  • Pikazilla Yeah, and agreeing on everything is boring! Based rhinocervs ratings btw, some of the best lo-fi bm around
    March 26 12:45 AM
  • Pikazilla ily too, but you're wrong - check my ratings, we have far more in common than you think. It's mainly Liturgy we disagree on lol
    March 26 12:34 AM
  • WretchedCacophony For some reason I was never crazy about Meshuggah until fairly recently. Do No Look Down and Perpetual Black Second (on the re-released version) really pulled me in hard though. And more recently Behind the Sun. Cheers

  • bludngorevidal m/ m/ that Saidan rec was just what I needed. thx!
    December 2 07:14 PM
  • bludngorevidal Thank you! Aside from that Dodsrit record, which I've listened to and really enjoyed, I haven't heard the others
    November 30 05:25 PM
  • bludngorevidal yo there! wondering if you have any newly released black metal recs outside of the obvious (noktvrn, pain gel, old nick). I just spun the new imperialist and was not impressed
    November 30 05:04 PM
  • Storm In A Teacup Hah I found it specifically to find a new Sputnik avatar and was really happy to find it
    November 5 11:09 PM
  • veninblazer u good, i kinda thank you for your in-depth responses lately. it's a lot easier to get through to me when you're not being a dick, which you were fine.
    November 5 11:08 PM
  • Archelirion Yeah I'm doing alright actually. The past three months I've been slowly making some changes to dig myself out of a 5-6 year rut so I'm actually sorta optimistic going forward now which is cool. How have you been keeping?
    October 9 08:50 AM
  • Dewinged haven't heard it yet, but I can write a shorty for sure! it's only a couple of tracks right?
    September 22 04:59 AM
  • Dewinged Good, good. Because my plan B was ripping off your sound offs lol
    September 22 12:03 AM
  • oltnabrick Oh ok yeah thanks sm u rule too
    September 21 09:43 PM
  • Dewinged Tell me you're planning to review that Lamp of Murmuur album Brandon, for the glory of the second wave.
    September 21 02:14 AM
  • Archelirion That Sallow Moth/Vmthanaachth split is something else. I dunno if it's cos I've barely jammed DM lately but the Sallow Moth half seemed so well put-together and creative and dang heavy, and then Vmthanaachth I'm still processing what just happened. It's like the Moonlight Butterfly level on the first Dark Souls met Viraemia or something at times. Anyway, hope you're keeping well my dude.
    September 9 10:46 PM
  • Mewcopa0 Yoo, I haven't posted on sputnik in like....9 years I think. I'm trying to wipe my reviews, and ratings, but can't access the help forum to request such a thing. You're one of the few people I recognize on here (although I've been frequenting O_H_ this whole time), any help would be appreciated, cheers. (side note, that new Old Nick is killer)

  • Sowing For some reason your forum permissions were hung up. All clear now, sorry!
    December 8 10:41 PM
  • Sowing Ok thanks for confirming... I'll look into it
    December 8 07:11 PM
  • Sowing Just a few preliminary troubleshooting steps: try logging out of the forums and back in. Clear your cache and try again. Also, did you recently change your password? If so let me know because occasionally permissions get hung and Jom has to push things through.

    June 27 06:39 AM
  • brainmelter oh **** yeah, its all you my dude. I know Evok is going to be all over that new Falls of Rauros though, he's probably more excited for that than you and I combined tbh
