Album of the day: Batboner // Batboner. Classic goth/deathrock sound but new. This album and band are so fucking good. Every song is a deathrock bop.

Album of the day: Billy Nayer // The Ketchup and Mustard man. Carrying the same absurdist chaos vibe as Possibly in Michigan, this soundtrack for a short musical is Dead Milkmen style dry comedy music with no deeper meaning. It is free to watch on YT.
Album of the day: Nuovo Testamento // Love Lines. This album is what would happen if 80s synthpop time traveled (Not Synthwave). Every song is catchy AF. It's one of those albums that you miss when it ends.
Album of the day: Horror Vacui // Living for Nothing. This is one of the bands the I feel rebooted death rock. This album is fast, and dark, and very death rock. It's like being back in the days of Christian Death and Mephisto Waltz.
AOTD: Prick // Prick. This Reznor produced project sounds like his wierd cousin wanted to start making fundustrial and TR was like "Fuck yeah dude". It's a fun, poignant, incredible and often overlooked/forgotten industrial rock album from the when that sort of thing became inexplicably popular.
Album of the day: VVV [Trippin you] // Turbovalencia. Spanish hyper-goth. This album is incredibly high energy all the way through, like a 90s break core album that a goth band accidentally used as a backing track.
If they appear in your town, do this: (I could not corroborate the story as real, but that doesn't make it any less a great idea)
AOTD: Cranes // Loved. A beautiful and powerful album. Airy female vocals over driving distorted guitars and heavy drums. That reverb heavy shoe gaze production on a goth rock album. One of the best albums from the 90s. Angry, sad, and ecstatic at the same time competing for a place in your brain.
Album of the day: Rage Against the Machine // RATM. Because it's themes have not aged a day, and in fact they've only become more relevant over time. Fuck you I won't do what you tell me. ๐ Fuck Ice. Fuck Trump. Fuck Fascists. Fuck Nazis.
AOTD: Project Pitchfork // Daimonion. Choosing one album from this band's decades long run of one incredible album after another is tough. This one shows all the aspects of their wide array of styles and incredible talent at melodic, textured, deep soundscapes under intelligent literary lyrics.
Album of the day: Turnstile // Never Enough. This album kinda sounds like if Pop Punk grew up. Each song sounds different and has its own identity but retains the sound of the band overall. Including ambient song outros, noiserock choruses, catchy melodies, driving guitars, and soothing synths.
Album of the day: Error // Error. This is only an EP but needs to me more widely known. Featuring Greg Puciato (Dillinger Escape Plan) on vocals, Atticus Ross (NIN) on electronics / programming, and Brett Gurewitz (Bad Religion) on guitar. It is relentlessly noisey and intense electropunk/hardcore.
AOTD: Mr Bungle // Mr Bungle. A fusion of metal, ska , electronic, circus music whose lyrics takes highly comedic or ridiculous situations/subjects and dramatizes them to the extreme while holding no style for longer than 30 seconds before transitioning to some new insanity.
Album of the day: Backxwash // His Happiness Shall Come First Even Though we are Suffering. This album is like what a magic spell would sound like as a song. Audio witchcraft. Just dark as fuck.
Album of the day: Korine // New Arrangements. A perfect example of gothy synthpop. Really nice synth arrangements, beautiful vocals that are just a little purposely off kilter and non-traditional. Heartfelt romantic lyrics. Korine have a really solid discography that follows this stellar debut.
AOTD: Zeal & Ardor // Zeal & Ardor. Relentlessly heavy, mixed with industrial percussion and synthwork plus old timey blues. Like someone spilled some Sepultura on Robert Johnson. Then tried to clean it up with Nine Inch Nails. Lyrically speaks to the history of bigotry and religion current events.
Album of the day: The Faint // Danse Macabre. This albilum is pure electropunk to me. The lyrics are all socially biting commentary, the music mixes bumping beats and sweeping synths flawlessly with fast guitars and bass typically present in punk topped with an "emo" or indy vocal style.
Album of the day: Devin Townsend Project // Addicted. IMO this is where the pop metal sound we currently have a lot of came from. This album is metal as fuck, but it's also poppy as fuck. Devin can scream as perfectly as he can sing with beautiful female vocals interspersed throughout.
Album of the day: TR//ST // Joyland. Electrogoth at its finest. Many would likely argue their first album is better but this one sits much more in the right zone for me. Melodic, ambient, driving, & atmospheric all at once.
Album of the day: 16 Volt // LetDownCrush. One of my favorite albums by guitar driven industrial bands from the 90s.
Album of the day: Katatonia // The Great Cold Distance. A perfect album. The pinnacle of melodic doom metal and one of the most beautiful albums ever recorded.
Album of the day: Street Sex // Full Color Eclipse. Taking the chaotic industrial energy of Street Sects and melding it with melodic Synthwave overtones while keeping the lyrical content sharp and relevant.
Bam!
At least now you get to choose which lie you prefer is the lie. That there is a list and they're now hiding it. Or that there never was one and it was a carrot on a stick the whole time. Life is a fun game hahaha! Wheeeee

Or it's just another evil act in a long line of evil acts by intensely evil people. Why are we belittling how horrifying and evil these people are by constantly giving them the benefit of "It's a distraction" as opposed to "This is all evil strung like beads upon time"?
