 | Hawks Hell yeah buddy!! Glad you dig!
|
| Hawks Jam this bro! I think you'd love it. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=516440
|
 | Futures my bad missed that! absolutely man, cheers to health. exercising really is helpful for your mind. makes you feel good. really has changed a lot for me personally. btw you've gotta check out the new acacia! think it's up your alley. give my rev a read if it interests you! would love some feedback, think it's my best yet. so happy to see you back here friend.
|
 | bigguytoo9 100% lower mainland boy here born and raised.
|
 | mkmusic1995 Dude that sucks, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're feeling better now and would definitely love to see some writing from you. I have not been writing much recently either, just been in a bit of a funk but will hopefully snap that soon.
|
| Futures haha for sure man. sorry to hear that. i relate a ton sadly. got pnemonia again this year, hospitalized a few days in may. definitely took a lot out of me, been focusing on getting my strength back. back to daily workouts and feeling better. ups and downs with health. just gotta keep battling. on the right path i think.
|
| mkmusic1995 I've been good dude, just same ole stuff really. How you been doing?
|
| Futures oh that is fun to hear haha! i will have to do some sleuthing and figure it out. i definitely maintain contribs should have pos/negs! dude by a thread is crazy, heard their debut way back. i will absolutely check that out. and yes that pygmy lush album is stellar man. i loved the shift in sound. was working on a rev but scrapped it. think i will circle back on it! life been good?
|
| Hawks All good over here brother, good to see you around!! Will jam for sure!!
|
| Hawks Love you. Hope you're well buddy.
|
| Futures stoked to hear that my brother! this is a special place we all have a gravitational pull to. nothing can ever replace it. oh and i meant work together as in you join staff again! door is absolutely open if you want, trust me. but i'd for sure do some sort of weird collab review haha! shoot me a few 2k25 recs while you're at it!
|
| Futures hello friend! it's nice to hear from you again. high praise coming for you, means a lot. that album was such a letdown, love their old stuff. feel like i am hitting a nice groove and writing is getting easier. really excited for the future and seeing where i go. it would be fun to work together! you are always welcome back. hope you stick around and that life has been treating you well. hit me up off site if you aren't gonna stay! i'd love to chat.
|
 | bellovddd 24 hours they can?t hold me down!! I?m shook it wasn?t more. Felt good to be banned. It?s like I finally did something worthy!
|
| Futures btw if you come back or not regardless i would absolutely love your opinion on my rev of the new deadguy album. you love the genre like i do and i think i really did it justice!
|
| Futures absolutely man, just let me know whatever you decide. i love reading your stuff either way and you know maybe i'll get writing again. seriously reading your stuff reminds me of mine own style and gets my mind goin. you are the man and i've enjoyed chatting music with you over the past year or whatever.
|
| Futures if you ain't gonna be around anymore that's a bummer man. sput means more than that petty drama. if you'd like to stay in contact somewhere, let me know. if not, take care dude. you're one of the few reviewers i actually read on here and deserved a staff spot.
|
| Futures if you love film as an artform i think you'll get a lot out of it. absolutely wonderfully shot and so nontraditional in it's storytelling. best way i can describe it as like a living documentary museum piece.
|
| Futures ah gotcha, def get back in the loop haha! deer hunter is great saw it in college in a vietnam war class, need to go back and watch that again sometime. speaking of depressing drama's i watched the zone of interest finally yesterday. and yeah that one fits the bill!
|
| Futures summer movie season just kicking off! and that's great man lol. i live in a small town and my local theater is luckily pretty nice. it's perfect escapism, nothing like a dark room with no distractions. always been my solace. what kind of genres/movies do you really dig?
|
| Futures haha funny. skipped that one but i'll get to it eventually. tuesday did a doubleheader of dangerous animals and ballerina the john wick spinoff, got a slice of pizza at a local spot in between. two fun summer popcorn movies. very fun day! and bring her back was one i saw recently as well, great horror movie. not quite talk to me but still excellent.
|
| Futures feel ya man. sadly i know all to well the feeling. been a tough few years for me. hoping for a break to go my way for once. going outside is good, i've been walking some nature trails lately. need to do it more. movies are my main escape, i go once a week usually. wishing you the best man. if you ever want to talk about whatever i'm here.
|
| Futures how u doing big dog? congrats on 50 revs man.
|
| bellovddd gunna come out of review retirement for it. I can feel it in my bones
|
| bellovddd GHOST CHANT EP JUST DROPPED. ITS A SPICY BOI!!
|
| Hawks I try! I always like to write when its fresh in my mind lol. And hell yeah bro. Its pretty good money but I'd like to find something more stable sooner than later lol
|
| Hawks Annnnd review is up. Check it out!!
