Cellular Death!!!

 

This album is really one of my recent stalwarts. I've come to love every song, but it's an intense journey and often, I don't make it all the way to the final song. The last two days I've really had to knuckle down on the physical side of work, and using this record really helps me conquer exhaustion. When I hit "Apoptosis" this morning, it felt like a revelation, so I wanted to share it here.

NCBD:

Jeff Lemire's Mazebook has really become one of the main books I look forward to. Pretty cool, considering I almost skipped it altogether. 

I guess I jumped the gun on Venom #1 last week. Or it was delayed? I'm not sure. Either way, I'm still not going to be lucky enough to snag this variant, but with a gazillion covers to choose from, I'm sure I'll find something good.

I know nothing about What's The Furthest Place From Here except the pedigree of the creators. That's enough to have me pretty freakin' excited.

Watch:

It's looking like come November 19th there is going to be a serious lag on Netflix. First Cowboy Bebop premieres, now a new Horror tv show from Train to Busan creator Yeon Sang-ho:

This trailer runs the gamut from what looks like a home invasion thriller to a fight scene with creatures that look like they'd be right at home in a Marvel movie. Cowboy Bebop takes precedence, but I'm pretty curious about this one.

Now, all we have to do is catch up and watch Midnight Mass, Doom Patrol Seasons 2 and 3, Squid Games, Castle Rock 1 and 2 (finally!), plus have a  full Stranger Things rewatch, before.... oh fuck it. This one will end up on the list.

Card:

I'm not entirely sure how to interpret this at the moment, so we'll just have to see. 

Allegaeon

Anthony from The Horror Vision tipped me off to Allegaeon's music last week, and although I'd dabbled with it a bit over the last few days - enough to be absolutely staggered by their musicianship - Wednesday while playing them for a friend was the first time I realized how much these guys remind me of, A) Revocation, and B) Rust in Peace-era Megadeth. So far, I've only listened to this year's Apoptosis, but I definitely intend on working my way back through their discography. The music is insanely technical, while never feeling overly showy or contrived.

Card of the day:

Interesting pull, as yesterday's writing session revealed to me the fact that at least one set of characters has a brand new journey to complete before the end of the book.
