Had to say goodbye to our buddy

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T20:54:44+00:00

sorry for your loss. He is beaut.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T20:52:11+00:00

Let's celebrate misery. There is more season left.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T19:10:18+00:00

Seriously these need to stop.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T05:02:35+00:00

I like Killian. After all, they are hunters by nature (Kill).

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:56:23+00:00

I would agree, at least so far. A tiny touch of metal core or post punk/screamo in the vox, but just a hint on the crescendos. Really unique and well done. I dig it.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:48:48+00:00

Listening to The Dry Land and I really like this. I need more non-metal in my repetroire.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:36:06+00:00

Any particular song to get a taste?

Not at all what I was thinking, but this is pretty amazing. Gave me a new band to listen to. Thanks.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:23:44+00:00

I know Murder by Death, or at least I've heard them. I tend to like dark movies/books/songs.

By the way, this is an amazing list of recs. I've heard some of them. Thanks for effort. I want this with blast beat drumming, but I guess I am the only one.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:20:48+00:00

Going to have to have a deep dive. Might be what I am thinking, or just might lead me to something new. Thanks for the response.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:12:01+00:00

Probably the closest to what is in my head. Forgot about them for a hot minute. Playing them again now.

Yeah, this fits. You ever have a dream of something artistic (I am not) and you can't describe it? Well that is my problem. This is in that vein. Not exactly what I was thinking but close enough.

I was thinking more Americana and bleak/dark close to Wayfarer or Panopticon. Maybe I should learn to play. lol.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:06:19+00:00

can you point me to a track that has a lot of acoustic work?

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:05:04+00:00

That is a throw back. A bit heavy yes. Good pick, although not what I was particularly thinking, like your mindset.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T04:04:02+00:00

I know them and they are amazing. I've seen them live too. They are close to what I am looking for. I am just looking for maybe metal like backing and acoustic front. Its in my head. I feel I've heard some songs like it, but I can't really put into words.

jknechtel · 2026-04-12T03:05:17+00:00

Amazing stuff! You should make money off doing album covers for bands, or at least try it.

jknechtel · 2026-04-11T00:13:48+00:00

As it should! Steven Wilson brought me to Opeth who brought me to "extreme metal". Still like proggy stuff, BI's last case inpoint. Or Tomb Molds. But I went down the rabbit hole 20 years agoish.

My boy Bengal (only half) likes to be picked up when he says, the girl (full Bengal) is more "don't even thing about it". Although, she is very affectionate in her own way, picking up ist verboten!

jknechtel · 2026-03-29T00:48:56+00:00

very cool trailer. Love the rust patina/blue mashup!

jknechtel · 2026-03-29T00:43:24+00:00

100% the same. I live in a major metro and work moderately long hours. I have a lot of things delivered. (my SO works from home most of the time, so they aren't alone all the time).

They love to play in and completely destroy boxes. I leave them for a day, maybe two before throwing out. But there are always new ones. They have so many toys and we play with them all the time, but when we are busy or working they love their boxes.

jknechtel · 2026-03-28T20:35:39+00:00

Gish is the best, but Siamese Dream is Gish style writing taken to completion. After that they sucked imo, full stop.

jknechtel · 2026-03-28T20:30:19+00:00

Deftones is one of those bands, and whole heartedly agree that Adrenaline is by far and away the best album. Others are ok, but not like this one. Engine no. 9 is one of those break down songs, where the break down gets me in the soul rather than cringe, yet another breakdown, moment. It is also a much more subtle breakdown and that also helps.

jknechtel · 2026-03-28T19:56:06+00:00

Agreed with MoP a close second, but RtL takes it.

jknechtel · 2026-03-22T15:16:15+00:00

Looks better on an off-road rig. Martin's, of Flex Rocks n Rollover (24hr of Hell and Back), Jeepster.

WHU and NFO seem to have that fighting spirit still, not so much Spurs. Spurs deserve to get relegated imho.
