CheapSweets Pick 'n' Mix - Best of 2022

What is it?

Remnants of the Vessel, first full album from Los Angeles experimental doomsters Faetooth (Jenna - Bass and vocals, Ash - Guitar and vocals, Ari - Guitar and vocals, Rah - Drums, plus guest cellist Ari Bone).

What is it like?

Fairy Doom Metal. What does that mean? It's an album that is by turns etherial, moody, and absolutely crushing. The guitars and bass have a great sludgy, fuzzy tone, the drumming (much like the album as a whole) ranges from subtle to brutal as the songs demand, and there is a real mix of vocal styles that work fantastically well together. Oh, and there's some great cello on some of the tracks. More cello in doom metal, please :)

It draws from myth and folklore, it's fae, witchy, and deeply melancholic, and it's easily one of my favourite albums of 2022.

Futile is the work of men

Metal, stone, and words will all bend

On thy knees now

We fall with what we build

Don't just take my word for it:

Image 1: Digital art of Shiver from Splatoon 3. The illustration uses mostly light pinks and blues to match the trans flag, and the background is white. Shiver has top surgery scars and hugs the Blåhaj shark plushie close, grinning widely. The plush is striped with the trans flag colors and says, "Hej! I'm BEYOU BLÅHAJ". /End Image 1

Ikea Canada made a real trans flag Blahaj

And they give them out to sexual health centres for people getting gender affirming treatment to hug [crying emoji]

Okay, time to finally sit down and start watching Godziban...

Reminder that the Godziban team built a MonsterVerse Godzilla puppet which could be unleashed in the show at any moment. I hope he only speaks English.
