Shameless self promotion. Go listen to Fathomless II.

I didn't include any punk rock, doom, or industrial and I've obsessed over a ton of that too. And Sabbath and Deep Purple.

They got cut off before their last song, and Al blamed the earlier bands for "going long" even though Ministry's set started precisely on time. The only band that went long was Ministry due to Al dicking around between songs and wandering the stage like he was lost [contains quote post or other embedded content]26 Apr 2026 18:54 +0000at://did:plc:oftcxim7fbos65agtp2e3vh3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkga5twzpc24https://bsky.app/profile/fathomlessmetal.bsky.social/post/3mkg5zdrkis24 [contains quote post or other embedded content]26 Apr 2026 18:16 +0000at://did:plc:oftcxim7fbos65agtp2e3vh3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkg5zdrkis24https://bsky.app/profile/fathomlessmetal.bsky.social/post/3mkg5k4e4dk24My phone battery got too low to post about the SNW sets we saw after Clutch last night, but here's the highlights: Ministry - great set list, but Al seemed super wasted (even by his standards), had his vocals on a track and kept missing cues Danny Elfman - amazing as always, Josh Freese drummed26 Apr 2026 18:07 +0000at://did:plc:oftcxim7fbos65agtp2e3vh3/app.bsky.feed.post/3mkg5k4e4dk24https://bsky.app/profile/fathomlessmetal.bsky.social/post/3mkenb74zik2bI've said before, and I will say it 1000 more times.
