I know I can get entirely too hung up on this stuff, but "Progenie Terrestre Pura" is something like pure terrestrial children, which, uh, sets off alarm bells.So, is this like super racist sci-fi, only the pure left in the future?
I tried translating some of the lyrics, and I'm confident of the sci-fi part.

pretty certain they're not racist

all their lyrics are about robots and shit idk
Can't blame anyone for being jumpy but I'm pretty sure PTP are OK.

This sounds good on first contact. Some little sonic additions I was not expecting.

Wow, the new Zeal & Ardor is good.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 16 June 2018 12:36 (six years ago) link
It is undeniably ear-catching. I'm choosing to jettison the conceptual framework and embrace it as just a gospel-flecked rock record.
― Simon H., Saturday, 16 June 2018 13:04 (six years ago) link
Grayson Currin's review in Pfork today offered a potentially viable defense of the concept, mind
― Simon H., Saturday, 16 June 2018 13:29 (six years ago) link
Kinda, but I read the link where he supposedly 'smartly answered' criticisms, and I'm not sure I buy it. Whether or not an artist explains a concept to my satisfaction doesn't necessarily determine if I find the concept satisfying, though.
― Frederik B, Saturday, 16 June 2018 13:36 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I'm choosing just to enjoy it as a hook-dense rock album.
― Simon H., Saturday, 16 June 2018 13:41 (six years ago) link
The sound really works this time, where on the first I thought it sounded a bit gimmicky. I love metal for constantly figuring out new sounds, and the dodgy ideas behind it comes with the territory.

From Fallen Empire's newsletter:
Upon deeper introspection, it became clear that the path of continuity is not the one that should be followed. Instead, we divert, and march blissfully towards our demise.Fallen Empire will end sometime during the back-half of 2018. In addition to the five new releases that are going up now, there are at least seven more that will surface before the year is out.

Just got a passive-aggressive email from a label saying, "If you don't check out these last two promos, we're culling you from our list!" and you know what? Fuck this band, and their label too.

brilliant two-fer touring soon: Sumac + Dalek
― Simon H., Friday, 22 June 2018 12:30 (six years ago) link
Nice! Poor Dalek came to London a couple years ago to an audience of about fifteen to twenty people. I bought a shirt at least
Oranssi Pazuzu last night were great. And they ended with what felt, if anything, like an extended Vasemman Kaden Hierarkia, which was of course the song I'd spent £40 on gig tickets to hear. And they played it! And it was the best thing

That awful promo is for the band Northern, formerly known as Cold Northern Vengeance. Their old identity has 12 monthly listeners on Spotify. The new one (the record came out in April) has 8.

enjoying the new Khemmis so far. they've played up more of the heavy metal side of their sound though the doom is obv still there.
lots of tasty harmonized guitar leads - rumor has it metalheads like that sort of thing? who knew

Can't link from my phone, but some very serious allegations have been made against Maynard from Tool/APC.

jesus fucking christ that is horrible
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 25 June 2018 17:39 (six years ago) link
I saw APC that same summer and have a rather horrible feeling at the pit of my stomach pondering whether anything might have gone down there.
― Simon H., Monday, 25 June 2018 17:43 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I saw that NIN tour too.
On a very different note, I get that Tom can do whatever he wants with his art, but Triptykon are a really fucking good band, and to see them reduced to a "special Celtic Frost set" because human-jukebox shows pay better is a fucking bummer.

On a totally different note, the new Anicon is wonderful - much like the Tomb Mold, a sonic upgrade that sacrifices a little grime and mystery but somehow preserves what makes them great

Yeah, I love that Anicon. Loved their debut from a couple years ago and this seems even better. That definitely have their own sound.
