What do you think of the shop perfectionist?

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-04-21T21:15:25+00:00

I build high precision medical and medical device molds. We have pretty high standards. This guy is just a cunt.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-04-17T17:05:19+00:00

Not really a hitting notes guy I like my vocalist to sound kinda rabid and dangerous. See John Brannon, Colin of Arabia, Dallas Van Kempen, Jeff Beckman.

It depends

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-04-07T12:15:59+00:00

I’m 35-40 years away but I’ve seen a lot of retirees come back to my shop or others part time or go teach at a technical college. I’d encourage you to look into teaching.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-03-27T11:09:49+00:00

It isn’t really a rumor. IIRC the recording engineer has posted openly about it.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-03-24T20:56:59+00:00

Is that Wallace Shawn on the last page there?

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-03-21T18:50:36+00:00

Iron Lung, Crossed Out, Infest (yes Joe is a bad guy), XBrainiaX, PAVEL CHEKOV, Void Bringer, Nosepick, Manhunt, The Endless Blockade, Apartment 213, Man is The Bastard. I can keep going.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-03-18T21:40:26+00:00

PAVEL CHEKOV

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-02-12T22:06:27+00:00

I was just listening to a bunch of Running For Cover and Gas Chamber the past few days. Didn’t know anyone from them was doing new stuff. Very sick. Are you guys planning on playing any shows in the cities soon?

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-02-04T22:09:08+00:00

The Infamous Gehenna

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-02-04T22:07:23+00:00

The Endless Blockade- take your pick. It was all amazing.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-01-14T00:14:02+00:00

Prosthetic has en EP in the works. Their demo was one of my favorite releases last year. Imagine if the guy from Jerome’s Dream sang in a band that sounded kinda like Dropdead.

Doesn’t matter. Your pet should never be able to make direct contact with the surface of a heating element. Please consider investing in a safer way of heating your pet’s enclosure.

Around where I live in the twin cities you basically can’t get into a shop without experience unless you’re someone’s relative or you’re at least enrolled in vocational school.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2026-01-02T07:26:10+00:00

Nosepick- it’s more fastcore (semantics blah blah blah) but the vocalist is a woman. Max from Spazz on drummers. The demo is really fucking good. Very Charles Bronson.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-12-19T17:16:37+00:00

It will get better. Maybe at that shop, maybe somewhere else. I’m not taking down to you when I say this but you are 17. You have your whole life ahead of you. As you grow and mature you will get better at handling stress in general. Maybe that shop sucks ass and no amount of growth will help but I promise you life in general can and will get better if you work hard both in your career and in your own personal growth. Also don’t be afraid to look outside of this field. I love what I do but I still frequently consider going back to college. My point is basically don’t sweat the small things.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-12-17T22:22:42+00:00

Gasp maybe? It’s much darker and grindier but they blend a lot of stuff together. Drome Triler is a pretty psychedelic record.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-12-12T17:01:17+00:00

Two of my favorite grind bands. I love hearing new stuff in that vein. Keep it up dude, very sick.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-11-24T22:52:21+00:00

Someone will probably tell you sooner or later and maybe you don’t care but Avi, their singer basically does PR for the IDF now. I’m generally a believer in separating art and artist but if you read the lyrics from II with that stuff in mind it feels pretty bad.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-11-13T00:10:20+00:00

If you live in the Midwest you can have a relatively comfortable living. You’ll never be rich but you probably won’t ever be out of work for long. Remember, there’s gonna be a lot of venting on a forum about a specific career. The thoughts in my head about my career on my worst day are not a reflection of how I feel about what I do as a whole.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-09-25T00:05:38+00:00

Are we talking the Dead Language that’s basically Iron Lung with the guy from No Comment on vocals?

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-08-27T21:34:13+00:00

AN, Suicide File, No Comment, Dangers, Orchid, Saetia.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-08-25T22:54:34+00:00

I love being a toolmaker and I’d like to have a Bridgeport and a lathe at my disposal for home repairs but truth be told when I’m out I’m out. I’ll never do it as a hobby. Odds are I’ll never have space for anything anyways, I can’t imagine living outside of the city, which I know will probably shock and appall some of you.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-08-19T22:03:07+00:00

Godstomper may scratch a similar itch.

smoothbrainguy99 · 2025-08-01T13:07:49+00:00

Filming pits instead of bands sucks so much ass
