If anything I think the album could have used a couple more "breather" sections like that.

Two things: Pleiades' Dust is brilliant and I'm enjoying the Vektor album a lot more than I thought I would (I'm just not that big on thrash)

I have tried so much to appreciate Morbid Angel, but to this day I cannot remember how any of their songs go. Can't tell them apart. Except for the ones on that hilarious album a few years ago.

i do not like morbid angel. of course i'd never admit it. i do like the new vektor. and that weird buzzy orange pazuzu thing and chtheilist not that i can spell it plus howls of ebb. i've also been lurking due to slacking on music basically but hugs & hails to mtl ppl.

OK this Sxuperion album is pretty cool, violent black metal with a vaguely cosmic feel and death metalish vocals:

I want to compare it to Zemial but that isn't really accurate. Super monotonous/trance-inducing guitars, almost-almost qualifies for the Branca-metal thread.

^ I wholeheartedly concur with all of this, and also (especially) the kittens.
I came here to say that I can't not hear Vektor's 'Pillars of Sand' as Christina Milian's AM to PM, which slightly enhances it for me, if anything.

1) devilock, holy shit!!
2) not really metal, but on a metal label being serviced to metal pubs presumably because the drummer is from Alcest - Sylvaine, which is kinda Explosions in the Sky but ethereal-gothier...my resistance to midtempo shoegazey "post metal' is pretty strong but the groove here is nice, not breaking down any doors but pretty pleasant stuff

The Schammasch is much better than quite good! The ambient final third feels a little unnecessary imo, but the first two sides bring fury.
I'd recommend 'Metanoia' as a highlight.
― It certainly is punk of the Church of England to think that way (tangenttangent), Monday, 16 May 2016 10:48 (eight years ago) link
I liked Schammasch a decent amount but it really doesn't sustain the 100 minute run time. If they exercised some restraint/editing it could've been a killer... saying that, it never really gets too spectacular but enjoyable nonetheless.
As for Vektor I've listened to it through fully three times I think but keep going back to the first and last tracks becasue they honestly oveshadow everything else on the record entirely.
― ultros ultros-ghali, Monday, 16 May 2016 14:21 (eight years ago) link
I generally have a problem with that hollow guitar tone they use but it fits better during the more progressive moments than it does during the 'heavier' moments, which is why I suspect they use it.
― Neanderthal, Monday, 16 May 2016 14:32 (eight years ago) link
Vektor album reminded me of Ayreon

For those who'd like their Deafheaven and Alcest to be more orchestral, uplifting, saccharine and (mildly) folky, there's the new Skyforest record, Unity. I'm not sure if pushing the blackgaze thing *this* far is really the best idea, but he's at least pushing some boundaries. You know what they say...blessed are the cheesemakers.

Just earlier today I read that the Angelcorpse guys, past and present, have done the opposite: they have two bands, each one with the same members (Gene, Pete, drummer Ronnie Parmer), Kerasphorus being "the black-cloaked side of Angelcorpse."
― Devilock, Tuesday, 17 May 2016 22:26 (eight years ago) link

k so apparently Angelcorpse is playing at Ram's Head, and Repulsion is playing at Baltimore Soundstage, neither of which I have a ticket to at MDF. but the ticket is cheap enough to where it'd be worth buying for just one of the two bands.
who would you pick? Note: I've seen Repulsion once (blew my effing mind)

The singer from Kill The Client has a new industrial noise-grind band, BLK OPS. They've got two songs up on Bandcamp.
Here's some live video:

man this is smooth proggy barely-metal metal, the vocals have the Porcupine Tree post-Floyd/later Katatonia smoothness that I usually have a strong allergy to but the tunes are really doing it for me. barely qualifies for this thread at all imo, more "good rock music" than metal, but if any of the stuff I'm ref'ing here speaks to you you might give this one a listen

Probably Repulsion, but I've never seen them. From videos I've seen Helmkamp isn't the most exciting live performer...
