Weekly Recap (Oct 21st-27th, 2024)

Discover Weekly

- King David - Slave Mind (It's a bop.)

- Xstitch - Sacred Geometry (Interesting, somewhat Grim Salvo -esque! I'll add it to the Three Song Listen list.)

- MAELSTROM BLVCK - A Blood Moon (🤟)

- Skythe Gang 666 x Lurk - Kliq 2 (I like the witch house influenced beat, but not the lyrics. The flows are quite mundane and repetitive as well.)

- BLIND8 - bulletproof (The inner emo teen in me loves this.)

- Bloodywood - Machi Bhasad (I still haven't listened to the album...)

- October Ends - DARK (It's like an emo version of Bad Omens.)

- Poppy - Never Find My Place (I liked the beginning. And, you know, she can't really go much heavier than she has recently, so this shift is a logical move. I like it a lot. This is the kind of metal I like.)

- No Terror in the Bang - Warrior (OH MY FUCKING GOD THAT TRANSITION from cleans to screams was SMOOTH AF!! Three Song Listen list. I love what I'm hearing! So badass!! 🤟)

- Deadric - Alchemy - SWARM Remix

- Beyond Awareness - Nightfall

On Thursday, listened to this playlist Spotify made for me, called "doom progressive metal thursday afternoon". Found the following songs from that:

- Thenighttimeproject - Hound (I've apparently heard Merkurius before, from the same group. -- It has an ex-Katatonia member, no wonder I love it!)

- Votum - Blackened Tree

- etc, it was a great list! I was running errands while listening to it, so I didn't have time to type down more than these.

Release Radar

- Banshee - BACKSTABBER (I prefered the heavier music she did, this seems way too soft compared to the lyrical matter...)

- BLAKSWAN - White Male (I'm starting to get a coherent picture of his as an artist, I think. He uses the shock factor to bring attention to important topics. The music industry is so oversaturated that one needs to do something to get their voice heard, stand out from the crowd somehow. I prefered Elephant, though. That message was way clearer than this. I can pick some points from this as well, but not as much as from Elephant.)

- Savage Ga$p x SXMPRA x GODHANDUSA - HAND OF GOD

- Berried Alive - CRANNIBAL

- Linkin Park - Over Each Other (Technically, the biggest metal band right now. The only metal band in the top 100 artists on Spotify, by monthly listeners (a YouTuber called boogiehead made a video about it). This is a rock song, though, not metal.)

- Bambie Thug - Fangtasy (Fangtasy 😂)

- Graveyardguy ft. Ayesha Erotica - Torture (It's pretty good! I was actually in the premiere, for the last minute. I thought BLAKSWAN was gonna have a premiere and he didn't, he just dropped a song on music platforms, no video. This song's alright.)

- Swallow the Sun - Under the Moon & Sun

- Sophie Hunter - Own Devices (❤️)

- Dorian Electra - 10 in the Morning

- Qveen Herby - RIP

- Talilo ft. Tech N9ne - My Shoes (He's hella talented! I'm following him to hear a few songs and to decide if I want to hear more.)

Ps. If anyone's tried to leave a comment in the past few weeks/months but hasn't been able to, I apologize! There was an issue and I fixed it.
