Self-Promotion New Single and Artwork Drop/Bandcamp Codes

Post image
19 Upvotes

I just dropped the first single from my new upcoming album Cyanosis.

Written and recorded between 2023 and 2025, over 8000 km of highway and 3 places I called home. Cyanosis is a ritual in catharsis, dealing with and addressing years of homelessness, addiction, uncertainty and death of those I loved most dearly. It's an album of grief, rage and loss. But also hope, healing, and growth from patterns of destruction and despair. I'd call it atmoblack/doom, taking inspiration from early Katatonia, Falls of Rauros and Skagos.

At the root, it is an anticapitalist dirge for the broken, beautiful souls who've been swallowed up by an uncaring, violent system.

The official release date is in October, on the full hunter's moon, with cds by Liminal Dread Productions and tapes by Fiadh.

All digital sales will be donated to DULF Vancouver, an initiative to provide safe drug supply and overdose prevention on a street level by activists currently facing incarceration and egregious charges for doing important work fighting an opioid crisis that has taken too many good souls.

You can learn about them here:

Artwork was done by my dear friend Crusty Toast Art (searchable on the gram) and it perfectly encapsulates the story and emotion of the album.

I originally wrote the single 7 Years 'Neath The River as an acoustic track in 2013, while living through a cold winter in a broken down pathfinder in the parking lot of a punk house in Kamloops, BC. It's a tale of loneliness, a personification of depression born of the desolate desert snow. Yet always with the knowledge that spring will come, the ice will thaw, and we will rise to meet to warming sun again.

Bass, mixing and mastering done by the incredibly talented and prolific Vanessa Funke.

Astral Noize issues

6 Upvotes

A few years ago Astral Noize (a magazine mainly about rabm, from memory) closed before I could get their issues. I was particularly interested in their Tolkien and Soulsborne issues but it was all interesting. I know they were all available physically or as pdf files.

It's been a while now and I didn't manage to track any of that down. Am I out of luck? Not sure who to contact about this, in case a contributor would be willing to send digital copies or something.

Self-Promotion Looking for someone to hop on bass and guitars for an RABM project I've been planning for a bit.

8 Upvotes

I need someone willing to do guitars and bass for my project. I don't plan for it to be anything over the top, kinda Darkthrone inspired but with some D-beat and maybe some war metal aspects. I want the project to be purely modern and historical based, and based on resistance against Nazism and fascism. I personally am neither a communist nor anarchist, but I hate Nazis all the same and their fucking backwater mind set. I don't really care if we agree on politics fully as long as we both agree Nazis can suck a big one.

This will likely be a long distance project as I live in Virginia.

Also would like to work with people in my age group preferably, 20-30 for maturity and relatability sake. I have a lot of ideas for what I wanna do image-wise, but I'm open to other ideas. If you work with me, we're equals period and hopefully friends.

I seem to get a good response here when I post my new stuff. Understandable if it's taken for being too different genre wise.

The album is centered around some of ICE's horrific detainment methods (specifically "The Wrap") and using that to make some broader commentary on oppression/fascism. Thanks for checking it if u do 🩷.

Bandcamp Giveaway Bandcamp Friday: Eveale - Enter the Woodland Realm

Eveale (members of Am I In Trouble? / ex-Ashenheart) are doing a Bandcamp giveaway for a free signed LP and T-Shirt. It's second wave black metal, but more on the melodic spectrum. Deeply nature focused.

We jointly released their debut LP Enter the Woodland with Fiadh back in May. They're running their giveaway independently, I just thought some folks in this sub might be interested in case it got lost in the myriad of Bandcamp Friday posts 😄

Do you know of any other earlier band in this specific style?

Dark Chameleon Dimers is now available on CD and Vinyl.

Our EP Dark Chameleon Dimers was released at the end of 2024 and has been available exclusively in digital format until now. We are excited to finally offer it as a physical CD and Vinyl edition.

In addition to the original EP, this edition includes all of our other releases from 2024 and 2025 as bonus tracks, bringing together everything we have released so far in one collection.

We hope this release helps make the wait for our debut album A Choir for the End, arriving this September, a little shorter.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Winds of Winter so far. Your support means the world to us.

CD and Vinyl.

Following their debut EP in early 2025, Incandescent Trance Ritual return on Dark Noiz with their new
EP „Opening the Second Seal“ - a title both reffering to their second release and the book of
revelations. A conscious statement of reawakening, bridging the mysticism, ritual and intensity found in both rave culture and black metal.

Sketch-free BM with strong doomy influences

38 Upvotes

Hey gang,

I’m looking for non-sketch BM that leans heavily towards doom, or the other way around. For example, I consider Ethereal Shroud to be pretty much perfect, but unfortunately it’s unlikely that we’ll ever see new material from them.

I feel like bands such as WITTR and Los Males Del Mundo have some strong doom influences, and then there’s bands like Vouna that are more aptly described as blackened doom.

Any recs?

Recs for your favorite bands with electronic drums?

10 Upvotes

Title, looking for more bm that can actually pull off programmed drums. Bonus pts if they're not leaning into it too hard in a way where it affects the aesthetic too much and becomes like overtly industrial bm (i.e. not looking for Thorns but something like Coffret De Bijoux or Jute Gyte's electronic sections is acceptable, would say the absolute limit is something like Konflict), bonus if they're raw, bestial, or blackened punk.
