D³ Metal is supposed to be fun. I love it. Favorite track: the unknown. featuring spookycore.

Croft I mean... how can you not love Cutting Crew, "Goodbye Horses" and Silence of the Lambs samples? Plus the transitions part are so smooth. Favorite track: buffalo del. featuring Elmer.

Different light I am changed Azure night Hands estranged I’ve taken all against your thrall Evolving monster - man depraved Your gods, your gods they laugh in descent Conscience that came and went in coffin’s gale Against your thrall Comedic divine engaged but dreaded Your hubris tragic in squall Leviathan’s door – knock, knock, unlock Unlock One by one - the sheep, the ants march one by one One by one - the fox, the hare, by one, they march The fleas, the bugs, they march They march One by one - the fucking creatures, they march Expression is in the eye of the beholder But the insects… Art is in the ear, the ear of Van Gough But the insipid they will march Clay is in the hands of the Ghost But the flies, but the flies lost in swarm Vibrato is in the voice of the operatic cockroaches Different light I am changed Azure night Hands estranged

Goodbye Is this it? (is this it?) Is this it? (is this it?) Is this, is this all that there is? Is this, is this the end? Is this what’s expected? The ties that bind At no time bisected Esoteric perfected At no time Esoteric Slipping, same color inside Static fading Masquerading, I’m slipping Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Is this the end? Is this the end? My goodbye’s forced in Goodbye my kin Goodbye with a grin Is this the end? Is this the end? Goodbye Goodbye with a grin Goodbye my kin Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Fuck Goodbye See you next time See you for the last time The last time Is this it?

I want to feel your fucking rage Alight lies’ book page to grave Our blood inked river, death’s bride Should we read into omissions lies? Pig Gore pigs Gore pigs The sculptor, the butcher, Vehemence’s pusher Two black eyes I sure am a looker Pig, pig, pig, gore pig, pig, pig Pig, pig, pig, gore pig, pig, pig Get fucked This is our last dance Break neck speed Gore pigs open and feed This is our last chance Pig, pig, pig, gore pig Break neck speed Pig, pig, pig, gore pig Get fucked

We're a waste Join us Join us, the disgraced Just like me, misunderstood Our cult roots in insult Just like me Planting dark seeds, you are my roots Like me, whatever you need Masks are our creed Join me, just like me Terror not tear us apart A welcomed rejection Embraced and entwined Accusation’s affection Wined and dined A welcomed rejection Embraced and entwined Accusation’s affection Wined and dined Like me, not again Like me, please never end Like me, falling forward All of you join me Like me, righteous coward Worthless cast for the uninspired Whatever you need, masks are our creed Tie the note A welcomed rejection Embraced and entwined Accusation’s affection Wined and dined These words between nix and nil Outer darkness These words, stones to your sticks Clock’s broken ticks These words between nix and nil Outer darkness These words, stones to your sticks Clock’s broken ticks Masks are our creed Masks are you and me Masks are our creed Masks are our creed Masks are you and me Masks are our creed Masks are You

Here I sit and stare Prayer’s chair, prayer’s chair Knuckles off-white, red hands converge It begins, again, again, Golgotha’s bookend Go! Question marks my arms alone (arms alone) It’s the unknown, it’s the unknown Fixed upon my throne I’ll stand until I shake Black heartbreak, blood clots lakes Travel by starlight and time, darkness is on the take Time Not running, not living Time Not running, time’s hands stood still You’ll hold me Now long last forgive me For this is the last, the last piece of me You were always there for me But I feel myself slipping Red in tooth and claw Screaming, screaming, screaming through my broken jaw I’m clearing my glass eyes (my glass eyes) Reject, deny (reject, deny) Never saying goodbye (goodbye) Throne entombed in ice Beyond the stars I’m not alone (not alone) No more unknown, no more unknown Death’s frozen throne Beyond the stars I’m not alone (not alone) No more unknown, fuck the unknown Death’s frozen throne

about

The (John) Candy California

The (John) Candy has been described as many things...a nostalgia machine, an embarrassment, sample-core, nostalgia-core, and tribute-core.

All music is sampled from other hardcore/metal/djent/metalcore/etc. acts, woven into a nostalgic tapestry of movie quotes, and most recently, pop music of the era. The band has self-produced and released four additional EPs, one single, and two full lengths. ... more

Illuminate
by Anup Sastry

supported by 5 fans who also own “abysmal waste of cosmic dust.”

I've been enjoying Anup's play-through videos online almost daily for about a month now, and I am happy to support him with this purchase. Extreme power balanced (but never limited) by control and attention to detail. I'm not sure which I enjoy more: the relentless assault he unleashes or the composure and focus he maintains as he does so. Watching him lock into his work is a sublime experience, and his kit sounds phenomenal. Do not deny yourself! tigersofwrath

Immersion
by FRACTALIZE

supported by 4 fans who also own “abysmal waste of cosmic dust.”

Intense and interesting. Clearly worshipping at the altar of Meshuggah, and while vocals are absent that void is filled by a more intense bottom end, and guitar picking that becomes its own rhythmic instrument. This is brilliant, but I’d love to see what this guy would do with some artistic collaboration. One man bands can get stuck in one dimension and the potential shown here could be a global phenomenon with just a little tweaking. Let me finish by saying again, this is brilliant. Lute FP
