 | Manatea Hey that?s awesome! Happy to hear that! It is indeed the season lol
|
| Manatea Been good! Crazy busy, but generally good. Anything new? More theater productions?
|
 | Scheumke Yo! Quick fyi on the Manticora review (sweet read btw). I believe they're Danish not Dutch ;)
|
 | Sniff Reevaluate that Seek album
|
 | SlothcoreSam Haha, thought you'd get a laugh out of it. It's a solid album too
|
| SlothcoreSam Check Octopoule - Alt-164, heavy noise rock album from this year, they even sample scatman on one track.
|
 | Piripichotes Mitch, erase your written note on Stortregn's Finitude rating chart!!! I was the first one to call out Pika's BS rating and I wanna be the most voted comment, so you either gimme all your votes or you take off that s*** RN!
|
 | Zac124 It is definitely close to a 4. About a 3.6/3.7. Maybe it will grow on me in repeat listens but it did drag a little bit for me by the end nor was I a fan of Moving On.
|
| Zac124 Really enjoyed This Is What I Live For. Excited to check the double LP now.
|
 | Feather You are blowing through getting these recs listened to quicker than anyone ever has
|
| Manatea Dude I got back from vacation and it?s been nonstop. Still trying to squeeze a review in it?s been soooooo long. But honestly kinda nice to get back into the grind a bit. Have you added LA to your travel plans yet?
|
 | Mort. https://www.corticalrecords.com/products/name-internet-killed-the-audio-star - still never got round to listening to this!!! but cool a lil obscure metalcore record is getting the vinyl treatment

|
| dedex hell yeah bro you jammed Mairo
|
| nash1311 Yo staff can we get some Stortregn reviews or something???? By the way their new single is DISGUSTING
|
| Manatea Yeahhhh it?s true. Most of them are being good sports but it got a tad out of hand there. Some pretty hilarious stuff in there though lol
|
| Manatea I have noted you to be excluded. Sorry to upset you.
|
| Manatea Hi Mars it?s July 22nd and im glad we are homies. Wanted to tell you that
|
 | BitterJalapenoJr Good day. Was reading your fantastic ostraca review and in the comments, I saw you were on the hunt for high quality emo from this year. Check out moshimoshi - GREEN LP when you get the chance.
|
| Mort. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/6405251 - you ever heard of this? if you click show more you can see list of interviews and oh boy does it interest me
|
| Manatea Lmao idk who that is but I?m glad you got to see my mug finally
|
| Manatea So i have to know, do i look different than you thought i would?
|
 | DePlazz https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/87090/Quasarborn-Novo-oru?je-protiv-bola/
|
 | kalkwiese Hey hey, have you heared the new Hirsch Effekt song? https://youtu.be/auFuYIoR2aE
|
 | Flugmorph hey that sounds great gotta have some variety and rest on some stuff to find new passion frfr
|
| Flugmorph listened to it for a first today, looking forward to read your extended thoughts!
|
| kalkwiese Two tracks into that Omnerod, all hail the spider \m/
|
 | wacknizzle Thanks Mars! I really appreciate everything you?ve done! Thanks for help getting the word out there
|
| wacknizzle https://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2023/06/01/exclusive-premiere-unfurling-ascension/
|
| Manatea All done hope you enjoy reading
|
| Manatea Yeah this is a gem. Will be done soon.
|
| Manatea Ummm this rips really hard. Nobody?s reviewed this!? I?m on it.
|
| Manatea Mmmm idk! Something heavy/fun? I just feel like I?m not running into enough music that has me interested in writing about it. Idk, maybe something so bad I can write another joke review. Whatever you deem fit sir
|
| Manatea Overlord, I need an assignment? tell me something to write about
|
| nash1311 Bro. My Body is a Cage by Boundaries is like next level pissed lol
|
 | Futures yes absolutely. not a very exciting job but hey it will pay the bills and also offer some work from home which is nice. definitely room for growth and these two companies i'm really interested in are national companies with their headquarters here even though it's a pretty small town, so pretty awesome. by the way what do you do for a living?
|
 | botb I have literally been to music school for music and I can tell you without a doubt I am being crushed by overwhelming student debt and have no job
|
| Futures thanks man! graduated with a degree in business management. looking for an entry level administration position to start and then i'll go from there!
|
| Futures had the big one today, honestly think i nailed it. feel like i had good answers and had a bunch of questions for them. i was also the first interview so hopefully i made strong impression. feeling good and think it would be a great position. second one was just a short screen and will probably get a zoom interview with them. and just got a new interview lined up for friday! things are going great! time to jam and relax.
