 | PortalofPerfection Bro, new Saidan is FUUUUUUUKING INSANE. I'm not even halfway through my first listen and this my album to beat for 2026. JFC.
|
 | Mongi123 Hey man! New review and album for you to check out! XD
|
 | Gameofmetal It's secret because Auld Ridge conceals his identity but I'm friends with Snoxall and we were listening to it and he identified it because one of the tracks on that album was a Boring Bathtime song LOL
|
| Gameofmetal YO do you remember a user named BandNewbac and the sput project Boring Bathtime? I just randomly found that Auld Ridge is that guy???
|
 | AlkemestRedux They really do! I'm thinking of reviewing the Chloe Hoecker EP too, also super solid m//
|
 | Ectier And jam new crippled black phoenix
|
| Ectier Good good, wish you all the best though. Take care of yourself and your wife and hope its all smooth sailing
|
| Ectier Just want you all to be safe. People can be super weird or creepy, also maybe just change it to having a baby dont specify the gender bc edgelords
|
| Ectier Also just a safety thing maybe edit baby post to remove daughters name. As your full names on reviews and stuff dont want family to be at risk of weirdos
|
| Ectier Yeah got the bandcamp email. I think the goal is atm to release a single maybe late this year pending stuff.
|
| Ectier New suldusks gone to Mastering now
|
| Gameofmetal https://youtu.be/oyE-wUWpweY?si=4YnYfSs3goGigkBy
|
| Ectier Up and down for me depends on how clear they are
|
| Ectier Just need to remember to ignore the lyrics because for memory they are edgelordy
|
| Ectier I have saidan nearly finished downloading so going to jam it soon
|
| Ectier Hey Mindy, theres a bww Mork
|
 | cylinder For sure, I'll do that this week. Might have to do some revisiting of certain albums to pick the best ones haha
|
| AlkemestRedux Lemme know what you think! A nice blend of melodic and first and second wave influences and even some medieval stuff.
|
| AlkemestRedux Doing an unexpected little discog run of these guys after stumbling across them today. You might like em! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=550505#288346
|
| cylinder Wow, same as mine with the addition of the t/t. Ain't that somethin! haha. And yeah I got tons of that stuff man, maybe I'll make a list for ya
|
| cylinder Any standout tracks for you on The Breadwinner? I think my faves are the opener, E5150/Body Transport (so spooky), and Lucy Song
|
 | bighubbabuddha I've just started making an IDM album using an Elektron Digitakt 2 and Digitone 2 running into Ableton. I'll share it once it's complete in approx 6 months I think buddy
|
 | Lasssie Understandable my man! But lets just say these guys dont disappoint!
|
| Lasssie Hawks my man! U need to get to that Soft Curse record asap!
|
| cylinder Yo, I love Pedestrian Deposit! One of the best noise artists ever. Haven't heard this album though, I'll check it for sure. And very happy to see you enjoyed The Breadwinner! Such a dreamlike album
|
| bighubbabuddha Hell yeah bro, agreed! It was dedicated to his cat Maya. John is releasing a new compilation in July which is electronic
|
| AlkemestRedux I feel it, bit of a gear shift hahaIf you're in a moody/dark electronic mindset you might like this dark dubstep mix I did a while back, track titles and artists are in the description too: https://soundcloud.com/sickledubs/signsandomens
|
| Mongi123 Oh ok thanks. I literally can?t ask in the forums anymore lol so I?ll message sowing.
|
| AlkemestRedux This one is surprising me a lot, perfect summer music but lemme know what you think if you get a chance bud! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=547392#288323
|
| Mongi123 Hey bud would you mind if I got a feature for a bit? Thank you!
|
| cylinder Bro you gotta check this new Fake Dust album. Grind of the year, EASY.
|
 | pyroflare77 You gotta check the Chalk Hands and House of the Blood Choir albums from this year. I'm more emotionally vulnerable to skramz but I can't see either of these leaving my top 10 for this year unless people start going crazier for the back half of this year.
|
 | jrlikestodance Totally feel you brother, so much good s*** out there to discover and in all genres. Honestly, I feel like I never have enough time for it lol
|
| jrlikestodance Should be under Livity Sound on Sput. That label is a great rabbit hole to go down in general
|
| jrlikestodance Hell yea Hawks, love to hear you dug it. That UK bass-influenced techno really scratches the perfect itch for me it's so good. Lots of awesome artists on that comp soon. You'd prob also dig the Molten Mirrors comp from Livity Sound. Lots of artist crossover and with a similar vision
|
| Mongi123 I'm tryin haha since mx still refuses to make a decision we gotta work on strengthen from within for now.
