06.01.23 | there's gonna have to be a token metal month so um ig let's put all the good metals together
READ THIS AND THEN REC ME SOMETHING:
・Stoner metal is okay
・Doom metal is okay in most of its forms. Maybe not epic doom. Death/doom is okay. Funeral is okay. Old school is okay, but not too many plz.
・Drone metal is okay
・Sludge metal is okay but um be careful I will be picky on this one
・Post metal is probably okay if it is also sludge and probably not okay if it's not
・Other metals are mostly NOT okay. Any thrash/death/core/groove/prog recs especially NO THANK YOU
・One rec per person / do not rec me shit i've heard / you can do it / okay |

06.01.23 | Have you heard about the band called Ulcerate? |
evilford
06.01.23 | Ulcerate [2] |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.01.23 | uh yeah read the first comment yes the first one
boris t-shirts are yes okay

06.01.23 | Sir. Do you have a minute to talk about our lords and saviors Ulcerate? |
SlothcoreSam
06.01.23 | Buffalo - Volcanic Rock |
Havey
06.01.23 | that first comment is depressing |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.01.23 | i am asking for metal that fucks and does not exhibit overt compatibility with scifi nights in the crank pen is this so tall an order for u |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | Boris t-shirts? Bruh Ariana Grande shirts are the only band/music artist shirts that aren’t tacky |
Ryus
06.01.23 | what about bm johnny |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.01.23 | ngl if i saw someone drinking a beverage public wearing an Ari shirt i would not inherit their thirst
bm is neither on the cards nor off them, but it is risky territory. stoner/sludge comfort jams are the vibe the vibe |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | Catch me drinkin a bevy in public wearing an ari shirt on any of the one times a month I go out
I own like 10 |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | You have no idea how many compliments I get |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | I can think of a few other acceptable artists to merch whore but if you wear merch earnestly you probably live at your parents house that’s just how it works |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | If you had a j-pop merch collection I would stan |
ArsMoriendi
06.01.23 | Foetus - Flow has some industrial metal moments
Does it count if it’s like ⅓ of the album? |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | Also it’s ok to wear shitty old band shirts like Metallica and shit like that but ONLY if you cannot name a Metallica song to save your life |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.01.23 | i have a split end t-shirt that explains (in english) what 'split end' means in japanese and it is one of the most unhelpful/incongruous things available to wear in public i love it
"ONLY if you cannot name a Metallica song to save your life"
lmao. gimme another couple of years and i'll be able to wear my opeth shirts again
50% of all my merch shirts have ended up as bedwear and i think this is maybe a good thing |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | “ have a split end t-shirt that explains (in english) what 'split end' means in japanese and it is one of the most unhelpful/incongruous things available to wear in public i love it”
This is good. I like this. |
Hyperion1001
06.01.23 | I saw a chick in university with a Black Sabbath shirt troll a smelly metal guy when he asked he if she liked the band by telling him she thought they were from tiktok and that she’s never actually heard them it was one of the more based things I’ve seen irl. |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | “ 50% of all my merch shirts have ended up as bedwear and i think this is maybe a good thing”
It’s a process. Can’t tell you how many band shirts I’ve owned. It’s like realizing that IPA’s are trash but then ritually drinking one called mud shits for the luls |
PotsyTater
06.01.23 | “ saw a chick in university with a Black Sabbath shirt troll a smelly metal guy when he asked he if she liked the band by telling him she thought they were from tiktok and that she’s never actually heard them it was one of the more based things I’ve seen irl.”

ArsMoriendi
06.01.23 | I might have to take my rec back, relistening to Flow and only like 3/11 tracks are metal , thought it was 4, but The Need Machine being called metal is way too much of a stretch |
Kompys2000
06.01.23 | You are saved from my nu metal wheel of punishment by the grace of you somehow not having Torche Meanderthal rated listen to that |
Stakaline
06.01.23 | Acid Bath - Paegan Terrorism Tactics (for a nice sludge/doom/stoner/grunge mix) |
Cormano

artificial brain - artificial brain
yeah i know you said no dm but i dont even like that much dm but this album bangs and isnt stinky l |
Icebloom
06.01.23 | Earth - The Bees Made Honey etc.
Drone metal that's maybe too much on the post rock side of things, dunno how strict you want to be
Edit: yeah hmm I relistened and it drones & post rocks far more than it metals. Revoke I guess, unless you don't mind |

