Although resonator basses have been around for at least a decade it seems, apparently people didn't really use them much or at least it wasn't popular until recently.

Do you mean wobble basses or something else? Pretty sure those have been around since late 80s or at the very least since the 90s. There was this one quite popular track from a Levis ad (iirc) that had one (Mr Oizo - Flat Beat).

But yeah, in more mainstream music they're quite a new thing.

No, resonator basses are something else. I'm not the best at explaining this but basically resonators make use of comb filters to bring out a note within a sound and all of its harmonics. Basically you could make any non-tonal sound into something tonal. Give an atonal drum sound tonal color and turn it into a chord, etc. Put it on an atonal dubstep growl and you suddenly have a tonal, melodic-sounding growl. Afaik they are fairly new in production, and Color Bass utilizes them a ton - it's sort of what defines the genre, although stuff is constantly evolving and new techniques have arisen to make similar sounds in a different way (using convolution impulse responses, for example).

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

A new track by a friend of mine!

Celestric - Rainbows

You can hear some of the resonator sound throughout the track (especially during the drop, although the sound design here is so amazing I don't actually know how a lot of it was made haha)

The soundtrack for Sons of the Forest is dope. Lots of pure instrumental tracks, homage tracks for rock, alt rock, synthwave.

But this is my absolute favorite: Fire In The Night.

It's kinda the perfect fusion of late 80s/90s hair band rock, alt rock and modern edgy sensibilities.

Clamavi De Profundis in general, mostly known (by me  ) for really great singing of songs from LOTR books. In particular, their four Negankerdak songs, about 30 minutes long in total. Subject is as banal fantasy as it gets, but song itself made me teary-eyed at several points with how amazing it was.

I've only really listened to their religious music. Here's something in honor of All Souls' Day.

Laufey’s voice is so goddamn beautiful, it nearly makes me cry. I can’t cope with how layeredly perfect it is. It’s like watching in anticipation as shining chocolate sauce pours slowly down a rich chocolate cake, and then slowly eating the cake.

edit:
okay, maybe I’m overhyping her a little, reading that back
still damn good, though

[Laterigrade]

incapable of putting This Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We down, Mitski’s voice is just amazing, especially when she puts strong emotion into it

the hint of menace and wrongness, too, in the midst of melancholy, is perfect; it’s like some kind of flipside of the songs I got into OK Computer through

[Laterigrade]

stumbled on Seb Lowe’s music, whose lyricism is just excellent, I cannot overstate how good it is
very much a social issues/critique artist, if you don’t mind that sort of thing, and he does it very well, mixed in with some other more standard emotional stuff
I can’t really pin down a cohesive genre summary, but if I had to it’d go somewhere in the middle of rock

I really liked this, tell your friend good job

Say what you will about how Warhammer 40k: Darktide is going. But the soundtrack has the blessing of the Emperor.

Bit enamored with Vulkan lately.

Here's Nyxoma which just happens to be a banger and has repeating motifs with the next two songs, Captain Syracuse and RUSMTSIM. Love me some repeating musical motifs. Gimme themes across an album/soundtrack and elaborate on them! Mmf!

I haven't really figured out their Observants album, but Mask of Air and their latest, Technatura, slap.
