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.

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:

― 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.)

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

.@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!

I love both advance tracks, very much looking forward to the album. sounds like a bold step up from the debut, which I already liked.

The forthcoming Inter Arma record is really great based on my first play through the entire thing.Lots of interesting ideas the second half of the album, especially.

The new Amon Amarth video is...something I'd expect from a band on Napalm or AFM. There was a time I'd pre-order an Amon Amarth album the day it was announced. Not this time. I can't even remember the last time I listened to their previous album. Twilight of the Thunder God and Surtur Rising are the last ones I have real fondness for.

awesome. I loved the new one they did live, and their live show is fantastic, hearing all the old The Key classics played flawlessly. half the time I've seen them play for $7 or less too.

I have heard the new Sunn O))) album. It's very good, mostly due to Hildur Guðnadóttir, who plays cello (acoustic and electric) and halldorophone, and adds vocals to the first track. It's gonna sound really, really good through big-ass speakers.
