cool, yeah that Ripper is def along a death/thrash axis that I almost always want to hear (also note to Atheist fans, you know who you are, it's kinda like early Atheist)
the cavernous thing seems particularly prevalent among one-man bands/studio projects, and I chalk some of it up to a production quirk that obscures the fact that it's just one guy. With Domains, I remember listening on headphones one time, and realizing that the drums are probably played by someone from a keyboard/MIDI pad (despite what the credits say), rather than a real person, and would sound pretty ridiculous without a good amount of room-y reverb all over them (and everything else).
― Dominique, Monday, 7 March 2016 22:17 (eight years ago) link
Of course now I'm on my second listen of Fuscus and I'm already finding it way less murky and smothered than I did the first time through. The mind is a weird thing. Maybe it was because I wasn't following the lyrics this time and so wasn't focusing on the vox, which is where most of the reverb seems to be.
And that's weird about Domains, because one of the things I love about their album is how alive and real it sounds.
xpost I can't imagine two competing production styles on one album but I'd be interested to hear any examples. Hell I don't even like it when demos get tacked on to the end of a disc; I need my homogeneity!
― Devilock, Monday, 7 March 2016 22:37 (eight years ago) link
yeah, it's weird-- I think at the least, it's an electronic kit, but some weird performance things, like a ton of snare+cymbal hits that I know as someone who played a fair amount of keyboard drums on tracks is a lot more likely to happen there than from a real drummer on a kit. Also some too-isolated cymbal spacing. Drum *sounds*, as far as the samples themselves, are pretty easy to mask in a recording.
but yeah, that Wakedead Gathering is my favorite record so far this year, and happy to hear someone else is digging it.

browsing through this week's Invisible Oranges : Upcoming Metal Releases: 3/13/2016 – 3/19/2016http://www.invisibleoranges.com/upcoming-metal-releases-3132016-3192016/
this took my interest:
Plateau Sigma – Rituals | Avantgarde Music | Gothic/Death/Doom Metal/Darkwave | Italy
“Utilizing elements of the aforementioned darkwave as well as classic “Peaceville 3″ death/doom and Pink Floyd-tinged psychedelia, Plateau Sigma simultaneously remains rooted in their influences, but also transcends through coalescence. To rephrase, while undoubtedly influenced by the aforementioned trilogy, often alternating fluidly between the three, there are moments in which Plateau Sigma becomes something else entirely. A sum of their influences, sure, but efficient and effective in such a way that they become indistinguishable and Plateau Sigma rises above them something new: crushing, atmospheric, downtrodden, expansive. Something sad, painful, beautiful. Maybe there is a sublime ecstasy in pain.”

the fifth to infinity album is really really good. drummer from Opeth, guitarist from Winterkrig. Waaaaay heavier than Opeth. being sold as "blackened death," there's more battle-metal ala Amon Amarth in here than death metal really imo - anyhow it's really absorbing stuff. On Avantgarde.

is this really a necessary take, I think there's honestly enough discussion about the mighty unassailable great God Pop without us having to drag Australian metal into the whole thing. leave the dead to bury their dead imo

Yeah this sounded really good last time I heard it. Gotta get a hard copy of it.
Currently listening to the Electric Funeral 2LP on Southern Lord. Super noisy d-beat that is probably a bit much for two LPs, really, but the first one's sounding pretty good.

Skuggsjá, the piece that Enslaved and Wardruna were commissioned to write to celebrate 200 years of the Norwegian constitution (!) has been recorded and released as an album. It's really good.

the new Convulse album has been sitting in my Amazon cloud for two days and I keep forgetting about it.
no more! here we go
― Neanderthal, Sunday, 20 March 2016 13:43 (eight years ago) link
sounds nothing at all like any other Convulse release. a lot closer to what Tribulation did on their last one, with rock and roll/psych elements.
fairly sure the fanbase is gonna be divided on this one, I like it so far.....

If like me you can't get enough of the DMDS style done in a grimier, more hallucinogenic or otherwise weirder fashion, eg: Cultes des Ghoules or Hostium, there's Recitations' The First of the Listeners. The third song is all dark ambient, and completely awesome.https://recitations.bandcamp.com/

Absu in NY pretty soon, debating going. Tho I did go see Archgoat this wkd (speaking of Cultes des Ghoules style), and they were great. Pretty positive vibe too, for such a Satanic/blasphemous band -- nice candles/incense stage decoration. Openers were a Swedish black metal band called Valkyrja that I'd never heard of, but they were also good (great drummer too), in a very traditional black metal way.
Anyway, encouraged me to go to more metal shows. will check that Recitations too!

This Circus Maximus album is really great melodic progressive metal if you think you'd like Dream Theater better if they were a little more fond of the later Rush albums without so many 20-minute concept-suites.
