rick astley is Chilean?
― Vote (with a bullet) (Oor Neechy), Friday, 25 October 2019 09:44 (four years ago) link
I'll look into it.
Oh yeah, and the new Alcest, Spiritual Instinct, is out today too. Reviews appear to be quite positive overall.

not metal exactly, but Föllakzoid make nice Chilean space rock
― Captain ACAB (Neil S), Friday, 25 October 2019 09:45 (four years ago) link
They're a great band... in a Neu!/Hawkwind hybrid zone
There was a Pentagram from Chile and their demos are worth seeking out if you dig the death/thrash sound. Death Yell (lol) were another solid old school Chilean band.
Nar Mattaru, Slaughtbbath, Uttertomb, Invincible Force and Atomic Aggressor are all good to great modern metal bands from Chile.

oh and Ripper! One of the few modern thrash bands I rate.
Thanks, all. I'll check them out.
For now, Unaussprechlichen Kulten (unspeakable cults?) is really hitting the spot.

Condenados were great. (the band I was talking about above)
― Vote (with a bullet) (Oor Neechy), Friday, 25 October 2019 11:01 (four years ago) link
I do enjoy the new Mayhem. It's pretty aggressive without purely just being a back to roots thing, still plenty of angular moments.
One of the riffs sounds like the Inspector Gadget.

Cautiously optimistic about the new Mayhem, I was surprised to read the glowing and practically fawning 4.5 review at Angry Metal Guy, since they typically don't really love anything over there.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 25 October 2019 15:26 (four years ago) link
Oh they love all kinds of stuff, like melo power prog and proggy power melo, preferably from the US.
― pomenitul, Friday, 25 October 2019 15:28 (four years ago) link
Ha, yeah, I just meant more the final score. I can't tell you how many glowing reviews turn into a 3.0 rating, usually along with a complaint about DR scores.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 25 October 2019 15:33 (four years ago) link
Mayhem’s post-De Mysteriis discography is really strong and varied, only Chimaera was a bit redundant. Quite looking forward to hearing the new one. Timely since I finally saw Lords Of Chaos which is much better that I feared but still feels like it was designed by committee.

I'm an idiot; a bunch of those TONS of great Chilean bands I referred to are actually from Peru :(
I know Holydrug Couple are from Chile; they get lumped in w Follakzoid a lot. And this was one of my favorite albums from last year, as almost like a South American Daydream Nation

New Vastum (Leila Abdul-Rauf's band) is very good, if you're into atmospherically-inclined death-doom.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 26 October 2019 10:09 (four years ago) link
Pyroclasts is kind of boring compared to Life Metal, partly because Hildur Guðnadóttir's input is less audible.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 26 October 2019 10:39 (four years ago) link
Both Pyroclasts and Ecosystem have lived up to the hype for me. Been a good week for metal.

On follow up listens this is my fav Mayhem since Wolf Lair.
I doubt many Ordo fans will agree but it's just me

I’m not a drinker, but on a cruise ship it’s nice not to have time restrictions on booze or fro-yo.
― beard papa, Sunday, 27 October 2019 04:09 (four years ago) link
Very much agreed. And so Alcest remains the gold standard for blackgaze.

Anyone know what’s up with the NWN forum. It’s been down for a couple weeks, coincident with the Never Surrender Fest which raised some antifa awareness. Wondering if the two are related.
― Yelploaf, Monday, 28 October 2019 14:52 (four years ago) link
Yeah, it seems like there's a connection there...

Does anyone know if the Pyroclasts vinyl comes with a download code?

Thanks for the info. I was really enjoying the thread about Indian metal over there. Hope it comes back with maybe a few less Nazis this time.

You can order the vinyl from their Bandcamp page and get digital that way.

oh man the new Vastum is SO good
― With an Extreme Burning (aka The Tormentor) (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 13:46 (four years ago) link
I haven't heard a note of Leprous's previous albums, but their latest is a) definitely-not-metal and b) squarely aimed at the The Voice crowd. What a waste of pipes.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 14:20 (four years ago) link
Is it that bad? I haven't checked in on Leprous since Coal and The Congregation, which I recall being pretty decent progressive metal.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 14:27 (four years ago) link
It's art rock with an overwhelmingly melodramatic slant. I have a high tolerance for the stuff but this was too much for me. YMMV, of course.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 14:29 (four years ago) link
I love Leprous, but I agree that they are precessing away from metal...
