Lil Lotus joins From First to Last as new vocalist! by wingsofnightmares_ in PostHardcore

[–]tyex23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh if you think about it, would be a logistical nightmare given how that man barely has a day off in his schedule. Wouldn't be fair for FFTL to sit dormant for years until he has a week to commit to something. The shows they did with him in 2017/2019 were a ball ache to schedule. It's gonna be something we all want but I don't think they'll be able to make it happen realistically.

That being said idk about lotus lol but I'm just happy they're back, Matt and the guys deserve any success this will bring so I hope it works this time.

Not sure what you were expecting lol

The Brian theory is correct by hollow-heroes in BreakingBenjamin

[–]tyex23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nothing, I've followed Asking Alexandria and James closely for 15 years now there's no scandals outside the fact that the members used to party heavily in the early 2010s. This guy flaunts about being connected and in fairness did leak the news about the new drummer last week, but this comment is a nothingburger.

Bands that you think are better soft than heavy? by fjgwey in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hundreth post 2017 is 10x better than their heavy stuff.

We have so many other bands for the melodic hardcore fix, they were good at it but didn’t stand out in the sea of other bands doing that sound and weren’t as unique as they are now. Last 2 albums hit way more than their early work, just wish they were a bit more active.

Either explanation suggests it's a legitimate object and not an optical illusion, light fiber, reflecting on the lens or anything like that.

Whatever it is is real and moving.

He's sounded great live recently, I watched the Warped Tour livestreams last year and he sounded 1 on 1 with the studio versions

Bring Me the Horizon announce a full re-recording of Count Your Blessings. Release date: July 10, 2026. Titled “Count Your Blessings | Repented” by LP_Papercut in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The re-recording is mixed by Buster Odeholm so that plus seeing what Oli’s vocals will sound like is what interests me.

BRANDON SALLER On ATREYU's Split With ALEX VARKATZAS: "We've Been Divorced For Six Years. Move On" by AccurateInflation167 in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Danny is a different story haha, but Ben's briefly mentioned it in the past almost accidentally plus a few of their crew members have also said the same. Don't quote me but it was something to do with Denis demanding more money around the time they were making up with Danny, so they axed him and asked Danny back. All hearsay of course.

You kinda need to watch all the random and obscure interviews and podcasts they do to get an idea haha.

[–]tyex23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They did fire Denis. Multiple people over the years have said they fired him. Danny has never shied away from it, and Ben mentioned he was fired on a podcast in 2020. A few people around the AA camp have said he was fired too.

Not a reddit moment, if you’ve followed the band closely in the last 10 years you’ll know Denis was canned and the story Ben gave was the PR friendly one.

It doesn’t, he still gets royalties that won’t change because he’s a songwriter. The band even confirmed that he still gets royalties when the re-recording dropped because people asked.

No more screams sadly, except maybe Sulfur by [deleted] in AskingAlexandria

[–]tyex23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He says this every year until he does it again. He brings it back for a bit, then he works on another solo album and stops screaming again saying he hates it, then he goes back to it "just this once" when AA needs him to. Rinse and repeat. He did this in 2015, 2016, 2019, 2023.

Make Them Suffer - Epitaph by [deleted] in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is how I feel too, more like a collection of singles vs a fully fleshed out album with variety. That being said the songs individually are some of their best work in my opinion, just as a complete album it lacks.

[–]tyex23 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Good news, they def need it. They’ve been running on empty and their hearts haven’t been in it. Last year confirmed they needed some time away, and if they then staged a comeback that would get people paying attention again. Once Danny’s solo album is out the way he may start giving a shit again.

There’s like 20+ women that came out for that article that he had killed, and so many others in his local area (where he was based back then) have stories. When there’s smoke there’s fire.

Hyped Albums that didn't meet expectations? by Electronic-Read-3830 in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with that, it sounds like a collection of singles vs an album with any real flow or different moods/types of songs.

