INTRO POSTT
☆ WELCOME TO MY LITTLE YAP CORNER☆
My name is Tristan, I'm a metalhead and this is a space for me to yap about music (largely metal) I will post things like album reviews, general thoughts, and just anything to do with music or anything IRL like shows I've gone to, D.I.Y or things I buy.
Here I welcome anyone within the alt Pipeline; metalheads, goths, emos, punks etc. no matter your status, whether you're just a newbie or veteran, as long as you actually understand the key components and philosophy of your sub culture and aren't just an asshole in general.
FEEL FREE TO SEND ME BAND/ALBUM RECS THROUGH MY ASKS!! ALSO FEEL FREE TO ADD ME ON AIRBUDS: https://i.airbuds.fm/michaeljaxon/WwP6HNjFcH
My journey with music (you can skip this its mostly just needless yapping):
I've been listening to metal since i was young, my father being a large influence for me in the early stage of developing my music taste. I didn't actually listen to music until later. I went through that "posercore" nu metal phase that a lot of new metalheads go through as that's what i grew up around (courtesy of my dad). I listened to a lot of Korn, slipknot and other bands (still do occasionally). Then i went to good things 2024 to see Korn and many other bands. after this i started to branch out further, over the next short while i sunk deeper into the metal subculture, getting into bands like TOOL, Mastodon, Opeth, Cancer Bats, Paleface Swiss and Battlesnake. my dad recommended me bands like 8 Foot Sativa and Behemoth. Then at the end of 2025 I saw TOOL live, i got vip tickets and that was without a doubt, the best night of my life, although i wouldn't consider them metal, TOOL is 100% my favorite band and i have no shame in saying that. In 2026 I found the album "Internal torment" by Cryptic Hatred in my Spotify recommendations, this old school death metal album re-ignited my love for the heavy side of metal and i went back into the rabbit hole and started reaching into old school death metal, slam metal, brutal death metal.
My favorites:
Bands: Cryptic Hatred, TOOL, Abraded, 8 Foot Sativa, Bullet For My Valentine, Inferi, Sisters Of Suffocation, Guts
Sub-genres: BDM, Slam, OSDM, MDM
Albums: Internal torment (Cryptic Hatred), Vile Genesis (Inferni), season for assult (8 foot sativa), Ænima Lateralus and 10,000 days (TOOL), and honestly way more but i cant just name every album i like.
Quick note:
all posts about reviews, sharing my opinions or anything of the sort are MY PERSONAL OPPINIONS, if at any point I say I don't like something that doesn't mean I'm going to attack you for being into it, ex: I'm not a big fan of most deathcore however I'm not going to bash you for liking it, thank you and i hope we can both respect that ♡
