Although they're not a metal band per se, metal people have enjoyed Pissed Jeans in the past and I have to say the latest album Why Love Now is fantastic.

Since 2013 Finland’s Oranssi Pazuzu has released two critically lauded full length albums via 20 Buck Spin in North America, 2013’s ‘Valonielu’ and 2016’s ‘Värähtelijä’. Both albums showed the boundless enormity and remarkable uniqueness that Oranssi Pazuzu alone create. Are they a Psych influenced Black Metal band or a Black Metal influenced Psych band? No one knows for sure and it doesn’t matter anyway. No other band has the ability to bend these genres into such an extraordinarily cohesive whole.
For most in North America the Oranssi Pazuzu black hole only came into focus with the aforementioned last two albums. However the band had previously recorded and released two full length albums and a split LP. With their growing reputation here Oranssi Pazuzu’s back catalog has become increasingly in demand. 20 Buck Spin will now present the band’s back catalog on various formats domestically for the first time.
The ‘Farmokologinen’ MLP contains Oranssi Pazuzu’s songs from a split album they did in 2010 between the time of their first and second full lengths. Four tracks and nearly 27 minutes in length, even on a split album the band showcased their growing immensity and burning cold bleakness. Now released as a stand alone Oranssi Pazuzu release with all new artwork on vinyl and digital formats.

Video for "Winter II"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OenMFgZGE94
I fell in love with the British band's 2013 release Dustwalker after reading about it in the Rolling Metal Thread 2013 thread right here and I have a feeling that I will do the same with the new release which comes out tomorrow once I get to spend some time with it. Islander of No Clean Singing did get to spend time with itand streams the entire album of which he opines:
If it’s “self-indulgent”, it is so only in the sense that it indulges deeply felt emotions, memories, and creative impulses of the selves who made it. It’s ambitious in its reach, of course, seeking to capture the sensations of ancient landscapes and near-mystical revelations, but FEN’s ambitions haven’t exceeded their grasp.While the spine of the music is atmospheric black metal, in its fully fleshed-out form it’s very much a prog album, intricate and rich in its textures and elaborate in its ever-changing instrumental variations. The drums will blast, the guitars will swarm, and the vocals will claw at your throat in abrasive snarls and impassioned cries. But the harsh, savage energy in the music is more than counterbalanced by other elements that become kaleidoscopic in the cascade of their sonic colors.Trying to map all the ways in which the music changes over the course of these journeys wouldn’t serve much point. What might matter more is to say that despite the considerable distance the music travels both in time and in the range of its emotional resonances and instrumental and vocal variations, the songs are cohesive, and that might be the album’s crowning achievement. Everything seems to belong, and to integrate and unfold in ways that are fascinating, natural, and wholly immersive. Many minutes will pass, but if you’re like me, you won’t be counting them. By the end, you’ll wonder where the time went, and be glad for the time you spent with Winter.

digging this Apostate Viaticum album:
https://invictusproductions666.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-gates-of-gomorrah
Before listening to the song you’re about to hear, “In the Shadow of the Monolith”, I was seduced by Invictus‘ comparisons of the album to the likes of Diocletian, Bölzer, and Zom — along with Gospel of the Horns, Vomitor, and Throaat. And then the song itself seduced me. A melding of black and death, it’s a twisted piece of savagery that doesn’t unfold in a predictable straight line. It squeals, groans, vaults, and veers. It becomes a meat-grinder of morbidity and then a head-nodding, bone-mangling lurch, with a burst of frenzy at the end. My kind of nastiness.

Got a press release about Black Death. After forming in Cleveland in the late '70s, the group is reputably the first all-black heavy metal band.
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-prnA3p2iVfo/U2hnUiVHd1I/AAAAAAAAHgY/aTvsIqDrXcw/s1600/blackdeath-thumb.jpg
The one album the band released, a self-titled album that came out in 1984, will be getting the reissue treatment from Hell's Headbangers sometime this year, presumably. It "consisted of a seven-song main LP and then a two-song 7", both of which Hells Headbangers will reproduce down to the same detail," says the press release.

The new Anomalie album, Visions (out on March 17 via Art of Propaganda), that I have been enjoying and hyping in this thread is finally streaming in full at Invisible Oranges. Joseph Schafer says of the album
The biggest weakness atmospheric black metal faces is thinness. I don’t mean production thinness, I mean a feeling that the music itself is slight. Listening to too many of these bands feels like ordering stew at a restaurant but reviving a bowl of hot broth.Austria’s Anomalie know how to keep the soup hearty. The brainchild of live Harakiri for the Sky member Marrok, Anomalie mostly keep to the folksy side of the chilled black metal spectrum. You might think of them as gazpacho, soup to cool you down in the afternoon. At times, though, things get chunky, heavy and hot, thanks to some almost Heaven Shall Burn-ish melodic death metal riffage. Always every element is in balance, which makes their forthcoming third record, Visions, such a pleasant dish in a genre full of bland appetizers.

Good couple of days in Philly... Monday was Deafheaven, This Will Destroy You and Emma Ruth Rundle and I just came home from Oathbreaker with King Woman and Jaye Jayle.
I wish I caught more of Emma Ruth Rundle's set since I like her albums but she went on so early... I like This Will Destroy you more as background music playing on my CD player than in concert, frankly... Deafheaven was probably the best I have seen them of the three times.

I really enjoyed Jaye Jayle's set, reminded me of Helios Creed if he used different drugs or was an earthling... Picked up the split they did with Emma Ruth Rundle, ironically enough! King Woman was fantastic, the singer jumping i the crowd at one point, really love the new album which I picked up at the show. Oathbreaker was a cathartic, thrilling, over the top force to be reckoned with. The amazing thing was after the show ended there was Caro at the merch booth without even a moment to rest, from screaming onstage to asking what size shirt you wanted in about as much time as it took to get from the stage to the merch table. It was funny to me how she spent the whole show shrouded in black fabric and with her long hair covering her face and suddenly people are taking pictures with her.

loving the new Obituary. I didn't care much for the last one - wasn't terrible, just didn't have many songs I was that into. My only disappointment is that it is largely bereft of some of the extended Celtic Frost-y groovy parts of their past, but then again I can listen to Slowly We Rot or "Redneck Stomp" if I want that.
I do like some of the forays into outside territory, like the heavy metal-ish moments during the first few tracks. the simplicity of the songwriting works too. I can see these songs going over well live (which I'll know for sure on Sunday)
