I think both cheese and chocolate are awesome, but I don't want them both on the same piece of bread.

I hope by "carbon copy" you don't mean that it SOUNDS exactly like the last record – because it doesn't at all!

Mmm, very much enjoying the crazed demonic roar of De Magia Veterum's The Deification so far. Seriious monster music in the vein of Dodecahedron or Gnaw Their Tongues. Reminds me that I haven't listened to that Aluk Todolo album yet...
― glenn mcdonald, Monday, 15 October 2012 17:53 (eleven years ago) link
"Seriious" was a typo, but I think I'm going to adopt it for this sense of taking a set of aesthetic premises seriously for artist purposes, whether you take them seriously in any non-artistic sense or not.

So this is odd but potentially cool, apparently Ireland's number one underground metal record store is opening a location in...St.Paul, MN!

Wow, that's very unexpected! I still haven't been into the original Dublin store (it's hidden on a side street away from the heart of town, though close to a college) but it seems to have its fans.

Having heard Occult Rock a half dozen times and while it's good (often in a very Daydream Nation way) I can now say re-listening to Finsternis that the latter is far better (it's like a black metal Harmonia).

2400 or so words I wrote on Royal Thunder, Christian Mistress, Witch Mountain, etc. -- finally on line, 2 months or so after they ran in print.

As usual, a solid piece of writing xhuxk. Any chance you'll be at the Witch Mountain show in Austin next month?

I should probably go to that, huh? (I better look up where & when it is first, though.)

that seems like a terrible place to open a metal shop.
are they counting on lots of mcnally traffic?

I am listening to a band called Salem's Pot. It's exactly what you'd expect -- sub-Electric Wizard epic stoner doom -- but that name is amazing. Salem's Pot. Crazy Swedes.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 18 October 2012 00:23 (eleven years ago) link
Xpost, don't know the neighborhood too well, is there a lot of walk in extreme metal traffic anyway?
― i dox in yellow gox dox socks (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 18 October 2012 00:29 (eleven years ago) link
Obviously there is an extreme amount.

i think its around the corner from capitol guitars, which is a metal shop, so maybe thats part of the plan?

And though this isn't a 2012 thing, with Mark Reale's passing mentioned upthread, I figure this is as good a place as any to point out there is an entire 1981 Riot show up on youtube. It's pretty magnificent so far.

Hey, all. Engaging discussion you have here. Over the last few days I've been reading -- sometimes effortlessly, sometimes ... less effortlessly -- through not only this metal thread but the one from 2010 (I'm sure soon enough I'll stumble across last year's), and I have to say, on balance I've been enjoying myself. Not much of the music mentioned has been new to me, but a) that's because I spend as much time as you guys do panning for gold, and b) I like reading these exchanges among the council of elders as much for the impressions of the music as for discovering the music itself. Hopefully, though, I'll be nudging myself from voyeur to contributor. Ya seem like a friendly bunch, and the message board is a depressingly fading phenomenon.
Having said that, I'm wondering if the American band Bound By Entrails has been overlooked or not deemed up to the level of the rest of the year's end lists. (I have no affiliation with them.) There was some minor but concentrated excitement over at metal-archives, and Decibel featured them (someone here writes for dB, correct?) Their album The Stars Bode You Farewell came out of nowhere -- well, Alaska -- and had no trouble sweeping away whatever my #1 2012 pick would've been. It's a little latter day Emperor, a little early Agalloch, some potluck Opeth, all submersed in an atmosphere that reminds me of Aspera Hiems Symfonia. I'll hold off on the impassioned evangelism, but I felt compelled at the least to ask if you guys were familiar with them.
Anyway, nice to meet everyone, and hopefully my future posts will not feature multiple paragraphs.
Oh, either this rolling thread or the 2010 iteration did get me to check out Killing Joke of all bands, so I have to say thanks for that! (I had Pandemonium in the 90s but never ventured earlier into their catalog. Whoops.)

Never heard of Bound By Entrails, but I have a general distaste for black metal, so I'm likely to avoid them in any case. I do like the Scandinavian band Entrails, for whatever that's worth.
Welcome!
