Topic: Music you've been digging lately

EOS has some good stuff. Only really heard Crimson and Purgatory Afterglow, but by far the best song I've heard from them is "Twilight". Like that's a top ten death metal song for me.



Just stumbled on this band Wargasm, digging this song a lot. It's like early 2000s electroindustrial-tinged nu-metal mixed with Lords of Acid and digital hardcore. And the singer's cute and sounds a bit like Poppy.

Damn, okay, that's pretty awesome. I like how they have a similar guitar tone to Entombed and Dismember, and Swano's vocals are just as great as they are on The Spectral Sorrows. But this is more my speed.

Suicide Commando led me to more electronic stuff lately. And I heard this Ministry cover and thought, "look at how they massacred by boy" at first, but damn, I was hooked as soon as the chorus comes in. Still, I missed the original riff.

Haven't bought a KMFDM album since 2003's WWIII. Heard some tracks off the new one and decided to pick it up, and I think it's great.

At some point Apple Music started dripfeeding me random bits of Touhou arrangement albums and one day WORLD THEORY got me rocking out to all the sproingysproingy between the moemoe moments:

Been listening to more of this band over the weekend:



I really like their sense of melody. I've had a song of theirs on my Spotify for a while, but I just haven't thought to check out more until now.

Also digging the new Midnight and Aborted albums. Still waiting for the new Zombeast and Benighted albums to drop, too.

Towards the end of last year Redrum put me onto Shoegaze and when I thought it'd be neat if there was some VOCALOID tunes to that flavor he found this:

Oh man, I've been dipping into SO MUCH Goth and Darkwave music lately. Gotta reconnect with my School-era roots, you know?

At this point in my Hatsune Miku journey I've begun exploring The Disappearance of Hatsune Miku, which I'd heard in passing a couple times but got its hooks in recently. 

This video edit that brought its vibe across in a fairly epic way is what did it for me.

Rediscovering my love of Swans. Kicking myself for selling my smallish CD collection I had.



Also kicking myself for not picking up the 3-CD remaster of Filth, their debut album—although it might get reprinted, I'm told.

I wish they'd do a 3-CD redo of the Cop/Young God • Greed/Holy Money compilation; the old one has some remixed tracks and doesn't feature the original mixes, and I just want all that material from that period (1984–86) to be collected and complete. Till then, I might track down the original 1987 Greed/Time Is Money CD if I can find it at a decent price.
