r/blackgaze

Just looking around the subs of my favorite genres for some good German band recommendations for my upcoming trip to Germany next month.

Thanks again! Cheers.

Just discovered them on The Flenser’s Instagram page. They’re dropping an album with them in October. Really digging this first single there’s a “proggy” vibe to it with the weird time signatures. Lovely drumming

Sadness' newest merch was sold out so this shirt it was. Though I don't mind because I love this album.

Listen and tell me what you think.

For fans of Deftones, Nirvana, and BMTH

Here's a small preview, I am editing a full multicam show from their visit in Denmark a few days ago! I was working 5 cameras simultaneously.

I received the sound files from the sound engineer and im almost done with the whole concert, so thankful for this experience ❤️

If you like Tolkien's Middle-earth Legendarium and blackgaze (with some very dancy elements!) to soundtrack a swift sunrise, I think you'll enjoy this record about Bill the Pony. Great summer record!

perseverance is a solo project of mine that I started making music for starting in 2024, a little bit before I turned 16. I would usually describe it as cybergrind with black metal / blackgaze and avant-garde / experimental elements and influences. However, for this album, it’s more along the lines of experimental metal in general as many of the songs are much more developed.

The project and its music was mainly made for my own personal enjoyment or because I wanted to see it exist, but I figured it wouldn’t hurt to also share it with the world and see how it goes.

The release that I have linked in particular is my newly released, third album, madera, which follows a much more conceptual, eclectic, and experimental sound as opposed to my previous albums, posergrind and sadism.

Inspired by the album California by Mr. Bungle, I wanted to make an album that would try to give more credit and notice to my hometown of Madera, express some small-town pride if you will. While creating the album, I ended up diverting into a more personal and biographical approach to this album (including using original recordings and samples made by me or my family, other people, etc., making direct references to places in my hometown that have importance to me, and basically paying tribute to certain things and people that I found to have personally impacted my life). This album basically ended up as a personal account of my life and experience in Madera, rather than a full representation of the city; this is just from my perspective, there’s plenty more to see for yourself other than what I alone have written. Some parts on this album will be further explained in my fifth album, as I have another album for this project coming in eight months that I wanted to release first.

This album is both a shoutout to my hometown and a semi-autobiography.

My main influences for the project include Black Flag, Celtic Frost, Converge, Deafheaven, Fantômas, Full of Hell, Godflesh, Mr. Bungle, Philip Glass, Today Is the Day, and Wesley Willis. I also took some visual inspiration from the 1977 black-and-white film Eraserhead, directed by David Lynch. However, for this album, I was inspired by many other different artists including MF DOOM, Miles Davis, Phil Elverum, and Xiu Xiu. I was also generally inspired by the sounds of chamber music and punk rock for some songs, and the intro track was inspired by Bhangra music.

This album has had a LOT more attention and thought put into it like I’ve never done before, so I hope you find something to enjoy out of it!
