Hello Fediverse! We are Ascendency, a five-piece post-hardcore band from Germany, formed in 2009.
We love crushing riffs, juicy breakdowns and catchy melodies. If you do, too, check out our latest track, "SUNDOWN": https://song.link/Ascendency-SUNDOWN
I have heard their name before. And honestly, my first reaction was kind of rejection. In a country with a band called "Viva Suecia", find another called "Viva Belgrado", honestly, sounds cheap and tacky.
However, today I dared to listen to their music and it is everything but cheap! In fact, I very much like their sound.
In a week and a day from now, if the employees of the Deutsche Bahn decide so (aka: no strikes, heh), I will be seeing live again to the amazing Serena Cherry with her equally amazing band, Svalbard.
I'll do a proper intro message now as I know more what I'm doing. I'm fed up of Twitter/X being all hate speech & fake accounts so I've come here to discuss music, #horrormovies & #scifi. Yeah I'm one of those! 😀
i've been in a constant state of longing for the way the internet used to feel so i decided to create a very minimal music forum, similar to the phpbb forums we all used to visit.
no algorithms, no ads, minimal feature sets, minimal js, etc. i just missed scoping out music on my schedule and seeing what others are enjoying.
if you're into music, feel free to make a post or two.
Bed Maker's line-up of Rhizome and Ft. Reno vets dazzled with their take on the Discord sound with a set of tight, growling post-hardcore rock. (I got to see Jeff play 'regular' guitar, @dave_heumann!). 2/🧵
I have, indeed, listened to plenty of female lead metal bands this year, and I feel naming just one is leaving so many more behind. But if I have to pick one, that's for sure:
🏆 Serena Cherry, front woman of Svalbard.
Hear her shout about being a front woman in the metal media.
So, there is no album yet and no EP in 2023 but three single releases by our @ascendency and it does fit into @DXMacGuffin choice for a special category of the #AlbumOddTheYear2023 (from @derthomas and @Kitty). It’s the one "left me wanting more". I’m hoping there will be an album on the horizon for this band in 2024.
Somehow I’m just not getting it right with the #RegionalRiffs contributions for @Banur. I’m hoping it’s still totally fine, I’m using it generously on all days but Saturday.
