Repetitive Wild Queen

Hey, Readers.  How has the weather been treating you?  Seems like it doesn't know if it wants to be spring or winter.  Pick one.  Preferably spring.  Anyway, I'm back with a quickie music dump.

Let's start off with those gents from the UK, Peak Flow.  The duo have returned with a new single called "Repetition".  They described the song as capturing a relationship stuck in the same unresolved argument.  Circling, repeating, neither side prepared to give.  The tension doesn't explode; it lingers quietly unresolved, more out of exhaustion than understanding.  A music video for the single can also be found on YouTube.

From Chicago, Illinois, we have Panic Priest.  This is a project that showcases the songs of Jack Armondo.  The singer, songwriter multi instrumentalist describes his sound as having deep crooning vocals while weaving together dream-like guitars and synths.  Have I told you synth is my favorite word?  If you didn't know already, now you do.  Panic Priest's latest album, Once Wild, is out now.

Now we head to Las Vegas, Nevada.  A.K.A. Sin City.  Formed in 2020, Pitch After Dark is a band that has a passion for making dark music that you can dance to while living in darkness.  Their latest album, Dark Queen, gives haunted house vibes.  I have no complaints about that.

That was my quickie music dump.  Hope you give these artists a listen.  Before I go, I just wanted to plug my Ko-fi page.  If you want to leave me a tip, feel free to click the link in this post, in the blog's header or the support me button on the side.  Til next time.

Metaphysical Demigod Visions

 

Hey, readers.  Back again with some more music recommendations from Bandcamp.

• Guillotine Dream: I talked about this band before in a previous post.  But I'm bringing them up again because they have a new album coming out called Demigods.  The album doesn't come out til October 15, but it's available now for digital pre-order.  The band also made 3 of the singles off the album available to listen to on their page.
• Vision Video: Vision Video is a goth-pop band from Athens, Georgia.  They describe they're sound as dance music for the end-times.  Nice.
• Tony Moon: I don't listen to that much rap/hip-hop music.  Mostly because I find a lot of it to be crap.  Don't @ me.  But once in a while, I will come across an artist with a sound that I can vibe with.  That's the case with Tony Moon.  Tony's sound is ...... trippy.  A good trippy.  He raps about subjects that range from the metaphysical to politics.  Definitely recommend checking him out.

To listen to any of the artists that I have listed, just click on their names and you'll be directed to their Bandcamp page.  And so ends this blog post.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my Ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "KO - FI" and in my profile.  I also just recently opened up a Ko-fi Shop to sell my handmade jewelry.  The link to that shop can be found on my page.

To the Guillotine!

Hey, readers.  Popping in with another bandcamp review/recommendation.  This time for Guillotine Dream's latest album Damaged and Damned.  The whole album screams old school gothic rock and gave off Sisters of Mercy vibes.  Highly recommend.

In other news, I finally figured out the problem I was having with streaming on twitch.  Now I can start doing listening parties on the platform.  Did one over the weekend for The Long Losts'  latest album At This Late Hour.  Might be doing some watch parties there as well.  The link to my twitch channel can be found in the header and in my profile.

Project Goth Playlist Tag

Hey, readers.  I got tagged by The House of Wyvern to do the Project Goth Playlist Tag.  Here's a quick rundown of how the tag works.

• Suggest a band.
• How did you find the band?
• Additional Info: band's history, albums, etc.
• Suggested tracks.

The band that I picked for this tag is Midnight Calling.  I found out about them via a Vampire Freaks band invite.  The gothic rock/darkwave band was formed back in October 2016 by Yasmin and Scott.  Their sound combines 80's darkwave ambience, post-punk guitar riffs and driving bass lines.  Album is still in the works.

Two tracks that I suggest checking out are Howl to the Moon and Turn on the Light.  These tracks give a feel for Midnight Calling's sound.  If you enjoy reading my blog and want to show some love, consider donating to my ko-fi page.  The link can be found in the header under "SUPPORT".  Til next time.

Bandcamp Bandwagon

Hey, readers.  Finally signed up for bandcamp.  Now, I can follow the artists that I like on there instead of bookmarking their pages.  Don't know why I didn't think to sign up sooner.  Anyway, I wanted to talk about a couple of bands that I recently started following.

The first one is October Burns Black.  A gothic rock band consisting of artists from other bands in the scene.  They described the tracks on their debut album, fault line, as a nod to the past with a distinctly forward looking orientation.  The band draws influences from death, living and dreams.  The other band that I want to talk about is Astari Nite.

Astari Nite hails from Miami, Florida.  Their sound is a mix of post-punk and new-wave.  Through their semi-cinematic productions, they explore the themes of magic, melancholy, love and submission.  These bands are worth scoping out.  So, I highly suggest you do so.

I caught wind of October Burns Black and Astari Nite from the youtuber, Skullgirdle.  You can check out her channels here and here.  Til next time.
