#accept — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

I have been following a site for adopting dogs that need new homes for a very long time. But recently whenever I find a match it makes me so sad that I think it's better to just unsubscribe from the updates so as not to be reminded of this painful fact on a daily basis. 😞
It's hard for me to do that as it was something that would give me hope about the future, that some day I might find that dog buddy again. 🐶
But maybe I should just try to #accept what the situation is now and try to deal with things the way they are.
This is my way of trying to do so. Putting my thoughts in order and trying to deal with what has been handed to me.

Greyhawk – Warriors of Greyhawk Review By Holdeneye

What a week this has been for Seattle-based, Hawk-themed, team-oriented activities! Not only did I just get to see my beloved Seattle Seahawks reach the precipice of American football via the most awesome post-season arc I could have possibly drawn up, but I also get yet another opportunity to cover my beloved hometown metal heroes, Greyhawk. I’ve written ad nauseam about how I found the band and their brand of hard-rocking traditional metal, and I’ve routinely gushed my appreciation for their commitment to mind-positivity. Yes, it is safe to say that I am a total fanboy. So, it was with a fair bit of trepidation that I sat down with Greyhawk’s third full-length album, Warriors of Greyhawk, knowing it to be the band’s first release since the departure of their distinctive original front man, Revere “Rev” Taylor. I’ve always loved Taylor’s operatic approach to metal singing, so I guess it makes sense that he has moved on to pursue (rather successfully, it appears) a career as a professional opera singer. How does a party carry on after the departure of such a powerful wizard? Let’s find out.

Greyhawk’s sound has been undergoing constant evolution since the band’s beginnings, and Warriors of Greyhawk is no different. Over the years, the straightforward heavy metal of the band’s debut EP has morphed to include elements of speed metal, album-oriented rock, and now, with the introduction of new singer Anthony Corso, a healthy dose of power metal. Corso has a much more “standard” approach to metal vocals than Taylor, and his high register leaves him naturally suited to bridge the gap between classic heavy metal and its cheesiest of cousins. Advance single “Ascension” begins in Priestly fashion before handing out some Helloween candy with Corso’s stratospheric chorus. The track strikes the perfect balance between the band’s traditional past and powerful future.

Warriors Of Greyhawk by Greyhawk

And that balance is a microcosm of the rest of Warriors of Greyhawk. The band’s trad-metal identity is secure with cuts like “Take a Stand,” the Dio-esque title track, and the Accept-able “Embers Rise,” with the latter being the most quintessentially snarl-able heavy metal song I’ve heard so far this year. Thanks to the furious groove laid down by guitarists Jesse Berlin and Rob Steinway and the thunder from bassist Darin “The Bulletproof Barbarian” Wall, the track gives me some serious Dream Evil vibes. But the band just as easily veers into pure power metal with the Running Wild riffing of “Endless Race” and “Land of Ashes, while “Hyperspace” blasts straight to Guitar Hero status with enough pyrotechnics to rival Dragonforce.

I dig the production this time out. It feels big and beefy most of the time, but the leads still have that razor-sharp, molten edge to them—*Chef’s kiss*. About the only misstep I can point to is the inclusion of essentially two epic closers back-to-back in “Rise Above” and “Eternal Quest.” Both songs are good, but I think that “Rise Above” fails to match the quality of its set mates and that Warriors of Greyhawk would feel tighter (at 43 minutes instead of 49) and finish more powerfully had it been axed. The band took a risk by including Rev Taylor beside Corso on album highlight “Chosen,” and I’ll admit that hearing his powerful baritone nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. But ultimately, the track ends up being a fitting farewell to a foundational figure in the band’s history, and it’s the perfect way for fans to compare Greyhawk’s past to its future. Best of luck on your future endeavors, Rev. Metal’s loss is opera’s gain!

Warriors of Greyhawk is undoubtedly a transitional album as the band finds its way forward with a new vocalist, but it also feels like the songwriting has reached a new level compared to previous efforts. This leaves Greyhawk with enormous potential moving forward, and honestly, without a minor flub at the album’s close, I’d be tempted to hang a 4.0 on this one. Much like those other Hawks of Seattle, apparently, these guys don’t rebuild; they reload. Go Hawks!

