@Voltan Where do you stand on Cynic and Atheist for the epitome of jazz metal? I think Cynic's Focus and Atheist's Unquestionable Presence are both on Youtube.

I like them but don’t listen to them much

@Voltan I see, fair enough. What music have you been listening to besides the track you just posted, recently?

Cruising the Canadian badlands with the sun shining and it just feels like a ‘The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer’ kind of day 😊

I haven’t seen the video yet and can’t watch it right now but I’m in this

Friends of mine started this project last year to keep busy while in lockdown. The idea is to have guests from the Polish rock and metal scene. Some are close friends, some are scene veterans and big deals in the metal world.
Anyways, they did a few of these cover versions but this is the biggest one yet.
Lemme know what you think and I’ll check it out myself later 😉

@Voltan that was wicked, man! Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a fun project. rock on 🤘

Forgot to mention I’m also singing in the chorus (not sure if it’s in the video)

Spotify is outing me as a mid-00s sadboi and I’m not amused.

@nessisonett Spotify made a new “metal mix” “just for me” today and it was full of things most metalheads I know would absolutely hate 😅

@Voltan Isn’t that basically the Spotify algorithm though? They seem to not be able to tell the difference between metal and hyperpop which can be very confusing 😂

@nessisonett I mean - it’s stuff I like but I know people who would take serious offense from it being called “metal” lmao

@Voltan Metalheads can be very particular about that kinda thing. If Limp Bizkit can be considered ‘metal’ even if it’s of the ‘nu’ variety then basically anything goes as far as I’m concerned.

@nessisonett "Throw yo' hands up!". Apparently Eddie Van Halen rehearsed with Limp Bizkit once, but loads of people there were taking drugs so he apparently left and returned the next day in an assault vehicle, put a gun to Fred Durst's red-capped head and said "Get my sh*t, motherf*cker!!" and his guitars and amps were loaded into the vehicle by a Durst-underling whilst Van Halen kept the gun to Durst's red-capped head the whole time! Believe it?

@Voltan Some really good vocalists there in the Stars music video, saw you playing keyboards as well, great song too.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I don’t think I ever thought of Eddie Van Halen as the gun type!

@nessisonett Perhaps not.

@nessisonett What have you been listening to lately?

@Jimmer-jammer @Th3solution @Thrillho And how about you, my friends? What have you been listening to lately?

@TheBrandedSwordsman today I’ve got Kid Koala’s 12bit Blues in the player. One of the best DJ’s around in my opinion. This isn’t from 12bit Blues but it’s pretty amazing.

@TheBrandedSwordsman here’s a snappier number from 12bit Blues.
