hey you have to listen the new effluence ep, It's fvking insane

Hey, I hope you're doing well.

I'm making a list and I'd love to know which album has had the greatest influence on your current taste in music? If you want, I'd also appreciate it if you could say exactly how it's made you grow/learn more as a listener (don't worry, you don't have to do this part).

Thank you for reading and answering, if you do.

I can see that! There are some moments that I felt that Pyrrhon did better on some of their albums, but regardless of Pyrrhon, I still think it still stands on its own as a definitive statement for Schwegler. On it's own I think it's one of the year's most thoroughly realized releases, and is chocked with so many small details waiting to be discovered. I still maintain that Phantom Indigo has a shoegaze tinge to the production, the main riff to "Tautology" in particular feels like it could slot right into Hum's Inlet or Nothing's The Great Dismal, and I think this album could be the start of death metal bands experimenting with shoegaze (deathgaze if you will). The crazy part is that I don't think Schwegler was really influenced by shoegaze judging from interviews, it's just that the sound fits so well with the overarching concept.

I see you've gotten around to Phantom Indigo, what are your thoughts?

Thanks so much for the rec! I'll check it out. Appreciate it.

oh yeah, forgot to mention, it's a metal / hardcore punk server :P

Hey do you happen to have a discord account? I'd like to invite you to a far-left leaning discord server with no tolerance for nazi / abuser music, if you're interested.

You can't go wrong with the new french Oi! bands. Check my "Oi" tag, all that stuff is amazing

Good to see more people are interested in/rating Oi! on AOTY!