BAEST – Colossal Review

By ClarkKent

Between 2018 and 2021, the Danish quintet, BAEST, dished out three albums of brutal, intense death metal. Ferrous Beuller had high praise for their sophomore release, Venenum, singling out its “superior songwriting” and hailing BAEST as among his “favorites in the death metal flood of 2018.” COVID slowed their momentum, however, leaving a four-year gap between Necro Sapiens and Colossal. This span of time has given BAEST plenty of time to reflect, and, as a result, fans will find them a notably different group. Any changes a band makes to their core sound risks alienating fans, but on the flip side, keeping strictly to the limits of a genre can also hamper creativity. It’s less important that a band sticks to their core sound than it is to write and play enjoyable music. Regardless of whether they have succeeded in this goal, you best prepare to baste your ears in the roar of the beast that BAEST has unleashed.

There’s no doubt when “Stormbringer” starts up that this is a different BAEST. The brutal, muscular guitar riffs have been stripped down to something closer to arena rock–think Accept or 90s-era Metallica. Yet Simon Olsen’s vocals and Sebastian Abildsten’s drumming still bring the thunderous power of the BAEST of old, placing them more in line with deathened rock.1 Brutal or not, it’s hard to complain when the song is as fun as “Stormbringer” or “King of the Sun.” “Stormbringer” probably best meshes the old BAEST with the new. Opening with anthemic rock riffs, it eventually settles into their old might, but with a fresh energy. “King of the Sun” is the catchiest of the bunch, anchored by infectious riffs and mesmerizing cymbal taps that’ll keep themselves securely lodged in your brain. This tune best outlines the musical potential that BAEST taps into by leaving the confines of brutality.2

Unfortunate inconsistencies keep Colossal from being a smooth listening experience, however. According to the promo notes, BAEST did not start off in their new direction–first they wrote “Colossus” and “Imp of the Perverse.” These tracks feel slightly out of place due to their slower pacing and doomier vibe. They’re fine songs, but they’re also not as compelling as the better material described above. About 90 seconds in, “Colossus” boasts an outpouring of high-octane energy that is 30 seconds of death metal bliss. Yet the remainder of the track is just okay, and it becomes grating to hear Olsen repeat the word “Colossus” over and over. “Imp of the Perverse” fares better as an overall song, and fans of Edgar Allan Poe will be happy with its lyrics: Olsen begins by singing “I stand upon the brink of a precipice.” But at 6 minutes, it drags on a tad long and also suffers from the repetition problem of “Colossus,”one that plagues much of Colossal.

I’ve described the good and the decent, and now I get to the ugly. It’s unfortunate that two of the longer songs on Colossal (“In Loathe and Love” and “Depraved World”) do little to stand out with catchy hooks or interesting riffs. That they drag on for so long is baffling. They do little to earn their lengthier stays–nothing progressive, no riffs or choruses that make you want the songs to continue past a few minutes. And some of those riffs are just plain bad. “In Loathe and Love” starts off decently before breaking into chords that awkwardly pull away from the melodicism of the intro. Even “Depraved World” has some good ideas, but they overstay their welcome by repeating themselves “time and again” for 6 minutes.3 I can’t fault the musicians so much as the inconsistency of the songwriting.

BAEST acknowledge that the new direction they take with Colossal risks alienating their fans. But they wanted to write songs that are fun and catchy. While they do succeed on that front to an extent, a chunk of what they play is not very fun or catchy. The lesser material does a disservice to the stuff that is really good. It makes the 42-minute album feel much longer. 4 In the end, they lose the brutal bite of years past, but the trade-off is only a few really catchy songs, some that are decent, and a couple of clunkers. It’s a shame. I really enjoy listening to these guys play, and when they click, like on “King of the Sun,” it’s a blast. Hopefully, next time they’ll have more of that same magic.

Stuck in the Filter: May 2025’s Angry Misses

By Kenstrosity

Every day we toil, rain or shine, to find you the semi-finest ore of the month. Lately, though, it’s been mostly rain. Leaks abound, uniforms are soaked to the bone, the chutes are slick and slippery. We must continue, however, to provide for the masses!

