Pangea
12.25.22 | Also i did need to step in as santa few times so i am a valid guess! |
garas

deathofasalesman
12.25.22 | MURRY CHRIMMUS
Oh shit Japanese screamo Iām down! Thank you |
Squiggly

Sinternet
12.25.22 | excited to check mine, I know one or two tracks but never dived into the whole album so will be interesting |
Trifolium
12.25.22 | Niiiiiiice! Thanks Santa, this has been on my radar but for some reason I never checked. Hyped! |
Sinternet
12.25.22 | ooh trif you'll love that one, destiny is a track i used to dj a ton |
Trifolium
12.25.22 | Thanks Sinta- eeeh Sint!
No no no I'm not ready to make my guess yet. I'll first jam the album a couple of times! |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.25.22 | Hum...a French rec...the research starts now. Tks very much! |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.25.22 | I do approve and I'm following Johnny's suggestion! |
Trifolium
12.25.22 | "I do approve and I'm following Johnny's suggestion!" [2] |
Demon of the Fall
12.25.22 | Oh, weirdly I have actually heard The Icarus Line, in fact I have a copy of Penance Soiree somewhere. Seems I havenāt rated it though, whoops. I havenāt heard this one at all, so could be a decent rec šš»
Thanks to my Santa & Merry Xmas š everyone! |
theBoneyKing
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas all, and thanks for the rec Santa! |
DadKungFu
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas everyone, don't have the faintest guess who my secret santa was but looking forward to the album! |
gg901goody
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas! |
Egarran
12.25.22 | Well I went straight to the ratings page. Being on there is obviously a double bluff.
Thanks for the hiatus. |
DavidYowi
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas everyone! Looks like I got a gazecore record under my tree, and from the two songs I listened to it seems like they have a unique spin on the sound. Very nice! I'll jam the full album when I'm making dessert for Christmas. |
DadKungFu
12.25.22 | I do know Polvo, only heard Today's Active Lifestyle though and it was maybe 6 years ago so I may as well have never heard it! |
YoYoMancuso
12.25.22 | Canāt wait to check my album out, merry Christmas everyone! |
Demon of the Fall
12.25.22 | my rec is clearly from Aquabatgirl as they were the last to rate it back in 2014
š¤ yeah, not much to go on there, if I wanted to play detective! |
Manatea
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas everyone! Also thanks for the rec!!!! This is fantastic so far |
Zac124
12.25.22 | Merry Christmas! I have absolutely no idea for who my Secret Santa is but as soon as I can I will listen to it. Definitely needed to listen to more Black Metal so thanks for the rec! |
sixdegrees
12.25.22 | I'd already heard my rec in the past but not rated it, kinda based |
SlothcoreSam
12.25.22 | Oh sweet I got a 2022 release, there is still a week left to edit my year end list.
Thanks santa |
Prancer
12.25.22 | Ok well mine is just a troll album so good joke I guess? |
fogza
12.25.22 | Thanks for my rec, will check it tomorrow and CRACK THE CASE I AM ON TO YOU |
MoM

12.25.22 | @Slothy,
I wasā¦ not your Secret Santa! |
SlothcoreSam
12.25.22 | Lol, that's the percentage I'm leaning on first guess |
tyman128
12.25.22 | Super hype to check my rec, merry christmas everyone! |
SlothcoreSam
12.25.22 | K, so MoM drops down a few points, unless he is double bluffing me. Hmmm |
DadKungFu
12.25.22 | Tentatively eliminating JotW, MoM, MinorTimbo and SlothcoreSam from the likely candidates |
MoM
12.25.22 | I think mine was Scorn
@DadFu
Can confirm that I was also not your Secret Santa |
porcupinetheater
12.25.22 | Fucking sweet been meaning to check out Stara Rzeka for ages |
Manatea
12.25.22 | Secret Santa, whoever you are, my rec slaps so hard thank you so much for that.
