As far as Bands That Should (Perhaps) Remain Unmentioned are concerned, I daresay the new Mgła is as good as Exercises in Futility.

Right now if you go to Amazon digital music and search for King Diamond there is a song from last Friday titled "In Your Pants" with the single having a cover featuring a picture of pants.
And it's just some computer boice saying something about pants backwards for three minutes over an electronic beat.

He only plays drums on this but it's not a million miles from HoE or Herxheim, slightly more standard primitive black metal vibes but jesus that guitar tone sounds like his amp is full of pus.

Its maker speaketh:
I know that every band has caught onto Deathspell Omega’s influence on extreme metal and that almost everyone right now is pushing to coax more chaos, more dissonance out of the genre. If I am moving in that direction as well, and I want to be remembered in ten years’ time, there has to be something truly remarkable about my methods. To that end, I believe I have mostly succeeded.

Yes this Mgla does nothing new vs the five previous Mgla/KMS albums and clearly if you’re not on board now you never will be but man is there any metal band around with a better drummer?

I mean this dude must be a dream to play off as a guitarist, you can just cycle through some random arpeggios, sit back and watch the fireworks.

Nobody seems to be talking about the glorious new Atlantean Kodex album, but then again it's Manowar style epic metal, not black metal. C'est la guerre. Still, underrated as they are it's so great to have that band back after too many years away.
― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 17 September 2019 00:40 (four years ago) link
I couldn't make it through a single track, and you know I like that style sometimes, certainly more than other folks hereabouts, but I may have just been in a bad mood that day.
In weird membership-switch news, Fred Leclercq, formerly of DragonForce, is now playing bass for...Kreator.

Pretty much.

Holy shit @ the Weeping Sores LP. Not disappointed in the least.
Mournfully melodic death/doom with an almost improvisatory streak and a judicious dosage of violin-led passages for maximum pathos. Doug Moore of Pyrrhon is the axeman. My jam.

I haven't heard any of Cult of Luna's previous albums but A Dawn to Fear is incredible. I liked Fear Inoculum well enough, but this one does a better job of justifying its sheer length.

― gman59, Friday, 20 September 2019 17:13 (four years ago) link
Catching up to stuff I missed this year and my favorite so far is Finland's Pyöveli - No Speed Limits. Pure thrash with excellent cardboard drums and dubbed out fills. Extremely groovy bass and that pissed, exasperated vocal approach that I love from Slayer and Possessed and, if I can stretch, Judge and Cro-Mags. It's only available on cassette from Portland's Headsplit which will deter many but it's a perfect album for the format.