Unfortunately, we don’t have any resources to keep anything dry in this godforsaken place. I hope you like your Filter nuggets soggy!

Kenstrosity’s Meanest Meanies

Death Whore // Blood Washes Everything Away [May 16th, 2025 – Self-Release]

Hailing from Nancy, France, crust/death newcomers Death Whore unleashed what is surely one of the meanest records of the year so far. A debut capable of humbling some of the better releases by far more seasoned acts, Blood Washes Everything Away is a nonstop cavalcade of stank-face, bone-shattering riffs. From the onset of vicious onslaught “Inhaling the Dead,” to the stomp and swerve that is the massive “Infernal Terror Machine” and “None Are Forgotten,” to the blistering and evil “12 Worm Wounds,” Death Whore crafted 11 brutally addictive, but smart and lean cuts guaranteed to snap necks. They allow only the sharpest hooks to imbue accessibility to this killer material, but make no sacrifice to the filthy, crust-laden tones and textures determined to pummel and paste (“Noyé dans le sang,” “Motorthroat ’79,” “Savage Aesthetic Revenge”). Throw in a refreshing message criticizing late-stage capitalistic trends, worldwide misappropriation of wealth by the elite class, and the futility of hard work in the modern era for those struggling to meet their basic needs (“You Owe Me a Living”), and you’ve got a record after my heart. I can already tell that I’m going to regret not saving Blood Washes Everything Away from Filter relegation by the time this publishes, but don’t let my transgression in this matter stop you from enjoying of deep Death Whore.

Executionist // Sacrament of the Sick [May 16th, 2025 – Self-Release]

West Virginian death thrashers Executionist were not on my radar. First off, I am, historically, very picky when it comes to thrash. It slaps when it slaps and leaves me cold when it doesn’t. Lately, though, I’ve been digging the style more and more, and Executionist’s particularly meaty take on Kreator WIOLENCE has my attention thoroughly affixed. With debut LP Sacrament of the Sick, Executionist bring on the riffs, but elevate them with blackened tremolos, rabid barks, and an immense bass tone. Opener proper “Edge of Annihilation” pulls no punches, but only hints at the quality held beyond. There’s an almost At the Gates-like sense of melody here, one which works in tandem with deadly riffs and blackened char instead of as a mere surface-level decoration (“Wheels of War,” “Divided We Stand… United We Fall”). While Sacrament of the Sick relies heavily on the long form for its song structures, creating a spot of bloat, there’s usually something memorable and interesting to keep me invested in the story from beginning to end (“Thy Kingdom Come,” “Sacrament of the Sick”). With just a little tightening of the screws, Executionist could easily become the next big name in thrash. Until then, rest easy knowing Sacrament of the Sick is a worthy contender on its own merits.

Thus Spoke’s Shiny Scraps

Ghost Bath // Rose Thorn Necklace [May 9th, 2025 – Nuclear Blast]

DSBM is a genre of necessity tied to a particular mood, and it’s not a happy one. In spite—or perhaps because—of this,1 it’s one I usually enjoy. Ghost Bath’s take on this particular type of misery music has fluctuated between more black metal and more post, and I personally found it never quite stuck. Rose Thorn Necklace, however, has kept me coming back for repeated mope sessions for weeks. It’s still recognisably Ghost Bath thanks to those same echoing howls that lurch into voiceless high-pitched wails (“Well, I Tried Drowning”), and a familiarity about the bitter refrains. But synths now play a prominent role in driving melody2 both dreamy (“Grotesque Display,” “Throat Cancer”) and uncomfortably upbeat (“Vodka Butterfly”), as things swing back in the direction of post-leaning DSBM. Layered strums lace into pessimistic chord swings and scream-resonant atmoblack (title, track, “Dandelion Tea,” “Stamen and Pistil”), sometimes recalling Harakiri for the Sky. It manages to be pretty, in that characteristically depressing way, as minor melodies bleed into blackened tantrums (“Well, I Tried Drowning”) or ride on synths as harrowing screams narrate (“Throat Cancer”). The snippets of coughing (“Dandelion Tea”), sobbing (“Vodka Butterfly”), and sirens (“Throat Cancer”) are par for the course, but still very effective, and the ending duo “Needles” and the horribly—but brilliantly—named “Throat Cancer” is kind of…genuinely lovely in a really gross, demoralising sense. I’m converted.