|
| Manatea No projects unfortunately? maybe someday! Life kinda got in the way of music goals when I was younger, but it?s something I aim to do at some point, you know?
|
| Futures thank you so much dude. life is turning around finally. feels good! zoom interview for my top choice tomorrow, nervous but excited. i'm a big lebron hater so it's been pretty funny to me lol. also been jamming some new stuff for the first time in a long time too now that i have a little time. saw your new review for the new ocean, def gonna check that and the new cattle decap.
|
| Manatea The best times. Choir was like my athletics in high school because I was anti-athletic. Made all-state choir in Oregon lol. But really I?m a drummer at heart and always will be.
|
| Futures nice man, good to hear! been pretty fun except for my bucks lol. i'm great! graduated last week and already have a few interviews lined up this week! very excited for the future.
|
| botb I *LITERALLY* went to school for music
|
| Manatea I shoulda known lol. Im the same way though, listening to metalcore/post-hardcore doing the whole choir/theater nerd thing. I wish i could still sing the same way ?
|
| SlothcoreSam Oh yeah it's pretty good, they have potential for sure, the album drags a little, but still solid.
|
| Manatea I was Malvolio in high school. The bard of Stratford-upon-Avon still goes hard dude. Didn?t know you were a theater man! That?s pretty cool!
|
| Manatea Ahhh I miss the theater man. What production are you doing??
|
| Manatea Bro I was just thinking about you today. Im doing good! Feel like Im finding my place on this little corner of the internet. How about you my friend? How?s life?
|
 | Purpl3Spartan Damn it dude I finna leave the exact same soundoff on A7X ?
|
| wacknizzle Thanks Mars, I used to know how to fix broken artwork but I can?t find the forums anymore
|
| wacknizzle I tied uploading the new album on here and in classic Sputnik style broke the album artwork. How does one fix this nowadays lol
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Crystaline Blesseeed Liiiiights. Looser!lol Lunar Chamber is simply the best (and most interesting) dm release oty thus far! Snap up that 3.5 uh m/ mucho luv
|
| Manatea In all seriousness though, your advice helped me a lot. Really appreciate it.
|
| Manatea Lmao i had no other choice, a hate listen is what had to happen. At least the result is hilarious and a tad controversial
|
| Manatea https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/86751/Attack-Attack!-Dark-Waves/See what thou hast wrought ;]
|
| dedex I am so proud :heartemoji:
|
| dedex wait you listened to Varnish La Piscine's new record??? you grow up so fast
|
| SlothcoreSam You have Squidpisser - My Tadpole Legion on your radar? If not you should, crazy mathcore.
|
| Mort. **** man im so dissapointed. was looking forward to like 20-30 mins of this s***.
|
| Mort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDLcOGmGZQM - full length drops in a couple of days
|
| Manatea You?ve inspired me. I really appreciate it friend. Keep your eyes open ;]
|
| botb https://dragpattern.bandcamp.com/album/demoNew post metalcore from members of Yashira and Axis
|
| Manatea Mmm I?m trying to figure out how to take this out of a shoutbox but essentially i feel like I burned out with my writing a bit and need to take a break from it. Idk. I?m not happy with my turnout recently. Not sure what to do.
|
| wacknizzle Sounds good dude, I send over a link via email so you can check it out. Thanks!
|
| wacknizzle Hey Mars, this is the guitar player from Unfurl. We have an album coming out on June 2nd with 2 singles coming out prior. I would definitely define as post-metalcore which is right up your alley and wanted to check and see if you?d be interested in posting the singles as news or reviewing the new record? Let me know if you?d like any details. I would gladly send you everything via email.
|
| nash1311 I had not but saw you rec them in the NeO thread. Fables was bonkers
|
| SlothcoreSam Stick with it, there is a lot to like throughout! It reminds me of a mathier, if that's a word, Hail The Sun, with some added screams.
|
| SlothcoreSam Lol, don't know if you'll like this one, it's really different. Did you like Endless, Nameless?
|
| SlothcoreSam Yo new album by Endless, Nameless is a cracker. Math rock Post Hardcore. The second track is SOTY so far.
|
| nash1311 Peep that new Sarcoptes album. I?m having a good time with it
|
 | Tundra Could take a look at review I made? Thanks
|
| nash1311 I?m pretty good just been busy and honestly haven?t heard much good new music this year so I?ve been hibernating lol. You doing better?
|
| Tundra Dont mean to toot my own horn but I can hit the whole thing, not consistently, but I can do it. It did take me a fair few attempts though, i played the song a lot of times.