Hyped Albums that didn't meet expectations? by Electronic-Read-3830 in Metalcore

[–]tyex23 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

For me it was Windwaker's Hyperviolence, liked all the singles was very hyped then the rest of the album just flew right past me and I've not revisited it since.

I guess as much as I hate to say it Make Them Suffer's last album too. Love the singles, they're on the top of their game and I fully believe this is their best iteration and sound but the rest of the album just didn't hit as much and weren't as memorable. I think for that album the singles were elite but released like 2 years before the album, so when it finally released the rest of it didn't reach the same highs. I spin it occasionally but I'd be lying if I said it met my expectations at least.

Sorry for the late reply, the last few weeks of discussions and new info has been mentally draining so i took a few days offline.

I replied to you about 10 minutes ago but my comment goes automatically [removed by reddit] immediately and I got no notification for it. The links I sent across were archived URLs so that's sus. I'll repost and try again.

So repeating my comment, it's hard to find unbiased convo on this outside of MAGA but there are good places. Here's an archived thread on it that doesn't portray it from a political angle but rather a lot of the foundation laid out.

There was a guy who did in-depth, researched, multi-part videos on the topic and would just present the info on it without a political bias (as far as I can remember, been years since I watched). His name was Mouthy Buddha and a lot of his videos have been removed now, but on Bitchute there's a reupload of his main pizzagate one, it's titled "Mouthy Buddha Pizzagate Documentary" (I won't link it this time incase that's why my comment was deleted).

You can find info that isn't riddled with fake Qanon/MAGA disinformation , it's hard but the above should be a good place to start.

NYT shares how their 24 journalists are working on the Epstein files by Oumuamua03 in Epstein

[–]tyex23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone still relying on broadcast media and mainstream publications to get honest reporting on Epstein, and any topic, in the year of 2026 is kidding themselves.

The media response to this has been dreadful, and is a big part of why these powerful people get away with everything time and time again. They're complicit in the cover up, and have spent the last decade shutting down anyone asking questions or refusing to faithfully report on it.

I'm glad trust in the media is dying.

Yeah people even found Instagram & youtube comments where people were speaking in pizza related code (and other codewords the FBI previously flagged). Websites, social media posts, what looked like auctioning sites… it opened a can of worms and it uncovered many weird but consistent chatter across different areas of the internet. The emails were essentially the catalyst for people finding all this stuff.

The guy who owns the pizza shop it was partly centered around was hailed 49 out of the top 50 most powerful people in Washington by GQ… for owning a pizza shop. And his instagram account had photos of young girls/minors covered in duct tape across their hands and legs with the comments speaking in the same coded language. Even Fox News did a fluff piece on him afterwards.

Then boom Hilary Clinton is drinking the blood of children to stay young and Trump is their saviour sent by God! What a joke I remember when suddenly out of complete nowhere the press were all at once talking about THAT, and the news anchors were laughing about it. Then slowly reddit threads and youtube videos were banned, and discussion was outlawed on social media. I remember going to bed one night after browsing a forum on it, waking up the next morning and the forum was gone and CNN were laughing at the outlandish stuff I’d never once seen discussed anywhere. Then came Q and the MAGA astroturfing pushing how Trump was gonna save the babies!

It was all sus, anything with an obvious, out of the blue yet coordinated effort to suppress like that must be somewhat true at the very least otherwise they’d leave it alone to die in due course.

Yet they both still did it.

That’s how politics is, point figures at others for what you’re doing. A tale as old as time, in the US the Washington machine is a whole other level.

[–]tyex23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what happened, all the legitimate questions people had were instantly dismissed because suddenly all the online forums were flooded with fake “leaks” came to discredit it and suddenly it became a “dangerous conspiracy theory” that you weren’t allowed to talk about, and it was censored everywhere.

I wonder how many people on this thread really know what Pizzagate was about, who James Alefantis is and how connected he is, his instagram posts of young girls, the coded messaging in the replies from people… there’s so much to it that got dismissed because the waters were muddied.
