I remember hearing an interview with Tyler earlier were he talks about this. Basically saying that he felt he became famous way too early and that he now feels that all of the dumb shit his teenage self said in public had closed that a lot of doors for him that he regrets, but that he is fine with people resenting him for it because at the end of the day he did say all of those things.
Sannhet is a pretty cool Brooklyn-based post-rock/shoegaze band with blackened edges. Not quite metal per se, so here it goes.

Listening to A State of Trance, like I do every week. Suddenly there’s 57 seconds of BOOM that end really abruptly…
Here’s the original mix:

I didn’t want to like this. But two days after I can’t stop singing.

This is a certainly not for everyone. It takes a while to get into and unpack but really worth it for the end result. By the band Wolves in the Throne Room, Thrice Woven is a challenging album that had its hooks in me for the last couple of days now. It twists between fairy tails and this dark unsettling black metal. It is beautifully composed, and after about two years of production and recording you would hope so. You can feel the elements of repetition stretch to the perfect point before changing up again. Every piece feels so well selected to build the growing mood of the album. You will go on a journey with this album there is no doubt.
I was out deep in the mountains this weekend walking a small bear in the woods with this playing. And for a moment I wasn’t in Japan, I was in this dark world, this ephemeral feeling crept over me till I was enveloped. For a good half an hour I forgot where I was it was disorientating but wonderful at the same time. Then I actually got lost but that is a different story.
It is hard to find black metal that truly stands out, especially from America which can be looked down on my the Scandinavian side. But if you are willing to put the time in then you will be rewarded.

I am filled with Envy I only got into them a couple of months ago and found out that the new album was out two days ago.
Dude, truly the opposite. I’m jealous that you get to discover them for the first time. Sorry if my post sounded a bit condescending, it’s just that there was a huge disconnect between your post and how I saw the band: that of nostalgia and memories of being a teenager.
Nah no worries I totally get what you mean. There are bands that I love that people just find. Its all great! Gives different perspectives and views. That being said how I haven’t found this band before is mad.
Insecure Season 1 & 2 Soundtrack is just too good. It introduced me to a lot of young up and coming R&B/Hip Hop artists. A lot of good mellow stuff that you can just kick back to with others having good beats that just either makes me bob my head or start dancing. Also they both contain Issa Rae’s raps which are PRICELESS.

Also I finally discovered how wonderful Kendrick Lamar is.
Alright is my national anthem for getting through all this fucking bullshit with Trump.
