Rolling 2021 Metal Thread

Haven't listened to Rob Zombie in more than a decade. Second half definitely makes that song.

Man, I want to like The Body, but those vox are just ass.

Fart vocals?

Yep, helium flatulence.

lol. came here to sing the praises of I've Seen All I Need To See only to see the above comments. I mean, thats been the vocal style he's used forever. shocked me at first but I love its uniqueness and passion. This album sounds more like the live show than a lot of their recent releases. I love it.

AMG's January highlight is this progressive thrash album by Chileans Demoniac:

I've only sampled the first couple of minutes and it sounds quite promising even for the halfhearted thrasher that I happen to be.

Always stoked for new CC.

Really surprised by how fantastic the new Eximperitus­erqethh­zebib­šip­tugak­kath­šul­weliar­zaxułum album is.

the who now

fbclid=­erqethh­zebib­šip­tugak­kath­šul­weliar­zaxułum

ahaahahah

Nice.

oh they actually sound like something I'll like. cool, adding this to the growing list of impulse Bandcamp buys

Tech death band from Belarus, Eximperitus for short. The new one is giving me some classic Nile vibes, but it's just a mammoth ride and doesn't overstay it's welcome at, like, 37 minutes.

(Our beloved local caveman pointed out that I mistakenly posted this to last year's rolling metal thread, so here it is again…)

As much as it pains me to say it (again), Romanian metal mostly sucks balls, but this is actually good:

https://daius.bandcamp.com/album/ascuns

Folk, neo-Romantic quasi blackgaze with passionate vocals, some lovely melodies and a uniquely prominent nai (pan flute) part that manages to keep cheese at bay (Gheorghe Zamfir this is not). Daniel Neagoe is way too prolific for his own good so it's nice to hear him hit the bull's eye for once.

Outburn Magazine is returning to the print format. As someone who likes actual magazines, I approve of this and will likely subscribe.

This seems relevant to this thread: Roadburn Redux: 16-18 April, online edition, just announced its program.

* NEPTUNIAN MAXIMALISM will re-imagine their album 'Éons'
* SOLAR TEMPLE live debut, made up of members from Turia and Fluisteraars
* DUST MOUNTAIN (feat. members of Oranssi Pazuzu, Dark Buddha Rising, Death Hawks), live debut
* KAIRON; IRSE! perform 'Polysomn' in full

And loads more. Details here: https://roadburn.com/roadburn-redux-first-names-announced-for-2021-online-edition/

I've not been grabbed by online festivals since the rona started tbf, but this looks pretty promising!

* DUST MOUNTAIN (feat. members of Oranssi Pazuzu, Dark Buddha Rising, Death Hawks)

:D Knew you'd like that one! I've only learned of Kairon; IRSE since the album poll and have been playing it a lot, so I'm really looking forward to that one as well!

tbh all 4 of the bands you listed are v v v hype and I will be purchasing

Yeah! It's 'pay what you like', so you can't go wrong really. I've never attended Roadburn, sadly, but line-up wise it's always pretty much perfect.

new Armed song/video is absolutely sick

love that so much. never know whether to put them in here or the emo/screamo thread. love em. this and the closer album are probably my most anticipated of early 2021. both not really metal though

aaaaaahhhhhh

yellow-hat guitarist doing a full Cardiacs bit in the verse <3 <3 <3

Kinda surprised to hear gothic/death rock influenced metal coming from ex-Goreaphobia members but I dig this first song.

Shadows is a new dark avant-garde metal band from Immolation and ex-Goreaphobia guitarist Alex Bouks, who brought other former Goreaphobia members to the table. (...) Now Alex has returned to his musical roots in Shadows, with classic influences featuring Pink Floyd, Celtic Frost, Sisters of Mercy, Black Sabbath, Mercyful Fate or Voivod, and with musicians he always felt chemistry with, including Henry Piotrkowski and Jake G of the split-up Goreaphobia and Lance Walter of another Philadelphia unit, Dominance.

https://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/album/the-rib

'Compilation of material from a 2014 release (tracks 1 and 2) and the 2017 comp Frozen In Time III (track 3), both released by Black Horizons. The first two tracks are settings of poems from James Dickey's Drowning with Others. All sounds in track 3 are derived from processed guitar recordings.'

A good Gizmodo piece on how to spot Nazi metal bands. Potential sources of annoyance:

1) It's on Gizmodo, so it's aimed at non-metalheads ("Yawn, I know all this stuff already")
2) It's by K1m K3lly, so if you have beef with her, just don't click

why would someone have beef with her?

if you're stupid and hate women?

she's a target of those death metal blog idiots who tried to start a metal version of gamer gate

Lingua Ignota surprise release today:
https://linguaignota.bandcamp.com/album/agnus-dei

An EP that features covers by Iron Lung and two classical pieces.

pomenitul posted above about a Romanian band that was good despite the fact that Romanian metal mostly sucks.
Was thinking it was this amazing funeral doom record that came out today but it's not, so here's another solid Romanian project!

Mourners: Act I: Tragedies
http://personal-records.bandcamp.com/album/act-i-tragedies

Not on Spotify, alas.

It came out last year, so you can totally vote for it in the upcoming poll! I need to revisit it, though, as it was at the back of my mind when I (somewhat unfairly) said that Daniel Neagoe might be a little too prolific for his own good.

Also this is totally an insane hang-up of mine but I have a hard time with Romanians (and francophones) who sing in English, it just rubs my ears the wrong way.

Objectively a terrible way to listen to music tbh, but I can't help it.

It came out on CD today and I never heard it last year so it's a 2021 release for my pusposes.

a day or 2 left to nominate for 2020 metal poll.

2020 Metal ’n’ Heavy Rock Poll: NOMINATIONS Thread (open until the 8th of January 2021)

Revisited that Mourners album and enjoyed it far more this time around, so thanks for that, NYCNative. I'll add it to the 2020 list in case anyone wants to vote for it – and we can add it again next year as needed, the release date is ambiguous enough.

she's a target of those death metal blog idiots who tried to start a metal version of gamer gate

Yeah, I know about that, but she seems like a solid writer with good politics so I was wondering if there was some specific reason people here might dislike her.

I think this is probably the greatest song of all time.

(new single from the upcoming second album by Flight of Icarus; be warned that music may contain traces of ABBA-esque pop melody)

GOD FUCKING DAMN IT

Didn't expect my Sunday to include one of the members of Agoraphobic Nosebleed to be out here saying "actually the Nazis were left-wing", but here we are. pic.twitter.com/KtxSYUYlxW

ffs

Aaaaand here's the ass-covering follow-up tweet:

I was saying it was interesting how surprised ppl were to find out that Nazis, Hitler and socialism had a history from learning about racist black metal music, it was just stated very poorly

— Jay Randall (@agoraphobicnb) February 7, 2021

I think it's interesting how the fuckwit didn't research it properly

He's been posting and deleting a lot of dumb shit "both sides"-ism political takes since Biden took office so this is pretty unsurprising, but still disappointing nonetheless.

OT but everyone itt walking like this after Glenn McD's best song of all time

https://www.behereandnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Walking-on-Eggshells-in-Relationships.jpg

I did give it a go Glenn! Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal, and dare say the Abba ref is a feature, not a bug.

(xp) I might have responded to that Tweet.

You hear ABBA, I hear the closing credits of every anime ever.
