Heads up if you are having trouble seeing the chats...

Hey everyone, I've been annoyed all week because I can't see the chat boxes, they aren't loading for me and I've figured out that it is my VPN (NordVPN for me). I've tried making website exceptions for my site and for the chat box site, but that doesn't seem to work. I have also switched from TCP to UDP, and vice versa, but no luck. If you are having the same issue, I guess you can try these fixes, and if something works, please let me and everyone else know. Or, maybe I am the only one having this issue. I just wanted to mention this in case other people were seeing this too and thought the chats were dead. You could always exclude your entire browser from the VPN but that would defeat the purpose. Sorry guys

 If nothing is working for you and you are desperate to use/see the chats, 
here are direct links to them. Although they might be blocked for you as well

RIP Bo Leuders (Harms Way, Hardlore Podcast)

First of all, sorry for the lack of posts lately, work has been crushing my soul. But I wanted to mention this even though it has been heavily publicized. Bo Leuders, founding member of Harms Way and the excellent Hardlore podcast, passed away last week. His death has been attributed to suicide. I am not the world's biggest Harm Way fan, but I know a lot of people are, so I wanted to mention this. If you want more info, just google it, there are a million articles covering it. Be safe out there. 

RIP GosT

God dammit, I love this fucking band. Out of all the thousands of synthwave artists now out there, GosT (IG / FB) always ends up being my favorite. Super aggressive, super metal, and easily (in my opinion) the hardest darkwave thing out there. Anyway, James Lollar, the founding multi-instrumentalist and producer behind GosT, has died at the age of 46, his management team has confirmed. GosT had been around since 2013 with over a dozen releases. I'm just gonna post a few below that I like, but if you are into this stuff at all (I'm sure a lot of you aren't LOL), check out their Bandcamp. Here is GosT's official statement on this:

Daggers - El Mundo Kaput

Instagram - Facebook - Bandcamp - Spotify

I love Daggers. They are another band that has been with this blog since the beginning. Imagine if Motorhead was more hardcore punk and you've got Daggers (this is a good thing). They are from Liège, Belgium and have been playing garage-tinged hardcore punk infused with psychedelic rock n' roll noise since 2008. El Mundo Kaput came out April 1, 2026 with three tracks of raw, frantic energy. Live recorded at Jetson Studio, the band delivers nearly 10 minutes of chaotic, riff-heavy punk aggression. Released on Shield Recordings as limited 7" in orange and black variants, 300 copies total. Artwork by Thierry Tönnes capturing the band's unhinged approach.