MiloRuggles
06.02.23 | Oh shit, you bout to get piled on with a bunch of shit you won't like. I wanted to rec you early Gorguts (very different from Colored Sands, dw) but turns out your allergic to fun!
Porc recommended the right artist but the wrong album - listen to Pernicious Enigma xx |
MiloRuggles
06.02.23 | Probably a dick move to steal porc's rec though, so ignore my last comment (apologies) and listen to worship -last tape before doomsday |
Egarran
06.02.23 | >you bout to get piled on with a bunch of shit you won't like
Such it is with metal recs. Wellboy knew this going in. We can only assume he has clandestine and/or academic motives. |

Drifter
06.04.23 | john if you dont put mine in im pulling out of the WellCorp fund |
PotsyTater
06.04.23 | Prehistoriscisms is actually a good rec if you somehow haven’t heard that |
porcupinetheater
06.04.23 | “ Porc recommended the right artist but the wrong album - listen to Pernicious Enigma”
Milo this is correct you are correct The Pernicious Enigma is best Esoteric
But also
This is an album a day rec contest lol
45 min. > 2 hr for our purposes here. Metamorph is prob my fourth fave Esoteric overall tbh, after Pernicious, Maniacal Vale, Pyrrhic Existence. But I like Johnny and we must approach him with tender mercy |
MiloRuggles
06.04.23 | porc you are outrageously correct ily. (maniacal vale is outrageous)
i needs Corporal Wellington to add Last Tape Before Doomsday tho, we are injecting good funeral |
Sniff
06.04.23 | Okay since you refuse to jam Ulcerates discog in full
Moloken - Rural |
AsleepInTheBack
06.04.23 | curious to see if you'll nut for knut |
BitterJalapenoJr
06.04.23 | "Prehistoriscisms is actually a good rec if you somehow haven’t heard that"
Johnny appears to have awarded one Intronaut album with 3.5 and since Prehistoricisms is IMO clearly superior to that album, should be a good shout. Delicious bass. |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.04.23 | okay fuck that's a full house yikes yikes sorry everyone who got missed
"tender mercy"
uwu
"knut"
i remember vibing with Challenger so um we will see |
anode
06.04.23 | you never listened to prowler in the yard johnny? starbelly is the only song off the album that fits your criteria but its the best metal album ever so it fits the theme |

06.04.23 | Solid list overall |
Drifter
06.05.23 | i think you forgot mine |
Deez
06.05.23 | All esoteric is the best esoteric |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Wtf have you not heard any Om? I probably would have rec’d God Is Good if I had figured that. Advaitic Songs will do tho. |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | “ and since Prehistoricisms is IMO clearly superior to that album, should be a good shout. Delicious bass.”
Tis their best by a landslide |
Ryus
06.05.23 | 6 is really the goat of death/doom and i havent found basically anything worthwhile besides that one |
Kompys2000
06.05.23 | Damn should I check prehistoricisms, I bought the habitual levitations CD when I saw them live forever ago and thought it was mid as fuck |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | @komp nothing after valley of smoke is worth listening to imo but prehistoricisms is a an album I would stand by to this day
On that note I should probably swap to something I’d actually still jam. Will be more basic but at least I believe in it.
Switch me to grails - burning off impurities if you haven’t heard it |
PotsyTater
06.05.23 | Actually do Lantlos - Agape |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.06.23 | i thought Lantlos was a meme budgiecore band lol will do
today is Khanate rejam (that first spin was ROUGH) / diSEMBOWELMENT day metal month is on LFG |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | That album is literally the only good opinion budgie has |
DadKungFu
06.06.23 | Had misgivings about reccing Khanate but I thought their commitment to the most relentlessly dismal vibes possible might earn some points maybe not though |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.06.23 | it ruined a solid hour of my day yesterday lol, but things are looking upwards |
PotsyTater
06.06.23 | U actually have quite a few solid recs in here I’m surprised |
Havey
06.07.23 | he will never updat |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.07.23 | oh fuck shit yes um lfg |
PotsyTater
06.07.23 | Good take on agape and yeah trust me if it was alcest-core I’d hate it with a passion |
Ryus
06.07.23 | the run here 21-22-23 is basically as good as you coild ask for. p solid list |
evilford
06.08.23 | Aw shit sweet to see u dig disembowelment |
Azazzel
06.08.23 | already too many recs so instead I will suggest switching out Cobalt 's 'Slow Forever' the later album post line-up change when 'Gin' put them on the map and is favored by most everyone+classic sput+chart core. it's the one I jam in my car the most by far. my 2c |
ffs

