Carnifex - Necromanteum
Something I briefly brought up in my review of Thy Art Is Murder’s new album, Godlike, is that I’m not that into deathcore album, because a lot of it sounds the same and it’s just gone into a direction that I’m not into. A lot of bands have either fallen off or changed their sound (regardless if it’s in a good or bad way), and the new bands that are replacing the old guard just aren’t it. I mean, I liked some of these bands a few years ago, such as Lorna Shore, Signs Of The Swarm, and a few others, but I haven’t been too impressed with their recent outputs. Lorna Shore’s latest album was good, but it was very bloated to say the least. Thanks to them, too, the idea of blackened symphonic deathcore is now the big trend that a lot of bands are following and it’s not something I care too much for. It’s either that, or trying to be as “brutal” as possible, and I just miss the days when deathcore bands were basically death metal bands with breakdowns. The days of early Whitechapel, Veil Of Maya, Suicide Silence, and Despised Icon are gone, which bums me out, but I will say one thing — when those bands were big, deathcore was mocked mercilessly by the metal community, but now, it’s absolutely beloved.
California deathcore crew Carnifex is another one that was a big name back about 15 years ago, and while they’re not as big as they used to be, they’re still trucking along, and they’re one of the legacy bands of the genre now. They’re back with their new album, Necromanteum, and it’s their first in a couple of years. I never spent much time with 2021’s Graveside Confessions, but I did love 2019’s World War X. That album is the precursor to these other deathcore bands suddenly utilizing that blackened symphonic sound, because I feel like Carnifex was one of the first bands to do it, but I digress. I was looking forward to this, as I do really like this band still, and they’re a deathcore band that throw a lot of death metal influence into their sound, but they have a more noticeable black metal influence now. Necromanteum is very much a blackened symphonic deathcore album, and I don’t know if it’s where there are a lot of bands with this sound now, or they don’t add anything to this sound to make it stick out, but this record doesn’t feel fresh. It’s really good, and showcases the band at their best at times, but it almost feels like a standard Carnifex album.
Even then, a generic album from this band is a lot better than some deathcore bands’ best albums. This album isn’t bad at all, and in fact, I’d say it’s pretty damn good. If you enjoy Carnifex at all, you’ll like this album, as it doesn’t stray from their formula, especially from the last few records. That’s why it is slightly disappointing, but even then, that’s like complaining that a cheeseburger at your favorite hole in the wall diner is the same as every other time you’ve had it. Sure, it’s the same thing, but it’s still just as good, and they have a couple of tricks up their sleeves that still make it worthwhile. In their case, vocalist Scott Lewis is one of the best of the genre, and they have some awesome guitar solos and breakdowns throughout the album that are utterly killer, even if they don’t reinvent the wheel by any means. That doesn’t mean it isn’t really good, and it doesn’t mean that it’s not worth listening to if you’re a deathcore fan.

Movie Review: Jurassic World - Dominion
Movie Review: Jurassic World – Dominion
Since Steven Spielberg adapted Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park novel over three decades ago, several generations have grown up with tales of a world in which dinosaurs and man walked the earth (with the help of computer-generated imagery, and full-size robotics).
In 2015, Colin Trevorrow took the helm of a new series based on Crichton and Spielberg’s work. However, the last entry in this series…

Notes :
all links lead to the goodreads page of the book, mostly because i like to look at book cover art ;
list features authors/books that i love (T. Kingfisher, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ursula K. Le Guin, the collections from the British Library Tales of the Weird, etc.), but also a few that i don't like and some that i have not yet read ;
if upon seeing that list the first novel you check out is by Stephen King's you have not understood the assignment ;
not all of those are strictly horror stories, some are 100% science fiction (Brian W. Aldiss' Hothouse for instance).
#text#ramblings#plant tag#botanical horror#last time i posted a list of non-fiction books on the topic. time for some variety

Updated stream list
I've been getting a lot of questions/requests regarding possible streams and thought it might be helpful to catalog everything we've watched so far! I'll keep it pinned and updated moving forward.
Longtime crowd favorites (streamed at least three times) are marked with a single asterisk.
Why isn’t [specific actor/video] on this list?
The video is currently marked not for trade.
We haven’t gotten to it yet.
The footage does not exist or is too incomplete.
It isn't on a platform I can stream it from.
There's something particularly off-putting about the video or actor.
How can I get a copy of a video listed here?
There's a list of publicly available bootlegs here, and there are many other adaptations on the Phantom Retrospective channel. Otherwise, contact @glassprism (or another trader) for a possible trade, or check her website for info on which master(s) to contact.
For general stream info, please see the Saturday Streams FAQ.

