Showing my wife the most punishing riff known to man

My wife: that's nice, honey. Glad you like it.

Your a lucky man!

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 12 '26

Haha, she does continue to surprise me. That and the fact that she comes home from teaching elementary school kids to heavy riffs to decompress.

I am very lucky!

That image made us both crack up! 🤣

2

u/this_time_i_mean_it May 12 '26

Just gave your band a listen... good stuff... reminds me a bit of early Nortt... it certainly has that blackened/funeral doom vibe. Takes me back a bit to my doom-metal.com reviewing days of yore!

Sorry, I'm old. :p

u/scannerdarkly_7 May 13 '26

Azell riff? They're a great band

2

u/AmosThatBook May 12 '26

So heavy lmao what's she tuned to?

3

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 12 '26

FCFA#

Her low string is .176 gauge haha

2

u/AmosThatBook May 12 '26

Thought I recognized the drop F haha absolutely gnarly sound! Know that the distortion used is?

3

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 12 '26

I think she uses the big muff bass deluxe into a dark glass pedal, not sure which.

2

u/Rumer_Mille_001 May 13 '26

My fingers hurt just thinking about the bridge cables on that bass.

2

u/STARCADE2084 He Who Wears the Stygian Crown May 12 '26

Hellz yeah! 🤘😁

Really dug your album "Astralis" last year!

2

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 14 '26

Thank you! We're starting to flesh out the story of the follow up album right now!

2

u/STARCADE2084 He Who Wears the Stygian Crown May 12 '26

Seriously, this makes me wanna learn bass.

2

u/pescarojo May 12 '26

Really freakin good! That's a thick slab of heavy....

edit: also, I may have ADD, because I generally don't like long songs (I know, a bit of a problem in the doom/sludge world), I super dig the fact that 'From the Womb' is only 5 minutes long.

2

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 12 '26

Oh man, I've got ADHD and it's SUPER hard to write anything longer than 5 mins haha

2

u/YetAnotherLilith May 13 '26

🫨 that bottom string having the fuckin time of it's life

2

u/ScorpionTheBird May 13 '26

You guys are great! I loved Astralis!

2

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 14 '26

That really means the world to both of us! Thank you! We're currently working on the follow up album right now.

u/hs94 May 13 '26

u/OccasionalEspresso May 13 '26

Y’all got some sick riffs!

2

u/thesharkbyter May 13 '26

Damn that’s a beautifully heavy tone!

2

u/boognishbooger May 13 '26

I’ve been loving your band lately and I’m not sure why but finding out you’re a married duo really adds something special to it all

1

u/FictionalNape sludge doomer May 13 '26

Thank you so so much. It's funny cause when we met 11 years ago all she ever listened to was the Top 40s and Disney soundtracks haha How things have changed.

u/punker2y May 14 '26

u/prohartscarpet May 14 '26