SlothcoreSam
06.13.23 | Glad to add a surprising element to your metal and mental health. |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | The only thing worse than the fact that someone rec’d you buffalo for this list is that you actually enjoyed it |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.13.23 | Buffalo has good tones and a just about workable ratio of butt rock to sex noodle what's a boi to do
But yes, Esoteric and Disembowelment currently smashing it hmmhm |
PotsyTater
06.13.23 | I wouldn’t know I haven’t heard them I just assume that they are the worst band of all time and I know I’m right |
MiloRuggles
06.14.23 | HELLO i am reading i am happy i am having second thoughts. i am now giving you three options:
a) stick with my initial rec if you are somehow in the mood for No Way Out Funeral Doom of the pure and simple variety after 26 days of this
b) listen to Bossk - Audio Noir instead if you want to carry on this soft spot you apparently have for colourful hevvy stoner shit
c) do your goddamn homework you Turner stan and listen to SUMAC - What One Becomes |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.16.23 | copy THAT milo, will make a call nearer the time (jetting off to greece that day, so might depend on which option seems the most airplane-viable)
little bit behind on this atm owing to influx of new releases and cramming for a sexy 2023 halfway list, but let's get some updates hmm |
hesperus
06.16.23 | fuck yeah, i'll take that 4.2. i will say, Absorbed in You got better in my estimation on repeat listens, so i'm curious if the same will happen whenever you revisit it |
pizzamachine
06.16.23 | Didn’t think 14 would be your jam ahh well least u didn’t hate it |
Mort.
06.16.23 | im ready to see johnny grind it |

JohnnyoftheWell
06.21.23 | okay almost caught up with everything aside from Cormano's album which i still have not established the existence of time for blurbs heads are gonna roll |
Pikazilla
06.21.23 | other than pig destroyer and bands I haven't heard of, this is actually a solid list |
Ryus
06.23.23 | ahem |
JohnnyoftheWell
06.23.23 | it is time for an UPDATE perfect timing |
Mort.
06.23.23 | yeaaaah lets see the piggy d thoughts |

06.25.23 | update is coming in like 25 mins ! need to finish drafting another thing and then update these up until Om ! |

JohnnyoftheWell
07.04.23 | okay time for BLURBS will be clearing this up in the next two days!!! |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.04.23 | Mort out in front with a whopping 4.3 for the Pig Destroyer rec.
I think you'll like the Intronaut album but can't see it beating that. |
Havey
07.04.23 | surprisingly positive blurb, where's the insult...
"Harvey Milk Courtesy and Good Will Toward Men 3.5
07.04.23
Deep Purple Machine Head 3.5
07.04.23"
oh... |
Havey
07.05.23 | don't act like you didn't know you were signing up for a depression marathon when you unokayed all the fun metal genres |
Mort.
07.05.23 | johnny did you know that mare album is the circle takes the square drummer and one of the guys from the canadian band The end? |
Ryus
07.05.23 | "maybe my least favourite song from Songs of Leonard Cohen"
wtf |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.05.23 | Machine Head is a quavering 3.4 and is liable to drop in the unlikely event that I ever jam it in full again. Smoke on the Water and the meme closer are big sus, but the opening run kinda bops
"all the fun metal genres"
RIP melodeath RIP power metal
"johnny did you know that mare album is the circle takes the square drummer and one of the guys from the canadian band The end?"
NO, but this is v cool - have been enjoying Mare, just need to pin down final thoughts on it - and we are so so so close to the end (update for Om)!!!
Sisters of Mercy is the only other contender including the bonus tracks; everything else is essential, but those two could drop and I'd never notice |
Ryus
07.05.23 | where is your songs of love and hate rating sir |

JohnnyoftheWell
07.05.23 | ONE TO GO, really strong finishing combo up here |
BitterJalapenoJr
07.05.23 | Nice summary on Prehistoricisms and glad you enjoyed. What would your rating have been had they shortened the closing track? |
Demon of the Fall
07.05.23 | Earth album sucks. Intronaut / Mare = good finish
overall decent job |
DadKungFu
07.05.23 | In hindsight would have made Dystopia my pick |
Deez
07.05.23 | Excellent mate glad you digged, yeah I rec'd Mare out of knowing you're a Kayo Dot fan and there's definitely something in the EP for fans of Early KD. |
JohnnyoftheWell
07.07.23 | and that's the month WRAPPED - thanks everyone for a pretty strong set of recs all round, had a really cool varied stint with this
"What would your rating have been had they shortened the closing track?"
solid 4 - wasn't too harsh there |

07.07.23 | mort wins highest rating, best boi he is |
