MODERATORS
Work: Self-employed software developer, currently designing veterinary shop microservices. Still haven't decided if I will use Java(spring) or Python(django-rest), (or none?) Insights will be highly appreciated ( Ν‘Β° ΝΚ Ν‘Β°)
Music: EDM, Robert miles ~ children . This song reminds me how we moved around a lot when i was 3-4 yo. (My father was a civil contractor on different companies, states apart) Finally, a song that sums up the confusions I had.
Tidbit: People highly underestimate their hearing capabilities. I mean, We're not dogs, but our ears collect more information than we ever asked for. All you have to do is LISTEN.
Best Meal: My mom's. And yes, I know I might be highly biased on this. I've tried pizzahut, KFC, and every premium buffet out here. But naaah. My mom hosts catering services, BTW.
Best place: to date? High school where I was studying. It's at the foot of Mt meru, at the gates of Arusha national park. Almost every day, we wake up to the sound of zebras and giraffes grazing high trees, takes all the stress away.
Man. That HS experience. I would give a kidney to see Africa like that
Lol, you should have seen us the day buffalo herd grazed 50m away from school fence bruv, absolutely no one got out of the hostels (of which, as a high schooler, jumping and hanging all day in the rooms). One of the guards almost got horned.
Still, I wouldn't trade anything on this earth with this experience. I'm highly thankful π
Edit: To be frank, I was busy chasing my crush, who was also chasing her crush, who was my homie, whom we played GTA san Andreas together. (a stupid triangle π«). Every time I got a chance to look out the window on my hostel and see these graceful creatures, it reminded me how lucky I was.
Those things do not fuck around
Not as much of a metal head as I used to be, but these recent albums made me feel some of the magic of it again:
- Civerous - Maze Envy
- Anti-God Hand - Blight Year
Have you listened to any Brothers of Metal?
Nope. That's a new name to me. Where should I start?
2 albums, so start with the first one, named Brothers of Metal. Emblas Saga picks up from there.
They're very fun Norse themed songs.
They recently toured with gloryhammer and beast in black... And I wish I'd seen it live :β -β D
Highly recommend IGNEA if you like melodic metal. A few faves:

Disenchantment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnV9vpEit6E
Mermaids https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU9WFEwsQQw
But gosh their stuff is just all awesome.
Here's some music from one of my favourite bands :)
https://open.spotify.com/album/1B12ldQwBhDeS0gIcUg0ux?si=Bf9GHetQSQGup-A50OzRTQ
Arron Nordstrom from Gemini Syndrome and I could pass as brothers, and not just because we are both albinos. We both look a lot alike, even though I probably have 80 lbs on him.
I want to be a programmer by day and animator by night. I am nowhere near achieving that goal but everyday I am getting closer.
Music: Ritual Genocide by Ritual Genocide
Usless tid bit: I have 9th pair of teeth in my upper jaw.
Best meal: NaleΕnik with pears by two lovely ukrainian ladies from a food truck
Best place: An overnight camping with hammocks in a medieval castle.
Metal
One of my all time favorite bands/albums/songs https://youtu.be/m0xgh6VfpbQ?si=nuAfWdbpD3E0eEQX
If you like these guys check out Black Breath
What types of metal do you like? I can try to aim if I have an idea of what you're into.
If I'm going just for an out of the blue rec, maybe try Emptiness - Not For Music if you're not already familiar. Belgian black/death band having turned toward the avant garde have left nearly every indication of their more extreme roots on this album, and it's fantastic. All the tracks are great but if you're looking for the "single" maybe try the track Ever.
This is right up my alley; it's going on my collaborative playlist called 'forks in a blender' which is just me and my bud making a playlist.
I really, really like Vvilderness. Huge fan. Also like panopticon, Unreqvited, Witchcraft, Nordic Winter, Skrm (I think?) Elderwind. Psychedelic Witchcraft and Blood Ceremony are up there too.
Ok, I can work with that. If you are a Panopticon fan you may already be familiar with this, but if not it's worth a listen: Eneferens. A little more toward the VVilderness vibe, but essentially purely folk, check out Ekstasis. And to go with the psych vibe, if you haven't heard Hexvessel - Dawnbearer then give that a spin and thank me later.
God, how have I not heard any of these metal bands in this thread? I listen to metal every day, most of the day. Such a huge genre.
I'm going add these to the list.
Holy shit I'm in love with Eneferens and I listened to about 40 seconds. Thanks. Checking out the others .
They do a Kettering cover? Fucking wow
All of this. All of it goes into my and my friends joint playlist (forks in blender)
