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.

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.

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.

Loving the Cloud Rat album so much. My favorite yet.
― 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.

Misthyrming dude turns out to be a moron, haven't heard the new one but reviews are mixed. I don't consider these moronic opinions "fuck your music, then" stupid but they're...stupid. maybe he's like 16 years old? otherwise...dude.

The Misþyrming is really good. And if dude's got edgy, juvenile opinions, that just seems like par for the course? It also sounds like he himself is depressed (shockah!) and has latched on to Petersonian twaddle as a way of dragging himself out the ditch.

that said the excerpt of the Blasphemy interview is a mixture of scary and hilarious. if they had been born ten-fifteen years later they probably would've been a beatdown hardcore band.

Enjoyed the new Atlantean Kodex album, doesn't sound much different to the earlier albums, its still mid-paced epic doom mixed with epic metal and thankfully not high on cheese.
Fills the spot While Heaven Wept used to until they dumped the doom and embraced full on cheese. (and by god that last album was utter shit)

Re: Exhorder
I interviewed Killing Joke when they did Dirt and Various Repressed Emotions and I mentioned how Ministry was kind of an influence and Jaz spit back at me "Don't you mean the other way around?"
And he wasn't wrong of course, but I clarified that Ministry took the original KJ sound and then ramped it up and adding more metallic moments which is how that album KJ album sounded to me at that time. It's certainly not the first or last time that a band was influenced by someone and then took it back, so to speak.
Anyway, that's what Mourn the Southern Skies feels like: They influenced Pantera who accentuated some key facets of the originators and added their own touches, and now the comeback sounds more like Vulgar Display of Power than Slaughter in the Vatican. This isn't bad but Pantera baggage is sometimes heavier than the sledgehammer riffs these days... But I do like the record for the same reasons I liked Pantera 25 years ago for what it's worth.
