Yep, 6 inch glass prism. Have to hold it right against the filter ring to get the effect, then its a matter or finding the right rotation and angle (usually about 1/3rd into the diameter). Works best on lenses with larg elements, otherwise it just blurs the whole image.

and Ingested's new album, The Tide of Death and Fractured Dreams released the other day and isn't too bad, but it's very much Ingested. I've only listened through it once but I don't feel like there was anything particularly standout, and it was all pretty immediately identifiable as Ingested.

Just started listening to the new ERRA album and enjoying it lots so far. Great mixing and good pacing & tonal balance

Slow Sour Bleed reminds me of Darkest Days-era Stabbing Westward, just with much heavier sections. This is a very good thing.

Yeah as someone who’s made way too many excuses for them in the past, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back for me, completely stopped listening to them at that point.

Not sure if folks listen to Eidola (Andrew Wells’ other project) but their most recent album is killer, way more metalcore than their previous stuff but in a good way

this record is soft as baby poo poo lmao. i still like fury and the fallen ones and returners so i can at least keep listening to those but yeesh. octane-core

thinking about this has actually bummed me out a little, lol. bands change and poo poo happens. but they say your musical tastes are more or less solidified in your 20s, which i have found pretty accurate (i'm 42). it's super uncommon for a new band to do much for me, and as time goes on, more and more of the bands i have loved either call it quits (etid, misery signals, it dies today) or turn to poo poo (parkway drive, ghost inside), and metalcore as a genre now just seems like a sea of laptop bands. i'm just washed and complaining. glad i still have the acacia strain (although i have this feeling they're going to be hanging it up before all that much longer) and better lovers. maybe it's time for my classic rock era

I actually love the new TGI but it's real hard to share my enthusiasm because any description results in some of the bleakest sentences ever written. It's half "Breaking Benjamin covering a GaryVee video" and half "hey ChatGPT, write a Hatebreed song in the style of Wage War" but their songwriting just works for me in a way that none of the other bands who sound exactly the same do.

I only knew of her from those weird, almost creepy-pasta style youtube stuff she used to be in (and various channels covering it). To be honest I figured it must be something different, but nope, it's her.

I don't hate her solo stuff, tbh. You get some fun bubble gum pop AND some decent heavy music. Win-win.

here's the music video if you have no idea who poppy is and want a visual to go along with the music


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAuuVY__KQ0

here's a few more from poppy who is fine/decent as a solo pop/metal type artist who does some pretty interesting things in her weird little corner of the metal genre. it's kinda cringe nu metal stuff but it's actually not half bad just bc it leans into itself so hard. she's signed to sumerian, believe it or not. same label as slaughter to prevail, btbam, born of osiris, and veil of maya.

It's a little poppier than their previous release, but they still have those fun squat PR-inducing breakdowns and it hits the spot. I've always been a big fan of TGI myself (flew to their first show after the accident in LA/Shrine a few years ago) so I'm not exactly the most balanced/unbiased of listeners :shrug:

wamsutta, you mentioned something about people's music tastes being solidified or set in stone around the time of adolescence, and that might be true for most people, but on any given day i barely ever listen to anything older than a few months out. my favorite album from 2022 is something i probably haven't listened to since december of that year if not longer ago than that. new music comes out all the time and i basically need a direct injection as often as possible.

we're not that far apart in age btw, you said you're 42, i turn 40 in a month.

Very similar here, most of what I listen to is less than 5 years old with a majority <2 aside from my older favorites which I'll toss on whenever (there is no In Flames album or song that I will hit 'skip' on), and I've gotten into some completely different genres over the years.

I'm 40.

5+ years ago the majority of what I was listening to was hip-hop and electronica, before that it was loads of power metal with some black metal

I still have a soft spot for Michael Buble, Jason Mraz, and Jacob Lee though. :v:

I have the same need for new music all the time but I do think my taste in what *kinds* of music I will seek out has solidified in the last half decade or so, and I'm about 8 years younger than Shooga. It is almost exclusively some kind of heavy poo poo or a handful of middle-aged semi-underground rappers thede days.

enjoy your youth while it lasts, whippersnappers!

also, i highly recommend checking out the straight up metal thread on fridays. Nazzadan does the dark lord's work every single week updating the thread with about a dozen and a half bandcamp links of all different kinds of metal, even core stuff, which that thread is usually somewhat repellent to. if you like core, there's a high chance you'll like some dm or thrash or crossover or the best genre ever: slam

even if nothing is your cup of tea, it opens you up to just random new poo poo and gives you a little taste of what's out there

as for music taste changing as you age and stuff, in the last ~5 years, i def started broadening my horizons. i like synthwave, i like some neofunk, and in just the last like two years i started listening to more ambient stuff which def makes me feel like i'm hitting mid-life crisis levels of art appreciation.

but then just last week i found out about this band mask who are loving sick and reminds me while i'll never stop loving idiot breakdown music

Late 30s here and I also have a debilitating need for constant new music. I wouldn't say my tastes have solidified at any certain point - I've always listened to a wide range of stuff and will spend a couple weeks or months diving down whatever rabbit hole makes sense at the time (country, synthwave, jazz, prog, rap, ambient poo poo, post rock, stupidass jrpg sountracks, etc) with heavy music in general acting as a home base. I've shifted slightly from being a metal elitist in high school to preferring more alternative and hardcore-leaning stuff I guess but idk, music is good and cool and ~magical~ and has too much to offer to get stuck listening to the same 3 albums forever.

thanks for all the suggestions gang. it’s definitely not that I’m not open to new music, rather that it’s super rare for anything to really grab me the way stuff frequently did when I was younger. there are always exceptions, though, and I’m glad when I find them

There are some albums that are timeless, I’ll always come back to things like Jane Doe at least once a year or so, for example. Maybe 30% of my listening is really old stuff, 30% is completely new (to me), and the other 40% is newish stuff I’ve discovered in the last few months.

As an example, Vamachara has been on constant repeat for me all month since they were mentioned in this thread, thanks for that recommendation Shooga

This is kind of fair for me, i listened to a hundred+ new metal and hardcore albums last year and maybe a couple dozen rap albums (but I listened to Billy Woods more than any other single record) but I try to at least occasionally veer out of my lane. I listen to a lot of jazz but not much that's new, and I make a point of checking out at least a handful of bluegrass records every year.

as far as i'm concerned erra is the band that made the first two albums and the moments of clarity ep. once they got the new singer they became something else. it's dope to see them play some old old songs, but wouldn't be enough to get me to wanna go see them live
