I seem to be in a strange virtual world with hydrocephalic avatar people so I must be in the plug.dj thing. And I am listening to Yob.

If you like the trippy stuff then proceed to Howls of Ebb's Vigils of the 3rd Eye.
Great call. I'm listening to this now and it's right up my alley. Thanks to everyone who helped run the poll and who voted in it - I've already discovered at least 4 great records here, and I've still got a lot of list left to listen to.

not heard of Fluisteraars until the mention upthread - good stuff. another one for my increasingly lengthy list

really loving the howl's of ebb's too - having a hard job convincing my wife and kids that it's good breakfast listening though

on the strength of last night's demonstration, adding Saor and Alcest to 2014's do not want list, no surprise

howls of ebb - additional apostrophes a well known side effect of xmas man-flu.

man-flu could be a name of a core band

I got Howl of Ebb after I cast my ballot, totally would've voted for it. Great trippy blackened deathness.

HOWLS
there's something about howls of ebb that just invites misspelling, isn't there!

Did they get way heavier recently? I haven't listened to the new one. Surprised to see them in this poll.

Anyway so yeah, I'm already looking forward to 2015, Melechesh and Lost Soul especially. I would love to be totally surprised by this Marduk album that's coming but I fear they're never gonna recapture whatever they were on during Romans 5:12. But please prove me wrong, Marduk!
Supposedly Leviathan has a new one on the way, too. Despite all the baggage, I'm hoping for something interesting.
― Devilock, Monday, 22 December 2014 20:40 (nine years ago) link
I never heard the last Leviathan - lots of lukewarm to negative reviews of it.

going to give the YOB another go.
my head has retuned unto this kind of groove in recent times ..
i may make more sense this time around.

jammin this vader record right now and it's really giving poking around google analytics a sense of grandeur
― original bgm, Monday, 22 December 2014 21:53 (nine years ago) link
That Vader record is great and probably the best album they've done in almost 15 years.
― Siegbran, Monday, 22 December 2014 23:22 (nine years ago) link
that vader record was on my ballot, it is fuckin awesome

DAmn... I wish I would've given that Piss Vortex a better listen...it would've been very high on my list.
― SeanWayne, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 03:27 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, that one's kind of interesting. I just gave it a first listen a couple nights ago. Like a grindy Gorguts.

I like a 14 song record in less than 15 mins.. lol

Yeah, Tibi et Igni is excellent. Lots of fun, not "experimental" or "progressive" to any discernible degree, just kick-ass thrashy death metal delivered w/ utter conviction (and a bit of unintentional humor). Probably not gonna displace De Profundis or Litany or w/e as anyone's very favorite Vader album, but damn near peerless in its niche. Problem w/ having been on a roll for 20-some years is that you never get to have the glorious comeback that makes everyone take notice.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 14:59 (nine years ago) link
Lol, missed Siegbran's comment. Best since Litany? Maybe so, but I don't know that it's such a massive improvement over, like, Impressions in Blood and Welcome to the Morbid Reich.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 15:02 (nine years ago) link
Haven't heard (or heard of) Piss Vortex. Not typically a grind fan, but curious...
...and shit yeah, Gorguts loom large, right there in the opening track's guitar tone. Good but mostly affirms my not-grindness. HC vocal bug.
― Adding ease. Adding wonder. Adding (contenderizer), Tuesday, 23 December 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link
Of the few grind records I've heard this year, I like the Brutal Blues album a lot more. The 'psychedelic' tag is weirdly fitting.

Mansion's Uncreation EP is up on Bandcamp now too! I nominated this one unheard.
https://weshalllive.bandcamp.com/
― jmm, Tuesday, 23 December 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
fuck, this brutal blues ep is killer! half the "psychedelic" seems to consist of vocal echo, but i love the manic repetitions, lazer streak guitars, natural-sounding kit, everything. never liked noxagt half this much.

also, was superstupid to cut alraune's the process of self-immolation from my list at the last minute. devastating album.

haha, just been listening to the longest track on the YOB record - this is basically a straight-up post-rock reboot of Wicked Game, lol @ all you hardcore metalheads
