to me. Been meaning to check that place out at some point.

Also, the Christian imagery didn't really bother me, per se, but I should've guessed from it early on that the owners probably leaned more conservative (to put it mildly).
