@kidlightbulbs@musicworld.social yes, I do! The whole "this much ends up to the artist" visual is very much useful in undelining the issue to fans/users.
I'm heavy user of @musicbrainz@mastodon.social (and personally Discogs), as an user and editor as well, so maybe something to utilize their data (also @ListenBrainz@mastodon.social ?) in some way?
🎼 Happy #MusiciansDay
We are Abhorrence from Finland, originally formed in 1989, still active with the same lineup except for drummer.
We play old school death metal.
According to Last.fm our most listened tracks are "Caught in a Vortex" and "Holy Laws of Pain", also "Anthem for the Anthropocene" off the latest EP.
You can find our music behind this link https://linktr.ee/abhorrencefin
Posted something to Instagram in ages (it was about the shop opening).
Big gains 🤘 😂
We finally opened a merch store!
It's a local company based in Finland and everything is print-on-demand, I think.
Let me know if there is something you'd like to see there, we're still trying to sort everything out.
All wishes, suggestions and ideas are welcome! 🙏

@kidlightbulbs@musicworld.social I would appreciate the ability to add odesli's song.link and album.link URLs so that it would present the names of the album/song being linked to.
It's such an easy way to present links to several streaming platforms at once and maybe guide users to choose one over the other.
EDIT: Oh and a divider, something to make multiple links look a bit... grouped. In linktree our page looks like this linktr.ee/abhorrencefin just to visualise what I mean.
Abhorrence will be playing KILL-TOWN DEATH FEST XI - "STAGES OF DECAY", which will take place from 3rd - 6th September 2026 at Pumpehuset, Copenhagen, Denmark.
4 days, 3 stages, 37 international death metal bands plus food, beer, distros, Heavy Thunder Metal Market and more!
See links for more info:

Let's help Kill-Town Death Fest get some visibility and help the underground! Spread the word!
Especially Facebook is suppressing lots of information, unless you pay of course. For example their Facebook has lots of flyers and banners, so be an old school street team member and put your own twist on the message, share their stuffs.

"Mapping Ownership Concentration in the European Live Music Sector"
This sucks. While it doesn't directly touch underground music nor big chunk of death metal scene, this same "concentration of power", so to speak, is everyhwere, including entertainment and food industry.
Yet another reason to support your local everything, support the small ones, buy direct if possible.

Nice visual write-up from last year, regarding the compensation to artists from different streaming platforms.
All the more reason to move off Spotify.
Me, blasting the new #Belzebong album.

Horrifying report from Deezer. This bit "35% of all new uploads is AI" was especially horrifying, but also that a lot of people don't notice, or even care, is quite freaky.
When will the first "Death album that Chuck forgot in his leather jacket pocket" get released?

Vorheüm! Check them out!
It's described with tags "kosmiche black metal experimental repetitive", but I'd call it "blackened kraut". I like this!

Inferno report from the gig with pictures, in Finnish.
Next friday is Bandcamp Friday, once again! (every month ➡️ 1st friday)
It's the day when Bandcamp waives their fees, meaning more of your support goes directly to the artists.
🎧 Our full digital discography is about 15 €, but you can pay more if you wish to support the band.

Also this handy dandy website you can check out if remembering stupid rules is annoying.

Thanks! 🙌
Stay brutal! 🤟

Lack of money meant that studios couldn’t be booked for weeks, so the first logical release for starting bands was usually a self-released demo tape or a seven-inch vinyl, where they could squeeze in two to four tracks.
Even though we are talking about Finnish death metal here, the American record label Seraphic Decay, run by Steve O’Bannon, plays an important role in this story. It was the label that originally released the first 7” records for three Finnish bands: Disgrace’s Debts of God (1990), Abhorrence’s Abhorrence (1990) and Messiah Paratroops’ The Past (1992).

In the years that followed, death metal evolved into many different subgenres, but here we have three legendary releases rooted in the core of darkness and brutality from the formative years, none of which clock in at over 14 minutes. True gems, rotten little nuggets, for you to enjoy again and again.

@Kitty@metalhead.club thanks, but it's not a Fedi problem, nor a real problem in general really, just something I was wondering due to a email.

Kiitos buustaajille ja tykkääjille!
Inferno uutisoi keikka-asiasta på Finska / in Finnish:
@hannsr@metalhead.club yup, I've got few of those, which are on 3 sides because it wouldn't fit on single LP without degrading the sound, which is acceptable to me. D-sides have engravings tho, which are pretty, but... Yeah.

Killtown Death Fest just released some info on the running order of the fest!
Check it out on their Instagram and Facebook pages.
KTDF just announced festival beers!
They're called Pallor Mortis Pale Ale, Distension Discolouration Sour, Blackened Putrefaction Dark Lager, Active Decay IPA, all done in collaboration with Slowburn Brewing!
Have I mentioned I'm a huge fan of sour beers? Anyway, might have to pick some to bring home too!

Just before our #KilltownDeathFest gig, it's #BandcampFriday and we can toot about our single from last year, celebrating 40 years of #deathmetal (actual date of birth still under debate).
As a challenge; Can you name the 16 bands referenced in the lyrics without searching (no LLMs either)?

Did you remember today is Bandcamp Friday?
If you have music in your wishlist, today is a GREAT day to buy those, since all proceeds go directly to bands!
