    Stress On The Sky got a reaction from Kyte30351 in Official CAVE IN Thread: Now Signed to Relapse! New Record Soon! Reissues!   
    I've got a mate who is the same, I was talking to him about White Silence and how awesome it was and he said "I loved Cave In" then I played him Serpents and his face was priceless so you're not alone. I mean you're WRONG but you're not alone.

    I saw them live on the Better Nature tour and whilst that album gets a lot hate thrown on it (I'd agree it is their weakest) the material translated really well to the live show and yes its a poppy album with a lot of electronics. The thing that got me into these guys was their tasty fuzzed out guitars, their earlier albums and EPs were grittier and I loved Brian's occasional dives into screamy/harsher vocal territory but they were never my go to for heavy angst ridden/gritty music so I'm not fussed by the polish or the softening of edges here.
     
    To call both of their last albums abortions is a touch melodramatic to me but I mean opinions are personal and because of that there is no "wrong answer". Swoon was 10 years ago so if you're not digging this I guess its time for you to give in and let these guys go.

    Wow Dark Driving, Joy Opposites, Serpents and Big Riff!??!?!?! I don't know if I'm ready for tomorrow.

    If they play Youth Overrided I'll weep like a new born. To be fair I may just weep like a new born anyway.

    Nice, I’ll go back to NOTW sometime this week.  Was going to queue them up today at work, after seeing this thread... but apparently they’ve been pulled from Spotify?  Believe I still have their earlier albums + NOTW saved at home though.

    Putting the pre-orders up at 1 AM made me happy to be a sub club member. I realize the variants wouldn't sell out, but the obsessive collector in me would have been up until 1 just to be sure. Instead, I enjoyed my sleep knowing I already had the rarest variant locked up. Hooray for me. Hooray for justifying the moneyI spend on these memberships annually.

    I've heard that him and Tony Campos were best friends til the end but I mean who can know what Wayne would have approved of really? I agree that this looks pretty damn tasteless hence why when I saw this I shared a chuckle with the guys who also used to be Nu Metal skate rats back in the day.
     
    There is a "final album" of "Wayne Static's last recordings" also on the way where the tracks and if you'll forgive the pun stems* are fleshed out with a revolving door of lead vocalists from bands of a similar ilk including the guy from Dope and that man with the soulpatch made of piercings from Disturbed.  That is a more common way to go about cashing in before you fall into complete obscurity for sure.

    Still it's 2019 I'm not about to be outraged by the decisions made by what is left of Static-X.

    Drowse – Light Mirror
    By The Flenser on April 2, 2019 in Uncategorized The simplest questions are often the most difficult to answer.
    In April of 2018, Drowse’s Kyle Bates left his home in Portland, OR for an artist residency in barren northern Iceland. Much of Bates’ time there was spent in self-imposed isolation, giving him ample space to ponder the nature of solitude, and what it means to be “closed” or “open” to the world. Upon returning home, Bates worked obsessively. Maya Stoner, his longtime creative partner, sometimes came to sing, but recordings where mostly done alone. The dichotomy of his Icelandic musings materialized in a very real way as he neglected his personal relationships in favor of his art. While he was confronting his life-long fear of intimacy, and reconciling himself to a diagnosis of Bipolar 1, Bates found that the means he employed to conquer these obstacles—self reflection through art—carried with them an equal measure of misery. Light Mirror, Drowse’s second album for The Flenser, is a subtle exploration of these contradictory attitudes and their consequences that can be heard as an artifact of sonic self-sabotage.

    Light Mirror falls within a lineage of overcast Pacific Northwest albums (think Grouper’s Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill), but finds Drowse pushing past its slowcore roots. The album’s prismatic sound reflects experimental electronic, noise pop, black metal, krautrock, and more through Kyle’s distinct song-worlds. The lyrics are ruminations on the idea of multiple selves, identity, paranoia, fear of the body, alcohol abuse, social media, the power of memory, the truths that are revealed when we are alone, and the significance of human contact. They were influenced by filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky and poet Louise Glück, who both address self-contradiction. Mastered by Nicholas Wilbur (Mount Eerie, Planning for Burial) at the Unknown, the album showcases a striking maturation in sound. Light Mirror is Drowse’s most intimate and desolate work to date.
    The special edition includes a replica of the production journal Kyle Bates kept while recording Light Mirror alongside a short story written during the same time period. Interspersed with anxious personal digressions, the journal is a vivid glimpse into the artist’s process. The story speaks to the album’s themes and serves to deepen its world.
    Light Mirror will be out june 7th 2019.
    Pre-order.
    Bandcamp.
    Europe.
     
    Available on White, Black or White with journal.
    Subscribers are getting it on clear with silver 50/50 and the journal. Apparently that is limited to 150 so we now know the limit of the membership series. Haven't listened to the song yet as I'm waiting to give it my full attention.
     
    Also All Your Sister's Trust Ruins versions are all being sent out but there was a glitch where not everyone was sent shipping notifications but Jonathan is fixing it.
     
    Apologies for talking to myself so much in here.

    Normally “eh” about split variants but that one looks kinda’ perfect.  Just not $200 perfect, for this guy.  Really dig the single and will likely throw down for the bone variant + literature.