|
| Hawks I will indeed write something up for it! Its pretty unique in a genre where it's hard to do something really unique tbh. And I appreciate it buddy! I always bounce back so I'm not worried about it. My buddy builds pools so I'm helping him and making decent money until I find something else.
|
| Hawks Holy balls this RIPS. Reminds me a lot of Autopsy and/or Obliteration mixed with some My Dying Bride type gothic atmosphere and some bm in there as well. Amazing album bro!
|
| Hawks I have not but will jam as soon as I get home!
|
| Hawks Been getting into noise rock a lot more over the past year(ish) and that album hits all the right spots. Kinda lofi post-punk sounding too. Friggin love it lol.
|
| Hawks Good lord this Tunic album is amazing. You hit it out of the park on this one brother. Gonna take me a bit to figure out how/what I wanna write about this one but man it SLAYS.
|
| Hawks Wooooo sounds sick! Gonna jam and work on writing something up. Thanks my brother. :]
|
| Hawks Give me an album from this year that's outside my comfort zone (that nobody has dibbed yet lol) that I can review. I wanna branch out a bit more this year!
|
| Hawks Gaffed review will be up at some point tonight. Keep an eye out!
|
| Hawks Sounds good! Jamming it now and it sounds a bit more refined than the last one.
|
| Hawks About to turn it on now. Do you have dibs on a review for that by chance? I don't see it on the dibs list anywhere. If not I'll probably take a crack at it since I reviewed their first album lol.
|
| Hawks Not yet but I plan on it!!
|
 | JayEnder No problem brother :] random af I know but I just wish more ppl on here had your good vibes
|
| JayEnder Man you rule so hard just thought I'd let you know
|
 | Butkuiss Earwig?s Guide is a crowning achievement in weirdo heavy music imo, let me know your thoughts!
|
| Butkuiss On the topic of weirdo hardcore ? your Pygmylush review has me wondering if you ever ****ed with Gasp or Suffering Luna?
|
 | Wildcardbitchesss for sure man, glad you dug it! I can?t remember if you said you listened to any of the rest of their records but I?d just work my way backward.
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell lol i feel you - got to it just on the outer cusp of that Young Adult Crucible and am eternally grateful (hit up yamane if you want the more mature hangover album - is a more acquired taste, but it's one of my favs still today)
|
 | brickhed would be cool if you at least left a rating on the nimal album, did the work on the band page all by myself and nobody has noticed since nobody else has heard of the band
|
 | Dedes I just like me cozy folk vibes sometimes and bands like Rome and Musk Ox really do that for me (the latter of which are GOAT isolated forest jams i.e Woodfall and Inheritance)
|
| Dedes Not a problem my guy! Def worth digging through the catalog a bit since a lot of what he does is that similar minimalist euro-centric folk atmosphere albeit some of it has a touch of industrial too. Passage to Rhodesia is v good albeit kinda a weaker rehash of Flowers lol
|
| bellovddd oh s*** they got a album coming out soon as well. new song is the GOODS!!! God damn here we go!!
|
| Hawks Thanks so much buddy! Also nice TEOES 5!
|
| Hawks STAFF YESSSSS! Great job brother and very well deserved. :]
|
| mkmusic1995 Always appreciate your kind words on my reviews, my friend!
|
 | efp123 evanfpartridge on IG! Hit me up
|
| Futures good lookin out brother. i will absolutely be jammin that soon. that one step closer album is prob my aoty, few more to catch up on then i will finally post a list haha. normalize year end lists in march!
|
 | Sunnyvale Looks interesting, will check - thanks for the rec!
|
| efp123 hope you had a good bday!!! much love
|
 | cylinder nice, glad you dig it. ye i thought it was fun af
|
| cylinder Sup dude. You really enjoyed that last PeelingFlesh album which made me think this might be up your alley: https://carnifloor.bandcamp.com/album/engulfed-in-gold
|
| Futures dude i actually just listened to that sorcerer album a few days ago haha! very cool throwback and sweet atmosphere. i was gonna maybe give it a short rev unless you were thinking of it!
|
 | artiswar hey arti. was wondering how you personally kicked your addictions. just curious
|
 | JesperL hahah thank you! i was scrolling the comments and saw a username i recognised lol, really cool how small the internet can feel sometimes yeah :]
|
| Hawks Yesssss glad you dig it brother!
|
 | LucretiaMyReflection No rush. I am very thrilled you enjoy the record and super appreciative you took the time to check us out. The rest of the band are stoked you dig it, too. Hoping to hit the road a little more next year in support of it.
|
| LucretiaMyReflection If you do end up wanting to do a review for the record, let me know if you need any information or details to round anything out
|
| bellovddd deadzone is a solid read, also a great movie!!
