awesome news about Thantifaxath! funny about chord changes, within like 2 seconds of hearing their track, I could tell I liked the harmony (kinda similar to Dodheimsgard and Carl-Michael Eide projects)

I'm only about halfway through it so far. Steve Von Till does a spoken-word bit on the second track that I seriously thought was a sample from a Joe Frank routine. Now I kinda want to hear Joe Frank collaborate with Sunn O))).

No bandcamp page for Entrench's Through the Walls of Flesh, but perfectly fine brutal thrash with touches of death, a la Possessed, Kreator, earliest Death

The 66.6 Best Metal Albums of the Millennium, according to some zine I've never heard of.
― grawlix (unperson), Wednesday, 13 September 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
Not really in agreement with most of it but it's not a terrible list tbf, they make space for Yellow Eyes and Krallice which is good. But placing Baroness above Mastodon is a pretty wtf move
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 18:22 (six years ago) link
Including Baroness and Mastodon on such a list is bad enough already I would think.
― Siegbran, Wednesday, 13 September 2017 21:19 (six years ago) link
66.6, the less impressive number of the beast for when you can't put in the effort to get to 666

Got a press release from some band Reign of Vengeance.
Reign in Vengeance announces their new vocalist The Illuminated Man. Shrouded in mystery, The Illuminated Man will be replacing former vocalist Marshall Beck. Before stepping down Beck had this to say..I'd have liked to continue on with Reign of Vengeance. However, given the material of this EP it seems better that I step down as Reign of Vengeance's frontman and hand over the responsibilities to an entity which has been fully rehabilitated by the ever expanding government and state. He seems to be better suited for this job and band now.Enter the Illuminated Man: He is a Master of Finance, a Master of Brutality, and a Master of Psychological Warfare upon the common populace of all humans which he (like the government) believes to be nothing more than consumers and vermin filth..Reign of Vengeance also announces the release of their new EP The Final Aeon For All HumansThe Final Aeon For All Humans is an EP that is both musically and lyrically styled to narrate through a "fictional" depiction of class warfare if it were to transpire in our modern world. This Ep takes a dual perspective lyrically including that of the common man as well as the Occultist Elite. This EP is best listened to in its entirety from start to finish, playing through like a blood soaked and very brutal musical. This album is loaded with true and mysterious-esoteric theology, American "conspiracy theories", revelation interpretations, and (most importantly)- gore, blood, brutality, and violence.

You've literally come in here in the past arguing "I should be able to listen to Nazi bands if I want 'cause I'm not a Nazi and the music totally rips," and now you're rejecting a band over "conspiracy theory bullshit" without saying a word about the music...those are some pretty flexible standards you've got there.

is there something in that artwork that should be jumping out at me as obviously offensive, as opposed to garden variety trenchant social commentary

Nice to see Sister on that 66.6 list. That's one I belatedly discovered this year. Should've been higher though.
― o. nate, Saturday, 16 September 2017 01:38 (six years ago) link
Yeah. Sister is still one of my favourite albums of recent years.

Oh yeah that's a great record. I still need to get into their earlier stuff, though I have been warned it's drastically different.

This new Gigan is great on first listen. Gotta be one of the funnest death metal bands you could attach "brutal" and "technical" to.

I want to apologize to unperson for snapping off there.
For the record, I made a very long post concerning what I feel and why I feel it and to have it encapsulated with a quote that wasn't a quote which inaccurately encapsulated my position was disheartening.
But I didn't need to snap like that.

Norwegian black metal weirdos Fleurety are putting out a new album on Peaceville next month.
― grawlix (unperson), Monday, 18 September 2017 19:24 (six years ago) link
I'm curious about that one. I love Min Tid Skal Komme.
― Wichita prepares for totality (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 18 September 2017 22:44 (six years ago) link
Yeah, I don't know why I didn't get into Gigan before, since I like Vektor, but maybe this new one is a step forward. Like the previous three, recorded by Sanford Parker, mastered by my bud Collin Jordan. I hope to catch them at Cobra Lounge 9/28.

highly doubt it'll have anything remotely as good as the opening track of the last Virus album but we'll see
― imago, Wednesday, 20 September 2017 16:12 (six years ago) link
Well I'm not excited as such since they only made one album that was truly great and that was 22 years ago but hopefully this'll be interesting.

One new Fleurety track is up on the Peaceville site and YT:https://youtu.be/6ri7Orp6KwEhttp://peaceville.com/bands/fleurety/(info about lineup etc at both links)
I posted it almost a month ago but looking back now I made that post in the least conspicuous way possible.
It's a very odd track, needless to say. Sounds math rocky.
