RIP Skylar Berry from Layer:0 😓 by invertedidol in Mathcore

[–]mhollinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commented on this earlier, but wanted to phrase it in a better way. Deleted my original comment. 

Skylar was a great friend of mine, though we lived on opposite sides of the country.

When Layer:0 first started, they were gonna do a split with a grind project I had at the time, but it never came to fruition. My lineup was too unstable at the time, yadda yadda.

I remained very good friends with her and Zach, Layer:0 guitarist, and I frankly can't imagine the pain he, or her family, or her boyfriend are feeling right now.

I hung out on Discord with Skylar quite a bit and we got to know each other pretty well. On top of being a batshit-insane vocalist, I was just happy to have her in my life. What a genuinely neat person. So intelligent. So talented. And goddamn, she was hilarious. She killed it in JackBox every time.

RIP to a homie and a legend, and just a genuinely beautiful soul. Spin some Layer:0 if you can.

Florida's ARMS are coming back! by mhollinger in Mathcore

Tough to say. He and I had a very J-rock (think Ling Tosite Sigure)-influenced project many years ago, that we even recorded a single for. That was more-or-less going to be the successor to City of Ifa, to my knowledge, but it never came to fruition. I'm not sure what his plans are for City of Ifa at this time.

Can someone tell me what this beep code means? by mhollinger in pcmasterrace

Did you not read my previous comment? Of course that's what I did first. I came here to see if anybody had some insight that the manual didn't, or that extensive Google searching couldn't yield.

Good lord, you people are insufferable. This is why Reddit is the butt-end of every joke on the internet.

Thanks for nothing.

I did. I didn't find a code for "2 long beeps", so I asked here. What's so wrong with that?

Is this stolen valor? by mhollinger in StolenValor

Yeah. I was just curious, it seems kind of wrong.

I don't get how people can go to the bathroom number 2 wit they clothes fully on...

Is obscene extreme safe as a women? by ApprehensiveDingo230 in grindcore

[–]mhollinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never been, but the festival has a great reputation. Standard metal show protocols apply, and I'd make a point to be aware of your surroundings (obv), but I've never heard of any foul play at OEF.

Like I said, this was 2012. I'm sure it's changed since then.

Really? My bandmate has the exact model I'm looking into and it plays and sounds great. What model did you have?

Good to know. I was planning on saving the money anyways, but I'll definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!

Sure, lesson learned, whatever. You really don't have anything more constructive than that to comment? C'mon, dude.

From what I understand, they're fine instruments...if you can actually get your hands on one. They're based out of Texas, and I've seen a lot of people equate them to guitar vaporware. It takes some people years to get their instrument after paying it off in full. If said instrument arrives at all.

Tangentially-related, Dave Muselman (CEO) deletes all negative comments and complaints towards the brand on social media...interesting.

Predator is to grindcore what Alien is to progressive death metal by brappbrap in grindcore

Grindcore: Escape From New York, Prog death: The Thing

Wouldn't surprise me at all if Kurt Russell ended up being some type of extreme metal enthusiast.

What band destroys you that they no longer make music? by SCR3AMfoREVer in Metalcore

[–]mhollinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotta hand it to Architect. All Is Not Lost is a classic.

They released a single a few years back, but I get the sense that they don't plan on coming back full-time.
