  9. One of our boutique record labels is launching a new venture in an effort to keep jazz and blues music before the public and make money for its artists.
    #music #recordings #independent #label

    As I launch our new label, Mapleshade Recordings, my goal is to adapt to the digital landscape. We are currently focusing on preserving, restoring, and digitally releasing projects via high-resolution downloads, though we may consider physical formats again in the future. Because streaming subscription services yield virtually no earnings for our musicians and label, I invite you to support our artists by purchasing downloads directly from our Bandcamp page. mapleshaderecordings.bandcamp.

  10. i have added our 2024 offshoot album "A Haunting at Sea" to Subvert!

    If you are into progressive ambient psychedelia or something, it might just float your boat.

    I will add more music when I get the chance - there are a further two albums in this vein to complete!

    Take a listen and let me know what you think!

  13. “Every one should discover, by experience of every kind, the extent and intention of his own sexual Universe. He must be taught that all roads are equally royal, and that the only question for him is ‘Which road is mine?’ All details are equally likely to be of the essence of his personal plan, all equally ‘right’ in themselves, his own choice of the one as correct as, and independent of, his neighbour’s preference for the other. He must not be ashamed or afraid of being homosexual if he happens to be so at heart; he must not attempt to violate his own true nature because public opinion, or mediaeval morality, or religious prejudice would wish he were otherwise.” library.hrmtc.com/2026/03/26/e #afraid #aleisterCrowley #all #allRoads #ashamed #atHeart #attempt #beingHomosexual #book #book220 #choice #correct #details #discover #equallyLikely #equallyRight #equallyRoyal #essence #everyKind #everyOne #experience #extent #happens #inThemselves #independent #intention #liberCCXX #liberLegis #mediaevalMorality #mine #must #mustNot #NewComment #onlyQuestion #other #otherwise #ownSexualUniverse #personalPlan #preference #publicOpinion #quote #religiousPrejudice #should #taught #TheBookOfTheLaw #trueNature #violate #whichRoad #wish

  16. Hey everyone! I’m so excited to announce my brand new chapbook with Bottlecap Press! I’ve been working very hard on this for the past few months, and it’s finally here to share with you all!

    SLT SHKR is an exploration of the memories that build the spirit, the life animating the body, and the fire inside the soul. It is a reflection of the ways we are bound to each other and a means of survival in daily fresh starts.

    I’m so proud of this work, and I’m so proud to share it with you. You can purchase it today at bottlecap.press/products/sltsch

    [ID: First image is blue crystalline book cover with white text for SLT SHKR by Carter Hemion on blue background with stars. Second image is poetry excerpt of "Last Stand" which reads: Blood pools in the sacred hourglass, / Salty sands dripping allegro con fuoco / (Consciousness fading just as quickly) / Knees knock locked in a deadly stance. / Fighting hopelessly, thighs quiver, / Last stand before worshipping dirt / (One stoned hit was all it took) / And all credit for walking was a ruse. End image description.]

  18. Harvested – Dysthymia Review

    By Tyme

    Despite a waning stigma, mental illness remains an oft-closeted topic, as those suffering from it struggle not only to cope but to discuss their struggles with others. Here to shed some of their death metal light on the matter are Canadian upstarts Harvested, with their independent debut full-length Dysthymia, which, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine, is defined as a long-lasting form of mild depression. Touching on topics ranging from submitting to one’s long-bottled-up ‘shadow self’ (“Repressed Neurosis”) to the gluttonous way humans abuse the earth (“Unanchored”), something Harvested consider a form of mental illness, they’ve dialed back the lyrically gorier aspects of their eponymous 2022 EP to intensify the focus on their chosen theme. As evidenced by the beautifully rendered CJ Bertram cover art, which main guitarist Mitchi Dimitriadis says depicts ‘an individual in great mental turmoil’ and represents ‘the abstract visualization of the chaos that is the human brain,’ it’s clear that Harvested are committed to the subject. The only question left to answer is whether it’s worth reaping what Harvested’s Dysthymia hopes to have sown.

    Nostalgically anchored in 1990s and early 2000s death metal, Harvested also incorporate modern elements of slam and tech-death into the mix to achieve Dysthymia’s goal. This is one brutal fucking record, and from the get, you realize Harvested aren’t messing about, as Dysthymia mashes the potatoes and pulls the meaty steaks off the grill, a muscle-bound manifestation of their Cannibal Corpse, Suffocation, and Deicide (“Harvested,” “The Infestation”) influences. Dimitriadis’ and Vitto Oh’s guitar harmonics are pinched harder than Grier‘s butt cheeks at an enema convention, ensorcelled by viscerally blistering riffs, technically proficient leads, and tornadic, swirling solos. Jacob Collins’ drums1 crack skulls and pummel sternums with whirling fills and destructive double-kicks while Eric Forget’s bass lines remember everything necessary to keep things rumbling along. Adam Semler’s vocals, primarily an homage to George Fisher’s chesty aggression and Glenn Benton’s demonic discernibility, also share elements with Cattle Decapitation’s Travis Ryan at his most high-pitched and raspy. For such a young band, Harvested have planted a flag on the death metal scene, and Dysthymia is the wind through which that flag furls, filled with exuberant, energy-filled performances and solid songwriting.

    With highlights aplenty, Dysthymia demands attention by way of its genuine songcraft and near flawless execution. I found myself stank-faced and sweaty through many a listen, whether basking in the glow of galloping riffs and percussive bass on “Unending Madness” or taking in the detailed technicality of the Soreption and The Zenith Passage influenced “Designed Dilemma,” a song that chugs so hard through its last ninety seconds I nearly gave myself whiplash. My favorite track, “Gathered and Deluded,” is a Cattle Decapitation-tinted slammer with pinched harmonic progressions that have been living rent-free in my head for weeks as Forget’s bass marches in flurrying lockstep with Collins’ robotically precise drums, and Selmer channels his best inner Travis Ryan. Harvested is one tight-knit outfit, belying their relatively brief existence and sounding like a band that’s been together much longer.

    I’d argue the efforts of Harvested’s “sixth member” deserve as much credit for the success Dysthymia should garner as the band themselves, and that is the excellent work Joe Lyko performed from the booth at Darkmoon Productions. Lyko’s mix and master slathers Dimitriadis’ and Oh’s guitar work in a tone that, for me, defies obvious comparison, as bright and bouncy as it is deadly and devastating. Like a calculated throat punch, it was the first thing that hit me when album opener, “Harvested,” launched, holding my rapt attention all the way through to “The Infestation,” an excellent close to Dysthymia’s very manageable thirty-two-minute runtime. Each instrument exists within its own space, breathing freely and intertwining with high-definition clarity, thereby topping this auditorily successful sundae with a big, fat, juicy cherry.

    Lyrically poignant, brutally heavy, and bursting with engagingly twisted, hook-filled instrumentation, Dysthymia is a helluva debut, and one Harvested should be proud of. As poetically as I have waxed, I still believe there’s room for Harvested to grow. God help those who might lay their ears on a sophomore effort from this line-up, should they remain intact. Rest assured, I’ll definitely be watching and waiting. For now, however, I wholeheartedly recommend you spend some long-lasting, quality time with Dysthymia.
