never heard of Mare Cognitum. looks intriguing.
― charlie h, Monday, 15 December 2014 23:05 (nine years ago) link
Loved their previous album but not heard that one yet
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 15 December 2014 23:08 (nine years ago) link
Any new discoveries today folks? or thoughts on albums that posted the previous days?
― Cosmic Slop, Monday, 15 December 2014 23:17 (nine years ago) link
Skull Fist is the first discovery to inspire ballot remorse, I have a hard time getting into a lot of old school metal but kind of like last year's Satan album, is so lively and well-written that it's really clicking for me
― anonanon, Monday, 15 December 2014 23:44 (nine years ago) link
glad for teitanblood's death and indian's from all purity, the only albums from my ballot placing at this pointwould def expect at war with reality to be higher, yeah. the rec was good - now can we get a new disfear?great finding about the cosmic dead and most of all wizard rifle
― ostras y cataplana (gaudio), Monday, 15 December 2014 23:53 (nine years ago) link

SKULL FIST

― j., Tuesday, 16 December 2014 00:44 (nine years ago) link
I feel like Swans and Earth have the best chance at making a dent in the big poll

@anonanon: just confirming that your ballot was received and counted
― ticket to rmde (seandalai), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 02:19 (nine years ago) link
My favorite discoveries on the list so far have been Wizard Rifle and Petrychor. And I was excited to see hometown Cleveland heroes Midnight place so high.

Indian is exactly what I want to hear at the end of this day. Were they considered an emo/hardcore band at any point? They remind me a bit of bands I saw in the late 90s.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:27 (nine years ago) link
Dylan O'Toole and bassist were from Wrekmeister Harmonies, but I have no idea what they were like. I have The Unquiet Sky (2005) and it's sludge with a bit of noise, nothing too different just less accomplished than the latest.
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:34 (nine years ago) link
!:
Wrekmeister Harmonies, led by musician and composer JR Robinson, is an experimental music collective based in Chicago, Illinois, United States. Named after the Béla Tarr movie Werckmeister Harmonies, it combines elements of drone music, serialism, post-rock, and heavy metal. Wrekmeister Harmonies typically performs a single composition, often almost an hour in length, beginning with a slow build, shifting into a cathartic middle section, concluding with either a peaceful or disquieting resolution
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:37 (nine years ago) link
Wow, second track is even better than the first.
def also have a soft spot for 90s hardcore and I can hear that on the indian record too now that you mention it
― original bgm, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:39 (nine years ago) link
mare cognitum kinda bored me after a while but maybe I just wasn't in the mood. but gonna re-visit since y'll seem so psyched on it (and cuz the cover is cool)
― original bgm, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:43 (nine years ago) link
skull fist record really is well-crafted
― original bgm, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:45 (nine years ago) link
I think this is the third time I'm mentioning Wizard Rifle in this thread -- I want to formally thank the folks who put this thing on their ballot. It's a keeper. Christ almighty. Am I nuts or am I hearing some Cirith Ungol in there? Killer cover art too.
On an unrelated note genre-wise, I had been wondering if any funeral doom surprises would show up in the list this year, but now I'm thinking probably not. Monarch is sort of funeral-y I guess and Mournful Congregation is nice. Were there any other noteworthy funeral doom records this year? Anyone knocked out by anything in that vein?
Can't wait for tomorrow's countdown continuation...
― Bloody Pelt Found Near the Scene of the Crime (Skrot Montague), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 03:55 (nine years ago) link
xps thanks seandalai
Wizard Rifle was my #1, they just keep delivering what I love most in metal, the skillful manipulation of tension and release for maximum drama, relentlessly piling waves of riffs and swirling chaos that suddenly crystallize into towering peaks with a kind of vertiginous clarity only to implode in on themselves
― anonanon, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 04:35 (nine years ago) link
The Oath and Wizard Rifle so far.
I think Guiltess, Indian's last album, is where they made a big leap in their sound, worth checking out.
― auto focus, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 07:22 (nine years ago) link
I liked The Oath a lot, reminded me of like a skeletal, streamlined version of In Solitude
― anonanon, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 07:32 (nine years ago) link
That Great Old Ones record is v good, will be going back to that, ditto Wovenhand. I need to check out Indian, The Oath, SKULL FIST, Fen, the list goes on!
― Ratt in Mi Kitchen (Neil S), Tuesday, 16 December 2014 09:22 (nine years ago) link
Of the few things I've checked out I'd say the Fen album has been my favourite so far, keen to hear the Wovenhand though.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 09:56 (nine years ago) link
Glad everyones enjoying the countdown. Some big albums/bands have started to appear now but can anyone guess the order?
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 12:28 (nine years ago) link
I'm encouraged by the love for Skull Fist. Hopefully everyone didn't sleep on Dawnbringer.

sund4r turned me on to this. He loved it
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 16:31 (nine years ago) link
I dunno if any of you have been following it but Erik Wunder has sacked Phil McSorley (from Cobalt) for his vile posts on facebook recently. Im glad he did this as mcsorley's recent posts inc attacking several fb friends of mine has been disgusting.
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 16:35 (nine years ago) link
yo Slop i never vote in this out of deference to those who've heard more than 3 or 4 metal albums this year
can vouch for the brilliance of the Petrychor
anything here I might like? sorry this is really selfish of me but just yknow 3 or 4 albums and i'm good
― imago, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link

louis you will like a lot of things on sund4r's ballot as well as mine. wont reveal those just yet but checked out stuff that's placed like Horseback, Thantifaxath, The Body, Myrkur, Mare Cognitum, Hail Spirit Noir , Wovenhand..
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 16:59 (nine years ago) link
The Thantifaxath album fucking rules
― ultros ultros-ghali, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
oh louis also check out Ulaan Markhor and Ambergris
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:02 (nine years ago) link
if any of you guys reviewed anything that has placed (or when I post stuff that you have reviewed) it would be very nice if you could posts links to it. I know lots of readers of this thread would appreciate it as would I. (I just dont have the time to do it myself as I need to find other links)
― Cosmic Slop, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:04 (nine years ago) link

never heard of this band but judging by the cover its death metal?
It's like a death metal band playing old-school heavy metal.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 16 December 2014 17:32 (nine years ago) link
whaaat never heard of them? That album is stellar and has been the subject of much rightful buzz!