ClarkKent’s Bestial Beats

Animalize // Verminateur [May 23, 2025 – Dying Victims Productions]

While the album cover might not inspire confidence, make no mistake, Animalize is worthy of your attention. On their sophomore album, Verminateur, these Frenchmen bring youth and energy to the old school speed and traditional metal scene. They mix up mid-tempo tunes with high-octane thrash, and even throw in a lovely piano ballad for good measure (“Priere de Remords”). On tracks like “Chevel Astral” and “Au Jugement de Soi” you can hear influences ranging from Accept to Def Leppard, while the lightning-fast “Verminateur” sounds like a blast from Judas Priest’s Painkiller. Front man Coyote brings plenty of charm, ranging from excitedly shrill to cool-headed, all while executing some well-timed “oohs” and infectious laughter here and there. Fortunately, he doesn’t carry all of the weight. Jessman and RattleGab keep the riffs spicy throughout, ensuring Animalize never phones it in, while Lynx’s drumming adds some much-needed heft. The songwriting is nice and tight, allowing the album to clock in at a tidy 36 minutes. As good as each song is, the icing on the cake is “Envahisseurs,” which will end up as a strong candidate for song of the year. It brings a killer riff and thrilling energy that’s sure to get the Statue of Liberty to drop her torch and make some devil horns.

Owlswald’s Feathered Echoes

Pandemia // Darkened Devotion [May 16th, 2025 – Hammerheart Records]

After a decade between releases, Czech death metal veterans Pandemia burst back onto the scene with their sixth full-length, Darkened Devotion. Still channeling the menacing souls of legends like Vader and Immolation, Darkened Devotion marks a significant yet successful pivot towards a more accessible sound for Pandemia. Delivering bone-crushingly heavy and succinct songs that are both memorable and easily palatable, Pandemia haven’t lost their edge—they’ve simply refined it. From “Nightmare Paradox’s” gut-punching, wicked riffing to “Catalepsy’s” gratifying, atmospheric thrash-inspired arpeggiations, every part of Darkened Devotion feels focused and tastefully executed. New drummer Jake Bayer (Cutterred Flesh) is an absolute beast, shaping Darkened Devotion’s mammoth backbone with thunderous rapid-fire double bass runs (“Blessed, Blessed Oblivion,” “Depths”), intricate tom fills (“The Pallor of Detest,” “The Wretched Dance”) and precision blasts (“Nighttime Paradox,” “A Sea to Breathe In”). Returning guitarist Alex Marek—last heard on 2005’s Riven—unleashes a barrage of infectious shredding that makes headbanging involuntary. Jaroslav “Jarda” Friedrich’s bass and Jikra Krš’s vocals complement Bayer and Marek’s authority with angry drawls and guttural, gravely growls. The album’s overall tone is immense, effortlessly engulfing listeners into its nocturnal anxieties with ease. With Darkened Devotion, Pandemia have forged a refined and brutal auditory feast that genuinely took me by surprise. Embrace the darkness.

Killjoy’s Dreamy Delights

Asthénie // Iridescence [May 5th, 2025 – Self-Release]

Iridescence is literally a colorful piece of music. Named after the naturally occurring phenomenon of an object appearing to change colors, Asthénie assigned a different color to each of these five songs. The guitars are the main focus here—whether with a glimmer (“Mélèze”) or a shimmer (“Indigo”), they brilliantly showcase the prettier side of post metal. Hardcore-tinged screams boldly accentuate the guitars’ vibrant hues, providing heft and urgency. Somewhat ironically, “Gris” (meaning grey) takes up the most time at 11 minutes and is the most developed contrast between the calm and furious. At only 35 minutes in total, Iridescence passes like a beautiful breeze with little fluff or filler. While by no means necessary, some clean vocals could potentially add even more color to a future release. Though this is not the first instance this year of a post-black record patterned after various wavelengths in the visible light spectrum, Iridescence is resplendent in its own right.

