If you're looking for an energetic, grungy EP and have a few minutes to spare, I strongly suggest checking out MKULTRA's "THE SHAPE OF EVERYTHING AND NOTHING TO COME"! I enjoy when this artist releases new music, as i find his experimental stuff extremely impressive. This EP has a 3/4 tracklist for me personally, as i'm not the hugest fan of "VOMIT SHIT", but the other 3 songs make up for that. I'd probably rate this EP a 8/10 as a whole, as its not my favorite release from this creator, but overall is a pretty solid one.
BE HUMAN: "BE HUMAN" is a very grungy song with heavy guitar usage. the lyrics seem to be critisizing our survellience state we live in, but also seems to be referencing AI in the chorus, as well as the usual conspirital wordsmithing that comes from an MKULTRA song.
VOMIT SHIT:dont really like the sound of this one, maybe too grungy, definetly have to be in a certain mood to actually listen to it. can't decern the meaning through lyrics, i'm assuming critisizing over-consumption? idk i'll come back and see if i can't get a meaning eventually, but for now, this is the weak one for me personally.
ZEN FLESH ZEN BONES:"ZEN FLESH ZEN BONES" sounds very remenicent of a Fred Durst song or something you would usually find in nu metal, very enjoyable. the lyrics seem to be alluding to religion, maybe a relationship closer to obsession is an alternate read. I mostly like the song for its sound and chorus.
TOXIC: britney spears "toxic" reimagined as a metal song, tale as old as time. don't have much to say about this one other than i think i prefer this one to the original lol.
aaaand those are my thoughts on this EP! if you like grunge, punk, or nu metal, i think you'll like this one, and be sure to check out the rest of this guys work! i'm quite the fan of everything out so far. I hope to be able to share my music taste with anyone curious, so thank you for reading!

hello everyone, i have been gone for awhile. i wiped the old blogs because i feel like i was being a bit too vurnable and also clearly in crisis. im considering changing the vision of this page a bit, occasional blog posts, but i'm thinking of reviewing music i like since i'm never sure where to put my rambling about that stuff.
this will just be a normal blog post for now since i haven't done this for awhile. so hello again, i've been doing better lately. i'll soon be taking a break i think from being as online after artfight since i'm now employed and need to just focus on that instead of chasing numbers. plus i think i'd like to go back to making music again soon, i've grinded so hard on my artskills that i've kinda hit a ceiling. need to branch out and grind on other things i used to do. made a little jingle the other day and it made me rethink quitting the whole music thing, but time will tell if i stick to it. i know i have backlogs of written song material ready to go, just fear of actually making something i guess.
anyway, just a shortish and sweetish entry today. hope you all are doing well.
