gonna start this off with a general internet disclaimer: rap beef isn't for only Black people to understand or engage with, also Black people can absolutely be disinterested in rap beef, your interests (or lack of interest in something) do not define your validity, nor do they alter your race.

anyway, I just saw someone describe cohost as a place that's "a step removed" from caring about the Kendrick vs. Drake beef "directly" and claims people here are "kinda sick of hearing about it" while also claiming not to know what's going on

like first of all they're wrong* so let's start there and second of all that was a lot of words for someone to say "me and my other racist friends in the super-white feed I curated don't like that people are talking about Black culture"

*if this racist can self-select based on their feed, so can I

This is NOT about whether you know or don't know what's going on, it's about how you CHOOSE to talk about it and what that says about you, the people you CHOOSE to have in your circle, and how they CHOOSE to react to things they don't understand

this sort of stuff sucks in the same way that everyone going "hurr hurr hurr sportsball lmao" every year during a championship tournament sucks, except it's also racist!

here's a tip: if the reason people caring about a thing is bad hinges solely on the fact that you don't like it and you think it's bad for society to care about something you just personally do not like - and there is no greater harm - you are just a self-centered asshole

sincerely, a recovering self-centered asshole

greetings and good morning, all. today is Bandcamp Friday! so here's some news for you.

I.
last April, i released "Seasons of Crippling Frost", my latest in a full series of black metal EPs centered around the seasons. like all of my music, it's free to download.

II.
today, i have released "2023", a compilation/remaster of the first three Noctoran records, "Thy Curses We Bear Eternal", "Wounds Throughout Time", and "The Clouded Peak of Null Space". i gave each track a (quick) second pass on production in order to unify the material a little more, so in some way you could consider it a new angle on old music!
as i couldn't figure out how to have this release be private and still sell tapes for it (which is the primary reason i assembled this compilation), i've released it on both noctoran.bandcamp.com and tronmaximum.bandcamp.com.

note that each of these three releases have also been individually updated on Bandcamp. if you bought any of the first three records (or downloaded them for free), you can nab the updated 2024 mix at your leisure.

speaking of tapes -- tapes are now available for both "2023" and "Seasons of Crippling Frost"! US only for now until i figure out international shipping, please. each tape (and CDs coming) is DIY crafted with hand-cut paper inserts, hand-printed labels, and in some cases, a little bit of extra personality (the fun way we like to say "some little cracks and scratches in places, perhaps, but not guaranteed).

merch will be released in limited quantities in order to manage scope of production. if you end up discovering a tape or CD you want is sold out, just keep an eye on my cohost feed as i'll announce every time i drop new merch or refill previous merch.

III.
i am playing two shows in the upcoming two months! i will make formal show announcements on cohost later today with flyers. set your dates for May 17th and June 23rd! may have shirts, may have more CDs and tapes.

that's all for now. thanks for all the support, thanks for listening and sharing. extra thanks if you end up buying something today.
