Well, unperson, if you are going to make up imaginary quotes (you do know what quote marks mean, right?) that misrepresent where I stand, you can go fuck yourself.

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

You mean the Reign of Vengeance cover? Did anyone call it offensive? I just called it dumb.

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.
― jmm, Saturday, 16 September 2017 01:48 (six years ago) link
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.

Don't worry about it. Honestly, it bugs me more that you act like you don't know who I am. (My initials are PF. We talked about the Preservation Hall Jazz Band earlier today.)

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.

man I'm finally getting to this new Contrarian album
astral death metal in an oooold Schuldiner style is probably not what a lotta people are looking for in 2017 but I fucking LOVE it.

seriously it fuckin rules. and it does these Floyd-y moves toward the end...just wonderful. Death metal bands with a Pink Floyd jones are some of the best death metal bands.

Love that Contrarian - feel like it's way better than the first one? It's been a minute since I heard that album.

The new Incantation album, unsurprisingly, rules.
Indeed. Wish some of the songs were longer but that's a good complaint to have.

SqualusThe Great Fish...(Translation Loss Records)Release Date: 9/24/2017Formats: CD/LP/Digi

https://open.spotify.com/album/0z4YWEx3lv6vxm3tL7mrWehttps://squalus.bandcamp.com/album/the-great-fish
Emerging from the ashes of cult-prog group Giant Squid, Squalus' debut is an ode to all things Jaws from the name and artwork to the lyrics and samples from the classic movie. The album is surprisingly fun and unpretentious.

Really trebly, cutting BM vocals and guitars, but still melodic, and the Persian music elements are more prominent and integrated well. Guy plays tar and setar.

the last shining album was promising but seems they've doubled down on the vaguely industrial jock rock
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 September 2017 15:29 (six years ago) link
this contrarian album is an enormous improvement on the last one, which i already liked! man!
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 26 September 2017 15:31 (six years ago) link
xp sounds kinda like 'Halo' by Soil
think I must have missed an album or two of theirs if there was any previous clue they were devolving towards this point

Man I can't believe how much worse Shining get with every album after their avant-rock phase (Grindstone and In the Kingdom of Kitsch...) I even enjoyed Blackjazz for a time until I realised its obnoxiousness outweighed any good qualities it may have.
Akvan sounds very cool though, I like idiosyncratic takes on lo-fi black metal.
