This new album by The Armed is highly recommended for all fans of maximalist grindcore and The Dillinger Escape Plan! It is wild.

That does sound good but I definitely want to read an excerpt before giving anyone any money.

a metal album art blog just pointed me toward this record. it’s... so awesome??? https://xenoblight.bandcamp.com/album/procreation

My trust in Weightless Books is pretty high, so I took the plunge. Can report back.

it’s always really nice when i notice how good a rhythm section is on a metal record

The pre-release At the Gates tracks paint their new album in the best possible light. The sum total is kind of underwhelming, alas.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 19:09 (five years ago) link
I noticed it's AOtW over at Stereogum so I guess some people must like it.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 16 May 2018 19:17 (five years ago) link
At the Gates have never done it for me, and this new album is more of the same.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 19:20 (five years ago) link
at this point the song Luxury Themes off The Armed's new album is song of the year, Brad when you posted it to the emo thread did you not think to add 'ps this will definitely be imago's favourite thing ever'
― imago, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 20:24 (five years ago) link
re: The Armed: Really enjoying it, too. It’s a great find.

Sort of sounds like a relatively more pop Genghis Tron. Not bad!

Jes Skolnik at Bandcamp was talking up this EP of lofi punky & noisy deathmetal and I have to say I agree

The Armed album is great btw. Ben Koller of Converge drums on this one. Nick Yacyshyn of Sumac was on the last one. Ballou produced both. Been saying this one is a mix between Converge, Melt Banana and Cleric to me.

Finally got the new LLNN.
MASSIVE.

so there's more than one 37-minute post-hardcore album of note atm, is what you're all saying
ONLY LOVE is a punch of pure delirious assurance that there's at least one band out there on your goddamn side, it is sheer life affirmation. but yeah it is also a punch to the face haha
― imago, Friday, 18 May 2018 17:07 (five years ago) link
The new Five Finger Death Punch album came out today. All I'm saying is, if the singer for your favorite band doesn't shout "GET SOME!" before the guitar solo, you need a new favorite band.
― grawlix (unperson), Friday, 18 May 2018 22:39 (five years ago) link
*sniff* I only listen to bands where I have NO IDEA what the singer is saying thank u very much
Speaking of which, I really like the cover for the new Deiquisitor
https://i.imgur.com/fYmcj3m.jpg
The music is way more fastnbrutal than the cover would lead you to expect.

Oops big soz
Normally dislike Ballou’s production, but it works for Only You.

I'm digging this 28 minute slab of Finnish death metal band:
https://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/demise
One track, but has distinct song-like sections.

Oh yeah just started that and it sounds great so far.

This is a couple of years late and slightly off topic but this album by Harm Done is really running a rusty shovel through my brainpan right now
http://harmdone.bandcamp.com/album/abuse-abused
Nasty, super-pissed French hardcore with some power violence/grind vibes and excellently septic production.

Thanks for recommending this, loving it. Production is perfect for this sound.

File under "not again" - An ex-gf of Danny Walker, drummer for Intronaut, Phobia, Expulsion, etcetera, posted pix (or a friend posted them for her, not 100% sure since it was on Instagram and I don't do that) of her with black eyes claiming he did it before going off to Europe with Cephalic Carnage. A FB thread by a FB friend, acquaintance and also a drummer, had a lot of people I know personally to varying degrees, many of whom told tales of other women with similar stories.
Walker for his part made a huge post and said all the wrong things in my opinion - called the woman crazy, said the damage was self-inflicted, blamed her being on medications, threatened legal action - literally every single thing that he shouldn't have said. Also, in another FB thread still available (the other one was deleted by the guy who started it when things got really heated) and the comments in Walker's thread made it easier to side with the woman (and since believing women is my default, that wasn't difficult, but really, some cringe-worthy "sticking up for friends (or dude who plays drums great)" stuff.
Intronaut immediately announced that they fired him. Supposedly Phobia followed suit but I have not seen anything official.
It's a shit show and I am pretty sure I will read about a dozen more things about it that make me vomit.

Finally got to see Behold... The Arctopus live last night and it was hella fun. Highly recommend seeing them. On par if not more mind bending than any other Marston project. They have the Psyopus drummer with them now. Touring with Defeated Sanity too who also put on an incredible show.

ION has a national tour this summer. Pretty ambitious for a totally DIY band.
http://scontent.fphl2-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33028093_1972355276133169_4905460565998043136_n.jpg?_nc_cat=0&_nc_eui2=AeHUV42CUMABdeymIX09Ga1Xkb9w0mLlZkmgaij8zdCTzlVN0hB8HpETLnH5p6KQV1Xpo1KlUKbPih_nQUOlLfl55XUQW_y0Y28DOFChOEGr9Q&oh=5ff60561a9a2bdf7244ad54e6ab7df3c&oe=5B7C072F
Unfortunately the Philly date is the same room but upstairs and a separate show from The Body and Big|Brave. I am hopeful I will be able to catch most of ION and not miss much downstairs.

Man that's crazy... they should just collapse that into one bill.
Anyway, anyone that likes weird crude hybrids of d-beat/crust, black metal and deathrock might dig this:
http://magim.bandcamp.com/album/ignis
Definitely more on the punk side of crust than the super-massive, metallic variety. It's been released on cassette in a limited edition of 10 btw.

Anal Cunt's Josh Martin died - he was clowning around on a mall escalator and then fell to his death in the food court.
Pretty sure "You Died Falling Off A Mall Escalator" would have made a great Anal Cunt song title.
