If I wasn't so acclimated to it, I wouldn't be able to believe how bad new music is today.  It's a sea of mediocrity, of style over substance, sealed together by digital programs like Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Cubase making worthless bands' complete lack of ideas stand out in compressed, crystal clear, digitally flat relief... without any "mistakes" (who cares).  Every band sounds identical to me and it seems to be a mark of honor in 2025 to have no vision or daring to do anything new.  There are a few unusual new bands that try to combine different sounds and genres, hell, they have enough to choose from today, but even their output sounds shallow and ultimately has no replay value.  Modern metal fucking sucks, just like this lazy, mercantile modern culture of modern art, films, shows and books almost ALL deserves to be flushed down a large toilet.  I listen to 10-15 promos a day sometimes, I give everything sent to me a chance unless the genre is something out of my taste completely, so no one can tell me I don't try or don't know what's going on.  Increasingly the only way to find anything authentic these days, full of actual reflection and depth, is to look outside of Western countries in Eastern Europe or fucked up Asian countries or to people aged 40 and up, as most (not all) of this generation is dead to imagination, emotion and creativity.  Go fuck yourselves.

Just a month or so left of the worst season of the year for those that despise being around and seeing other people like me.

Here is a random thought: do those that "collect" digital files also think having digital friends or girl/boyfriends is the same as having the "real", physical thing?  I still find it laughable that people pay even one cent for digital music.

Speaking of digital files, I am checking some old Czech demos and recommend Bigotry, a doom/death classic with a sound bands don't know how to make anymore.   Inspired me to also check out the demo of Love History who derived their name from a song from this recording.