Who are some Phantoms that weren’t principal Phantoms but were just as good if not better?
Oh, let's see... so there's going to be some overlap with Phantoms who were principals at some point, because that's just how the show works, but I would say:
Ian Jon Bourg - He was definitely principal in the German productions, but he was only ever an understudy in the various English-language productions he was in (national tour, Las Vegas, World Tours), which is a crying shame as he was so solid and so consistently good in every run. I don't know if he'd necessarily beat out some of the principals he was opposite (vocally he'd win against Brad Little, at least), but he was at least on par with them.
Scott Davies - Another who was principal at one point, but I think most people know him as London's long-running standby for some ten years, and those ten years saw him giving an even better performance than when he was principal - he was more nuanced, more emotional, just a stunning performer no matter what cast he was opposite. He saw so many actors come and go that I can't say he was necessary as good or better than all of them, but I sure did enjoy him just as much as many of them.
Jeremy Stolle - Stolle! Now this is one who has definitely never had an official principal run. I know some find him too stoic, but I always loved how subtle and detailed his acting was and how he used his voice so effectively. Again, can't say he was better than everyone (Panaro, at least, beats him out), but I definitely enjoyed him more than, say, Ben Crawford, Peter Joback, Norm Lewis, and the name we shall not speak.
David Arnsperger - Arnsperger did have a short, temporary run as principal in Oberhausen (where I liked him better than Brent Barrett), but mainly I know him as the alternate Phantom in Hamburg. In all fairness to Mathias Edenborn, the principal Phantom, I did think Edenborn grew into the role over time, but I always preferred Arnsperger's voice, and for a time, his old-school approach to the role.
Andrey Shkoldychenko - Another who has actually never had a principal run, and one where I unequivocally like him better than the two principals. I don't care for Ivan Ozhogin - I find him rather one-note - and I like Dmitri Ermak but find him a bit too smooth at times. Shkoldychenko, though was the best of both worlds - as commanding and arresting as Ermak but with a bit of the grit of Ozhogin. Definitely my favorite Russian Phantom.
Fred Silveira - Okay, so Silveira is decent, but I wouldn't say he's incredible. He's just better than Thiago Arancam, which, let's be real, is not hard to be. Oh, and I guess this can apply to the other Brazilian Phantoms (Leonardo Neiva and Cleyton Pulzi), I just don't know as much about them.