Also Sloth, it aināt me lol |
Prancer
12.25.22 | @MoM thanks I appreciate that, will check |
ArsMoriendi
12.25.22 | Whoever picked Mood Valiant: I love you |
Drifter
12.25.22 | no one will ever guess who i was the santa of muahahahahhaa |
Drifter
12.25.22 | whoever recād me alex g knows me beyond my sput ratings which is nice to know happens. looks right up my alley i will jam as soon as i can, man |
Egarran
12.25.22 | >Whoever picked Mood Valiant: I love you
I'm not sure I quite mirror that emotion. But I choose to believe this santa meant me well. |
Demon of the Fall
12.25.22 | Damn there are some good recs here (that I wasnāt responsible for), the one I recād is obviously good, but hmm yeah š¤ |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.25.22 | @manatea, the new one is even better |
DadKungFu
12.25.22 | Polvo album is very good, more mellow and also more unconventional than expected, thanks secret santa! |
Scornfyre
12.25.22 | Idek why I just have a weird hunch that Slex was my secret santa. |
Scornfyre
12.25.22 | I started that Trophy Scars album a few weeks back, but didn't get past the first song. I do not remember how I came to listen to it, but whoever originally recced it to me was probably my secret santa. |
tyman128
12.25.22 | Whoever is my Secret Santa, thank you, this album is amazing |
ToSmokMuzyki
12.26.22 | kinda wanta just listen to everyones santas lmao |
Manatea
12.26.22 | @Deftone Iām listening to it right now this is nuts I love this lol |
DadKungFu
12.26.22 | Alright I'm putting YoYoMancuso as my official guess |
Squiggly
12.26.22 | I wanna guess Sloth but I feel like that would be too obvious |
Zac124
12.26.22 | To whoever my Secret Santa is, Thanks for the rec! Yellows Eyes is very much outside my genre comfort zone which is good. The instrumentation is great but the vocals have not quite clicked with me yet. Will give more listens though. |
cor22222
12.26.22 | I want to, thank you |
Pangea
12.26.22 | i'm sampling a track or 2 from each album. Definitely some cool stuff here!
Love to see all the guesses, keep them coming |
Demon of the Fall
12.26.22 | ākinda wanta just listen to everyones santas lmaoā
Yeah, me tooā¦ the albums from the selection I have heard are very good, in fact a couple are spectacular. It piques my curiosity i.e. what other gems have been unearthed here.
Then again, it isnāt very Christmasy to be stealing presents š |
fogza
12.26.22 | I'm thinking this might be a Boney rec but I ain't 100% this game messes with your mind it does argh |
theBoneyKing
12.26.22 | Enjoyed my rec on the first go! My current guess is Johnny just because I know he rides for that album but could be someone else. |
fogza
12.26.22 | Mentions Boney, Boney comments... Hmmm it's all falling into place |
Demon of the Fall
12.26.22 | I literally havenāt a clue, but will go with porc for liking noisy punk / rock type shit to the point he has achieved a noise rock pie slice, could also be sloth or (probably) a few others, but I clearly lack the knowledge of my neighbours
Whoever it is was savvy enough to (presumably) delete their rating! |
Sniff
12.26.22 | Haven't heard mine yet. But going by probability my secret santa is Pangea. I'm very fun at parties i promise. |
Sniff
12.26.22 | Okay I'm hearing some I Like Trains and some Sunset Rubdown in this. Time to investigate. |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.26.22 | This shit slays...I'm going with one of these 3 dudes, in this order
Sniff
Dedex
Bedex |
YoYoMancuso
12.27.22 | verdict: Black Foxxes rip. Based on the fact that they sound like haunted Silversun Pickups, my guess for my santa is Con |
Squiggly
12.27.22 | Ok Iāve narrowed my Santa down to Sniff, Sloth, Sint or deathofasalesman. Pretty sure itās Sloth! |
Manatea