|
| Mongi123 Hey I realized both of my reviews, over a week apart now, are still on the front page and that is troubling lol maybe you gyro or sowing can make an article or list as like a help wanted poster? Encouraging users to start up or start back up again? Encouraging current users to write more? Either way we definitely need new writers.
|
 | Hyperion1001 happy listening! it?s some of my favorite music of all time.
|
| Hyperion1001 journey of the deep sea dweller is a 4 part compilation of all that material. just listen to all 4 parts and you?ll have heard everything.
|
| Hyperion1001 neptunes lair, harnesses, and grava are all 5s. have you listened to all the single and ep material yet? it?s just as good if not better.
|
| Ectier No idea atm. i think they are still doing some recording
|
| Ectier Im green with envy, Ive been told when its done ill be given a link at the new Suldusk
|
| Ectier Gimme the new warning album ;-; im so excited for it
|
| cylinder Bro, both of those knocked it out of the park! Thank you! Had a lovely afternoon with those. That Xiphiidae one could be a 5 in time.
|
| Ectier New CoL track is immense. New album in Nov
|
| cylinder Def gonna check that Xiiphidae and Blithe Field tonight, that's exactly the kind of mood I've been in lately. Also maybe throw The Breadwinner on your ambient list? Might as well haha
|
| cylinder And stoked you enjoyed Much to my Demise! When you get around to it, check his collab with Graham Lambkin, The Breadwinner. That?s an all-timer for me!
|
| cylinder can you send that last one again? Or what was the name of the album? I was trying to copy the link on my phone and I removed your shout lol
|
| cylinder Yoooo I forgot about this guy! I've heard one album and I remember liking it a lot. Thank you!! I love trippy droney folk stuff :]
|
| jrlikestodance Totally feel that, I'm about to throw the new BoC on myself
|
| jrlikestodance Also gonna suggest the Dualism EP by FDW to you since you like the cerebral dub techno type stuff. Title track is an all timer for me
|
| jrlikestodance Knocked the review out the park my friend, I think as you jam more techno and electronic stuff it'll be easier to get reviews out for that sort of thing. Love seeing a staff member show an artist like FDW some love so thank you!
|
| jrlikestodance Hell yea!!! I'm right there with you, the grooves are undeniable and hypnotic as hell and the subtle bass influences really enhance every song. Crazy he keeps getting better. I'd also suggest the Terrain EP him and Voytek dropped recently. More on the dubby side but very solid. Should be on Livity Sound's bandcamp
|
| jrlikestodance Love to see the high rating! I'm pretty much with you on that, s*** slaps
|
| jrlikestodance The new Forest Drive West is SO good. I think you will love it
|
| cylinder Yeah, that?s fair. This North Americans album is very nice, thanks for that. Def a similar vibe to Talons?, which I love. I have a bit of a headache today tho so I think I?ll save that Central Industrial one for another day haha
|
| Mongi123 New review is up if you're interested my friend
|
| Gameofmetal Got some new music out bruther m/ https://youtu.be/0PRPAozlRyU?si=o0ivsU6WCWqlfi8n
|
 | DoofDoof My Sophie probably a future Neurosis fan lol
|
| DoofDoof Sophia is a lovely name yeah! We nearly chose it but my Sophie isnt a real delicate girly girl and Sophie suits her a little better - she likes to kick a ball, play remote controlled cars, watch cartoon with fighting, stuff like that :D
|
| DoofDoof Have you started thinking of names yet? Must be close! You going to decide before or wait and meet her. We chose the name Sophie pretty early, Sofia we thought about as is more trendy right now?but my Sophie is 100% not a Sofia and is 100% Sophie. Weird how it works out.
|
| cylinder One more for you (this one will probably be more immediate): https://relapsealumni.bandcamp.com/album/courtesy-and-good-will-towards-men
|
| cylinder Hm.. a 3.2, interesting haha. I hope you?re open to giving it a couple more listens, you might be surprised at how it creeps up on you. Btw I?m planning on checking your last couple recs for me, Central Industrial and North Americans, sometime this weekend. Sorry Ive been taking so long with those
|
| cylinder Check: https://endlessfloods.bandcamp.com/album/ii
|
 | s0nicx Ok lol. About a week or so ago a couple of friends and I were watching a video from them (They do dashcam incident videos) and one of the submitted clips was from "Hawks - Pennsylvania".
|
| s0nicx Hey might be an odd question but did you recently submit a video to the DashCam Lessons channel on YouTube?
|
 | PanosChris Discord is great (and I genuinely forgot its existence), think this link should work: https://discord.gg/aEhaCsTs
|
| PanosChris Heya Hawks, I'd like to shoot you a personal message for a question of mine?is there an email I could refer to (if you're okay with that, of course!)
