Hell yes! Keep us posted when/if you get some songs online! Been on a bit of a death metal trip myself lately. Okay, mostly just Morbid Angel!

Will do! Been working through the Relapse back catalog myself, was surprised to find Merzbow (ok maybe shouldnāt be surprised) and Dillinger Escape Plan with releases on there too.

For me the first couple of Dillinger albums (canāt really stand āāmath coreāā otherwise) were kinda the epitome of Relapse around 2000. Although I gotta say I didnāt follow Relapse as religiously as some other labels. Bless Relapse for the early Amorphis albums tho! (Even though they ripped the band off pretty royally if Iām not mistaken. May also have been just a standard way of doing business with young, inexperienced bands, especially back in the 90s.)

Thereās so much good stuff on that label. Iām no expert either, but itās filled with class nuggets that Iāve not heard before:

Check out their original run, personally I think that that comeback album is very mediocre
Relapse is a great label, theyāve released multiple classics from all of the genres I really like: sludge metal, grindcore, death metal and noise rock. Even shoegaze with Nothing & True Widow. Oh and all those Merzbow reissues, too

Yeah thereās loads more to Relapse than I had realised, picking albums at random is good fun.
Itās going to take quite a long time to browse it all!
theyāre honestly one of my favourite labels, hereās a few favourites off the top of my head:
dead world - collusion & the machine (industrial metal, main dude later formed power electronics project deathpile)
nightstick - blotter (noise rock / sludge)
today is the day - temple of the morning star (noise rock)
soilent green - sewn mouth secrets (grindcore / sludge)
zombi - surface to air (goblin-esque synth prog)
unsane - visqueen (the best noise rock album)
unearthly trance - stalking the ghost (sludge metal)
and thereās like dozens of good albums to recommend after those.

Serge TKB. had my eye out for one ever since I got the Serge system. one popped up locally for a great price so I couldnāt resist. VERY fun sequencer/interactive touch interface. different than working with other sequencers, and an excellent way of interacting with the Serge.

All that, and Cave In just signed to Relapse for their new album and reissues of their whole back catalogue (except Antenna, because Sonyā¦) \0/
Also those first couple of Mastodon, DEP & Burnt By The Sun recordsā¦ Late 90s early 00s Relapse was killer

haha! yeah I was pretty surprised too actually. this is the Cleveland area. so not quite as remoteā¦ dude is actually selling off like ten Serge (or Serge-like) panels and a bunch of Ciat Lonbarde stuff. and I wish I could justify buying more, of course

Indonesian Angklung. Not a purchase- they were donated to a drum circle I partake in and I was interested enough to end up with these three.
Intention: bring beautiful pitched percussive tones wherever I go and record some for ambient bliss
