I've taken to this Dysrhythmia album more than any of their past work. The songs have clicked more.
Personally I can't wait to hear what the Dysrhythmia guys bring to the new Gorguts album.

I've never been into Dysrhythmia. Always seemed like super talented musicians playing music I have no means of engaging with.

aka, they're good at what they do, but what they do is not for me.

Well played, sir. Well played.

Perfect. Well, it was perfect til I remembered American Psycho and frankly now I'm kind of shuddering.

Hahaha I just got an email from PayPal that says that hydrahead has just shipped my order. 6 weeks after I paid for it.
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Monday, 22 October 2012 19:22 (eleven years ago) link
I had conversations with 6 other UK people this weekend who would have bought 40cd bundles but didn't because of Hydrahead's ridiculous postage.

Well to be fair it might have also taken 14 years for them to arrive
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Monday, 22 October 2012 19:31 (eleven years ago) link
I have received HH orders within 6 weeks before. Which is still ridiculous.
― passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Monday, 22 October 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
I'd be very interested to know how much this specific factor - ridiculous overseas postage rates severely limiting their sales beyond the domestic market - played into the label's undoing.

couple things:
saw swans last night. really great show, but i don't know why people so overstate the volume of their live set. it seemed like less than half as loud as sunn, or even dinosaur jr for that matter! not that i'm complaining, they were at a fine volume, just confused by people acting like it was the loudest thing they'd ever heard or w/e.
if anyone has any recommendations re: indonesian metal please send them my way.
lastly, inter arma, who just signed to relapse, are going blow ppl away soon imo & iirc. anyone heard their new record yet?

the band Weedeater that opened for Saint Vitus was one of the loudest bands i've ever seen, way louder than swans who i saw last year

Venue makes a huge difference. YOB is a loud band, but they were ear crushing in Austin last spring and merely loud in Dallas this fall. Saw Swans the next night at a club across the street from where YOB played and my pants were rippling around my ankles from the volume.

HydraHead CD postage was more than the cost of the CDs. From memory, they wanted $70 to post them? The deal that was being offered in the US would have cost UK residents about $200. (It should be pointed out HH were unable to mark the customs label as 'gift' so it was $50 postage penalty to receive.
― passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Monday, 22 October 2012 22:23 (eleven years ago) link
But to be clear, nobody else in the US, with the exception of Greg Anderson, is within an order of magnitude of the postage.
― passive-aggressive display name (aldo), Monday, 22 October 2012 22:25 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I saw swans in a large performance hall, so I suppose that may have diffused it a bit. Although i saw Sunn in a cavernous Victorian theater, and they deafened me! Weedeater, yes, and p much every other metal band I've seen in similar sized venues seemed a lot louder. Maybe swans fans (overgeneralizing) aren't as accustomed to loud shit as people like you and you and me. Idk, sorry for harping on this so long

Witch Mountain/Castle/Mares of Thrace tonight at Empty Bottle, free woot!
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:03 (eleven years ago) link
i saw swans in a really long/low-ceilinged room and it was def air-movingly loud, but prob not top 5 loudest for me personally.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:10 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah I mean, Swans is probably "loudest band ever" if your usual concert-going consists of Joanna Newsom or whatever.

lol the tracking number for my shipment does not exist in the USPS database
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:48 (eleven years ago) link
If they just sent it out today, it usually takes a little bit for the tracking number to appear.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 00:49 (eleven years ago) link
no no, i know, it just seemed like a fun fact
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 01:07 (eleven years ago) link
its a start at least, i ordered the Krallice CD on August 26th and still haven't heard a peep back about it. last time i order anything physical through bandcamp.

this thread is 100% good ilx dudes
well, at least Blood Duster are winning the PR game, even if no one gets to actually hear their new album
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:00 (eleven years ago) link
That's kind of brilliant/insane.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:04 (eleven years ago) link
Though I'd be tempted to title a review Dud Bluster.
i want to be charmed, if i could only get past the fact that that is the dumbest thing ever
― I'M THE ONLY ON (jjjusten), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:11 (eleven years ago) link
pretty much my thoughts
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:11 (eleven years ago) link
I mean, it seems like the ACTUAL new music they're releasing is that digital EP, I would bet that, if there is any music on that record, it's just some old stuff they tossed on there and then scratched KVLT over to see if they could get away with it.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 23 October 2012 02:15 (eleven years ago) link
I realize that's probably super obvious to everyone else, but it's the Internet and I feel obligated to make the implicit explicit.

