| ARTIST | TRACK | PHASE | COMMENT |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opeth |
Windowpane
|
May 2026 | currently deep in a full Opeth binge — Damnation on repeat, everything from Orchid to Pale Communion. recently discovered them and they're all i've been listening to for weeks. |
| Aymantium |
Under the Spell of Life
|
Nov 2025 — present | made this track during a period where everything felt cinematic. current obsession on last.fm. still not tired of it. |
| Aymantium |
Now Art Defines All
|
May — Nov 2025 | obsession #1 on last.fm. recorded in a single night. this one defined my whole spring. |
| Buckethead |
Soothsayer
|
2025 | 312 scrobbles — my #2 most listened artist. fell into a Buckethead wormhole that i'm still not out of. endless pikes, endless riffs. |
| Porcupine Tree |
Trains
|
2025 | 107 scrobbles. Steven Wilson's songwriting got its hooks in me hard. In Absentia is one of those albums you wish you could hear for the first time again. |
| Squarepusher |
Come On My Selector
|
2024 — 2025 | 112 scrobbles. the bass playing is inhuman. Chris Cunningham video is burned into my brain. made me want to make weird electronic music. |
| Dissection |
No Dreams Breed In Breathless Sleep
|
2025 | 86 scrobbles. Storm of the Light's Bane is perfect front to back. melodic black metal at its absolute peak. |
| Aphex Twin |
Xtal
|
2024 — 2025 | 79 scrobbles. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is timeless. this track specifically — that beat, those samples. whole IDM rabbit hole started here. |
| Venetian Snares |
Szamár Madár
|
2024 | 78 scrobbles. Rossz Csillag Alatt Született is a masterpiece. classical samples + breakcore shouldn't work this well. |
| Emerson, Lake & Palmer |
Lucky Man
|
2025 | 92 scrobbles. went through a massive prog phase. Greg Lake's voice and that Moog solo — pure magic. |
| The Microphones |
The Moon
|
2025 | 87 scrobbles. The Glow Pt. 2 is devastating. this song in particular — the most beautiful lo-fi heartbreak ever recorded. |
| System of a Down |
Toxicity
|
2024 — 2025 | 85 scrobbles. nostalgia + rediscovery. Toxicity is still one of the most unhinged and brilliant metal albums ever made. |
| Midnight |
Nuclear Savior
|
2025 — 2026 | top track on last.fm is "You Can't Stop Steel." filthy blackened speed metal that makes you want to start a fight. Athenar is a menace. |
| Electric Wizard |
Funeralopolis
|
2025 | Dopethrone is THE doom metal album. this riff hits like a sledgehammer. loved track on last.fm for a reason. |
| Darkthrone |
Transilvanian Hunger
|
2025 | the purest black metal ever recorded. that drum machine, that riff, those vocals. loved this track and listened to the whole album on repeat. |
| Falkenbach |
Eweroun
|
2025 | 68 scrobbles. pagan metal that actually feels ancient. Eweroun is an anthem. made me want to pick up a sword and wander into a forest. |