Au Clair de Lune // In the Wake of Dusk [May 16th, 2025 – Self-Release]

Moonlight and bodies of water share an intrinsic artistic bond. There’s something deeply enchanting about a celestial, ghostly source of illumination amidst a dark, murky setting. Leonard Sinaguglia’s blackgaze project Au Clair de Lune aurally combines these two aesthetics via dreamy, floaty guitars and synths akin to Autumn Nostalgie and, of course, Alcest’s Écailles de Lune. At times, the melodies are smooth and glassy like the surface of a lake (“Echoing Silhouettes,” “Neon Dusk”). Other times, they’re upbeat and catchy as a rip current (“Anaemoia,” “Distant Glow”). The principal vocal style is a mild rasp, more for flavor than heaviness, though Falyriae adds her airy singing voice on occasion. Although the track order and overall pacing usually find a good balance between the atmospheric parts and the punchy parts, the longer track lengths make In the Wake of Dusk feel a bit fluffy in places. But even so, Au Clair de Lune provides a satisfying and transportative experience to an unearthly realm.

Dolphin Whisperer’s Dusky Deposition

Slumbering Sun // Starmony [May 9th, 2025 – Self Release]

Music is the closest thing we have to magic in this world. When a great song or a great album graces your ears, it’s a clean sweep to any combo the head, heart, and gyrating body. Such was the case with Lone Star Doomsters Slumbering Sun and their debut release The Ever-Living Fire back in 2023. With a fragile heart in one hand and a fat riff in the other, their take on the kind of sadboi doom you’d hear in bands like Warning or early Pallbearer struck me deep. On Starmony, much of the same elements return: growling bass underpinning stadium-sized riffs, Ozzy-like vocals that bustle with a modern emotion and charisma, and a posty playfulness that allows long-form compositions to swell and soar. The only trouble is that it takes a couple songs for Starmony to settle into that same form of riffed-out hypnosis, with the one-two intro of “Together Forever” and “Keep It a Secret” sounding like the middle drive of a live set rather than the start of an introspective journey. But with the violin-assisted weeping catharsis of “Midsommar Night’s Dream” and “Wanderlust,” the waltzing melody of “Danse Macabre,” and the Thin Lizzy-styled dueling leads of “The Tower,” Slumbering Sun again finds a monstrous groove in hopeful and hammering songcraft. And, of course, if you get a chance to catch this act live like I did, just a few days before The Dolphlet emerged, you’ll fall extra prey to the kinds of doomy incantations that Slumbering Sun conjures with their mystic-minded compositions. In fat riffs we trust, and in sorrowful hearts we linger.

Tyme’s Tragic Tones

Enterré Vivant // 悪罪 (Akuzaï) [May 26th, 2025 – Antiq]

Comprised of French multi-instrumentalist Erroiak and vocalist Sakrifiss—whose 25-year residency in Japan heavily influences the music—depressive black metallers Enterré Vivant’s3 third album, Akuzaï, blew me away. My DSBM bar was set long ago by Shining‘s unfuckwithable V: Halmstad, and yet Akuzaï has come along to give it a run for its money. Centered around 10 Buddhist sins, Akuzaï relates the experiences of Japanese civilians and victims during the Second World War. From the emotionally charged cover photo depicting a mother breastfeeding her newborn shortly after the bombing of Nagasaki,4 to the haunting interludes and shimmering, melancholic melodies within, Akuzaï melds traditional, tremolo-picked guitars and icy vocals ala Summoning and Emperor (“Sesshô,” “Shin’i”) with Moonsorrow-esque keys, Japanese-influenced flutes and violins, along with ghostly moaning howls to create its depressive atmospheres. Transitioning from the twisted croaks of interlude “Waraguchi,” album highlight “Jain” begins with mournful pianos and a pensive, tremolo-picked lead before crashing forth in waves of crushingly cascading chords and Sakrifiss’ tortured screams, its eight and a half minutes awash in black metal sadness. By the time the wails of a suffering child floated in around the seven-and-a-half-minute mark, my arms had broken out in goosebumps, and my heart was fucking broken. Offering yet another lens through which to view the torturous horrors of war, Akuzaï is harrowing, relentless, and not to be missed.