many xposts but:
yes!!! new lineup sounded great live. does anyone know when the new lp is actually coming out? last I heard was fall 2012 iirc.
― original bgm, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
Next year...Luc told me a couple weeks ago he's been waiting for their contract with Century Media to expire right away, then they're going to finish the record. His lyrics aren't done yet, too.
― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 18:01 (eleven years ago) link
ah, a little later than I was hoping for but good news all the same.
― original bgm, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 19:43 (eleven years ago) link
What's the deal with Christian Mistress? They had a European tour back in April then nothing, no U.S. dates. Did they get lost in a Scottish bog?
― Fastnbulbous, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
Perhaps in an Enslaved move, the God Seed album has a keyboard player from Apoptygma Berzerk who adds an alternately Ken Hensley and Del Dettmar thing. Also one song is total Rammstein but isn't letting me roll my eyes. And Gaahl no longer sounds like a hissing old man; he kind of bellows and roars. I'm disoriented because I like it.
― Devilock, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 21:22 (eleven years ago) link
i'm really glad i read xhucx's thing abt witch mountain, christian mistress, and royal thunder, really the kind of metal i was looking for

THE OBSESSED - Live in Kölncollectors vinyl release streets TODAY!
Tuesday, October 23, 2012 (Brattleboro, VT) -- Outer Battery Records is proud to announce the release of The Obsessed Live In Köln collectable vinyl LP. The album hits stores today. In collaboration with Roadburn, a limited pressing of 800 pieces on grey vinyl with new artwork designed by Guy Pinhas, is out now. An additional run of only 200 copies pressed on blood red vinyl is exclusively available from the Outer Battery website. Outer Battery Records is distributed by The Orchard. Sub distributors include CTD, Revolver and Cobraside.
Recorded in 1992 the album features the band's line-up from The Church Within-era (Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich on guitar and vocals; Greg Rogers on drums; Guy Pinhas on bass). The concert took place at Live Music Hall in Cologne, Germany on December 29, 1992. The recording is being released now to celebrate the band's long awaited live performance earlier this year at Roadburn Festival. Wino has been active with St. Vitus, Conny Ochs, his solo material and now performing again with Greg Rogers (Goatsnake, Sonic Medusa) and Guy Pinhas (Goatsnake, Acid King and Beaver). Mastered by James Plotkin (Sunn O))), ISIS, Pelican and Earth) this record features nine tracks 1. "Mourning," 2. "Hiding Mask," 3. "The Way She Fly," 4. "Forever Midnight," 5. "Streamlined," 6. "Brother Blue Steel," 7. "Blind Lightning," 8. "Neatz Brigade," and 9. "River Of Soul."
"There were also 300 copies of the super limited Saturday Night Special 7" that came with the first few copies of the European version," Outer Battery Records elaborates about the release. "We had our Dutch friends at Roadburn hold back 25 copies of the single for us, numbered for the American pressing, and they are available as a special add-on with the record. We sold out of this package in the first hour!"

That is a hell of a band photo.

As I feared, the new Enslaved is not very interesting, despite some really good sections but man is this a slog. The vocals are the worst, the BM vox don't fit the music at all anymore and that Thom Yorke impersonator is even worse. Either all those reviewers are getting free coke and hookers from Nuclear Blast or are the same people that rate every Dream Theater recording 10/10.
Excuse me while I put on that last album by Nokturnal Mortum who might have a somewhat questionable Weltanschauung but do this prog-BM thing a million times more exciting.

You've heard Spite Extreme Wing's Vltra, right? I always have to ask.
― Devilock, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 23:20 (eleven years ago) link
Yes I found it a bit uneven, the punk rock stuff wasnt really my thing, I think I sold it. Their other (earlier) album is supposed to be better though?
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 23 October 2012 23:31 (eleven years ago) link
More on the traditional bm side but with some proggy and martial/neofolk stuff. Still more interesting that 90% of the black metal of the time.