|
| DoofDoof I was going to ask about the new Slift but you rated the previous a 2.5 !
|
| DoofDoof yeah, I have never dug them, not a fan of the vocals, some of the instrumental work is decent but just not my jam....did enjoy the new Modest Mouse which was a surprise after the previous one
|
 | Gmork89 I was terrified too dude, ill tell you though its shocking how normal it all is at this point. Just gotta get through that first bit where you dont get any sleep haha.
|
| Gmork89 Thats awesome dude, how are you feeling about it? I'm two years ahead of you so if you need any advice or support let me know haha.
|
| Gmork89 Dang dude I didn't even see your reply! Youre having a daughter thats crazy congrats, did everything go okay?
|
| Ectier Started as a 3 but it just got way too cheesey
|
| Ectier Maladie is delightfully strange
|
| Ectier I think you will like it, vocals seem to have some odd effects. It sounds a bit demoy in places
|
| Ectier Production on the new godthrymm is odd and a bit strange
|
 | WilhelmBlack Rec some good prog rock to me if you have time plz!!!
|
| bighubbabuddha Music this year is insanely good, I swear we getting 3ish great releases a week lmao.
|
| AlkemestRedux The Metal Archives reviews for these guys are so sweaty but I'm digging it so far lol Might have to go mining for copypasta, but lemme know what you think if you want some very raw black metal.https://youtu.be/Vpt68FGtW6g?si=At1a9uTb7AHFKVbW
|
 | Muzz79 Underrated band. I?ll def give a spin!
|
| Mongi123 BOC and Hammock rockin my tits off within a week of each other. Damn.
|
 | JayEnder Glad you're digging the new SD bro! It's incredible. Hope RCD clicks for you more too, believe me this band will work its way into your DNA. Also review is in progress, will hopefully write the bulk of it when I get home from work later.
|
| Muzz79 Yeah I?ve jammed twice and getting into
|
| Mongi123 Now is the time! Now that you?re all hammocked and post rocked up. Get ready to be absolutely pummeled with Dust And Disquiet xD
|
| Mongi123 I?ve decided you?re next binge is Caspian lol
|
| Mongi123 lol woooow, you think you?ve listened enough to rank them? Such a big discography. I know you?d love the ambient ones.
|
| Mongi123 So glad you?re enjoying Hammock dude they?re my fav band in the world and most listened to. And on Spotify by miles haha
|
| Mongi123 That Dream Unending album is so dope man. Love the guitar tones. Gives a doom/stoner vibe with dm vox.
|
| cylinder Have you heard A Wilhelm Scream?
|
| Mongi123 Darn, Breathturn is among my top songs ever made. But their work is so vast and prolific you?re bound to find something.
|
| Mongi123 Hell absolute yeah dude and many more where that come from. They essentially went back to their earlier Chasing After Shadows style so you probably adore that one too. They have tons of ambient style too.
|
| cylinder Disagree with the genre tags for them on here. I?d have put black metal, hardcore, and maybe metalcore. Or maybe melodic black metal, if that?s a tag.
|
| cylinder Loving this Dagdrom album, man. The first thing I thought of was that it sounds like A Wilhelm Scream if they played black metal haha
|
| Mongi123 Yeah i already did haha but yeah man this is their best work yet
|
| Mongi123 I'm trying to add a jpeg and it keeps saying duplicate entry waaahhh
|
| Mongi123 Try the new Hammock man is so beyond incredible
|
| JayEnder Bro I'm just as shocked as you are lmfaooo. Simple answer is they're a great band. I think you blasted them for their goofy ass album titles. Sometimes you just gotta give stuff a chance ;] stoked about your P4 rating as that's my absolute favorite by them. Reptile is an all timer
|
| cylinder Glad you dug it man!! Love how they work in the field recordings on that one. Great lyrics too.
|
 | ConcubinaryCode It'll come together for me im sure, theres a lot to talk about it despite its short length.
|
| ConcubinaryCode Hm, I was just wondering if my review was too unfocused because I found myself talking about aspects outside the music for the album i was recc'd. Its a short one and I quickly ran out of stuff to talk about music wise and moved onto the wider narrative behind the album instead. I saw you listened to it and was curious what you thought?
|
 | necropig https://nedgravd.bandcamp.com/album/ascension some filthy DM
|
 | Beardog Check more Textures lil bro! For sure Silhouettes and the debut, after that it might be too much progdjent for your taste
|
| ConcubinaryCode Hey, since the forums are down where do people usually post drafts of their reviews for comments and critique before actually posting them now?
