Modder / CCHHRRIISSTTOODD / Afgrond
Resistor Leiden, Saturday, February 28 at 09:00 PM GMT+1
Modder are returning to Resistor to present their new album "Destroying Ourselves For A Place In The Sun" with support coming by industrial hip-hop artist CCHHRRIISSTTOODD and Haarlem's post-sludgers Afgrond!
Modder (BE):
MODDER is a five-piece sludge & doom formation hailing from Ghent, Belgium. With riffs designed to make your neck break, supported by thundering basslines, grooving drums, industrialist samples and synths, they forge a unique sound in the sludge landscape.
With their third full length: 'Destroying Ourselves For A Place In The Sun’, (October 2025) Modder has once again pushed the boundaries for themselves.
Building upon the previous and widely praised album 'The Great Liberation Through Hearing', the new work is perhaps an even bigger statement.
And in doing so, the combination of 'Sludge' (and by extension all sorts of metal variants) with the even more refined electronic Psy elements comes awfully close to a perfect symbiosis!CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (BE):
CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (pronounced “Christ O.D.” with a stutter) is the solo project of Ghent-based tattoo-artist-turned-musician Berry Bleck. His distinctive beats provide a bed for eclectic lyrics covering topics ranging from his struggles with depression and apathy to dreamlike descriptions of drug-fueled psychedelic trips.
A multidisciplinary artist, Bleck meticulously curates the project’s aesthetic himself, incorporating pieces of his own artwork and distinct style into each release. Constantly shifting between two worlds — the physical and the fantasy — CCHHRRIISSTTOODD has proved to be an undoubtedly unique blend of industrial
hip-hop, rap, witch house, and even rave. Live, his shows incorporate even more of this duality than ever: he draws his energy from the crowd, his mood shifting from euphoria to downright fury, each word dripping with intent to deliver a convincing
performance.https://cchhrriissttoodd.bandcamp.com/
Afgrond (NL):
Vile and earthshaking Post-Sludge/Doom Metal from Haarlem. Originally formed as an instrumental three-piece in a former abbattoir, AFGROND really came together when their vocalist joined. Creating high volume, low tuned riffs combined with growling dutch vocals, the Haarlem based band released their debut album Verdronken Hemelen (Drowned Heavens) on 21 March 2025 via Geertruida Records. Inspired by the likes of Tesa, ISIS, Amenra, Ufomammut etc, AFGROND will guide you down into the abyss that awaits all.

#RaspberryPi #Pico knackt die #PS3
Die #PS3-Modding-Szene hält den Atem an: Ein Team um Modder Modyfiktor hat Custom-Firmware auf Playstation-3-Konsolen der Modelle Super Slim & Slim mit NOR-Flash zum Laufen gebracht. Das galt bisher als unmöglich. Und natürlich kam dabei Hardware zum Einsatz, die Makern gut bekannt ist.
Die #Modder haben einen #Raspberry_Pi_Pico mit RP2040 direkt an die Hauptplatine der Konsole angeschlossen.

I bought a new #ikea computer floor rollstand thingie the other day. It came with two height settings for a shelf above the computer. One too low for my computer and one too high for the lowest setting on my desk.
#Diy #maker #modder solution: Just drill some new holes midway between them!
But I should probably get a new drill. Ikeas drills complain when you use them and this one is all sticky from an old rubber coating 🤷♀️

Modder – Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun Review
By Grin Reaper
Blending sludge metal and electronica make for fascinating bedfellows, and that’s exactly what instrumental outfit Modder brings to the table with Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun. I don’t recall encountering this genre combo before, but the unlikely pairing fits together in compelling and novel ways. Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun is one part early Mastodon and one part The Prodigy, and it works better in practice than I’d ever expect it to on paper. Both styles embrace the bottom end, and in a live setting, I imagine Modder is unapologetically crushing. But it takes more than novelty to guarantee a grand time, so let’s dig in and see what goodies this Belgian quintet serves up.1
Though third outing Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun unites sludge and dance, it wasn’t always so, as Modder has evolved with each release. On their self-titled debut, Modder trod the well-worn doom path with low-end crunch and abundant fuzz, recalling Sleep and Electric Wizard. Sophomore album The Great Liberation Through Hearing injected quicker paces and subdued attitudes, delivering a rich variety of textures that plays like Inter Arma sans vocals. Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun continues the evolution of Modder’s sound, this time embracing dance-ready pulses and electronic trappings that occasionally approach Fear Factory’s Remanufacture (“Chaoism”). It’s a direction hinted at on The Great Liberation Through Hearing, but here Modder triumphs in fully fleshing it out.
On Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun, Modder succeeds in evoking an assortment of influences while maintaining the band’s distinct identity. From the Korn-fed intro of “Stone Eternal” to the Gojira-glazed grooves of “In the Sun,” the album packs a broad range of sounds into its forty-two minutes. Each one of the album’s six tracks brings unerringly heavy riffs. “Mather” begins with a Prodigy-induced flourish, then drops into a disgustingly dense lurch that shakes the room like a herd of mammoths tromping past. Guitars, bass, and electronics weave an intricate tapestry, with melodies and countermelodies coalescing into grooves thicker than a bowl of oatmeal (“Stone Eternal,” “Mutant Body Double”). The drumming flits and hammers, with actual and programmed drums enabling quick shifts between sludge and breakbeat (“Chaoism”). This five-piece flaunts chops, and they pack them into an easily digestible package.
Even if Modder’s latest is a barrel of fun, its imperfections hold it back from greener pastures. For starters, the mix is distractingly crowded. I suspect the goal was to create a concussive bombshell that rattles listeners to the core. While effective on that front, there are times when the sludgy crunch warps into over-compressed artifacts (“Stone Eternal,” “Mather”). This may be a challenge with the merger of styles, where the electronic elements don’t require the auditory depth needed to express the timbre of acoustic drums or bass. Instead, the music gets rammed through the aural equivalent of Fat Man’s Squeeze, coming out the other side flat and jarring. Another issue with Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun is immediacy. Both sludge and dance emanate a hypnotic sheen onto their styles, whether through towering, droning riffs or persistent electro-throbs. This makes great music for focusing on other tasks, but rarely did I stay engaged for an entire listen. If the goal is to surpass the novelty of instrumental electrosludge, something more is needed. As it is, Modder has strung together fun moments without enough cohesion. If you remove one of the songs or reorder them, the end result doesn’t change substantially, indicating that the whole is no greater than the sum of its parts.
Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun is a study in cross-genre pollination that bears fruit worth sampling, but won’t sustain you for long. I really like the idea of what Modder has concocted, but the album would have benefited from further refinement. A more dynamic mix would immediately boost listenability, and upping their songwriting game could help push their brand of electrosludge past the point of novelty and into territory with more active engagement and longevity. Modder oozes potential, but there’s ultimately not enough on Destroying Ourselves for a Place in the Sun to keep me coming back.

Small update to my recent #HideousDestructor weapon pack. A detonator is now required to actually detonate the new "grenades". These will spawn alongside them, almost all of the time. They can also be found in backpacks.

Recently decided to start working on creating my own #HideousDestructor weapon pack, and first on the list is a "grenade" you have to manually detonate. Still a bit of a work in progress, but not too bad for my first actual bit of content!

We're doing something a little different today, I've been thinking of doing some #ModDevelopment on stream for y'all, so maybe we'll start with that and switch over to some casual #HideousDestructor afterwards? Come stop by and see how some of the sauce is made, by some who's easily distracted and a bit of a perfectionist on today's #Sunday #Stream #Shenanigans!
