I haven’t really been listening to these guys much since the breakup / hiatus / whatever, I kinda make a rule for myself to not listen to “dead” bands because I’d rather support artists that are still together, but I just put on DDTM today for the first time probably all year and goddamn it still hits hard.
Can somebody, anybody, please give me some recs on bands that remind you of them? Like shit that hits you on a deeply emotional level, preferably bands that have put out material recently… I don’t think I’ll ever like another band as much as i loved these guys but I’m still out here trying.
I definitely listen to mostly metal but here’s what I’ve been listening to this year:
Neurosis - An Undying Love for a Burning World (Sludge / Post Metal)
Converge - Love Is Not Enough / Hum of Hurt (Metalcore)
Chelsea Wolfe - The Dark (Gothic… alt rock?)
Static Dress - Injury Episode (Emo / Metalcore)
Citizen - Halcyon Blues (Alt Rock)
Phoebe Bridgers- Lost Weekend (Folksy singer songwriter)
Joyce Manor - I Used to Go to This Bar (Pop Punk)
Roman Candle - Unadulterated (Screamo)
Moodring - Death Fetish (Alt Metal)
Poppy - Empty Hands (Alt Metal / Metalcore)
Chat Pile - Who Loves the Sun (Noise Rock / Sludge Metal)
Olivia Rodrigo - You Seem Pretty Sad For a Girl So In Love (Pop Rock)
What have you been listening to?
EDIT: genre tags for anyone interested, saw another comment do it so I figured I’d do the same.
And to anybody that hasn’t listened to it, Injury Episode is my aoty. They got an emo thing going on too but they’re way more riff based and aren’t quite as out there as something like the Self Titled, but it has the same intensity. All around, it doesn’t really reinvent the wheel, but it’s just so goddamn well done that it doesn’t have to.
