Search: Metal that Sounds Like Glenn Branca

rather than bumping the rolling metal to a resounding chorus of silence, let's use this thread for some real-deal shit

first of the day's efforts: KOSTNATENI has fucking DONE IT

https://kostnateni.bandcamp.com/album/pal

more to come, though...

yeah obv the new Victory Over The Sun too, not that ILM seems to care at more

My copy of that Kostnateni is supposed to get here later today, heard a lot of god things.

It seems increasingly hard to get the ilx metal crew excited about nearly anything black metal these days. Seems like the (understandable!) desire to avoid the Nazi sympathetic black metal musicians has led more than a few people around here to just swear the genre off completely.

Kostnateni and VOTS are explicitly and obviously decent people, clearly against any of that shit. Basic comprehension is usually enough to confirm when someone's fine. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is unimaginably dumb

Jute Gyte devotes Bandcamp Friday proceeds to the National Abortion Fund. Ayloss aka Spectral Lore just did a record in support of Mediterranean refugees. Black metal that is explicitly For Good Causes is very easy to find

Even more morally ambiguous cases like Ruins Of Beverast are no more sus than the average metal musician I'd say

Oh absolutely, I know, I'm happy to throw money to folks like Jute Gyte and those fighting the good fight. I'm just saying, it seems like black metal is being given a wide berth around here and I know at least one sometimes ilxor has explicitly stated they've walked away from black metal.

Gotta mention these guys too

Ashenspire too. The list goes on

But as I say, I don't need my BM to be explicitly hard-leftist to enjoy it. It is possible to dig around about an artist if you're not sure, and it's usually pretty clear if they're Mean and Nasty. And then once you've done due diligence it's your decision whether to try to enjoy the music or not

ANYWAY. Thantifaxath tomorrow too, if you can believe :D

Yes! I’ve had it on preorder, and have been listening to the preview tracks. They’re incredible, especially ‘Mind of the Sun’. I can’t wait!
