I want to listen to more Albums/EP’s since I feel like I’m stuck listening to most of the same stuff, that usually being Count Your Blessings by Bring Me The Horizon, Suicide Season by Bring Me The Horizon, Chelsea Grin by Chelsea Grin, Stand Up & Scream by Asking Alexandria & She Watched The Sky by A Skylit Drive (there’s more but I didn’t want to drag on). So please give me your favourite albums & I’ll rate them on a personal scale of 1-10. Beware I like Deathcore, Metalcore, Post-Hardcore & in general heavy music with screaming, I’m not the biggest fan of modern pop or indie, do be offended if I give your album a low score, it’s just not my thing.

Personally I have to say Stand Up & Scream is my favourite album, but to me Reckless & Relentless is their best record as a band. I always come back to Stand Up & Scream & listen to almost all the songs separately, I don’t ever do the same with Reckless & Relentless, I usually end up listening to Reckless & Relentless as a whole almost every time. Either that or I listen to Dear Insanity on a loop for an hour, I still don’t believe any album has topped Reckless & Relentless as a whole for their definitive best album in my opinion.

I’ve been looking around at older blessthefall merch & it never really seems to be dated, obviously album specific shirts can be somewhat dated, but I’ve never been able to find exactly what year/era they were. I’ve always been curious of how the merch looked during the Craig era & the Witness era (because they’re my two favourite eras of the band). If anyone had any information on the older merch, it would be much appreciated :)

I’m trying to find something quick & easy to learn to record song demos, whilst still having good quality. I use BandLab currently & I know they aren’t exactly known for having good sound quality (the automatic download file is an .m4a file on mobile). I don’t exactly have great equipment to record with onto my computer, a cheap audio interface, a cheap microphone & a cheap crappy mic cable (which is now held together by tape), maybe totalling up to £80 or less, the microphone costed around £35 when I bought it & the interface wasn’t much different in price. So I want to know something I can use that I could possibly just use my phone for that still has good enough quality for a proper demo release.

I remember doing a lot of research when I wanted to add the EP to my IPod roughly a year & a half ago & I saw that there were different tracks in each release. The base 4 (Re, Flowers, Rawwwrr! & Traitors) were on every release I’ve seen, but some had additional tracks such as “The Film Produced The Effect I Wanted…”, however, looking on Discogs now, the versions I looked at no longer had additional tracks. Were they simply a mistake on Discogs or did they actually have tracks other than the main 4 which ended up on the Spotify release?

The current line up of my band haven’t been able to play together at all. For a long time I’ve been writing stuff in my bedroom with an acoustic guitar & teaching my friend how to play bass (this part may not seem important, but it’s important for later). Me & him were “the band” for a long time. We currently can’t really afford a lot so we’re working with what we’ve got & that means, no drums. Anyways. My friend met this girl who can play drums & she asks to join the band through him. I’m thinking that we need a drummer who already knows how to play because the last person I taught couldn’t hold a rhythm to save his life, so I’m fine with it. Fast forward a couple weeks. The bass friend & the girl have dated & broken up & the girl would not talk to the bass player. After I fix their relationship & they’re friends again, she barely checked the group chats we were in for the band. So when I’m trying to get feedback on lyrics I’ve written or titles I have, I only get it from the bassist & he only replies after a few hours. I have to personally reach out to the drummer one on one to get any kind of response or feedback from her because she apparently muted both group chats. We don’t live too far away (maybe only a couple hours) so we can meet up & do stuff, maybe try stuff in person, but she is basically impossible to get responses from her. So I don’t know. Should I fire her? Should I just try & get her to be more active (I’ve asked her once)? What should I really do? I’m really passionate for music & I really want to continue with this band because it’s my project first. I invited the bass player from my last band & to me it has been OUR project since because we haven’t had enough of a connection with any other “members”/they weren’t in the band long enough before quitting or being fired. (Sorry if this is worded badly, I’m not great at putting stuff like this into words)

Edit: it’s a hard decision for me to kick her out because (I forgot to mention) the bassist is still very much in love with her & I feel like it would be awkward to bring it up with him

Edit 2.0: bassist wants to do it as a hobby, drummer actually wants to do it as a job like I (she wants to do it as a side job & I wanna do it as a full time job, but that’s not the point right now), the bassist is gonna try to learn more so GOOD NEWS, I don’t think anyone’s getting fired :D

I’m going to be uploading a song a day until I’ve done every song, then I’ll put them in order :)

What is the name of “The End of Heartache” in 2K25? I know it’ll be under a different name than “The End of Heartache” so it would be helpful if one of you guys could help :)
