Anyone else here fucking with Jorge Elbrecht's Coral Cross project? I know tangenttangent at least (& LJ too?)(happy birthday btw) got some mileage from the also-great Gloss Coma album he released this year, but Coral Cross is special: another strand of that experimental BM syncretism I was talking about a while ago, but Elbrecht pairs his black metal with spectral keyboards, chanting vox, eerie sound efx, & even some influence from John Carpenter's soundtracks. The resultant hybrid sounds goth af:

Yeah HB LJ! (couldn't find one thread among the dozens of ban lj threads, sheesh)
I'm def down for some BM w/ keys and chanting vox, will get on it!

Man, this Jorge Elbrecht rules. Had to check if it was the same guy who did some stuff with Ariel Pink (stuff I didn't care for), and it is. He's going all out here isn't he? Sounds... proggy as hell too?! This is my shit though, thanks for that DAM!

I voted so long ago that I wondered for a second if this was a new one.

― Oor Neechy, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 03:14 (four years ago) link
My ballot will be small but I will be voting

I have a ballot with about 15 albums on it, and a ballot with about 5 albums on it, and I'm deciding between them. Obviously tt's ballot will be like 50 or whatever, she is much more metal than me

Can anyone recommend any 2019 metal that's good to accompany an insane board game about birds? (imago says: 'not hatebeak')
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link
Not 2019 maybe but Satyricon “Black Crow On A Tombstone” is an anthem.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
of course 'bird-grind' is a thing

we need lots of 50 album ballots please!

I'm still listening until tomorrow afternoon then I start placements. I'm at 31 albums now, I imagine I can manage to get a 35 album ballot.
― Frobisher, Wednesday, 19 February 2020 06:01 (four years ago) link
I have my ballot together. Hope to submit it today.

I wish the old regulars who drifted away from metal would not only come back and vote but post on the threads too.The early days of the poll were really lively.

I'm here to watch. My metal listening has slowed to a total, er, dribble and I have nothing to contribute.

A late recommendation but I just discovered it in bouncing around listening to things, Chevelier - Destiny Calls is really good, or at least really interesting. It's I guess ostensibly some kind of nwobhm-revival sort of stuff, but it's very sparse and weird, and has female-fronted vocals that really do sound like some high priestess shouting incantations. I'm having trouble pinning it down, but it's not run of the mill its very strange and wonderful to me. Worth checking out!

Imprecation - Damnatio Ad Bestias has definitely moved up for me these last few weeks - would probably be in top 20/30 now.
