Dunno if there's a new rolling stoner/psych/doom/whatever thread so I will say that the new Moon Curse album is really good.

If you don't mind metal that sometimes doesn't bother to plug in, this Ukrainian folk-metal-ish band [Ті, що падають вгору] is pretty good!spotify:album:6XnXXcYh9nHS8w2Oqui1gcI tried to figure out what people call them in non-Cyrillic characters, but near as I can tell, nobody ever calls them anything in non-Cyrillic characters.

I tried to figure out what people call them in non-Cyrillic characters, but near as I can tell, nobody ever calls them anything in non-Cyrillic characters.
It's a stretch to call it metallic though.

I heard a Violet Cold album last year, it was fucking dreadful. As far as I recall it's basically the cheesiest Euro-dance chord progressions with some idiot rasping over it.

― The Call Of Cthulow (Cosmic Slop), Sunday, 21 February 2016 00:12 (eight years ago) link
Last year's Violet Cold album was one of my favorites of the year. I don't have chord progressions I do or don't consider appropriate for metal, though, and even without that it doesn't surprise me if not everybody likes it. It's like laptop Alcest.
(It doesn't sound anything like EDM, regardless.)
― glenn mcdonald, Sunday, 21 February 2016 00:18 (eight years ago) link
I don't consider anything "inappropriate" to mix with metal. I might be remembering what it sounded like a bit wrong because I couldn't take it for too long and I'm sure as hell not going back there now

Here's another new Oranssi Pazuzu song to fucking drive me crazy until I get my copy:

There's been some discussion of Ved Buens Ende/Virus/Fleuerety on the EXTREME METAL thread, here's a new album in that ill-defined genre by Pogavranjen:
http://pogavranjenband.bandcamp.com/
Never heard of these guys before but it's pretty solid stuff. Better than Seasons in the Abyss!!!!!!!
― gamelan ankylosing spondylitis (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 21 February 2016 10:32 (eight years ago) link
The wait for the new Oranssi Pazuzu is painful to me too.
I heard that Pogavranjen album recently, the Virus impression is a bit too on the nose, it was kind of distracting.
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Sunday, 21 February 2016 14:31 (eight years ago) link
Didn't bother me but that can be a danger when you're trying to play what is essentially a one-band genre.
― gamelan ankylosing spondylitis (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Sunday, 21 February 2016 15:22 (eight years ago) link
At least the new OP song is amazing, unless it goes crap in the last 5 minutes (unlikely, but the stream won't load for me past a certain point for some reason). I'll have to wait until I get it.
― space prophet wogan (ultros ultros-ghali), Sunday, 21 February 2016 15:36 (eight years ago) link
Yeah that tune is fucking crazy great. 3 days until my copy gets here. Hopefully.
Also found out that Relapse reissued Sacrilege's "Behind the Realms of Madness" mini-LP with a bunch of bonus tracks, recommended for fans of early metallic crust/crusty metallics.
― gamelan ankylosing spondylitis (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 23 February 2016 09:51 (eight years ago) link
Weird that no one has ever reissued their trad-doom album Turn Back Trilobite, but maybe they're ashamed of it.

Cult of Luna have recorded a new album with Julie Christmas on vocals throughout. Five tracks, 55 minutes. I haven't listened to it yet, but I'm intrigued.

exactly. every song builds to the most predictably corny climax possible and then hangs out there for 4 mins

This description, modulo the value-judgments, is pretty much why I think it's great, too.

https://entropia.bandcamp.com/album/ufonaut
Entropia is a Black Metal band from Poland, shimmering with psyche-rock elements but not at the expense of heaviness or a more traditional black metal vibe than most who proudly take on the post- prefix and -gaze suffix.
Ufonaut is their second album. Released on 2/15 through Arachnophobia Records.

Luc Lemay comments, “As our EP ‘Pleiades’ Dust’ consists out of a single long narrative composition, it was not written with the intention of being edited in segments. As the storyline proceeds in chapters though, I was able to isolated this part called ‘Wandering Times’ which will give the listener a good idea of the composition aesthetics which are present throughout the whole piece.
