nazi Shining is from Sweden and still makes black metal as fas as I know/care, former jazzbo shining are from Norway

One other note re Shining: I mentioned on Twitter that the first line of that song is a straight-up steal from Nickelback, and the band replied that yes, it was.

and yeah it's a weird world where there are now _two_ shitty metal shinings but i guess they had nowhere go to from "live blackjazz" but down, so i can't begrudge them too much for going that way with a vengeance.

Can't believe I haven't mentioned it here but Nachash put an album out on Shadow Kingdom
http://shadowkingdomrecords.bandcamp.com/album/phantasmal-triunity
Occulty epic weird black metal with death elements (and I swear I hear some Amebix/Axegrinder in some of the riffs), they have that left-field feel that means they probably listen to a lot of Eastern European and Mediterranean 1.5th wave stuff. And Samael maybe.

Neckbeard Deathcamp interview on Bandcamp Daily...
What do you think is it about black metal that it developed this particular white nationalism streak? One doesn’t automatically leap to racism when one thinks about death metal or metalcore or, say, EBM.KOMRADEZ: BLACK METAL IS AN OUTSIDER ART FORM. NAZIS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED IN ANY OTHER COMMUNITY, SO THEY STARTED CIRCLE JERKING IN BLACK METAL, WHERE THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD STROKE THEIR EGOS AND MASK THEIR INSECURITIES IN PEACE. BLACK METAL WILL NO LONGER STAND FOR RACISTS. HAIL BLACK METAL, HAIL VICTORY.

Just now starting to make my way through this year's RM, but gotta go ahead & ask: What 2018 Motorhead-type bands should I check, also what Japanese psychmetal etc, and if there is a 2018 Japanese mirroshades Motorhead Mad Max band (or non-Japanese version of the rest of that), please mention. Would like throat sounds more Lemmy than Cookie Monster.

There's a new Hate Eternal album coming out in October. I'm about four tracks deep (out of nine) now and while I don't like it as much as their last one, it's good.

Huntress singer Jill Janus has committed suicide.
I saw them perform two or three times, and met her once. She seemed nice, and mildly nuts, but in a theater-girl sort of way, not a manic/suicidal sort of way. And I liked their music; they weren't great, but they got better with every album.
― grawlix (unperson), Thursday, 16 August 2018 20:21 (five years ago) link
well, shit. I agree that Huntress's albums were on an improving path, but I also think "Eight of Swords" is a woefully under-appreciated shoulda-been classic.

the pace of my life, and the huge amount of stuff I want to know about, means it can take me an age to get around to something -- the more interested I am in it, the less likely I am to just play it as soon as I download it (physical releases have a better chance, because I drive to & from the office almost every day, so they go directly onto the passenger seat, where their presence reminds me: play this thing you bought). anyway, this morning, after listening to the Malsanctum album on Iron Bonehead (which is super interesting funereal doom SORT OF but bleaker than most of what you think of in that vein -- it reminds me of Khanate's Catch and Release, I think, though admittedly I haven't listened to that record in 10 years so grain of salt there. Reminds me of how I remember Catch and Release, anyway), I finally got around to Mesarthim's The Density Parameter...
...this is really super good. It's more derivative of Summoning than they used to be, which I probably shouldn't be surprised about -- they were on the tribute album a couple years back -- but their keyboard lines are totally different, more lyrical / less proto-dungeon-synth -- and, if Summoning's guitar lines can't be bettered (they can't), this has its own strengths -- the long tracks really crescendo into huge payoffs, immensely satisfying stuff...I think this band merits a lot of close listening, even if when they favor the synth harder than I like (Pillars) I tend not to connect as much...but damn. Mesarthim makes very good and interesting music.

:) nice to have you on board JCLC. correspondingly i have started listening to the new summoning album of late and found it delightful. i shall enjoy diving deeper into their body of work. they know their way around a tune

Booming post JCLC.
the more interested I am in it, the less likely I am to just play it as soon as I download it
God yes. Though I started playing the Malsanctum album right away after reading your post (the Khanate ref sealed it). Will get to Summoning straight after.
― lbi's life of limitless european glamour (Le Bateau Ivre), Thursday, 23 August 2018 16:17 (five years ago) link

Youse lot should listen to Nishaiar if you're into soft, ambient, spacey metal. They've already released two albums this year on bc (I haven't heard the more recent one though).

Revising my statement on the new Convulsing - it's definitely got its harsh moments but there's also some epic, post-y parts (albeit still slathered in grime).
Also the new Innumerable Forms on Profane Lore is excellent death/doom, RIYL recent Mortuous, Tomb Mold, etc.
