When I first heard this album, A Journey's End, at the age of 17, It was one of the greatest things I'd heard in my short life. The opening track (If this link doesn't work, search "Graven Idol" by Primordial) shook me to life. I was fucking enthralled. Revisiting it today while walking out in the cold of the Canadian winter recaptured the chills I experienced the very first time. Can't recommend this album enough. The Kings of Irish metal
Fun fact - my ex-gf said the lead singer Alan Averill's body language and demeanour was basically a clone of me

I was born with the wrong sign,
in the wrong house,
with the wrong ascendency.
“I want the following word: splendor, splendor is fruit in all its succulence, fruit without sadness. I want vast distances. My savage intuition of myself.”
― Clarice Lispector
The decisive thing is not the reality of the object, but the reality of the subjective factor, i.e. the primordial images, which in their totality represent a psychic mirror-world. It is a mirror, however, with the peculiar capacity of representing the present contents of consciousness not in their known and customary form but in a certain sense sub specie aeternitatis, somewhat as a million-year old consciousness might see them.

The great Zen master Zhuang Zhou dreamt that he was a butterfly. When he awoke, he asked himself, "Am I a man who just dreamt about being a butterfly, or am I a butterfly who now dreams about being a man?"
Hagzilla, was watching interviews the other day and Devy seems to be an Ego (Enneagram-wise) type, I'm pretty sure a 9, he even said despite his Bipolar he struggled with "Neutral-states" for alot of his life. Given that Ni creative seems the most plausible answer, this almost certainly precludes EIE. I know the drugs burned him out but that likely doesn't fully account for it, and Music he's described as a therapeutic process for him, helping him find a release for all the pent up shit and figuring out who he is. He sounds extremely Extro, despite looking and talking like a 9 (or possibly a 4), so LIE might be right afterall! Devy might in fact be Your Duality husbando I guess the Fe role really comes on when he's on stage being wacky and energetic, might also be the Manic side of his Bipolar. If so, he's the most F mature LIE I've ever seen. Whatever he is he's a fascinating human being
I was comparing him to Averill from Primordial who is EXTREMELY Ni Creative and Rational. I think it's likely Alan is EIE, but Devy is not, which deductively points to LIE (or a very odd subtype of some other TIM). I think Primordial are a great example of a Revolutionary Beta band with "epic" energy, historical themes and lyrics, and tons of Ni creative. Primordial are like the rebellious side of Beta rational Dyad, it seems (lead guitarist also looks like a Program Ti).
Anyways, excuse the ramble, just thought I'd log these thoughts while they're relevant. Super stoked You're enjoying Primordial!

Normally I only post one at a time, but today I thought I'd test the waters with a genre batch-post. I know it's alot, so only choose what appeals, or get to them whenever works for You.
Dunno about Y'all, but Cyber responded well to Math Rock (indulgently complex off-shoot of 'Indie Rock'), so let's give this a try
This one sounds so quintessentially American
Picture perfect playthough; the sound engineers deserve a raise:

What happens when You make it progressive and run it through some distortion? Metal happens:
Bonus: A personal fave. That outro is insane
We'll save Mathcore for another day I don't expect any of You to like all of them, I'm just throwing some darts and seeing what lands for You, so it's a broad net.
If You got through them all You're an absolute champ
