So, this may sounds completely selfish.
It feels at time no matter how much effort I put into creating music and art it goes unnoticed. The reality is I dont have an interest in being on social media and despise what it has done to music industry. It feels like if you dont dance to some silly song and make a video about it your content/art just gets pushed to the side, not necessary by people but by not been given the same opportunities of exposure.

Ive tried and had multiple side projects that just does not seem worth the time and effort to continue because the above mentioned, I know it sounds pissy but at what point do you just give up you know?

Having to work a full time job then to dedicate time and effort to your craft without much to show for it.. well it sucks and to the point above someone just doing a silly dance would have a much much higher success rate haha.

I get life is unfair and I have had well over my share in life's tragedy's and I am sure most of you has had.
Just feels like I am not getting anywhere when it comes to what I am truly passionate about.

Dont get me wrong I love making music and will never stop doing it regardless of the outcome but sometimes it just gets hard to continue.

Anyway just needed to get some shit of my chest.
If there is someone going through the same motions, you are not alone.

Hey guys, I'm Moth from Mourning Angel. Maybe you haven't heard anything about my solo project yet which is okay I'm not really big. I saw some people mention and recommend my band here and I want to say thank you. I'd be glad if you checked my music out because I'm releasing a new album in few weeks. Thank you

What are people’s thoughts on An Autumn for Crippled Children? I know this band isn’t really DSBM but I thought it would be a good place to discuss them.

I'll probably get shit or something but I'd like to find something that fits my current mental state. Ive barely scratched the surface of BM in general but idk the best artists that represent this subgenre. I'm also stuck creatively as a musician and would like something fresh I know nothing about as inspiration.

If I could get some recs that are solid representatives of DSBM Id really appreciate it.

I noticed mostly because of bands like (decalius and blade and bath) a lot of young people 13-15 are starting to make their own music relating to the genre and I would like to know if there’s any older artist who can give some advice to them lol

Im currently looking for altar cloth(s?), signed items, hoodies, ceremonial robes, and more rare misc items. I don't want bootleg items. If you have any offers, please let me know. :)

Yes, I have viewed tshirtslayer. I'm just expanding my search.

I absolutely love Kjiel from Angor Animi! She also seen in Eyelessight, Lifeless, Notturno and Sacrimoon

These are all the bands featured in my DSBM Vibes Spotify playlist. Not all DSBM but all bands fit the vibe imo.

Does anyone have any good recommendations/tips on how to achieve the wailing sound so many dsbm bands use?

Stuff like what jan does in trist, or some of malefic shrieks on xasthurs earlier stuff or the vocals in bands like worthless life

I've been doing metal vocals for about two and a half years now, and I'm pretty sure I've got the basic foundations correct. However, I haven't been able to achieve the wailing shriek just yet.

Any tips or guides are appreciated

I’ve yet to find any dsbm like Xasthur so I’m just curious

Use these up E have way too many ov them. Free records from Mørk Verden and La Mort! All recorded mixed and mastered at Upside Records

I want to listen to something, would like to know your recommendations

There's this one song that I've heard literally like 2 times but I've never found it again after my uncle played it for me a while back, from what i remember, the beginning started with like a woman sobbing and it was like they were in like a bathroom or somewhere that had reverb?? If anyone knows this song pls lmk

I heavily enjoy lifelover, këkht aräkh too 🫡