Heathen’s Eye – Port Inspiro Review

By Angry Metal Guy

Written by: Nameless_n00b_607

The past is a vast well of knowledge and inspiration, but dwelling in it too much has its perils. Not enough of your spin on things can make your album sound generic and stale, while too much can alienate your target audience. Genres with accessible melodic songwriting are a precarious balancing act in this regard, and standing out becomes even more of a trial by fire. Swedish band Heathen’s Eye is boldly trying to make their mark in these well-traveled lands with their debut Port Inspiro, the Esperanto title meaning ‘inspired by the past.’ Can this freshly formed team of experienced musicians sail through time without getting lost along the way?

The heart of Heathen’s Eye beats comfortably within the late-’80s/early-‘90s borderlands between melodic rock and metal. On the metal side of things, the songwriting channels the anthemic nature of Accept’s Metal Heart. Electrifying guitars by axe wielder Göran Hamrin, accompanied by the soaring baritone vocals of Robb Lindh, are Port Inspiro’s driving force, bringing a welcome Jornian attitude to the record. While Lindh is not Lord Jørn—and occasionally trades away his strengths for versatility—his voice fits the genre like a glove, being often reminiscent of a more rock-oriented Johan Längqvist (Candlemass). In between the heavier bits are traces of Magnum and Journey piercing through, with Mikael Andersson’s wide synth arsenal drifting from bright and nostalgic to dark and mystical between songs. Despite leaning towards the softer end of the metalverse, Heathen’s Eye shows they can still riff, with some unexpectedly hefty guitar and drum work (“Mirrorman,” “Blind”) adding appropriate counterweight to the album.

Confident veteran musicianship makes Port Inspiro turn out to be more varied and ambitious than it seems at first glance. “Ghosts of Yesterday” and “Monsters” both recall the subtly progressive melodic side of acts such as ‘90s Fates Warning or earlier Queensrÿche. This side of the record makes it a good companion piece to something like the recent A-Z album, albeit leaning less towards prog and more towards AOR. When Heathen’s Eye ups the speed and energy, a hint of power metal influence is noticeable too. The record reaches a particular apex when all these separate elements get to coalesce and transcend (“Firepriest”). While I wish the album had more bursts of glory in this vein and spent less time in its mid-paced comfort zone, the material’s catchiness mostly makes up for the lack of speed. The band’s influences coming from more than one place significantly increase the album’s replay value, and a smooth blend crafted by experienced hands keeps the ship well afloat.

Port Inspiro is an enjoyable experience overall, but it suffers from some pacing issues. At 63 minutes, the album quite convincingly sprints past LP length. Its plentiful hooks and variety offer a convincing illusion of brevity, but most songs here fall in the 5–6-minute range, and some do overstay their welcome (“Monsters,” “Time to Deliver”). The pacing also becomes apparent in the album’s clunky middle, where several songs in a row feature lengthy intros, suggesting a mild case of Steve Harris-itis. Another place where the pacing is problematic is that Heathen’s Eye places two ballads almost next to each other. Cutting the somber, stylistic pariah “Lost in the Wind” would result in a more cohesive album. Ultimately, none of these are huge issues, and the album is still a pleasant journey with all 12 tracks ranging from solid to very good. The warm and vibrant production job at a surprising DR10 helps to make Port Inspiro cozy listening from start to finish.1

If Heathen’s Eye can further zero in on their songwriting, their good formula here could very well turn into a resounding triumph. Port Inspiro celebrates the past while also combining the band’s influences in interesting ways. It might not be innovative—it doesn’t intend to be—but it does succeed in its main goal: it’s fun. And while some extra trimming and urgency would have further improved the record’s pacing, it still manages to feel shorter than it is. Even with occasional missteps, Port Inspiro is a comfortable listen that has plenty of tunes combining anthemic and creative, inspired by but not stuck in the past. I’ll be curious to see if they can take what they’ve learned and follow up with an even stronger package; momentum is on their side.