Bunch of new pieces this week!
Good evening!
Apologies for the lack of email last week, and the lack of bonus erotica episode too - I'm traveling back and forth at the moment as I try to sort out flat stuff, and unfortunately my asthma is kicking my ass at the moment and making it really hard to sit and record audio even when I have the time. I'm hoping after some rest my chest will chill out a bit and I'll be able to record by next week, but unfortunately it's not predictable.
I had a great time at Bristol Pride and met some of you guys, so if that was you, thanks so much for saying hello!
I will be at Leeds Pride in August, too, so looking forward to that.
Before I get to media recommendations and my new works published in the past two weeks, just your reminder that I am now running a trans erotica publication on Medium!
I'm reccing a favourite in my Media Recs section below, but since starting off, there's 20 new erotic pieces there to peruse, and I'm so, so excited to see a broad swathe of authors and works as time goes on and the publication reaches more people.
Trans Erotica on Medium
Please don't feel that you have to be transmasc or MLM to submit just because I am, by the way, I'd love to see more transfem and trans woman authors, as well as lesbians and WLW, submitting too!
Here are the Submission Guidelines, and here's a basic guide to Medium to get you started if you're new to the platform. Want a prompt to get you started? Here's the July 2023 prompt set.
Media Recs
Fashioning a Fop by Damien Locke- Short fiction. An 18th century tale of a trans man discovering himself through dressing in men’s clothing for the first time. This piece is fucking spectacular, so gorgeously written and with such wonderful 1700s-style prose, very hot, very fun!
What's in the Tea? by Achilles King - Short fiction. 18+ Erotica. Cis M/M and Cis M/Trans M. This is a gorgeous little piece playing with massage and the drugging effects of a particular tea, and I love the power play in this one.
The Music Man (1962, dir. Morton DaCosta) - A musical! I've been in the mood for musicals the past few days, and I enjoyed this one a lot more than I expected - a lot of the music has really stuck with me, I love the brass band stuff and the rapid patter pace of the show, especially because I love a conman. With that said, Marian Paroo is a ridiculous name for a woman - the librarian love interest should be a man. I also watched and enjoyed Sweet Charity (1969, dir. Bob Fosse), and I never realised Big Spender was from this show! So that was fun.
I had a gay movie marathon with my boyfriend, Lewis, so first we watched A League Of Their Own (1992, dir. Penny Marshall) and Thelma and Louise (1991, dir. Ridley Scott). These are both great films, obviously - A League of Their Own is a semi-biographical story about the first female baseball league in the USA during the war, and the second is a crime drama with two besties/lovers stuck in an escalating spiral after one of them shoots an attempted rapist. Lewis was surprised that Thelma and Louise is actually gay, so just FYI, it really is actually gay! It's not a happy ending and it's not uncomplicated, but Thelma and Louise are such great characters, and I love them a lot.
We also watched a favourite of mine, which is Gods and Monsters (1998, dir. Bill Condon), starring Ian McKellen and Brendan Fraser. If you love sexy manipulative old gay men fucking with the heads of younger mostly straight men who don't know how to deal with being the object of a man's desire, who are terrified of queerness on so many levels, but are also drawn to the novel and new? Yeah, baby. This is the flick for you.
Goetia (2016) - This is a point-and-click videogame that I played on PS4, although I also have it on PC, and I just finished it today. If you're interested in demonology and you love a 20th century haunted house, this is a short game with some great character writing and a really engaging mystery - a lot of it is pretty fucking creepy, and while the ending didn't entirely land for me, I enjoyed the game enough that I do want to recommend it. This is fucking difficult as a puzzle game, though, so definitely keep a notepad and pen handy.
We also caught the Super Mario Bros. (2023, dir. Michael Jelenic and Aaron Horvath) movie, and it was grand - it was honestly very well-paced, funny, and they did a lot of creative stuff with the source material, plus I'm obviously disgustingly horny for Bowser at all times, so it was good food for my libido.
With that said, it was a bit too aggressive with the heterosexuality, and the racial politics of the whole thing are... Fucking bad. Like, there's a lot to unpack there that I'd need a whole essay to pick apart, and as a white dude I really don't know that it's my place - there's always been some racism in the franchise, like the British studio's addition of a lot of anti-Black coding in making Donkey Kong 64, but just the whole vibe of the Mushroom Kingdom's worship of Princess Peach is like... Weird.
And lastly, I watched and loved The Wicker Man (1973, dir. Robin Hardy), and I have an extensive review below.

Pete Astor — Tall Stories & New Religions (Tapete)
These songs sidle in slyly, cleverly worded but not obnoxious about it, beautifully played but not in any showy way. The elegiac “Disney Queen,” swans about in faded elegance, framed by slow, splayed guitar chords and a vaguely samba-ish rhythm, a nearly ideal avator of rain-through-sunshine British pop. It’s sad but also wryly hopeful, sung in a warm, considering tenor that’s done a song or two and knows how it works.
That’s one of a dozen tracks, plucked from various phases of the career of Pete Astor, the rueful, ruminative center of bands including The Loft, the Weather Prophets and the Wisdom of Harry. He sticks mostly to off-cuts and uncelebrated b-sides on this lovely little collection, recovering ground from the 1980s, 1990s and aughts. It’s a celebration, of sorts, of 40 years of music making, where time is always flying but no one is any particular hurry.
Astor has gathered a low-key but excellent band of musicians to accompany him along the farther reaches of Memory Lane. His crew includes Ian Button of Death in Vegas and other bands on drums, Paul Weller bassist Andy Lewis, guitarist Wilson Neil Scott of Felt and Everything But the Girl and keyboardist and producer Sean Read. The music is quietly, subtly good, whether slanted towards blues in “Caesar Boots,” or swirling in echoey surf romanticism in “Ladies and Gentlemen” or rocking out, in a subdued way, on “Chinese Cadillac.”
In my review of Astor’s last solo album, Time On Earth, I remarked on his affinity for gloomy weather, and here, too, precipitation serves as impetus for moody glamor. “She Comes from the Rain,” a 1987 Weather Prophets single, conjures the magic of a springtime drenching, its guitar line resonant and sure amid dreaming verse and chorus.
This set of songs sidesteps the bigger hits, but every song is still a gem, wistful and poignant but not without a leavening of humor. Pete Astor isn’t a brand name, but if the B-sides are this good, maybe he should be.
