I haven't heard Le Secret but their latest is now my favourite after Souvenirs d'un autre monde.

The Vitriol album that came out in September is surprisingly great. Technical yet brutal death that has nice melodic flourishes.
Production does hurt the nuance a bit but it is nonstop pummeling energy.
They are opening for Cattle Decap

god the bill for that tour (Cattle Decap/Atheist/Full of Hell/Author and Punisher/Vitriol) makes that show very tempting

Yea i am very much there

On Tues
please report back, it's a little more than I like to spend on a gig (esp a weekday night gig!)
― Simon H., Sunday, 24 November 2019 04:45 (four years ago) link
Will do!
Glad i have the week off, Tuesday nights are usually tough otherwise

xpost shit's of poor sound quality (brickwalled), which was to be expected from a leak, but it's good stuff. idk if I'm as high on it as all of you (I miss the crazier grind from even as recently as Monolith of Inhumanity), and the melodic stuff is even more front and center, though it works far better than on the past album.
gonna give another listen when it's not 2 am
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Monday, 25 November 2019 07:04 (four years ago) link
I've never heard these guys and I'm not really into grind to begin with but I'll be sure to check out the new album.
― pomenitul, Monday, 25 November 2019 09:13 (four years ago) link
I feel like the newer stuff especially you can enjoy without being a huge grind fan. not to say they aren't extreme but they're more proper 'songs' than their stuff like Humanure (which I also like)
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Monday, 25 November 2019 12:28 (four years ago) link
I just wanted to type Humanure again
also an option: typing out the lyrics to Inpropagation by Carcass

that Maryland Deathfest lineup is insane.
I'm supposed to be part of a theatre festival that goes on at the same time (EVERY YEAR) and part of me is hoping we lose the lottery to be a part of it so I can go.
Dismember, Coffins, Cancer, Onslaught, Necrophobic, Exhorder, Demilich, Impaled (!!!), Monstrosity, Grave Desecrator, Skeletal Remains, Suffocation, Fuck the Facts, Cloud Rat, Negative Approach.....oof.

There is some bad, bad music on that list.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 00:42 (four years ago) link
Rammstein and Chelsea Wolfe are the only ones that look remotely appealing, although I have to say I'm intrigued by a band named Une Misère.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 00:54 (four years ago) link
Oh and Devil Master is supposedly good.

Way upfront for High on Fire, if me or my ears die tell everyone I loved Cloud Rat

Oh lord man. Good luck hearing for a week lol.
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 02:33 (four years ago) link
Regarding that Revolver list, I am baffled why that Jinjer thing is so popular these days. They are stupefyingly awful.
― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 04:22 (four years ago) link
I saw a Jinjer shirt at the show tonight and wondered wtf that was
Maybe it was the venue's sound but I wasn't feeling that HoF set; I left early :/
― Simon H., Tuesday, 26 November 2019 05:23 (four years ago) link
Could be. HoF are one of my fav live bands, but when I saw them at Psycho Las Vegas, the sound was so terrible it muted their raw power.
Sometimes you just aren't in the mood for a show too. Happens to me now and then.
― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 08:03 (four years ago) link
Love that 'oh shit we need to put Blood Incantation on the list or people will think we're squares' move.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 10:37 (four years ago) link
I like that Jinjer record pretty well. I'm not sure it would be top-25 for me, but it's easily my favorite thing on the Revolver list, which I suppose is consistent with the idea that it doesn't belong there.
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 14:56 (four years ago) link
That Revolver list is full of WTF, but cool to see Russian Circles making an appearance. Also kinda surprised to see Brutus up so high on it.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 26 November 2019 15:25 (four years ago) link
Well, scored algorithmically according to my listening data, Jinjer is in a 19-way tie for my #213 metal album of the year.
Wow was there a lot of good metal this year. I no longer even pretend to keep it all in my head. That's what we have computers for. They report that this is what it has been like for me (so far):

Listening to the Cattle Decap and it's not quite what I expected. So far, their 'tenor' got a few lols out of me (not a good sign) and if anything I'd rather the songwriting were grindier overall.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 26 November 2019 18:10 (four years ago) link
Full of Hell's sound is really bad tonight. I've seen them before and they usually sound better

PopMatters Best of 2019 list:
20. Copperhead - Gazing in the Dark19. Drastus - La Croix de Sang 18. Ossuarium - Living Tomb17. Have a Nice Life - Sea of Worry16. Dawn Ray'd - Behold Sedition Plainsong15. Yellow Eyes - Rare Field Calling14. Necropanther - The Doomed City13. Vimur - Triumphant Master of Fates12. PH - Osiris Hayden11. Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race10. Lord Mantis - Universal Death Church9. Immortal Bird - Thrive on Neglect8. Exhorder - Mourn The Southern Skies7. Esoteric - A Pyrrhic Existence6. Tomb Mold - Planetary Clairvoyance5. Baroness - Grey and Gold4. Inter Arma - English Sulphur3. Sunn O))) - Life Metal/Pyroclasts2. BIG|BRAVE - A Gaze Among Them1. Waste of Space Orchestra - Syntheosis
I like the #1 choice and a few others, but this is otherwise a typical twitter hive mind top 20: heavy on black metal (sorry, when I see black metal titles these days I dibs out instantly), ignorant of every metal subgenre that emphasizes melody save for that mediocre Baroness album as a token selection.
― A. Begrand, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 15:55 (four years ago) link
Good list, all things considered.

9. Immortal Bird - Thrive on Neglect
fuck, i completely missed that this record came out
― american bradass (BradNelson), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 15:56 (four years ago) link
I live the top 6 records for sure, nice to see some love for the BIG|BRAVE record and I think I'm one of the few people that really loves that Baroness record.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:07 (four years ago) link
I like the Baroness (it's not as good as Yellow & Green but it's better than Purple) and love both Sunn O))) titles, but otherwise that list has nothing to do with my experience of metal in 2019.
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:09 (four years ago) link
I strongly disliked the Baroness and didn't get much out of Pyroclasts but Life Metal will be in my top 50, alongside Blood Incantation, Esoteric, Tomb Mold, Inter Arma, BIG|BRAVE and Waste of Space Orchestra. Maybe Drastus as well.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:12 (four years ago) link
I definitely have nothing bad to say about Big Brave and Immortal Bird. Two tremendous bands! And 2019 was a great year for death metal.
― A. Begrand, Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:12 (four years ago) link
I've been surprised to see Immortal Bird on so few lists (so far)
― Simon H., Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:33 (four years ago) link
I remember really liking that Yellow Eyes record too, should revisit
Wish I could get into Dawn Ray'd cause their politics are great but they leave me cold for some reason
― Simon H., Wednesday, 27 November 2019 16:35 (four years ago) link
If you're looking for straight-up antifascist black metal, I recall the Bull of Apis Bull of Bronze record being pretty good.