12.27.22 | I have no idea who my Santa is. I want to say Deftone because of the comment but that would be too easyā¦ |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.27.22 | My comment says it all! |
Egarran
12.27.22 | I am going by pure intuition and I feel Drifter is my Santa. |
DavidYowi
12.27.22 | That Hundredth album is really good! Has an energy to it that I havenāt heard in most other heavy gaze type records, very danceable! |
PitchforkArms
12.27.22 | Put off listening to The Dear Hunter for waaayyyy too long. This rec rips HARD and I haven't been into the bouncy proggy stuff in awhile. Wooooooooo. Thank you santa, wherever you may roam. |
PitchforkArms
12.27.22 | Also, the rec seems so ubiquitous that I have zero inclination as to who the gifter was... EXPOSE YOURSELF |
SlothcoreSam
12.27.22 | I'm locking in Ty for 4 my santa, but honestly could be anyone. A little known German Post Hardcore band with 2 ratings by nonparticipating users. |
Egarran
12.27.22 | What PFarms, you HAVE to guess. |
fogza
12.28.22 | Thanks for the rec, pleasant album. I am going to say it's boney |
PitchforkArms
12.28.22 | I'm guessing Johnny or Cuso |
Sinternet
12.28.22 | so my album was really nice! the track i did know already (yer spring) actually ended up being one of the lesser cuts on there, which was a nice surprise although everything was good overall. standouts were the title track and welcome, which definitely felt like they had a bit more oomph and staying power. trying to guess who's the most likely on the list to rec sowingcore hmm... i'm gonna go either storm or trif (not checking ratings even though i want to because that spoils it) |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.28.22 | I'm totally falling for my santa's gift. This neurosis col thing is really carefully done, not only the little variations on the riffs, but all the connection between the tracks and the sound effects. Sweet. Gave it the initial 4 but lets see. I cam only see it grow. |
deathofasalesman
12.28.22 | i'm waiting for my record to come in the mail
bought that shit for $6 on discogs :) |
Egarran
12.28.22 | Meanwhile my santa mistakenly thought I needed more R&B in my life |
Drifter
12.29.22 | ima guess davidyowi for mine for the f of it |
Trifolium
12.29.22 | I think mine is actually Sint. Not sure, could be a more dex-y person too, or even Johnny? I'm confused. |
deathofasalesman
12.29.22 | it only makes sense that johnny got mine |
deathofasalesman
12.29.22 | that album is a grower, band in general feels like a grower
really cool melodic stuff (and it's not mine) |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.29.22 | Oooh wait...just checked that my santa politelly gave me the Deezer link to the record! That dude potentially knows me too well, cause its the app I use and noone uses that shit around here...hum |
DavidYowi
12.30.22 | "ima guess davidyowi for mine for the f of it "
I've never heard Alex G lol |
Drifter
12.31.22 | even more proof.. |
brainmelter
12.31.22 | Iām liking my gift so far! Going to spin again before giving thoughts, as to who gave it to me, I have no idea whatsoever maybe trif or prancer
my gift is pretty obvious heh |
Pangea
12.31.22 | Last day to get any guesses in before i reveal everything tomorrow! |
Kompys2000
12.31.22 | One listen into Phil Ochs and I think I smell fellow lefty blowhard appreciator SINTERNET here but Im gonna listen again and see if anything else reveals itself. Good good shit; draft dodger rag is my hardest keep so far |
DDDeftoneDDD
12.31.22 | In a twist of events my vote goes for Demon. |
Pangea
01.01.23 | Secret Santas are revealed! i hope you all had fun š |
fogza
01.01.23 | Thanks for shopping for me kompys! |
MoM
01.01.23 | Ayyy, thanks, DavidYowi! Good looking out and great choice! |
garas
01.01.23 | I knew it was DDD, hehe!
> ooo garas!! didn't see that one coming, real nice!!
