I have added emoji of pretty much every album cover I can think of, you should be able to add them as flairs in the new reddit, for old reddit I'm not sure if it would still show.

Amazing cellist, I love his work with Woods of Ypres

There were decisions I couldn't make, apologies. I also included a couple B-Sides as bonuses

Dance of December Souls: Tomb of Insomnia, Velvet Thorns (of Drynwhyl), Without God, Gateways of Bereavement, In Silence Enshrined

Brave Murder Day: This would imply that 1 song on this album is not good, and that is simply not true.

Discouraged Ones: (Quiet World), Deadhouse, I Break, Gone, Saw You Drown, Cold Ways

Tonight's Decision: I Am Nothing, For My Demons, Black Session, A Darkness Coming, Strained

Last Fair Deal Gone Down: I literally can't choose just 5

Viva Emptiness: Evidence, One Year from Now, Inside the City of Glass, Omerta, Burn the Remembrance

The Great Cold Distance: (Unfurl), Rusted, Soil's Song, In the White, Leaders, Journey Through Pressure

Night is the New Day: Onward into Battle, Idle Blood, Nephilim, Departer, Day and Then the Shade

Dead End Kings: The Racing Heart, Hypnone, Lethean, Undo You, Buildings

The Fall of Hearts: Passer, Residual, Serein, Serac, Takeover

City Burials: The Winter of Our Passing, Lacquer, City Glaciers, Heart Set to Divide, Vanishers

Sky Void of Stars: Impermanence, Austerity, Drab Moon, Birds, No Beacon to Illuminate Our Fall

Hexblade warlock multiclasses pretty well with other charisma-based classes, bard in particular works well with it, and if you can justify it backstory-wise (or if your DM is just cool with it) paladin with hexblade can be extremely broken.

Growing up I always thought she said "edificio malhecho" - as if she called him a "poorly built building"

But I love how just deeply poetically full of anger her lyrics are

I have a whole list of ideas I want to try, one big one though is a sea elf bard.

The idea for this character was inspired by every guide out there saying never play sea elf because it's bad and useless if you're not doing a strictly oceanic campaign - but then I thought what if that was their reason for adventuring? What if I had a sea elf who, for whatever reason, couldn't be near the sea? They long so greatly to return to the sea that all their songs are tinged with sorrow and yearning (which makes me want to possibly go College of Tragedy, but Glamour also feels appropriate). Of course, this would have to be worked out with the DM as to whether or not this would fit in the story/setting

Ooooooh, I've also been doing some Lunar things in dnd. My homebrew campaign has a good bit of inspiration from Lunar, and in one of my friend's campaigns I'm playing a monk inspired by Jean (one of my all-time favorite video game characters).

I also tried coming up with how to build each character in 5e and had some fun but also difficulty with some aspects (beastmen and especially half beastmen don't really seem to correspond exactly with anything I can find precisely, maybe Vulpin?). The most confident one I have is Ghaleon: Shadar-kai Oathbreaker paladin/hexblade warlock.

The new College of Dance bard seems to literally be exactly perfect for Jean I think - a monk-like dancing bard without the conflicting monk abilities and absolute MADness for multiclassing it with anything else.

I'm definitely interested in seeing what you come up with, I don't think I've really seen anyone try putting anything from Lunar in dnd.

I think it ultimately means drops of water, though in this song more specifically I think it means tears.

The same sorta motif appears in Austerity as well, where I take it to mean raindrops.

Violent rain

Outside looking out

Looking up

Fragments of sky

I sent this to my dnd group chat before our Christmas-themed one shot today, not thinking the DM would use it and he did lmao. It was really fun! In the end, our paladin revived her and convinced her to switch to Halloween music

Same, hoping to run my first session in the next couple weeks!

Extremely sorry for your loss, wishing the best for you all and his family 💙🖤

I mentioned not too long ago that this album came out right during my mom's last days, I can hardly describe how much this album helped in those times.

I noticed that a lot of people seemed to stop scrobbling around 2014/15 which coincides with the massive redesign of the site, so I think that is very often a big reason for the desertion. But yeah I won't lie I've seen some profiles that just randomly stopped like a year or two before and I wonder...

Curious on your thoughts on how Jonas's vocals developed over the years, epsecially the first albums where he mainly sings ("Discouraged Ones" and "Tonight's Decision")

Also really hope you enjoy their B-sides, there are some of their absolute best songs hidden there.

This album came out right when my mom was at the point of passing. When I listened to this song, it sounded like something she would've loved, so the song sorta reminds me of her in a way.

IIRC the original image was a stock image, I presume that the revised one is an attempt at making the image more original. That said, I do like both, sometimes I like one more than the other at different times

Woods 5 by Woods of Ypres I think often manages to capture this sound

Woods of Ypres' shoutbox is a very interesting read that catalogues a lot of their history (frontman David Gold himself was extremely active on it and would interact with users a lot), if you start reading from the earliest pages, and then it becomes very very sad when you get to December 2011, after his tragic accident.

Didn't Junichiro have a career in robotics? I could see him being easily able to afford a flight to the US

Katatonia's trip-hop-ish songs would be ones like "Unfurl", "Lacquer", and some of the remixes, particularly the Urban Dub of "In the White"

I've generally recommended artists like Sevdaliza and Perdition City-era Ulver, I also highly recommend (and can't believe I never thought to recommend before) mid 90s Depeche Mode (Songs of Faith and Devotion but especially Ultra). Oh and bonus Duran Duran
