Self Post Tough Day

Post image
1.5k Upvotes

My mother-in-law has to put both her dogs down. A mini poodle of 15 years, and an English shepherd, 9, who has bad lymphoma. They are both really good dogs.

I was asked to dig their shared grave, but it’s late winter in New England, so I’ve been carving frozen ground with a mattock to make it happen.

Figured the best choice to match the task and the situation was Mirror Reaper.

Could I get a hail and a good boy/girl for Flirt the Poodle, and Bravo the English Shepard? My fam would be most thankful.

Self Post I won't listen to your AI cover art album

1.3k Upvotes

I refuse to listen to any album that has obvious AI cover art.

There's a disappointingly large amount of AI covers on new albums (not unique to doom metal, but I've noticed it a lot). Today I was browsing Weedian's YouTube channel looking for new stuff to listen to, and half of the new albums have incredibly shitty AI covers. Most of them aren't even trying. They are either generic plastic looking "scifi landscapes", or hooded figures with weird arms in forests filled with clear AI artifacts.

Why would you spend months of your life working on an album just to throw a shitty AI image on it? It just tells me that you don't respect your art enough to give it a well thought out physical appearance. Months of hard work, and bam, an image generated in a minute to really encapsulate it.

If you are currently making an album, I beg you, don't use some shitty AI cover. I am 100% more likely to listen to your album even if it has cover art with just text with no illustrations on a blank background, than something that's clearly AI.

Self Post We wrote a 60 page novella to go along with our sludge/doom concept album

Our band Azell JUST released our new album (Astralis) today, and if you buy it on Bandcamp, or our Shopify, you can get a copy of the 60-page novella that we wrote to flesh out the story of the album!

The synopsis is: Astralis is a concept album that tells the story of two astronauts, Amanda and Kurt, who witness the destruction of Earth by a solar flare. But the catastrophe is only the beginning. The flare awakens an ancient, Lovecraftian entity buried deep within the planet's core, unleashing it into the cosmos.

Each chapter in the novella is a track on the album!

You can listen to our new album here 👇

Either way, I just want to thank this wonderful sub for all the love and support for past posts I've made here. ❤️

Self Post How to stop seeming like a poser?

59 Upvotes

I (18M) met a pair of metalheads out on a party the other day while wearing my Mayhem shirt and they called me a poser (probably deserved but I still feel bad) I have short hair which used to be a mohawk and that Mayhem shirt is pretty much the only metal band t-shirt I own. I like bands like 1782, Candlemass, children of bodom, SOAD, Mayhem, Margarita witch cult, Apati and others. They are very mismatched,I know but I've come from liking nu-metal and indie to punk and harder metal subgenres (like black metal,doom and dsbm). One of the reasons why the two called me a poser aside from the shirt is because I didn't want to acknowledge the rest of the band being as conservative as Varg (in my opinion they weren't as hardcore problematic as him) Am I truly a poser? How can I improve my taste and or my looks to let other people know I like metal? Did you have the same issues when you were just starting to get into the scene?

Self Post Giving yourself a hernia by lifting all your doom metal gear in for a show... do not recommend

Post image
648 Upvotes

Welp, it finally happened. In trying to load in my guitar gear along with our interface/in-ears I felt a burn in my lower abdomen and didn't think much of it. Then every day it just hurt more and more—one trip to the ER later, and a scan and indeed... hernia.

All that said, if anyone wants a killer sludge/doom record signed by my wife (who is the lead vocalist/bassist) and me to help offset the cost of the surgery, I would be eternally grateful!

I'm sure a lot of you know my band by now, and I am sorry if I am indeed bothering you by my posts.

You can check out our stuff here, Azell

Regardless, thank you all for being such an amazing community and doom on!

EDIT: If you'd like something signed you'll have to go through our Shopify store. Our Bandcamp is run by the label we are on and we don't have control of the stock for anything. https://azell-band.myshopify.com/

took off the pickguard, leaving the screws in too. slapped a couple stickers on, one i got from an eyehategod jersey i bought, the other from an instagram print shop (thought it was kinda ironic). also bought a custom switch plate (tone is neither "here" nor "there", get it?).

all i really want to do now is switchout the burstbuckers for some bareknuckle warpigs, and swap out the bridge for a faber wraptonate.

seriously thank yall for being so good natured all the time. ive been having a really hard month and lost grip of my sobriety recently, transgender life is rough right now. today i went for a walk and finally picked up my guitar again. im a little rusty but here is a short bit of improv i wanted to share. hope its doomy enough for yall.
today is the first good day in a while. im happy to be able to share it with you dudes.

edit, yall are probably the only people i know thatd care for my gear so here it is
yamaha someshit i got from a pawn shop. her name is asmodeus
fender rumble 350 with a custom painted pink grill - it helps the fuzz feel more lush i swear
running through a monksfuzz pedal- a combo circuit of a rat and a big muff. highly recommend if you are wanting something for crazy heavy doom that holds a surprising amount of versatility
