| 10 Years of Awaiting This Cross
Technically it was yesterday, but I've been active under this same handle for a whole damn decade. Chatted/made friends with a lot of people, some who aren't around anymore, some I know on Facebook and some I might only chat with on here. The community's always had its moments of discord, and I've threatened to myself to stop but really, it's such a great forum of music and fellowship and hearty shit-giving I haven't managed to stop staring at that header pretty much every single day for 10 years. Cheers, everyone. Much love. | | 1 |  | maudlin of the Well
Bath
ostensibly my favorite album of evertimes, discovered through Sputnik. i'm friends with Toby Driver now and his shitpost earlier made my morning. go figure. | | 2 |  | Enslaved
Vertebrae
my first black metal album came out in '08 on Nuclear Blast isn't that tr00 kvlt, also probably owed to Sputnik-spelunking to find out this even existed (I'm a very sheltered Midwestern baby) but this defined about 5 years of other listening for me | | 3 |  | Swans
The Seer
when this came out Deathspell Omega was as "complex" as I got I'm pretty sure, which is hilarious. this marked another abrupt corner-turn in what I listened to, and I still remember rushing about Googly-searching this AFTER seeing the ridiculous hype on Sputnik so...there you go, nostalgic ties. | | 4 |  | Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
man, I never like rap, hip-hop, anything you'd categorize as those. i was one of those "anything but rap or country but i really mean just Green Day or Slipknot" little shits. again, it's not Illmatic or Midnight Marauders but the hype on here for this is what made me finally listen | | 5 |  | Discordance Axis
The Inalienable Dreamless
i can't make this list and not mention this. this is why the word "ostensibly" is in the description for Bath. how is 27 minutes of semi-improvised shrieking grind such a beautiful, potent record with such longevity? | | 6 |  | The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt
2010 was a terrible year for me, so a lot of albums from that year really stuck with me. It helps a lot of them are FRIGGIN FANTASTIC. also I think this was when I finally ceased listening to metal exclusively ha | | 7 |  | The National
High Violet
kinda ties in with 6, both have those lyrics i'm wondering if it's still too early to get them as tattoos, ya know? ha i'm a dick | | 8 |  | Corrupted
Garten Der Unbewusstheit
man even the obscure ones I came to late. I think i was pretty solidly embedded in doom obsession by this time, but this definitely kickstarted my hard-to-find record collection and my web of Discogs orders | | 9 |  | Death Grips
The Money Store
gotta love Sputnik for the wildly varying opinions flying like tomatoes in a cartoon food fight, not to mention commentary on the stupid shit bands pull irl and watching them go from hot mixtape to pretentious joke over a couple of years. this is still the best deth gripz | | 10 |  | Macronympha
Intensive Care
woo this list got dark! well...currently this is what I'm digging, along with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and a bunch of other harsh noise/PE stuff. NEVER would've listened to any of it in my LIFE had I not been on here, I guarantee. Thanks everybody. | |
