As Deb Lays Dying

I guess I'm just a poser...smh my head.

I asked this a while ago on r/metalcore and everybody just said it refers to bands that use backing tracks live from a laptop, but I keep hearing people refer to Alpha Wolf, Diamond Construct, and a bunch of other Australian bands and they don’t seem to embody that. I even heard Loathe referred to as a laptop metalcore band. Sorry I know this is not meant to be a serious sub but pls one of u fuckers explain what the double meaning of this term is . Is it cause they use amp sims or something? Help me out

I JUST SAW WICKED WITH MY YOUTH PASTOR AND EVEN THOUGH HE TOLD ME AFTERWARDS THAT THE THEME WAS SATANIC AND HE SHOULDNT HAVE BROUGHT ME, I CANT GET THE MUSIC OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!

WHY HAVE THESE SONGS NEVER BEEN ON PUNK GOES POP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it because Fearless Records thought they were too Satanic?

What’s their problem with metal screamo music?

Our new single POLARIZED(echo crypt) will premiere on Beef O Bradys radio this friday

I worked as a hotel maintenance guy for years. It’s not a glamorous job and it’s crazy how many years I let go by on autopilot. I was super depressed, and that depression grew every day.

The hotel I worked at was an upscale place in Chicago. We often had some famous people staying there, especially bands as we are near the United Center, Wrigley Field, etc.

One September night in 2023, I was feeling super depressed (dead end job, long and dark Chicago winter's coming) when I got called to one of the nice suites. There was an issue with the heater. I go up and who answers the door but Noah fricken Sebastian! He explains to me that his heater had just slowed significantly and it was getting cold. He was super nice and was getting ready to leave for that nights show at the Salt Shed. (Man they were really blowing up on Tiktok at the time)

So he’s in the shower/bathroom getting ready while I do my thing fixing the heater. While I’m down on my knees checking out the heater I notice something on the floor.... a toenail! I looked up at the table and on it is a toenail clippers he must have just been using. This toenail was the biggest toenail I’d ever seen, and tbh it was kind of gnarly. I quickly picked it up and looked around, I found a few more whole nails and a couple of shards. All in all I found 10 shards of nails that I believe to be his (we pretty thoroughly vacuum the suite every day). I kept them and finished my job and got out of there.

When I got home, I just sat there looking at his toe nails on my table. For the longest time I just sat there staring at them. I would roll them in my fingers, and I just couldn’t get over the fact that I (possibly) had parts of Noah Sebastian in my hand!!

After awhile I started thinking more depressing thoughts again about my job. I then thought to myself; Noah has it all. He has fame, fortune, and he’s very nice in person. You know, getting down on myself about the success of others.

I then looked at this gnarled toenail I was springing up and down between my fingers and realized: Noah. Sebastian. Is. Just. A. Man. Like. Me.

He worked to get to where he is. He goes and gets what he wants. Fame? He crafted his story. Money? He did what he loved and held out to get paid his fair share. He loves what he does and he loves his life....and yet he has to sit down.... every month.... just like me.... and clip his toenails.

For some reason it has always stuck with me. It’s kind of like realizing the president has to put his pants on in the mornings too or the Pope has to wipe himself clean in the bathroom just like you and me. We are all just people.

In the coming months I saved my money and started weaning myself off of my job I don’t like. Recently I quit and I am now following my dream: Redditing. All thanks to Noah and (possibly) his toenails.

I do feel, however, that I would like to get it officially verified that these are his toenails. What are the best ways (or companies) around to verify that things like signed CDs, vinyl, merch, toenails, etc... are genuine?
