This shit is wild. You'd figure the capitalists would have a sense of self-preservation and not let things get this bad.

Love this album, less said about their follow up the better.

Holy shit, love these vocals. She pulls off that perfect strained and raw emotion.

Looks decadent with the oil pooling around the bottom.

Who can blame 'em, they're just fun, they have the musical chops to sell their cornball style.

Going to admit that this falls into the category of "bands that I'd heard a lot of chatter about but never really sat down and listened to." I really fell in love with the guitar and drum work here, it's complex enough to be interesting, but far from the sometimes masturbatory "technical" side of things. Vocals took a bit longer for me to get used to but once I did I actually kind of like it, I'll blame the mix instead of admitting that I'm just a philistine.

Once a month ideally, I've had to cut back a bit recently because of rising costs. I also always try to pick up a shirt or something to support the band.

Oh hell yeah! Do yourself a favor and see these dudes perform live, saw them on the brainsqueeze tour with Dead Heat, Necrot, and Muni Waste. Fucking unbelievable show, I was out of commission physically before Municpal Waste could even got on stage the crowd was just going insane. I was getting physically thrown around the pit and I am not a small guy.

If you're gonna support horrible warlike slave-states. At LEAST have the dignity to pick one of the cool ones like Rome.

Repeating a lot of what's already been said here, but I'll list what's worked for me so far. Strenous exercise, lifting zone 2 cardio for an extensive period of time. Spending time in nature hiking/camping/going for walks in the park or around the neighborhood. Journaling has been a huge help for me personally, just helping me keep track of things I've done keeps me from feeling anxious about getting enough accomplished, and to get troubling thoughts off my chest. Prayer/Meditation/"Ritual activity", whatever you want to call it, bullshit or not, it helps calm the mind.

Woah, excellent find, this is some fist pumping shit. It's VERY much inspired by Lair, (it's not even subtle) but they went in a more crusty direction and I kinda love that.

No problem, I really like the Cerebral Rot comparison, structurally and thematically they're very similar. I think Stenched shows what just changing the production to make it fuzzier and more malodorous can achieve. A lot of people usually go for the low hanging fruit of just comparing Skeletal Remains to Death/Obituary, or any other Florida Death Metal group. This can get a bit silly because they're very obviously gesturing towards a lot of euro/swe-death constantly, it's part of what makes them so enjoyable. Thanks for admitting Bolt Thrower isn't your cup of tea, I'm more than a bit tired of Bolt Thrower circlejerking you see online, and I'm saying that as a huge fan of theirs. The main reason I compare them is mostly because I feel like they both put a premium on rhythm in their song structure, and they both have a long, very consistent discography that doesn't change a lot from album to album.

The fact that you can spend countless hours listening to, and seeking out new metal, and still have enormous gaps in your listening history, is part of what I love so much about metal as a whole. It always feels like there is more out there to find, you honestly feel like you could find your new favorite band at any moment.

(Also thanks for the solstice recommendation, these guys have such an awesome punk-thrash sound with some legit death metal-ism that fit PERFECTLY.)
