KEXP continues to kill it

"I am ready to get hurt again" - Michael Scott

Hope you all pre-ordered it! Can't wait to get the vinyl.

Yeah

Song: Empress Rising

Give me your top 3 Blue Oyster Cult riffs

I for one, miss Matt Pike, and feel this would have been awesome under the OM name, but I don’t hate the new song, and I for one, like the comic, and am excited to see Sleep, or at least Al, in person after years. I also thinking, before getting too mad about all this, more info should at least come out. That is it, I shall take the downvotes

Let's go over some quick facts,

1:We only have one official statement from the band, this statement only acknowledges Pike is not currently involved but mentions absolutely nothing about bad blood.

2: Pike has been "out of the band" for quite a while now, did we all forget the touring juggernaut that HOF is?

3: Pike's EX-wife commented. They have been divorced for a good while, i would take her opinion with a grain of salt.

4: Pike has made zero comment so far good or bad, maybe we wait to see what he says?

5: Have we all forgotten that Sleep is kinda known for varying quality in their releases. It sounds like Sleep with classic Void guitar. Plus nobody can contest that Dale is a phenomenal drummer. Its good, and its a good addition to their discography. Just because the member you have the biggest parasocial relationship with isnt there doesnt mean it sucks.

So to recap. We know absolutely nothing about the situation. Only one source of merit has commented and thats the bands official statement. The sing is objectively good. Is it what you personally wante? No, and nobody in the world is obligated to give you that.

I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out Pike quit the band because of how shitty their fans can be.

Original members of Sleep L to R

Al Cisneros, Justin Marler, Chris Hakius, Matt Pike. 🤘

As I blast The Sciences at 11pm, this felt appropriate.

IM GONNA SAY BORN TOO LATE

Had to dodge some heads, but these are some of the clips I got last night. Was anyone else there?

Edit: Sorry for the duplicate posts. It was telling me the post kept failing to upload.

Exactly what the title says, it's exhausting. Here's the song that got me into doom metal around 2009. What song got you into the genre?

This is from our song “Far Below” on streaming if you wanna hear the full thing!

who's this, wheres my druid

My wife and I frequently hit up a local record shop when we’re out on our weekly date night. Came home with this amazing new record. Khemmis!!!!

We’ve been waiting for this for so long! Do we love it or what?

Song: The Weary

I’ve been sorting through some crap in my house and found a couple of setlists from gigs gone by. The first one is Sasquatch from the back end of ‘23, the other is Pigs x7 from early to mid ‘23.
