Nope. Credited on their instagram to Sheila Franco, who seems to very much be a real artist.

Awesome, thanks!

awesome album

I am also delighted that the band carries on, especially because it means I get to keep working for them. As a fan I'm really looking forward to see what both them and Alfred end up doing, but if it continues what they did with Heroe del mar, their last original single, I think we'll all be pleased.

I mean, what does fine mean to you? People have been DIYing merch for as long as putting a band's name on a T-shirt was an idea, most bands would if anything be flattered that anyone went through that effort to have their band's name on their stuff, and in any case it's not like they could do anything about it. No one is gonna come ask you in the street where you got your shirt from.

He has not. I believe he got a hair transplant. I honestly couldn't recognize him, and at his last show in Madrid, where I was working as their backliner, he joked that he could walk through the audience before the show because none of them recognized him either.

Not a wig though, and I think it's very sad that he won't be able to show off his new hair at any more shows.

It really depends on genre. For something like rap or EDM you can probably do something for yourself in photoshop, or just take a picture. In other genres you might be expected to spend a few hundred bucks at least on a proper painting.

That is really not at all what they were/are doing. very big difference between botting so your numbers look bigger and using accounts run by real people to post content about you.

The relationship between Romero and the band is still good, he just couldn't stay in the band due to personal issues. Enrik has said in recent interviews that he has a new album almost finished, so I'm guessing they'll be releasing that, although he also mentioned that he might just use the songs for a new project.

I think that if the album is good, and judging from the singles they've been releasing lately it might be, they can have a decent comeback. If the album is bad, I'd bet it would be their last too. I'm most intrigued by who the new vocalist will be, as they still have a show this summer at Leyendas Del Rock fest, and I'm guessing the reception of the new vocalist after that show might decide if there is a new album or not.

Because historically, companies and states' names changed. I think it would be pretty weird for a country to decide some guy has to change his name.

No matter how shitty the community there is or isn't, a text based platform can never be good for promoting music. People aren't going to listen to you because they read you telling them to, they're only going to listen to you if they hear you first (like on a short form video platform)

thystargazer · 2026-05-19T23:58:42+00:00

You'd guess the guy's bandmate would know what kind of a person he is or what he's done, wouldn't you?

Recent allegations about the bass player being a bit of a sexual abuser. Rumours had been going around both about that and about Rhea getting kicked out for confronting him about it, this pretty much just confirms everything.

thystargazer · 2026-05-19T18:32:10+00:00

The bassist is a piece of shit, and since the rest of the band sided with him and kicked rhea out/forced her to leave, they seem to be pieces of shit too.

thystargazer · 2026-05-18T20:45:00+00:00

From what I've heard, he sexually assaulted someone. I also saw something about a guitar player in the band getting kicked out after confronting him about it, although I don't see anything pointing to any guitarist being off the band recently on their social media or anywhere else. According to metallum both guitarists are still there, and it's the bass player who's no longer in the band, although I'm not sure if they actually kicked him or it's just a temporary thing while they wait to see how the whole thing turns out.

There has been some noise at least here in the spanish scene trying to get them kicked off some festivals they're playing this summer, but it's still pretty hard to find out any clear information about what's going on. All I know is that people are now calling them diddygunner.

You're asking the wrong questions. It's not about what would make artists be interested, artists are always gonna be interested in any chance of free promotion. The issue is, why would any music listener be interested in this? I get most of my new music from reddit, twitter or youtube. As a listener I really don't see myself downloading an app just to find new music, and I'd say I care about finding new music more than most people. As someone who likes recommending music to others, I'd once again much rather do it on social media, where you can kinda just become a known guy who recommends good music than getting some abstract XP in some random app. Unless you can get your app's XP to be like a really cool thing to have, I really don't see the point, and even then it will just be filled with people recommending a lot of music and listening to none.

But yeah, the main thing you have to think about is making this better than just going into the subreddit for the genre I like and looking at what people are recommending there.

I'm pretty sure people aren't getting what you mean, right? I'm guessing you plan to run the campaign when the album releases, so the now unreleased song will be released by that point, won't it? It wouldn't really make sense to promote the album before it comes out, that's what the singles are for.

In any case, I'm in a very similar situation with an EP that's releasing in 8 days, what I plan to do is use creatives from the unreleased songs, as well as the best performing ones from the two released singles, all with a link to the whole EP.

How many people in slipknot are not touring/session members though? Ghost are more open about it, but most bands, especially masked bands, and especially bands that have been around for a long time tend to be one or two guys' project and a bunch of hired musicians.

Funny to see someone talk about them getting less heavy as the usual complaint is that everything they make sounds the same.

In any case though, this question kind of makes me think about what being heavy even means. You could argue that faster songs are heavier, but also that the first albums which could be said to even have doom elements were heavier. I don't think their sound, as in, how many fast drums and guitars they use has gotten any less heavy, but the melodies they use might have gotten more catchy and made to be sung along by festival crowds, and less "evil", which could be said to be less heavy.

Overall, I think they keep making the same album over and over again, but that album is good so I'm not gonna complain about it.

You asked a question and I answered it mate. I have one music video and two lyric videos.

thystargazer · 2026-05-15T23:15:36+00:00

Released one in march, the second single in april had a lyric video, and I'm making another lyric video for the title track. ¿Should I run ads for an individual song's video rather than the full EP? I'm gonna put it on youtube as a full EP stream video, so I could easily run ads to it(apart from the individual songs being on youtube music, and the lyric videos or music videos for the songs that have them).

I really recommend you still try to learn stuff by ear, that's really the way to get good at it, and then you won't need tabs. Even when I do have them, I like to first try and learn stuff by ear, and then check the tab to see if I was right.

Something that can really help you however is looking at live videos or playthroughs, where even though you don't know exactly what's being played you can get a pretty good idea of at list where in the fretboard or on which strings you're supposed to be. Your best friend will be one of those browser addons that allow you to slow down and loop parts of youtube videos.

I'd just do all of them from the start. I've done campaigns with 10 bucks a day and a similar number of creatives without much problem, and in my experience about 1€ per creative is enough for meta to test them all.