|
| Tundra I play the geetar heroz
|
| nash1311 Thank you for not pandering to that drivel. I always knew I liked you :3
|
| SlothcoreSam Hey, I got a new Jazzy emo/post rock album for you to check. https://facedout.bandcamp.com/album/faced-out
|
| kalkwiese I see lol. No, I am always ready to spread the Hirsch love. I am a bit busy lately so my internet activity isn't as big as before
|
 | Kusangii Heard the first song and yeah I probably agree. Definitely sounded good but maybe a little too worshippy of 90s mdm
|
| kalkwiese Hey hey hey, I'm here. Did I miss something?
|
 | veninblazer I don't expect myself to stay too long, because I tend to go in waves of posting a lot and then being gone, but thanks!
|
 | JayEnder Seems everyone is socially awkward to an extent these days. 2020 really messed people up. I am the same way though man, as soon as I warm up and am comfortable talking to a new person the awkwardness subsides haha. Shoutbox is always open if you're feeling low dude.
|
| Kusangii Yo, I just got back from a trip. It looks interesting, have you listened to it?
|
 | xxm You?re welcome.
|
| xxm Nice Graphic Nature review.
|
| JayEnder Appreciate that man, it comes and goes. After seeing what you said in the Daoboys thread we definitely have the same introverted mindset. Also on that note I'm so stoked you had a great time at the show :]
|
| Futures they build them different at georgia
|
| JayEnder My main man Mars, good to hear from you dude! I'm doing alright. Feel kinda lost in life right now to be honest. But music always helps keep the ever looming depression at bay. How are you doing brotha?
|
| Kusangii You can always try ;]]]]]]]]]]]]]
|
| Kusangii babe I wrote in your shoutbox and you ignored me
|
| Tundra Well I see Imperial Circus as power metal on crack and so I dont really see the comparison. Example Jane Doe yes its chaotic but I also dont like the timbers. I dont like the guitar sound, the drum sound, and I definitely dont like the angry gremlin on the mic the whole time. Imperial Circus has more structure and more anthemic choruses, that's not to say that Jane Doe doesnt have some sort of structure. Just that the sense of structure is more apparent to me on Imperial Circus.
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki none that i readily remem the pass to aha. what is this mhmm?
|
 | hesperus Hey man, I'm doing alright--enjoying life as much as I can, and still listening to a bunch of great music (you should check the new Storm{O} if you haven't yet, it's probably my favorite thing I've heard in the past couple months). Hope you're doing well yourself! And congrats on the promotion!
|
| Manatea I appreciate you man. Also huge congrats on making staff. I?m really grateful for your encouragement. I might need help navigating lol
|
 | Thank you for your words. They really helped me find a new perspective.
|
| Futures well i think you know already that willis isn't the answer lol. i think you definitely need to go full rebuild, old roster without a clear qb. feels good to finally have faith in the jags now haha. roster is solid with a great qb and now with ridley? nice to have some expectations for once!
|
 | KnewUser Thanks. I thought that hearing I was a s***ty person was going to confirm my own feelings, but it has just got me feeling even worse. I know what I should do, but there are more layers to it than that ?
|
| Manatea Eyyy! I literally got promoted the day after i got a snowstorm of work and didn?t find out until days later and i?m still clawing my way out of it so i?m overwhelmed. I need to figure out getting a discord which i inevitably never will which scares me lmao
|
| Futures haha it was unbelievable. one of the best nights of my life honestly. still can't believe it happened. jags set up to run the south for a decade now, that can't make you happy though right!
|
 | Rolling Girl What are the odds lmfao. Let?s escape this place together
|
| Rolling Girl Omg really??? I?m in cbus lol. I?ve been to San Francisco, loved it. I?d love to just move out in that* direction. And I?m glad to hear you?re putting in the work, it feels like everyone is going through it lately?Go you!
|
| Rolling Girl Planning on visiting a friend in Oregon. It'll be my first time there so I'm excited. I feel that. I hope it's nothing major tho :c
|
| Rolling Girl Hello Mars! I?m doing well actually! Trying to plan a vacation for the spring. You?
|
| Futures haha of course! great game just a shame about the hold that's kinda made me forget how good the rest of the game was. by the way how about them jags!?
|
| nash1311 Holla if you need me. I?ll be praying for you
|
 | DarkNoctus glad you got a little more out of it than me. can't help but feel nothing really fit all that well together.
|
| nash1311 Bro you having troubles? How can I help
|
| DarkNoctus try it! other people seem fonder on it than i am so it may surprise you!