|
| AlkemestRedux Hell yeah dude it's awesome! Very unique and immersive. Gonna have to give it more listens.
|
 | Rowhaus If you're in the soul market, Love Deluxe is literal perfection
|
| Rowhaus I gave Sade a try based on recent bumps and holy moly it's amazing
|
| AlkemestRedux I have not, but just peeped her page and avant-garde folk sounds rad!
|
| AlkemestRedux I feel it man. The sun comes out and I just mellow for a bit lol You might like the new Langhorne Slim or Chloe Hoecker. Dug both of those albums! Langhorne's is definitely more on the Americana/indie side but it's a great album.
|
| AlkemestRedux I'll give em more of a listen this week! The cycle is swinging once again from metal to country lol
|
| AlkemestRedux In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sitting on a raiiinbooow! Hell yeah he rules! But I've basically only heard some of his hits, haven't dug into his discog.
|
 | NudeTayne I'll see if I can crank something out by the end of day. Really clever experiment to inject reviews into the site, which seem to be the most creative writing and social engagement of sput.
|
| cylinder Glad you enjoyed those noisecore albums too :) I appreciate you checking out obscure stuff- the more ratings they get, the higher their chances of getting off the ground
|
| cylinder https://effluence666.bandcamp.com/album/anticholinergic-derangement // Enjoy ;)
|
| cylinder Alessa Gillespie: https://alessagillespie.bandcamp.com/album/lifeless // Death Basket: https://deathbasket.bandcamp.com/album/s-t
|
| cylinder I'm bored at work so I'm gonna link you those noisecore albums from my list for your convenience: Polluted Noise Industries: https://pollutednoiseindustries.bandcamp.com/album/demo-polluted-noise-industries-asymmetry-chastic-flowers-and-assimilated-trees // Asmodexia: https://asmodexianoise.bandcamp.com/album/sentient-mass-of-merging-bodies
|
| AlkemestRedux A tiny bit but they're on my list to dive into. Maybe I'll hit an album or two tomorrow!
|
| AlkemestRedux I'll join you on a couple of their middle discog albums. I haven't listened to Beast and the one before it. Although I think the Serpent Lord demo Order of the Snake is pretty much on par with the Ceremonial Castings debut. All the underappreciated USBM in the house!
|
| AlkemestRedux Hell yeah dude! Their early albums, and then later albums, were so good!
|
| NudeTayne Yeah sure just give me two shakes of a lamb's tail
|
| Lasssie I mean yeah those kind of vocals can be a bit too much so grind with short length songs are a good fit for it. And from a technical standpoint those vox are super impressing !
|
| Lasssie Listening to it now and i must admit gutterals arent always my cup of tea but the instrumentation is so damn good. Great rec!
|
| Lasssie Will check that one later tonight bro!
|
| Lasssie Youll dig it! Been in the mood for grind the last weeks hard!
|
| Lasssie Youve probably already checked it but the Contrastic debut album kicks ass if ur in the mood for some grind!
|
 | Kimm Yooo fair enough, a little eyas! That's super exciting, my sister's due around the same time (June 17) and I'm stoked to be Auntie Kimbo. Busy time for sure, I hope all goes well. Congrats!!
|
| Kimm No Release of the Month list for March or April! Guessing Neurosis was your pick for March, but I'm curious about April
|
| AlkemestRedux Will do! I've tried listening to them before but I don't think I was ready. Gonna revisit for sure.
|
| AlkemestRedux They do big time. It reminds me of the death metal equivalent of like warnoise in black metal, almost indistinguishable as metal lol Apparently people are calling the microgenre 'free death.' Might spend some time digging into other similar bands. m///
|
| bighubbabuddha No worries bro, no rush from me. Life is going to work out nicely I believe !!
|
| bighubbabuddha Will you do the May List bro? If not could you still listen to my rec at some point possibly, I think you'd dig it :)
|
 | ScuroFantasma Hawks try not to slap a 4.5 or 2.5- on an anticipated metal release in 2026 challenge (impossible) ;)
|
| bighubbabuddha Do you have authority to perma-ban Smok. He's destroyed so many threads bro
|
| bighubbabuddha I'm digging Immolation the first five albums "kick booty" thx for piquing my interest in this M// band
|
 | Orb Hawks my bro I know you're a busy but I google drive folder with my new project locked and loaded. Would love to share w you before it goes public!
|
 | Gyromania = [ - If nothing else, at least I rly dig Roots Circle Usurpers
|
 | Scoot https://open.spotify.com/album/3UsbhfBCykXDVDIfUBcFya?si=KRMyqnWPSLySqgiWrnXlqQ you would love this
|
 | Comatorium. Sweeeeet. I?m almost tempted to come out of retirement for it. Am I crazy or are there American football vibes on blood and fur with the strings horns and percussion?
