Gemini Syndrome - Abandoned

I sing this song when I'm pissed off. The screams at the end feels cathartic

"This is for the losers, this is for the freaks / This is for the broken, forgotten and diseased / This is for the outcasts, this is for the widow's son / This is for all of us (ABANDONED)"

For some reason I find myself liking the British and European take on techno and house over the US styles from Detroit and Chicago. Not that I don't like the OG styles, I probably just haven't heard enough of it compared to all the foreign artists I've listened to.

I'm more familiar with House and Techno music from the US. Larry Heard, Juan Atkins, Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson, to name a few.

Stuff like this.

I just recently bought a Fiio JM21 hi res digital audio player. I'm just waiting for it to arrive. I think I'll get further educated with artists like those and others from the US when I'm looking for music to add onto it. The only problem is that a lot of them don't have album releases and stick to mainly singles and EPs. You can find them on mixes and compilations tho. You can sometimes find flac or mp3 (preferably flac) vinyl rips of some of those singles using Soulseek. That's sometimes the only way to find them for those rare never reissued ones. There's also sites like Beatsource if you wanna be legal about it lol. That's one of the things about edm music like techno; there's so many that just have 3 or 4 tracks in the early 90s or late 80s and never release anything else. Compared to rock or pop musicians who just release album after album for 60 years until they die. The only ones with multiple albums are the big name ones like Ferry Corsten or Armand Van Helden. That's just what I've picked up from observation I guess

to be honest im not much of a christian, but follow god by kanye west honestly has one of my favorite verses from him. im gonna go a bit off topic for a second and say that lots of christian music tends to be somewhat repetitive, but this song and jesus walks are both great examples of songs that break that tendency.

Here, have some catchy Japanese songs written for a demographic WAY younger than anyone who should be on this site.

Uta no Mama Papa - 恐竜のうた１～じゅらじゅらジャングル～ (Kyouryuu No Uta 1 ~Jurajura Janguru~/Dinosaur Song 1 ~Jingling Jungle~) - Despite seemingly understanding I'm over 30, Spotify thought I'd like this one day. It was right. Gao Gao Gaooooo! 🦖

Pokémon Kids TV Japan - ドドドドサンド (Dodododo Sando/Thump Thump Sandshrew)

Happy Heads NANIYORI - Sorrow Like Lightning / Ai-shiden-issen

Wasn't expecting nu/alt metal based on the cover! but it sounds really neat, I could hear small glimmers of the bands that influenced them from time to time but it was original sounding enough not to sound too derivative. Production was sort of what one would expect of modern alt metal (octanecore adjacent) but the synths added a nice touch :3

Rare Americans - Brittle Bones Nicky

Music wasn't really my thing but I honestly really enjoyed the story and animations and ended up watching/ listening to the whole thing and came to kinda vibe with the music by the end. I'll probably watch whenever part 4 releases !

Yeah, same here. I don't really enjoy their music like I used to a few years ago, but I still love the character and story they've got going on.

Genuinely life changing stuff right there, I can't believe I never discovered this sooner...

Wage War - Circle The Drain

I just can't really get into the whole octanecore sound, It just does nothing for me.. Some of Wage War's earlier output is decent but they seem to have chased the trend of making the most palatable alt metal they can.. It's a specific sound, usually alternative metal with minor elements of metalcore and djent, but the vocals aren't allowed to be TOO harsh, the djenty bits can't be TOO angular or dissonant, and the metalcore bits can't be TOO slow or chuggy. The production just feels too silky smooth and formulaic, drenched in reverb (especially the group vocals), loud but the peaks can't be too sharp or jarring. Sorry for going on a bit of a rant abt it. All that being said I don't hate the sound, It just does nothing for me, sorta in one ear and out the other.

Wage War's most recent album was more mainstream than this
