Let's Build Loren (the albums that have shaped my life)

That youtube url thing has 3 consecutive lowercase f's. Cuz **** ****ing ****ers.

This is some cold depressive black metal for pussies (or you just don't dig extreme metal). Highly dynamic and smooth indie rock, or sadcore if you think of that as a legitimate genre of music... like me.

It's an essential record I think, much slower and pacing than the Chokebore album I posted but no less crushing on your little cold heart. It's a bit post-rockish, hypnotic by way of repetition, ever building. It is a little bit monotonous tbh, but that's what gives it it's mundane charm.

Today is the Day - Willpower

Titd are pretty much one if the most wicked bands ever. The kinda twisted and evil music you should show to people who think straightened haircore is brutal. Over their career they have pushed all kinds of boundaries, musically, emotionally, **** you-ly. With a decent sized discography that ventures into chaotic noisecore/rock, extreme metal, noise experimentation, post hardcore and **** like that. But it was early in their career when they hit a major stride with Willpower. It's not ad terrifying as they might had become, but it's just so very very spectacular. Compared to say, their double monster album Sadness Will Prevail, Willpower is catchy and memorable, textural, precise, emotional in a more personal way, and succinct. Pretty short album but it doesn't waste any time at all, rocking, killing, stabbing and ****.

It's very listenable when you hold it next to SWP or something. It's just outrageously good.

One of the best albums ever you stupid bitches. You know how many stats out of 10 I'd give it? ****ing 10.

You don't love me, I don't care

I put a list in the OP if that is something that would matter

I want to get way more into Today Is the Day than I actually am. Like, they have great **** and great ideas, but I just haven't heard the songs to really hook me like I always hope they will. But Temple of the Morning is def awesome.

I guarantee you will like this album

Dunno what to say really, just a wonderful ska punk album, my favorite as a matter of fact. It's one of the albums I've listened to and loved the longest, and I almost guarantee I've listened to this more than any other album. Every track a banger, every hook a lover, every word a friend.

I'm with Mondo....Today is the Day has literally done nothing bad....a couple of ok/good albums and several life changers....the first three i really lump into one....some of the greatest albums ever put out on AmRemp....but In The Eyes of God and Temple of the Morning Star are probably my favorite albums buy them....i proudly wear a Sadness Will Prevail hoodie daily......

i really hope you have but just in case you missed out of the UXO release earlier this year....just because Chris Spencer and Steve Austin together is exactly what it should be

I haven't listened to Kiss the Pig but I'm a fan of everything else. The early stuff is especially awesome, yeah the SWP/Eyes of God metal stuff is great, but they had such a distinct and original misanthropic take on noise rock and post hardcore like nothing else.

That's my name in the title.
That's right, this has been about me the whole time, consider your world rocked.

I feel compelled to mention this, it's from a split between the Endless Blockade and the Bastard Noise called the Red List.

Even while listening to Sonic Youth and loving the integration of noise and drone and the unlimited sonic capabilities therein, I wasn't sold on full on harsh noise yet. Endless Blockade are a powerviolence band sure, but do power electronics for days. And, such as some of this monster track, it's anadulterated noise annihilation minus the rock setting.

I listened to the split once and thought it went mad hard
