Cedarvale - Deprivation

Bones like bricks. I’m feeling the crushing weight of my age. The years move faster but the days drag on and on.

You guys have any recommendations that sound like this?

https://youtu.be/i-CLES1Ns9o?si=SBhyIsr8rebFXGBF

This album front to back is perfect. Sadly the screamer left and they stopped being as good as this. Anyone have any recommendations that sound pretty similar to this? I’ve looked over the recommendation list that someone posted 8 years ago. Didn’t find anything like this. Thanks in advance guys!

Heavy shoegaze/Deftones inspired bands?

Not really sure what genre this music is, I'm sure it's like a heavier shoegaze/Deftones inspired, but does anyone know any current bands that is similar to these songs?

Paleskin is a new band that's Ive discovered that is the exact type of music I'm after. That instant heavy, Deftones sort of vibe.

Paleskin - Absence of you

Paleskin - Love me slow

Darko US - Donna

Darko US - Come Home

Dealer - You in frame

Dealer - Pearl

Loathe - Is it really you?

Looking for band mates in Paris

A bit of a hail Mary, but if anyone is into Melodic HxC in Paris, and wants to join a band, this is a message for you !!

For a couple years I (25M) have been working on a melodic hxc project with a few band mates (currently a 2nd guitarist and a drummer).
We’re currently looking for a vocalist and a bassist to complete our line up!

We’ve already got 4 démos 90% ready and space at a studio to practice in the center of Paris (in the Marais).

Our inspirations are: One Step Closer, Koyo, Anxious, Citizen, The Story So Far

Does anyone know this song?

Hello everyone, I have an unusual story. In the early 2000s, I downloaded this song through the peer-to-peer app Kaaza (who remembers?). I downloaded an mp3 that was supposedly by a Brazilian band, but this one arrived. And ever since then I have had this mysterious song. Today I transcribed the lyrics using an AI website. Here are the lyrics.Does anyone know this song? https://soundcloud.com/guilherme-giovanini-326336362

Tiny coins and flashing lights. Shut down stars on sleepless nights. Letters only go so far as wishes. Breaking bones on holidays. The train tracks only. Pass the waves. See the fires. Pulling out my lashes. And every 71 minutes in the afternoon. The clock face has a bird. The next wish is around the same. I know the letters I would never write. How can I sleep when your silence is screaming at me? Wishing we would never fly. How can I sleep when I know your tears are saving me. Drop my pen to save one thing. You know the reasons why I sing. The words can dance like nobody is What did I buy? How much I'm missing. You forgotten every awkward room. I call it being played by you. You're upset because the harvest is weak. The crops are dying. No one's sorry, but I'm stuck in my teeth. Take this as my way of saying sorry for the manners. I would never ride. How can I sleep when your silence is screaming at me. Wishing we would never fight? How can I sleep when I know your tears are streaming at the end? Held under the banners I would never rise. Can I sleep when your silence is screaming at me. Wishing we would never rise. Can I sleep when I know your kids are sitting at this table?
