I Have Opinions.
I Agree With Said Opinions.
And I second Sund4r's repping for Adam Cicchillitti & Steve Cowan.

This Kaatayra is really lovely. Don't think I'd heard this one before.

9:30 into "Stygian III" from the Atramentus album, the album is good but this track is amazing so far. The vocals are a little reminiscent of Tibetan throat singing at moments.

It reminds me a little of the Mournful Congregation album I own and should listen to more often.

Philippe Tougas and Claude Leduc are also members of Chthe'ilist, another awesome Longueuil band that can hang with the best of the Greater Montreal tech death crew.

I just heard the Atramentus album yesterday and REALLY liked it. I think he's getting the croaky vocals partly from Demilich (a definite influence on Chthe'ilist).

Yeah, both that and the Tibetan throat singing comparison strike me as very much otm.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 03:09 (three years ago) link
ok, maybe listening to funeral doom while working is a bad idea bc i moved on quickly after sampling when the atramentus record first came out. but playing it again tonight and it really is pretty sick.
fave dirge of the year is still the expanded oksennus. pairs nicely and theres no chance in hell it is placing so -

85. Cirith Ungol – Forever Black
Surprised this isn't higher; it made my top 10.
76 TIE. Dola – Dola
This was my #2 and I think I turned some people onto it in the Rolling Metal thread.
71. Melted Bodies – Enjoy Yourself
This made the Top 15 on my list and I know I turned some people onto it in the Rolling metal thread.
There were also a few things I liked enough to but didn't quite crack my Nifty Fifty (Vile Creature, Pyrrhon, Drown)

what's the deal with the Ungol? everybody I talked to either says Jesus has returned to walk among us or that it was a tepid pile of horse dung. feels like a weird polarized reaction where you'd normally see some lukewarm. but maybe I walk in atypical circles.
why?

Apparently I saw this band without realizing that MM was screaming bilingually. Based on the printed lyrics, I think she writes much better in French than in English but, even when I read while listening, I don't really know how to connect what I'm reading with what I'm hearing.

I never pay attention to metal lyrics unless they're ineluctably intelligible.

was in a heavy metal parking before a slayer show a few years ago before the fall of new york and a coors light banner advertising plane flew by while i happened to be drinking a cold coors light tall boy and all was right with the world at that particular moment in time
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Wednesday, 10 March 2021 04:56 (three years ago) link
maybe have had a few too many cold coors lights tonight because that is perhaps only semi comprehensible after a second pass but i hope the underlying spirit made it thru

It was all about the Big Rig Alpha Bomb IPA tonight.

had some sake with dinner and then whiskey after that so i am posing hard tbqh
would absolutely drink a cold coors light in a heavy metal parking lot the second that opportunity presents itself again however

the last track on stygian really is something. genuinely takes you places. but man, they kinda flub the ending with the blastbeats. and then, adding insult to injury... a fadeout!

Svalbard sounding like something I ought to like. Let's see if that actually happens. Inevitable not-as-good-as-Rolo-Tomassi thoughts looming

There's some...Mew in the mix? Paging Sund4r

The melodic resolution at the end of Click Bait might have just put me off this lot for good
― imago, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 11:26 (three years ago) link
let's pro/con this
+ Mew+ convincing performances from players + vocalist+ post-metal dynamics done pretty well+ the occasional decent melody
- forcing a Rolo Tomassi comparison even though pointedly comparing two post-hardcore UK bands with female vocalists probably goes against everything they stand for idk- many of the melodies are CORNY- I'm led to believe that the lyrics aren't all that so I'm not listening out for them- it all sounds very, very familiar, and their USP appears to be those aforementioned lyrics
but Mew!
someone help an ilxor out here
― imago, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 11:36 (three years ago) link
Came here to say:
- Sounds like Mew mixed with the vocalist from Atreyu doing a Bristol accent - very confusing.- Might be too emo even for me.- Might not.

Got to listen ahead of imago in these polls. That opening track IS lovely though. Not sure I could listen to a whole album of it.
― tangent x (tangenttangent), Wednesday, 10 March 2021 11:42 (three years ago) link
Glad I stuck out the post-rock until the second track of the Boris/Merzbow album. Wow!

they just wound Merzbow up and let him go, all over their sludge-rock
― imago, Wednesday, 10 March 2021 13:37 (three years ago) link
Important to add that this is basically a live album done in the studio - it's their 2020 tour setlist. Obviously there was no tour, but there was Merzbow. The second track is a Coaltar of The Deepers cover, and an incredible one at that
