Mort. 07.18.23	r.i.p
Mort. 07.18.23	https://zegemabeachrecords.bandcamp.com/album/saccharine-curses-exhaled-in-the-wind?fbclid=IwAR0HvmhZERRhWYPUptYESkpYno7nmDSfu56yq1i04N-2LyJPIjp8NmCTxtc Written for the original vocalist Brandon Nurick who passed away in late 2022, this journey through addiction-fueled screamo/chip-tune/post-rock hybrid weaves intricate melodies amidst gargantuan riffs/breakdowns and screaming, only to seamlessly slip into spoken word and jazzy post-rock. This project features Garry Brents from Cara Neir, Gonemage, etc. and Dave Norman from Our Future Is An Absolute Shadow, Apostles Of Eris, etc. with a guest spot by Ivan Belcic of Kosmogyr. Co-released with Santapogue Media on our first full-cover UV screen-printed tapes as well as a few swirl copies. RIP Brandon
parksungjoon 07.18.23	awesome, will give it a try
pizzamachine 07.18.23	He was a friend to all, and the chillest of chill, top-tier chill dawg factor
Slex 07.18.23	I still message him from time to time, he's on my mind more often than not. Will never get less unfair, RIP
Koris 07.18.23	Hard RIP :[
ffs 07.18.23	yeah i still spin all kinds of random shit i found from his revs or ratings too. i find it extremely life affirming to think what an impact he had repping cool/weird music for the benefit of us freaks far across the web. RIP
Emim 07.18.23	Dude was a gem. I loved how he had some of the most elite taste around (and the writing skill to describe it) but would also jam out to stuff like Bullet for My Valentine.
parksungjoon 07.18.23	agreed ffs and emim both
evilford 07.18.23	Based list, I feel you brother RIP hard Brandon
bellovddd 07.18.23	damn Brandon sounded like a good dude. rip
parksungjoon 07.18.23	hey mort that bandcamp is actually pretty cool thanks for sharing
PotsyTater 07.18.23	RIP
auberginedreams 07.19.23	Damn I didn’t know he passed away RIP
DadKungFu 07.19.23	Wish I'd interacted with him more but he was a kindhearted human being with an incredible breadth of knowledge
Mort. 07.19.23	@park no worries. he was in contact with at least one of the guys from cara neir and they finished off that project in memory of him (it was planned for him to do vocals). in one of the cara neir threads they said he was probably their biggest fan.
parksungjoon 07.19.23	never really checked that band do they usually sound like that?
parksungjoon 07.19.23	based and deserved tribute either way
Mort. 07.19.23	honestly ive only heard portals to a better dead world lp and the overwatch ep and theyve released a lot of stuff but generally they play screamo/grind/black/crust/hardcore etc
SteakByrnes 07.19.23	Brandon was great, I miss talkin with him
Storm In A Teacup 07.19.23	Spirit had such great taste in music.
YakNips 07.19.23	He’s been on my mind as well. Thanks for making this list
Hyperion1001 07.19.23	him inviting me to post on pervert the church was the first time i felt like i was welcomed into the sputnik community back in the day. i was basically repping exclusively symphonic black metal at the time and there were many users who loved shitting on cradle of filth and dimmu borgir, but brandon never gave a shit about the elitist metal mindset and always interacted positively and gave solid recs. he was integral to me being on this site for this long and it still hurts that hes gone. rest in peace buddy.
parksungjoon 07.19.23	awesome and somehow unsurprising hype glad u too got something out of it yak
Nikkolae 07.19.23	Wait Brandon passed? What the absolute fuck, omg fuck, no way.
butt. 07.19.23	Man had excellent taste and just a real nice presence around here.
DominionMM1 07.19.23	never really interacted much with him here but i chatted with him a bit on maniac’s discord not long before he passed. seemed like a nice dude. i hope his family and friends are doing ok
botb 07.19.23	Hard RIP, his presence is sorely missed
Relinquished 07.19.23	OGs me like me and hype kept him around cuz of the metal commonality and ferver for more that we all shared during the blogspot-mediafire time. If we kept coming he kept coming until he didn’t give a fuck what people thought about his taste and became that dude you could talk about attack attack to and also talk about vordr to. I’m glad he shared what he shared with us while he could, he was a real one. I wish I shared more during the PerverttheChurch era but we had our fun RIP fxxk13
normaloctagon 07.19.23	♥️
EyesWideShut 07.19.23	RIP a good mon
DaveyMonsoon 07.19.23	As a newer face to Sput, I wish I got to interact with him more. He always seemed like a really cool guy from what little I interacted with him. RIP
parksungjoon 07.19.23	appreciate the story wolfe i have no connection to pervertthechurch but i do have some fond memories of blogspots with mediafires in em
dedex 07.19.23	RIP. beautiful tribute park :]
Pheromone 07.19.23	rip brandon park ur awesome love all around
someone 07.19.23	mane, why u gotta open wounds like that. now im sad again
Demon of the Fall 07.19.23	great words park, truly touching I didn't know him well at all, but from reading his reviews and comments on my travels, he seemed like the sort of music lover we should all aspire to be. It's sad to realise what he must've been going through, yet you'd never know it from the way he interreacted with people RIP
Slex 07.19.23	Maybe too personal but I'm venting so, the saddest thing about the situation is that he was doing good, was happy and clean, had just spent the day with friends, and then decided out of nowhere to use that night and was gone in the blink of an eye
foxblood 07.19.23	He definitely helped my love of music grow, I will never forget him for that. I think he did that for a lot of people and that’s really cool. I don’t really know how he did it, it’s hard to explain. He was very accepting.. Every time I see his avatar in a thread I choke up a little
ConcubinaryCode 07.19.23	He is legend bro, that was the last thread I got to message him on.