|
| Rowhaus It's less than 2 minutes, yet feels like an eternity
|
| Rowhaus Only if you promise to hate-listen to the new Charli single lmao
|
| Comatorium. Ooooooh I see that new panopticon 4.8 is there a review coming?!
|
| Gmork89 ILY2! How you been man? Your reviews are awesome these days btw
|
| AlkemestRedux hansolo rec'd me this and holy s*** it's good. still listening through myself but give it a listen! it's definitely climbing my 2026 black metal release list with every song: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=542827
|
 | DarkHorizontal Thanks man. For real no pressure on a review. Hopefully it gives you a little boost of dopamine!
|
| DarkHorizontal Once upon a time you reviewed my other band (Lady Luna and the Devil). I'm back with a new album I wanted to put on your radar. https://sadisticgiant.bandcamp.com/album/top-of-the-food-chain. I'm not asking for a review, just thought you might dig. Cheers.
|
| Rowhaus That 5 on Wolf King is glorious. Glad you dug the new one too!
|
 | efp123 Do you see this s***? Wtf
|
| efp123 https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=209482
|
 | ShadowRemains i see nex just slapped a 4 on that new funebrarum record, that's a good sign
|
 | Get Low album of the month list where
|
| AlkemestRedux Doing my homework on Serpent Lord ahead of their new release, and hot damn this rips: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=547208#287333
|
| Rowhaus Bro same! They've been such a regular in my rotation. Looks like another banger on the way I'm so hyped m/
|
| Rowhaus We got new Saidan around the corner
|
| AlkemestRedux Hmm folk, black metal and atmospheric black metal are all things I enjoy seeing next to each other. I'll give it a spin!
|
| AlkemestRedux Hells yeah! Gonna brush up on their other two albums today too.
|
| AlkemestRedux Just stumbled across these guys and had to make a page for em. They just dropped this EP a few days ago and have a song with Hulder! Lemme know what you think, I'm listening now and digging it: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=547058
|
| Gameofmetal Some actual good quality GBK lineage black metal :
|
| Gameofmetal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIZRDZShyuo
|
| Orb Big gratitude for real!!
|
| Orb Hey pal! I decided to reveal my DJ alias to sputnik at large with a list! Is it... Feature worthy??? :) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=209463
|
| bighubbabuddha Just coming here to send the love bro, Sput is healthier than ever and the staff care about the lil ol' users like me, big up
|
| Orb Thx buddy, appreciate it! Just reached out
|
| Orb How do I find this Jr?
|
| Orb Totally understand my guy! I know there's a couple people who occasionally review drum n bass and stuff around here, just can't remember who at the moment!
|
| Orb TLDR I wanted to record something that would be as timeless as our friendship was and I think I've succeeded. I just think it would be really cool to see it from an outside perspective (or like, read about it anyways).
|
| Orb Also, do you know who around here might be able and willing to review my upcoming project? It's a meticulously assembled 90 minute audio journey consisting of heavily remixed tracks layered into a seamless tapestry of genuinely filthy bass music. It's been almost six months of relentless work, and the whole reason I've made it is to honour a very close friend who passed away recently. That friend got me into DJing back in the day, and this whole project was recorded on the gear he left behind.
|
| Orb I'm a fussy lad hahah its part of my charm!
|
| Orb Just didn't grab me at all and the lead guitar tone was very irritating for me. Also wasn't a fan of the songwriting. I see the appeal, but it just did absolutely nothing for me lol
|
| Rowhaus Oh s*** congrats bro! You're gonna have a new buddy to jam BM and hip-hop with haha. And agreed the singles are rock solid. Gonna try to make the drive for the LA show
|
| Rowhaus You gonna catch Dimmu on their summer tour?
|
| Rowhaus Thanks bro I'm doin okay. Just needed a little break. I'm starting to feel like my usual smartass self again lol
|
| Rowhaus Thanks bro, s*** happens tho that's just life. New Immo slaps btw m/
|
| Rowhaus Took a little break. Recently lost a very close friend of mine and I didn't care to read a lot of the discourse being thrown around here.
|
| bighubbabuddha Yeah Sput rules, you can fart and vibe as much as you like heree
|
 | Dedes Damn brother that's weak SAUCE. Ngl it may be my fav aside from Path but assuredly it needs respins, mostly I'm busy having my bootyhole wrecked by the grimy filth that is new Reeking Aura.
|
| Dedes You hear new Inferi yet
|
|
