    When I was a pre-teen and teenager, pop-punk and emo were popular.

    Turns out I haven’t outgrown this genre. I now listen to more music from a variety of different genres and time periods, but ultimately, 80% of my library is still early 2000’s pop punk.

      The soundtracks for almost any of the Guilty Gear games are just pure energy and fun and I totally recommend them

      Same, I have a playlist full of songs from games that I’ve played like Nier automata and Undertale. Used to think people who liked video game music were cringey until I started playing video games myself and found the songs very catchy

        The Nier automata soundtrack is on another level. What a collection of absolute masterpieces.

        Weight of the world still brings a tear to my eye.

          To me, it’s both Weight of the world and Song of the Ancients that makes me teary eyed.

    Gonna use this post as a chance to give a shout out to Electric Callboy which I recently gave a chance to after they kept popping up in my recommendations, they’re some sort of trance metalcore band, and boy do they have fun songs.

      The PetroDragronic Apocalypse is one of the best records I’ve heard in some time, from any band, in any genre.

      I can’t stop listening to it. To add, I’m not really a fan of any of their other records. They’re clearly good, just doesn’t resonate with me as much as this one does.

    I’d say I used to listen to metal, but nowadays, I still listen to metal lol. Huge fan of Progressive Metal/Djent/Thall bands. Not much into Deathcore/Doom Metal lately however.

    At work tho, I tend to listen to a lot of instrumental stuff and genres vary greatly: mathrock, jazz, electronic, game/movie OSTs, blues, fusion, and among others.

    During drives, mainly depends on the mood, but mostly revolves around the above given genres.

    To name a few artists, I usually listen to the below (in random order):

    • Jakub Zytecki
    • Chon
    • Plini
    • Periphery
    • Necrophagist (when r u guys coming back 😔)
    • Dirty Loops
    • Up Dharma Down
    • Joji
    • Tycho
    • Sleep Token
    • Lorna Shore
    • Tom Misch

    Would love to share some more, but these are what I thought of at the moment.

    almost exclusively electronic music, just can’t seem to get enough of it. (ambient, downtempo, drum & bass, dub, electro, glitch, goa trance, house, idm, psybass, psychill, psytrance, synthwave, techno). I’d be happy to try to give recommendations of any of these if you ask.

    also love funk like Parliament/Funkadelic and some electronic focused jambands like STS9 & Lotus

      What are some of your ambient recommendations? I was just listening to Tim Hecker’s Konoyo, also dig stuff like Global Communication, Boards of Canada, Grouper, Human Mesh Dance, Stars of the Lid, Biosphere.

      Really into a electronic psychedelic cumbia genre that goes by Psicodelica Selvática (and other names) : Dengue Dengue Dengue!, Chancha Via Circuito, Yeahman, Son Rompe Pera, El Remolón’s Selva really hits the spot too.

        I prefer my ambient to have a psychedelic aspect to it instead of just pure drone, so probably my favorite ambient artist is Ishq, namely his albums Orchid, Sama, And Awake, Bloom, and Lotus. Sinepearl and Chandanam are also artists that have a similar sound to Ishq. also check out Woob’s Repurpose album

        getting into more of the psybient/psychill genre than pure ambient, mostly everything on Ultimae Records is gold imo (Solar Fields, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Cell, H.U.V.A. Network, Sync24, etc.)

    Power Metal:
    Powerwolf
    Gloryhammer
    Alestorm
    Sabaton
    Windrose

    Pagan music:
    Emerald Rose
    Tyr

    And then sea shanties, folk music, Irish (rebel and otherwise), labor/protest music, and the occasional bouts of pure randomness.

    Right now I cannot get enough of Miracle of Sound. Dude just checks every box there is for me. It’s like if every other kind of music I listen to got gene-spliced into one guy.

    In no particular order other stuff:
    Blackmore’s Night
    Clamavi de Profundis
    Omnia
    Faun

          Oh damn. Quick recap:

          The band fired Thomas Winkler (lead singer) aka Angus. No reason was given but his poor live performance after the pandemic was rumored.

          Then some old chat was leaked that put to light that James (bassist aka hootsman) and Chris (song writer / former keyboardist aka Zargotrax) were racist/mysoginic trying to take advantage of their status to fuck fans.

          Then some allegation of abuse against James were made.

          At the end of it all Christ wrote a PR excuse letter. Glorryhammer got a new lead singer (Sozos Michael). Thomas went on his way to make a new band (Angus McSix).

          So we got two album this year with gloryhammer style.

            Goddamn. I thought people saying “Angus McSix” were making some kind of joke about whoever replaced Thomas.

            Sucks that his bandmates turned out to be that kind of people, but I’ll definitely look into his new project.

            Thanks for the recap!

              Just be careful there is two song order. The one of the track listing (the bad one) and the lore one (the good one).

              For whatever reason they decided not to put the song in the lore order so the story makes no sense if you listen to the album in the track listening order.

      I have the exact same list for power metal lol, only thing I’d add is twilight force.

      I also like chiptune stuff, a great artist that kinda crosses over chiptune and metal is rainbowdragoneyes, he has done remixes of gloryhammer and alestorm, and has a whole EP of remixed and OC pirate metal chiptune.

        I swear I’ve heard of twilight force but for the life of me I can’t remember what they sound like. I’ll have to look them up and get reacquainted.

          Some of their more prominent characteristics are high, soaring vocals, kinda constantly epic sounding, and pretty cheesy (which is a good thing)

          I like them a lot

          Yes! I absolutely love the Toh Kay albums. I’ve listened to his entire discography, including Smiles for Macavity and the demos. I haven’t heard a single thing that I dislike from him!
