It’s really good to see this. As a long-time metalhead who will never tolerate fascism and bigotry in this scene or anywhere else, I’m always enthused to see others push back against that bullshit too.

Steve Vai recently said this album should be studied for its intensity and intricacy.

Saaame

This is an incredible album.

Yeah there’s an honesty in his voice that really resonates with me.

Anathema are one of my favourite ever bands. This entire album is immensely important to me.

Oh nice! I’m having to be careful with money at the moment, otherwise I’d have bought tickets for their UK tour too. I managed to see them last year with Pijn though, and they were great.

It’d be real nice if we could celebrate the fact that this is good news on an “uplifting news” community rather than devolving into whataboutism.

I think this absolutely belongs here. Great band, great track. I love what Skindred do.

I didn’t intend to be dismissive and if my response sounded that way then I apologise.

I agree it’s difficult to be on the receiving end of vague signals, but my perspective is if there’s any annoyance or frustration it should be directed at the violent/angry men who have caused women to feel unsafe.

Helping women feel safer by tackling the violence and misogyny directed at them by men will benefit everyone.

While it might feel rough for you, it’s worth remembering that a lot of women have faced very real threats of violence for their upfront honesty.

If you’re only getting vague signals then maybe that’s the sign that she’s not fully into you.

I’d second this suggestion, I’ve used borg with rsync.net for the past 4 years and it’s been great.

Glad you like it!

I remember when I first heard it, it didn’t immediately grip me and I put it away for a while. But when I came back to it I was blown away, now it’s one of my favourite albums. Along with You Fail Me it’s an absolute masterpiece.

Yeah I really like his tone and playing style. I’ll be checking more out by him.

Oh wow this had completely passed me by. I love this style, thanks!

I can’t speak for the mods but I’d love to see original music here.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. You didn’t deserve it: nobody does.

You’re doing your best.

This internet stranger is proud of you.

Fast forward 400 years and a new religion gets started when someone unearths the metal blog tablets.

Paramore’s response to this was so classy: https://deadline.com/2024/02/paramore-tennessee-house-resolution-grammy-wins-allison-russell-snub-1235829012/
