Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

A Dying Breed - In Memory of Tomorrow (2003)





After my long winded but really enjoyable to write review on Wednesday, I'm going to let the music speak a bit more for itself on this one. Especially because, once again, I don't know where I got this, why I got this, or who these guys really are. Maybe those CDBaby gnomes put it on my computer late one night? They're unemployed these days..

Anyway, meet A Dying Breed, and their album In Memory of Tomorrow. They shout out Sea Serpents and Rime Fytahs on their liner notes, so I can guess they're SoCal, and they have a similar raw but lyrical sound and delivery. Cool cover art too. The group consists of Haiku IQ3 (that's IQ cubed), Trife, Sick1, Quest1 and Exodus. This is their one and only album and the only mention I found of it online was a few songs streaming on YouTube from a fan like us, so bet it's rare.

Cool little album, DIY as f*ck. Ya'll should like it.

      Does the group have an album on youtube or just the individuals? I wouldn't mind hearing more from them either way.
