Happiness and Misadventures

Music Roundup - May 2026

This month the #ListenBrainz stats are not up to date yet. I recently discovered some black metal from the ’80s and spent the last few days listening to it. I especially appreciated To Mega Therion. Wow!

I also found a very interesting label(?) of Italian artists: New Udine Hardcore. You can stream their full catalog both on their independent platform and BandCamp. I particularly love Fool Front’s textual adventure to promote their EP! In general the band’s style I appreciate most is Cataclasite’s. Instrumental doom, sometimes repetitive but really atmospheric.

There have been a couple of days with some fallbacks to Alice in Chains, Muse and Faith No More, but it’s been mostly dedicated to discovery 🗺️
