Some things I recently did #TwitterLPReviews for (and a capsule review for Invisible Oranges)
.@wearebrutus - Nest (@sargenthouse)It lacks the immediacy of the Belgian trio's 2017 debut 'Burst,' but makes up for it by incorporating a ton of raw ideas into the album. This spirals the band's post-rock into a dozen directions yet they never lose the plot. #TwitterLPReview pic.twitter.com/JWGXg6FzXD— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 30, 2019
Magic Circle - Departed Souls (@20buckspinlabel)Most bands that ape Sabbath lose sight that they were more than doom. Magic Circle taps into the other, often overlooked facets of the Brummie originators with an organic Foghat plod. Oh yeah, they got songs too. #TwitterLPReview pic.twitter.com/9zE1T36YR6— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) March 30, 2019
I say that @exumerofficial's 'Hostile Defiance' (out 4/5 on @MetalBlade) is "a frenetic, furious assault that transcends the nostalgia tag by kicking so much ass it doesn’t matter what decade it came out" at @invisoranges.https://t.co/7XDMpmw6Ww pic.twitter.com/F2UYTIJVpn— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) April 1, 2019
Falaise - A Place I Don’t Belong To(A Sad Sadness Song)Italian duo makes the most lush and beautiful blackgaze. Lilting pianos and clean guitars make the metallic elements seem heavier but even that's more about ornate atmosphere. Deafheaven fans take note. #TwitterLPReview pic.twitter.com/egpIl9ij2v— Brian O'Neill (@NYC__Native) April 1, 2019

Does anybody want to take over PopMatters' metal column? The dude who's been writing it for a while is stomping off in a snit because people got pissed at him for telling them they were devoting too much time to rooting Nazis out of metal.
I've decided to can MetalMatters. It has become apparent to me over the last couple of days that it is a waste of timing running a feature that exists to promote cool music. Simple reason: all folks want to do is bicker about politics on here, suppress any opinion that doesn't...— Dean James Brown (@reus85) April 3, 2019

wanna share it, anyone? i'm serious. i'd love to pitch 'em on a team of people taking it over.
it looks like others were writing it with him ... wonder what their status is.
after he posted that, the eic at popmatters tweeted "actually, we're keeping the column" ... but it looks like she might've deleted that?

like...there's no Vasemman Kaden Hierarkia there but I think it's a much more consistent and dynamically-structured album than anything they've put out on their own. it's stunning imo

Hmmm yeah I was a bit more dismissive than I ought to have been, though I stand by my point, I just don't like it as much as I'd like to. The last track alone is undeniably spectacular.

I’d be really happy to assist with this if you decide to approach them! I’ve been idly wondering about starting a metal and prog...blog for a while now, but writing with a team would definitely be more fun! I know I’m kind of a low key poster, but my thoughts on metal do usually amount to more than ‘the new Astronoid album is so cute’.
