He moved to Oregon recently, right?

maybe! would just be the first I'd heard of it. which of course doesn't mean it ain't true.

Leviathan's music is terrible and has always terrible. Not surprised (at the time, or still) it comes from a rapist/attempted murderer.
Have you ever heard of the term "libel"? Have you ever heard of the concept of "due process"? Can you point me to a shred of credible evidence to back up your claim that Wrest is a "rapist/attempted murderer"? (No, you can't.)
If you don't like his music or personality, that is your right, and feel free to blab about it all day. But it doesn't give you an excuse to make shit up about him and libel him (or anybody) in public.

I'm not saying there's a snowball's chance in hell that anyone would attempt to charge Frobisher for libel, but posts on message boards can indeed be admitted to libel trials if necessary. And my larger point is that it's ignorant to make stuff up about people and then post this ignorance on the internet. It's part of what makes the internet such a pain in the ass to visit some days, and it isn't usually the type of behavior that is accepted on ILM (which is why I like ILM a lot compared to some of the other hideous message boards out there). I guess maybe I just need to stay off message boards for a while. Peace.

Oh yeah, and Frobisher is a rapist/attempted murderer. (How do you like it, buddy?)

Sorry for the negativity everyone. I just firmly believe that every "criminal" deserves a second chance. I'm obviously taking things way too seriously, though. And sorry to Frobisher, too. I'm sure you're a decent person, even if you say stupid shit online sometimes. I still stand by my point, but it probably didn't really need to get made the way I made it.
Any recent thoughts on 2015 albums? I can't get into the Baroness record too much, despite the adoration it's been getting in various places. The production is indeed weird. I wish they would've gone for a more Albini-type of stripped-down production, since the playing is so tight. In particular, the reverb on the cymbals just muddles the mix and buries the guitar sounds in places.
Any recently discovered lost gems?

I've mentioned it before, I think, but at metal-archives there's a "worthwhile albums of 2015" thread, updated almost daily, and it's where I learn about half the shit I post about here. I highly recommend browsing it from time to time:http://www.metal-archives.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=108625
(The end of the thread especially is where the lesser known stuff pops up in a year-end scramble, so: work backwards!)

The more I listen to it, the more I think that if I'd heard the Batushka record early enough, it might have ended up at #1 on my list. Holy fuck.

― artsvashen (imago), Saturday, 6 February 2016 11:05 (eight years ago) link
Yeah, an EP, Calibros/So Fucking Tired is new, I thought?, and takes over half of the album, so I figured it would count
(I swear imago that this was not a veiled attempt to get you to answer my post on the other thread though lol)
