It's pretty on-brand for me to try Thou again and start with bouncing through their Nirvana covers compilation lmfaooo

@DMX yeah my major marvel exception is Deadpool. He is a silly bisexual fellow and his escapades make me laugh and are pretty well-done on film tbh

@schrodingers_cat agreed, I think the reason I follow mc bands only sporadically is because the ones I like have managed to *really* do a good groove and these like, epic production values or whatever— and then other bands just absolutely don't have that

@schrodingers_cat oh yeah it's definitely metalcore but I think (insofar as I follow metalcore as a genre, which is to say not a whole lot but I respect a good chunk of it) it seems like some of the newest metalcore acts are borrowing more strongly from nu metal than earlier acts were already doing. If that makes sense

Big disclaimer that I did non-ironically listen to both Evanescence and Limp Bizkit in that era lol

This is Spiritbox's latest (and as far as I can tell first real) album and it occupies this odd space where it's like Jinjer intersected with Evanescence. But I think these songs sound almost as good in their studio version as they did live. I don't know what The Kids These Days™ are doing with their nu metal revival, but they're at least coming up with shit that's way more fun than the garbage I remember from the Slipknot/Korn/Godsmack/Bizkit heyday

Other musical goals for the day are to try more Mastodon and Spiritbox than I heard at the concert, also to re-try Thou and/or Emma Ruth Rundle because of how they didn't work when I tried them way earlier this year (last year? idk) but they really seem to fall in the realm of music I'm sure people would boggle at me not knowing if they know both me and those artists

I am coming back to Chelsea Wolfe's Birth of Violence just to be totally sure I should put it on my personal wishlist, but 30 seconds in and I'm pretty sure I know what the answer will be

I just watched an old lady do the most goth music video ever? And the mari lwyd quotient was at not 1, but 3?
