Did KL and MIW plan Slaughterhouse 1 & 2 together?

Just a general curiosity post. Do bands usually plan things like this together? If either band has talked about it I'd love to know!

Thanks ily all <3

Are you interested in videos documenting the process of songwriting?

With the rise of AI use in art (and everything else), something I've been thinking about as an amateur writer, poet, songwriter, and composer is that the human connection is going to become a more important aspect of the relationship between artist and consumer, perhaps even more important than the actual consumption of art itself. I've taken to watching videos of painters showing the process of how they create art, and 3D designers creating their designs. As of yet, I don't have one for music - certainly not metalcore.

So what I've thought about doing is documenting the process of me going about recording a metalcore album and my other related songs and projects and just chucking it on YouTube. Not glossing over or sugarcoating anything - just an authentic glimpse into how it all comes together from conception to the finished product. Also, I'm not a professional and I don't have any studio equipment or a lot of funding - I'm just a regular-ass guy doing everything in my bedroom with what I can afford or get my hands on.

Is anyone interested in that kind of thing? If so, is there anything you would like to see or anything you'd expect from such a vlog? I'd love to hear any thoughts about it.

Make Them Suffer(MTS)

Ive been looping MTS by MTS for a couple of weeks now; I was wondering why this album was not well received? Is it because the standard was so high this year? Or bcs the main bangers were released months before the record?

In any case, I think the lyrics are fkn phenomenal. Not too cryptic, eerily relatable, yet also up to interpretation.

Maybe its because this genre doesn’t lend itself well to phonetics.

Any thoughts?

4 weeks of Metalcore

I was just looking at some album release dates and realized that we got 4 weeks straight of 4 upcoming metalcore albums. We got Antifragile by All That Remains yesterday which I thought was awesome. February 7th we get Duél by Jinjer the 14th we get NINE by Bleeding Through and the 21st we get This Consequence by Killswitch Engage.

Now I’m more of an early 2000s metalcore guy so comment if there’s anymore I’m missing.
