Gorguts - Obscura

Death metal band takes death metal and flips it on its head. I forget the exact phrasing from an interview with the frontman Luc Lemay, but he said they wanted to make their instruments speak in a new way. It's highly experimental and maybe tough to digest even for death metal fans, but it's undeniably unique and brilliant.

Hell yeah. And Bergtatt, "ahh, just right".

They sang songs with lyrics about New York together and that was that.

Other, less-likely factors:

New York loves Mamdani. Trump loves New York.

Trump wants to align himself with winners, and Mamdani is a winner.

Mamdani explained to him how doing what is good for New Yorkers would result in a boom for businesses and the economy.

He feels comradery over the ragebait questions from the press.

The writing is on the wall with a low approval rating and the Epstein Files. He sees his loss of support and party circling like hyenas. He's desperate and/or willing to try something different to save face. Maybe he becomes a Democrat. He never admitted to supporting Project 2025 and friends, and would betray them to serve himself. He doesn't give a shit as long as he stays in power. Woke Trump 2026.

Frequency illusion going hard. This is my second time hearing the term "wrist breaker". The first time was earlier today.

Thanks, I love it

Did you make this chart yourself from scratch or is there some kind of tracking tool to help?

Ulver's "Nattens Madrigal". Bees in a tin can.

Hilarious and accurate. And that one acoustic passage that makes you think "hey maybe there will be more like this".

Multiple fountain drinks weren't enough so he called in the can of root beer for backup

I'm also a PC gamer who prefers using a controller. No doubt a mouse is better for aiming, I just find a controller more comfortable and easier to relax with while playing, especially after working a desk job all day.

You should check out Remnant 2 and Risk of Rain 2.

I cast Occam's Razor on your theory.

There doesn't need to be a grand plan to explain what's going on. Besides, if people actually followed what Jesus taught we'd be at least a little better off. We can hardly work together for a greater good let alone stick to some alien plan.

My theory is this ball of idiots is bumbling around and doing idiot things against its better judgement. Smart enough to have made it this far, but dumb enough to fuck it up.

The 3EB and Leonard Cohen albums are quite deep lyrically. I was young when I got into those and didn't have the life experience to truly relate, but as time passed and I grew up, it's almost like they predicted the future. More like they talked about relatable experiences I would eventually have that would make sense later on. I appreciate them even more now as an adult for that reason.

The Gorguts one was present in a tough time in life. Maybe it could have been any other artist, but it happened to be this one that gave me strength in that moment. Specifically the high energy of that music was exactly what I needed to vibe with.

Abyss Watchers. These days I can backstab them all day, but first playthrough they served well as a skill check.

Twin Princes, too. Besides the teleport on top of your head, it's an extremely fair fight. If you respect their moves they practically can't hurt you. They were very tough the first couple playthroughs though.