|
| bellovddd coldheart canyon by clive barker is one of my favs. I still read King a lot, pet semetry if you haven't is my fav from him. Off Seaon by Jack Ketchum is also a crazy read.
|
| bellovddd love you bro. and god damn this new EP! GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
| Hawks Idk if I dig it more than the debut but it needs more listens for sure. Stage Four rules but its honestly like my 4th fav of theirs lol. Will report back with thoughts on Tenue shortly!
|
| Hawks Turning on Tenue once this new Touche Amore finishes up! **** this might end up as my fav or second fav of theirs the way its going right now. Not getting some of the low ratings.
|
 | durkl I just read your shout as I was preparing to post my review for the new Caribou album ;)
|
| Hawks Yeah bro had to do it lol. May not even comment on my own thread but gonna at least post the review lol.
|
| Hawks Yeah I'm gonna look into it. And don't say that bro. You 100% deserve it and I'm happy for you.
|
| Hawks I'm gonna have to make a discord. Never used it but would love to stay in touch with you also. Congrats on the promotion also man. You deserve it.
|
| Futures animal for sure man! one of my favorite deathcore albums.
|
| Futures ah man they're great. them and the red chord. such ahead of it's time stuff. when dxc was actually a blend of hardcore and death metal rather than mindless junz (i like that too lol)
|
| Futures keep it up man. excited to check that sacred deer album. love that old school dxc style. you ever jam animosity?
|
| Futures oh wow didn't realize you got promoted haha. congrats man. ain't worth much to me personally but you deserve it.
|
 | Sowing sowingsputnik@gmail.com
|
| Sowing Can you please email me from your preferred Sputnik-adjacent address so that I can invite you to the contributor discord? Thanks in advance, and congrats!
|
| Hawks YEAH BOIIII!! Appreciate it buddy. I know I'm not a pro but I do enjoy writing and I like to think I'm decent at it lol.
|
| Hawks Check my fav albums list again. The band you mentioned may have made it back on there. ;]]] Also just wanted to say I love reading your reviews. You're a fantastic writer buddy.
|
 | Jash You, myself, Pizza, Pots, that?s all I know
|
| Jash God damn, a rare BC sput user has appeared!
|
| Jash Just now saw your comment in the Unwound thread saying you?ll be at that show, you live in Vancouver???
|
 | Jurtz I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed Obscene Majesty!
|
| Futures ah gotcha haha. yeah definitely a cool scene from such a small area. i actually checked out tigers jaw for the first time last night from around the same spot. fun stuff!
|
| Futures appreciate that man, i'll check it out! you from that area?
|
 | thelamestallion Yep it's my favorite album by Shipping News :) I own it on bandcamp :)
|
| thelamestallion Take a special look at the band Ativin. They deserve so much more attention. Btw Steve Albini was recording the majority of their albums.P.S. Adding a new band called Cusper, this is dustercore, adding it in a few minutes :)
|
| thelamestallion Huge thank you for checking out my list :) I was trying my best. Apparently it's impossible to edit it on sputnik but I also want to include Dianogah - As Seen From Above. Check it out! :)
|
| Hawks Oh and also Merchant of Salt by Rrose!
|
| Hawks Well the new Skee Mask is incredible so def look into that. Been vibing heavy with Monolake lately too.
|
| Hawks Thanks buddy! Funny you're getting back into metal while I'm veering heavily towards jazz, folk and electronic stuff as of late lol.
|
| Hawks Sorry for the late response bro I was banned lol. So glad to hear it though!
|
 | jrlikestodance Great rec dude! Reminds me of Alk Trio meets As Friends Rust. Definitely prefer this more punk-leaning type of melodic hc to stuff like Counterparts and Defeater
|
| Hawks Good choices of bands to dig tbh lol. Hell yeah bro!
|
| Hawks How much into bm are you??? If not much that Summoning albumI reviewed would be a great starter! M///
|
| Futures i've been appreciating your postings man. you seem like a good dude.
|
| Hawks Cool bro will def jam!
|
| Wildcardbitchesss s*** man I wasn?t ignoring you I just haven?t checked by shout box, I?ll be on tomorrow night, Friday night, and pretty much all day Sunday. What?s your discord? I check that pretty much daily!
|
| Wildcardbitchesss sounds good man! I get off early on Wednesdays, just hit me up when you guys are on!
|
| Wildcardbitchesss idk if you?re on console or PC but my psn is lowfeelsblvd if you?re looking to play Helldivers! I might have one other friend to play with?
|
 | Get Low You should allow comments on your re-discovering the waterfront list. It's a good list.
|
 | GreyShadow "as if Algernon Cadwallader and PM Today had a baby" i hear the Algernon, but no idea where you're getting PM Today from...but curious
|
 | SteakByrnes Righteous brother we share an impeccable taste, much love
|
