This is actually dank. Clearly influenced by LA hardcore and screamo, as well as oldschool indie. They kind of sound like deerhoof now that I think about it.
Read Proust to get simultaneously comfy and mindfucked, like the band you posted.

Nice. This is not black metal proper but seems BM adjacent, maybe doom metal? I'm not up on my subgenres.
Obviously the best book for black or doom metal is mythology, followed by books which would tantalize your love of the grotesque. Maybe In the Miso Soup for you.

Deathgrips is pretty good but deathgrips mashups are meme material, and you came so close to greatness with your digits.
For that you get a book which is by meme, and which came close to greatness. Broom of the system.

King Crimson. Great band, very much of their time. What time is that? the 1970s.
For you, a book which is very much of the 1970s as well: the non-fiction journalistic work Helter Skelter. Matches the KC themes pretty well as well.

I genuinely dislike this. Way too much going on. Some book I don't like which has too much going on, how about this is the obligatory nick land recommendation.

Representing the LBC.
Personal fave from recent years, Cherry by Nico Walker.

Not a fully fleshed out thought coming from an autodidact stemlord but I think the best, most useful parts of the humanities, are when they are criticizing or at least holding some kind of posture against the status quo. Not just the surface level aesthetics of the status quo but the very intrinsic assumptions and values of the status quo.
Not that all criticism is good, but that good criticism is almost always kind of earthshaking. This is how we get knew perspectives which yield dividends in creative work like art and music, maybe with implications for thinking about ethics or sometimes even STEM type stuff.
But I think that the current cultural critiques from the humanities establishment (meaning, universities and the non-profit complex and their associated publications and conferences) actually servers to support the status quo, an identitarian radical liberal position which legitimizes and expands the power of bureaucratic institutions like corporations, human resources departments, black people and queer networking groups, whatever. "the cathedral" some have clumsily called it.
Follow up: there is still and always will be some value in humanities, but that value may not always come from institutions formally studying the humanities.
Maybe right now the best art and poetry is done somewhere outside of the mainstream humanities and nonprofit machine and is pretty highly suppressed, so obviously some uncool square like me hasn't heard of it, but it's profound and powerful enough that it will have long range effects which will change the face of our culture and will eventually be experienced by everyone. Like that velvet underground album which didn't sell a lot but everyone who did buy it ended up starting their own band.
