Northwest Terror Fest lineup is pretty badass. I'd like to try to get to that.

Whitesnake used to count as metal. I wrote about them for Burning Ambulance today.

speaking of things that may or may not count as metal, the Marissa Nadler / Stephen Brodsky collab album sounds pretty dope if this advance track is anything to go by. stoked to hear what they'll do with GnR's "Estranged"

Slide It In was a formative gem for me and I still break it out from time to time.

Getting unsurprisingly strong Chelsea Wolfe vibes. I'm a sucker for this stuff, so I look forward to the rest.

I want Nadler, Wolfe and Anna von Hausswolff to team up as the macabre antimirror of Boygenius

literally collaborated with The Body last year!!!

Hmm, that might be worth a 2h (well, 4h in all) coach ride. I don't really know anything about Author & Punisher or RIOTMILOO, though.

I literally teared up at the Ignota show I went to. She's incredible live.

would be honoured to hang out w/ pomenitul tho so consider it yes!

Likewise, imago. I'll see what I can do!

I actually saw Author & Punisher open for The Body not too long ago. Was cool. Builds his own "instruments". Pretty interesting to watch him use his gear and figure out whats going on. I dig his homegrown mic a lot.
Yeah the Ignota show I saw last year was quite emotional as well. Played in the middle of the crowd.
― gman59, Tuesday, 12 March 2019 18:46 (five years ago) link
I think I'd like to see Author & Punisher live just to watch him play with his machines, but the actual music is pretty basic industrial that anybody could make with a laptop. He's challenging himself to find hard ways to do things that can be - and is - done much more easily.

This one will probably wind up high on my AOY lists. Just a wonderful, angry as shit record.

The new Vircolac album is sounding pretty good to me right now:
https://vircolac.bandcamp.com/album/masque
― o. nate, Friday, 15 March 2019 01:11 (five years ago) link
With a name like that, I expected a proper Romanian band. Turns out it's more cultural appropriation by the Irish, as though Bram Stoker weren't enough.
(Just kidding, of course. I'll listen to a band called Vîrcolac no matter where they're from.)
― pomenitul, Friday, 15 March 2019 09:15 (five years ago) link
sounding cool!

'so i hang from a wretched tree' exists magnificently at the nexus of black, death and punk
― PPL+AI=NS (imago), Friday, 15 March 2019 09:38 (five years ago) link
The new album was recorded after my friend JG left the band and I haven't got around to hearing if they've changed much since. They were a deadly live band before, though.

Here's a couple of Twitter-length reviews of albums that came out this week that I like...
.@EugenicDeath Under The Knife(@HandHRec)Unexpected Krishna-core, powerfully guttural vocals, and an abundance of circle pit-inducing riffs & double bass that merge Violence and "How Will I Laugh" ST separates these Tarheel thrashers from other revivalists. #TwitterLPReview pic.twitter.com/5W7hFNjOiy— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 16, 2019
Stream "Under The Knife" by @EugenicDeath via @Bandcamp https://t.co/NfsK1LegM6— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 16, 2019
.@HotLunch_SFUnder The Knife(@teepeerecords)Not sure about the scatological moniker (Google it at your own peril) but when you crank like a Motor City V8 with a touch of psychedelia befitting a San Francisco zip code, you can call yourself anything you want. #TwitterLPReview pic.twitter.com/yUhxPyRA4n— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 17, 2019

Beastmaker put out another four-track EP last month:
https://beastmaker.bandcamp.com/album/eye-of-the-storm
https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1420143793_16.jpg
New logo, too!
Seems like Beastmaker is back to being a full band. The 10 EPs were Trevor Church doing everything, but all three members are credited on the new one.
― grawlix (unperson), Tuesday, 19 March 2019 13:00 (five years ago) link
Man I have to catch up on all of that Beastmaker stuff. I liked the first two albums but I missed the EPs until there were so many I felt way behind.
Surprised by how much I like the Devil Master album. They'd had such corny promo photos that I didn't really think I'd like it, but that breakneck punk death metal really scratches an itch for me. I haven't been really wowed by much new metal yet this year, even the new Overkill, while fine, felt like a step backwards.

Phil Anselmo was supposed to play two shows in New Zealand next week; in the wake of the Christchurch shootings, both have been cancelled by the venues, because of the video of him shouting "White power!" and throwing a Nazi salute onstage in 2016. Whoops!
