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

the new Alcest is superb. Best thing he's done in a decade

Booked a room on the 70000 tons of metal cruise today.
Emperor and Candlemass already confirmed

the bars on our ship never close - you heard us, bars that never close!

I'm not exactly teetotaling these days but I am pretty immune to the charms of the 24-hour bar at this point

Me too. Sadly not immune to Emperor tho.

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?
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 28 October 2019 15:16 (four years ago) link
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.
― Yelploaf, Monday, 28 October 2019 15:19 (four years ago) link
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...

new Wilderun is a serious, major upgrade
― Simon H., Friday, 1 November 2019 01:50 (four years ago) link
Omg the new Angel Witch is pretty inspired
― When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Friday, 1 November 2019 17:15 (four years ago) link
It practically sounds like it came out in 82
― When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Friday, 1 November 2019 17:25 (four years ago) link
I thought As Above, So Below was forgettable but this one has hooks everywhere
― When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Friday, 1 November 2019 17:27 (four years ago) link
I liked the last one so looking forward to this
― Vote (with a bullet) (Oor Neechy), Friday, 1 November 2019 19:37 (four years ago) link
On second listen, this might make my year end list.
This is as good as the last three Satan albums
― When I am afraid, I put my toast in you (Neanderthal), Saturday, 2 November 2019 01:04 (four years ago) link
As far as trad doom goes, the new Orodruin is mighty fine. I should check out their first album.
― pomenitul, Saturday, 2 November 2019 10:00 (four years ago) link
This Vastum is my kind of death metal.
― o. nate, Sunday, 3 November 2019 01:37 (four years ago) link
Yeah it's really evil

Dave Davidson from Revocation is an Anthony Braxton fan:
Went to the #BerlinJazzFestival last night and got to meet living legend Anthony Braxton.

Three new things I'm particular enjoying:
Finnish punk/rock/metal by IKINÄ: https://open.spotify.com/album/2UCiGRnp35IZR8ttel3RdX?si=VbVkUmqYQtS4MvRzqkWXvQHungarian symphonic power metal by Tales of Evening: https://open.spotify.com/album/7neSlMMIKmqeV7ZaGcJbLL?si=Ex4ZK-PAR9-ZBLmc1eUxGgA chaotic splatter of Norwegian solo-black-metal "albums" and EPs and whatever by Massemord: https://open.spotify.com/artist/018gIUaP08hROTOiVdiEQ3?si=NqADV275TDKOLBxezH6CEw

seeing Exhumed, Gatecreeper, Necrot tonight and I have just about zero gas left in the tank having gone to (and gotten drunk at) Slayer and King Diamond in the last four days. probably gonna just not drink, but really wanna see Necrot again, and Exhumed (don't really care about the rest).
album wise, digging the newest Angel Witch (like a fucking ton), Nile I haven't really played all the awy as I wasn't in the mood yet for it, the new November's Doom is sufficient bleak as well.

There's a new King Diamond song and it rules:

― Devilock, Friday, 8 November 2019 07:18 (four years ago) link
Yeah, liking this. How does his voice still sound so good?
― beard papa, Friday, 8 November 2019 21:17 (four years ago) link
stopped smoking after his heart attack, I'd imagine. boots I heard from the 90s weren't as kind.
live he sounded ridiculous the other night. this was one of the songs he played.
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Friday, 8 November 2019 21:21 (four years ago) link
ridiculous as in bad?
― beard papa, Friday, 8 November 2019 21:44 (four years ago) link
no, as in "unbelievably awesome for a 63 year old man"
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Friday, 8 November 2019 21:44 (four years ago) link
He sounds great these days, the 3-tiered stage & the theatrics are pretty cool too.
― Siegbran, Friday, 8 November 2019 21:45 (four years ago) link
New Esoteric sounds great on first listen. One hell of a dark trip.
― gman59, Saturday, 9 November 2019 08:06 (four years ago) link
really enjoyed it on headphones yesterday
― Brad C., Saturday, 9 November 2019 15:05 (four years ago) link
It’s a lot to digest, but I’ve been enjoying it as well. I can’t tell if the first song is my favorite or if I just can’t absorb much more in one sitting.
― beard papa, Sunday, 10 November 2019 01:14 (four years ago) link
listened to it all. would say good but not amazing, think i liked 'consuming lies' the best.
the wilderun, i must clarify, is one of the best prog-metal albums i've ever heard
― imago, Sunday, 10 November 2019 16:17 (four years ago) link
the last track on the Esoteric is amazing
― Vote (with a bullet) (Oor Neechy), Sunday, 10 November 2019 16:28 (four years ago) link
yeah that was good too. surprisingly major-key?
― imago, Sunday, 10 November 2019 16:29 (four years ago) link
Unsurprisingly the Esoteric is sounding incredible so far. I listened to half of a Wilderun track and regret that I persisted past the two minute mark (sorry, lj).
― pomenitul, Sunday, 10 November 2019 17:06 (four years ago) link
lol that recommendation certainly wasn't for you!
