• Craft – Fuck the Universe
• Jupiterian – Protosapien
• Akercocke – Antichrist
• Akercocke – Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone
• Skaldic Curse – Devourer
• Skaldic Curse – World Suicide Machine

Those are the most well-executed and broadly hateful, nihilistic metal records I have come across so far. There are some other decent ones I thought about including but decent doesn’t cut it. I want music that would be a suitable soundtrack for the annihilation of all life, all matter, all dimensions, the universe, space and time, everything. I want it to feel that big and bleak and hopeless and awful and terrifying. If I’m like, “this is fairly grim,” that’s just not enough.

“self-replicating armageddon assembler”

I’m torn. I want to do yoga right now, but I’m really enjoying listening to Skaldic Curse’s Devourer album. It’s absolutely brimming with themes and qualities I love and relate to — misanthropy, nihilism, chaos, unsettling weirdness…I think I know my yoga routine well enough that I could do it while continuing to listen to Skaldic Curse instead of the yoga audio guide I usually use, or close enough anyway. Hmmm. I like doing it along with the guide to keep my breathing and shit all in check, but fuck it. Sometimes you just have to get zen while hating on the human race. A time and place for all things.

Ah fuck, the album is almost over. Dang it. Well, at least this situation puzzled itself out.

First post of 2021 though, off with a banger! Wow. Jk, this post stinks. I don’t care.