š |
Demon of the Fall
01.01.23 | Dx3 got that it was me at the final hurdle, thought the Deezer thing might help him get it!
oh, so Foggy is mine? Didnāt see that coming at all. Need to give it another go in his honour, as I wasnāt completely sold |
theBoneyKing
01.01.23 | Ah it was not Johnny after all! Trif makes total sense though, I should have said him as a secondary guess. |
Demon of the Fall
01.01.23 | Souvenirs couldāve been me! Honestly, it is better than the thing I actually recād! (however, this was user specific and Dirge made sense for DDD)
hopefully weāll see you in The Gatheringās threads soon enough Boney |
Egarran
01.01.23 | Dedex you're a winner! As a reward I will 5 an album of your choice. |
fogza
01.01.23 | "Need to give it another go in his honour"
No need to force it, I'm good with whatever reaction š |
SlothcoreSam
01.01.23 | Hahaha, Slex got me good! |
Sniff
01.01.23 | Whomst didn't show up? |
Manatea
01.01.23 | Sniff!!! Thanks much good sir! |
Pangea
01.01.23 | @Sniff in your case it was Gnnochi |
DavidYowi
01.01.23 | I'll be honest, the moment I got my secret santa I checked the ratings, but I was sure I got Jesper lol. Thank you deathofasalesman, Rare is a great record! |
Demon of the Fall
01.01.23 | āNo need to force it, I'm good with whatever reaction šā
Oh alright, in that case I wonāt š
Either way, thanks! Itās the thought that counts |
theBoneyKing
01.01.23 | Youāll see me in the Souvenirs thread soon enough Demon, was avoiding it until the Santa reveal. |
Sniff
01.01.23 | Anytime my friend |
PitchforkArms
01.01.23 | Hell yeah, Pan, thank you for the gift. Was amazing and will listen many more times - Iāll get to Storms rec that kissed the time-cut as well (:
Komp, hope you like the Phil Ochs! The Hank Williams love led me down that path - just a dude and his guitar crooning. |
YoYoMancuso
01.01.23 | Thanks Con! I dug Black Foxxes |
Squiggly
01.01.23 | I knew it was Sloth! Thanks dude! Happy new year everyone!!! š |
Drifter
01.01.23 | prancer!! |
Sniff
01.01.23 | Btw great job Pangea |
DDDeftoneDDD
01.01.23 | Loool cool! My sput circle is closed honnestly. I really love grumpy demon and grumpy garas.
Also garas you can come clean with Paradise Gallows eheh main goal was achieved, which was putting you through it. Did you managed to end it? You can go through the Rev now, it explains it pretty well.
I loved that album from Dirge, Demon, so tks a lot.
And finally this was very good Pangea. Tks a lot. |
DDDeftoneDDD
01.01.23 | Oh happy 2023 yall |
Kompys2000
01.01.23 | Darn I really thought I might have had it! Tysm pitchforkarms, Phil got me through a pretty unpleasant morning of travel earlier this week and I'm grateful to the both of ya |
Sniff
01.01.23 | Dirge do be slappin |
ArsMoriendi
01.01.23 | Good choice Manatea |
DadKungFu
01.01.23 | Cheers Con, was trying for something that would be your thing, feel like I only partly succeeded but hope you enjoyed it.
Also yuss, guessed my Santa on the first try |
Squiggly
01.01.23 | Sad that Storm never showed up. I hope you still listen to DSHS tho, it should be right up your alley Storm! |
tyman128
01.02.23 | I don't even know why I didn't consider Boney for my rec, absolutely fantastic pick for me brotha! |
Manatea
01.02.23 | Lol thanks Ars. Unfortunately Egarran wasnāt so pleased but I apologized so itās all good. |
Trifolium
01.02.23 | dedeeeeeex thanks!!!!! That was a lovely rec. |
Egarran
01.02.23 | What no I'm totally fiving that right now. |
Minortimbo12
01.04.23 | YOO ZAC NOICE |
Zac124
01.04.23 | Glad you enjoyed it Minortimbo! |
