During an exam, the eye doctor said, "So, you're 41," and I was not prepared for that kind of vicious personal attack.

If any movie stars or other rich people would care to pay for the recording of an album of weird grindcore, my DMs are open.

Check out the very wholesome feature in the new issue of @decibelmagazine.bsky.social about our guitar player's mom, and the cookies she bakes.

On behalf of all the DIY touring bands who have arrived in NYC hours before that night's venue opens for load-in, I wish to express my excitement for the new toilets.

Spent yesterday sinking into mud to catch performances by a few living legends.

Every time I glance at the social media apps, I mainly see a bunch of engagement-hungry accounts and bots repeatedly sharing an advertisement for a large corporation with the supposed purpose of expressing "outrage" over its imagery. Exhausting.

We made a video for our song, "Obsolete Machines." Disclaimer: Video contains some kinda gross and disturbing archival footage. Watch the whole thing here: youtu.be/BPYQoVIjHXM?... #metalsky #deathmetal #grindcore

Had a nice chat with Kurt of The Bad Penny Blog about politics and the responsibilities of artists in a time of rising authoritarianism. Find the full conversation at youtu.be/qalBKaH_8ss?.... WARNING: Contains opinions.

Happy May Day/Bandcamp Friday! Thanks to everyone who listened to, bought, and/or reviewed AVARICE in the first week of release. We really appreciate it! If you haven't grabbed a copy, now is a great time to do it.

Excerpts from positive reviews for the new Nequient album, Avarice, taken from outlets like Decibel Magazine, Everything is Noise, and Angry Metal Guy.

I'm running out to the store. Gotta stock up on sandwich rolls before Trump's Gestapo comes to town. Need anything?

I have reached an age when listening to Trent sing about being 26 years on his way to hell or, worse, Tomas Lindberg scream about 22 years of pain on a couple of the best songs ever really feels like a personal attack.

Perhaps I've judged the chat bots too harshly.

You can tell the entire metal world is in mourning today because we're all wearing black.

Just gonna embrace the feeling that we're regressing to the early aughts by listening to a ton of Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage, and In Flames.

If taking communion now means eating a slice of tavern-style pizza and drinking a shot of Malort, I may be willing to convert.

You know, it really sucks how we don't even get any cool-looking propaganda in this dystopia. Everything is just tacky, stupid, and depressing.

Sure is ridiculous how much higher the standards have become for ethics and personal behavior if you're in a mildly successful band than if you run parts of the U.S. government (which is not a criticism of those bands).

The new clipping. record is pretty sick, especially if you have the proper appreciation for William Gibson, Phillip K. Dick, etc. clppng.bandcamp.com/album/dead-c...

Cool to see this site becoming more video-friendly. Here's a recent clip of our drummer working on tracks for our next album (due out later this year).

My enthusiasm about owning ACID BATH tickets is only slightly moderated by the fact that I have to wait nine months to use them.

Someone tell me what booking agent I need to beg for one of these opening slots on Bernie's speaking tour. 😃

Everything is awful, and I'm just hanging on by the skin of my teeth until we can go play a few shows later this month. But, hey, those will be a good time!