|
| ToSmokMuzyki i love most of their covers lmao i often get a track from even albums i dont like just to have the art
|
| Kusangii Whoa when did you become staff? Congrats dude. Now you can be cool and rate stuff even more detailed m/
|
| Futures oooh that's a solid list. definitely heard of all the 90s ones for sure. i still do want to make a ultimate guide to 90s emo list haha. might just drop it for fun sometime.
|
| Futures i got the same list lol. emo list? is it your list? tell me who made it so i can check it out because it seems broken here haha. and that's awesome man! very deserved, long overdue.
|
| nash1311 Ok staff don?t ban me when I say Persefone sucks ok? Congrats!
|
 | Kompys2000 Congrats on making staff Mars! See ya on Olympus ;P
|
| Futures very weird giving me the same thing haha. this site falling apart finally? lol
|
| Futures video game list? what you been playing?
|
| Futures good to hear man! you still listen to so much music haha. i fell off hard, definitely want to get back into listening to new stuff. listen to too many podcasts lol. you were on a 90s emo kick lately?
|
| Sniff Lfg bot like spam. It's already on my wishlist bro. Im hhhyped
|
| Futures hey man i'm doing great! how are you doing? hope all is well. dude that album is great. vocals pretty unique for the genre and love the guitar just rips. maybe for now is one of my favorite emo songs!
|
| ToSmokMuzyki yea title track blew me away was hoping the rest was just like it haha
|
| SlothcoreSam Ooooh yeah, there is some good s*** out there this year already. The new Palette Knife is some top tier 5th wave emo
|
 | Colton lol thank you I'm down. can we talk about how Let It Be is underrated
|
| Manatea Yessir. Compliance will be forthcoming in February
|
| Manatea Oh hey thanks man! Umm?. How do i do that?
|
| Flugmorph oh definitely, it was awesome. as always i didn't manage to check as much new music as i wanted to but yeah 2022 was a great year for music, similar to 2021.
|
| Flugmorph doin fine can't complain ya know been alright
|
 | Demon of the Fall a work in progress, but Persefone is up... https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1097747 - don't be too alarmed by the placement!
|
| Manatea All good! Thanks boss man. He said they would work, I?m just paranoid?
|
 | normaloctagon still having trouble finding that contrib forum, would you be able to help a shape out, i feel like its in this really obvious place but i cant find it lol
|
| normaloctagon Hey Mars! Sorry, just seeing this, appreciate the heads up. Could you point me in the right direction for that spot on the site?
|
| Mort. that list is actually worse that i expected
|
| Mort. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSMjpvJ70ak
|
 | pizzamachine If you haven?t, check Pagan?s Mind. They do sci-fi progressive metal. Thought you might like it cause of your last review
|
| Kusangii It really feels like an album sput would obsess over. But I guess they're still occupied masturbating to Ulcerate lol.
|
| Kusangii Yo, I finally jammed that Inanna album and it does indeed slay m/
|
| Sowing sounds pretty neat, will give it a full spin soon! thanks again
|
| Sowing it never hurts to drop a title, even if I don't get to it right away! your recs have been on point this year, esp. Callous Daoboys, so I'm willing to try
|
 | InfernalDeity I will find you and twist both your arms if i have to Mr. Mars. Get on that nas review!
|
| nash1311 When they lean full shuggah I weep tears of joy
|
| nash1311 So yeah uh Blue October was not for me rofl
|
 | SteakByrnes yee boy, had a busy weekend lol but I'll be workin on it before Wednesday brother man
|
| Mort. callous daoboys good, i believe now
|
| nash1311 Yep going through it now haha. Just finished Aathma
|
| nash1311 Oh I?ve heard the bois. Just not Persefone or Blue October
|
| nash1311 Ima have to Czech those I haven?t heard then!
|
| Mort. pls go to the gaza artist page and tag them as metalcore, they dont show up on the charts and it pains me, thanks
|
| nash1311 I?m still awaiting your aoty contender(s). Also, rec me good black metal plz
|
| Mort. would love your opinion on this. last track is metalcore but the rest isnt. interesting stuff
|
| Mort. https://open.spotify.com/track/5QAQUJjhPIEYPKmOq2T9nx?si=BISIfcpcR_6UTmX1AAA_vg
|
| Manatea Hey man could I ask a favor? I have a review I put in the proofreading thread and I got a critique on it but I?m trying to get multiple opinions. Could you take a look at it? You can just shout me back your thoughts. Thanks in advance
|
| Kusangii I created an atrocity if you dare to listen https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=437667#249244
|
| Manatea Okay make sense. I?ll keep writing then!