Spec 07.19.23	He was there for me to talk to during a really awful time in my life and I’ll always be grateful for that.
Emim 07.19.23	Glad he got to listen to the latest He Is Legend
parksungjoon 07.19.23	i dont think i ever knew about his struggle slex, that sucks big time
ShadowRemains 07.20.23	wait wtaf i didn't know about this rip hard man, he was the first user who welcomed me to this website back in 2010 and was probably my first friend here jesus christ
Emim 07.20.23	Oh damn shadow I thought you knew already
ShadowRemains 07.20.23	barely was around here at all last year
Emim 07.20.23	Shit sucks man
Spec 07.20.23	Damn shadow what a way to find out :[
ShadowRemains 07.20.23	pervert the church my dudes
zaruyache 07.20.23	pervert the fucking church
cold 07.20.23	"i hope his family and friends are doing ok" I'm his friend on FB, and his mom is always tagging him in the most saddest posts
Hawks 07.20.23	Wait.......what. Someone please tell me this is a joke. :[
Purpl3Spartan 07.20.23	It is not :(
Hawks 07.20.23	I'm legitimately heartbroken. Fuck man I'm in tears. He was one of my best friends on the site for over a decade and we kept in touch up until last year when I wasnt on social media.
MO 07.20.23	he was a good one m/
Hawks 07.20.23	This blows. Can't believe I'm just now finding out. What the fuck man.....
MO 07.20.23	fyi... https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200628
Hawks 07.20.23	Funeral too? Fuck man what is going on?
evilford 07.20.23	Aw damn Im sorry Hawks This is still gutwrenching
Hawks 07.20.23	Bro I'm a mess. Finding out like this is so bad.
evilford 07.20.23	I knew you and Brandon were good friends. I hadn't seen you on here in quite a while and in the back of my head had been hoping since this happened that you wouldn't find out like this.
Hawks 07.20.23	He was honestly one of my best friends. Such an amazing, kind hearted man. My heart is literally hurting for him so hard bro. Love you Ford.
AsleepInTheBack 07.20.23	Pos and rip Gonna jam some Malfet tonight. Always reminds me of him.
evilford 07.20.23	Love u too hawks
Hawks 07.20.23	What you been jamming lately Ford bro?
veninblazer 07.20.23	Man... thespirit was great. Sorry you had to find out this way hawks.
Hawks 07.20.23	The best.
evilford 07.20.23	@hawks, lots of defeated sanity and Spawn of possession. Sprinkling of meshuggah and guts. U know, ford stuff :-)
Hawks 07.20.23	That's what I like to hear buddy.
PortalofPerfection 07.21.23	Yeah, weakest shit ever. I had this awesome back and forth with him on a Trha album review, and then came back to it a couple months later to try and chat him again when Damian dropped a new one…only to find out he's gone. I'm still not over it.
BMDrummer 07.21.23	brandon's review of the first Carcass album is still the first thing i think of whenever i play it, it really was bizarre to know somebody who was so fiercely knowledgeable and so kind at the same time, shit like that really was rare back then for better or worse lol RIP Brandon
CaliggyJack 07.21.23	Fuck he passed? God fucking dammit...
anarchistfish 07.22.23	A legend in both the BM and core threads. Says it all. Will forever think of him when I play Endless Hallway
BallsToTheWall 07.22.23	Yeah, it isn’t the same.
Hawks 07.22.23	:[[[[[[
parksungjoon 07.22.23	whats endless hallway
anarchistfish 07.22.23	He is Legend's latest album. He had received an advanced copy and was hyping us up for it when he passed. They'd been my favourite discovery of the previous few years. It was the first time I felt like we interacting more actively cos I was looking forward to reading his review, then boom
parksungjoon 07.23.23	ah understandable that sucks
Storm In A Teacup 07.23.23	Divaman also probably passed away earlier this year/last year
parksungjoon 07.23.23	wtf really
Storm In A Teacup 07.23.23	Yeah he was really sick.
parksungjoon 07.23.23	:[
AsleepInTheBack 07.23.23	Shit. Didn’t know that.
Hawks 07.23.23	Damn man that's fucked too. Poor Diva. :[
SpiritCrusher2 07.25.23	oh shit, spirits's gone? damn, rip. I've discovered a lot of cool bm thanks to him. this sucks man
somberlain 07.27.23	Can anyone tell me what happened to Spirit?
zakalwe 07.27.23	He is literally now a spirit.
Gyromania 07.27.23	"Divaman also probably passed away earlier this year/last year" whoa... that sucks man. was wondering where he was
zakalwe 07.27.23	Yeah bloody awful. Not having a reply to an e-mail I sent around Xmas was very worrying indeed. Seemed a proper bloke, I often think of him and his family.
zaruyache 07.28.23	I believe he relapsed. but what happened to divaman??
somberlain 07.28.23	"He is literally now a spirit." I get that he's dead, some specifics would be helpful
zakalwe 07.28.23	Diva had some sort of tumour I believe. He was certainly getting tests for something along those lines around a year ago
zaruyache 07.28.23	man
DungeonBoy 07.30.23	wtf Divaman passed away too? So many wonderful people on here gone way too soon, The Spirit, Divaman, Papa Universe. Had several really amazing conversations on this site with all three of them, they will all continue to be missed. RIP
CaliggyJack 07.30.23	No not diva...
AsleepInTheBack 03.27.24	Good list still miss his posi presence here
