I actually saw a comment online somewhere saying iron maiden, judas priest and black sabbath are classic rock not metal

Anyway, Victory Lap was my #1, a towering but humble achievement from one of the very best rock bands my dumb country has ever produced

53 Planning for Burial - Below the House 168.0 Points, 5 Voteshttps://newnoisemagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Planning-For-Burial-Below-The-House.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/31lWxuVOP2hrbyqetVueTW?si=jTvwphjgRECmV5KCdIuGdg
There isn’t a glimmer of sun on Below the House, the latest from post-metal outfit, Planning For Burial. Think of the gloom of a UV index of 0.In this world, sunglasses are merely cosmetic.The hints of cheerlessness should come as no surprise. Throughout the record, I continually conjured up vivid images of a kind of pestilent wintertime death that begins in the soil, born in the rush of cold, fetid air. Perhaps the album title implies that there is a person being interred. Perhaps they met with a violent fate.Planning For Burial is the alter ego of Scranton, Pennsylvania artist Thom Wasluck, a devilish creator who plays and records all instruments. Wasluck has been prolific in the studio over these last couple of years, using Bandcamp as a platform for spreading his peculiar brand of darkness to some grassroots acclaim (it’s curious to not that he has also distributed music through cassette and floppy computer disk).

"When All Your Fears Collide" or "Comply/Resist" should answer that for you.

I like this Planning for Burial record very much; I think it made my ballot.

Aw, way too low for Planning for Burial :(

Reminded me of the Mt Eerie black wooden records. I miss that sound, though I don't begrudge Elverum for doing something else.

That and Fred's comparison with metal Mt Eerie will make me want to check this out.

52 Ehnahre - The Marrow 171.0 Points, 5 Votes(Sorry, couldn't find a non-hueg version of the album art.)https://open.spotify.com/album/7InPnS3IWdrb4fBUdQVfhF?si=3WpP0NKzRhWJELyvwhMlhA
On the whole, The Marrow offers a more dismal, droning version of Kayo Dot’s Hubardo with plenty of desolate passages drawn straight from a Portal record. But the manner in which Ehnahre fulfills this overarching theme varies in a way that enriches it’s expansive soundscapes of filth and anguish. A percussive assault on the double bass introduces “The Crow Speaks” in such a way that renders the instrument virtually unrecognizable. This performance, in conjunction with the following metallic electronics and sound samples, provide the first instances of the album’s electroacoustic undertones. The sudden pang of dissonant guitars pierces through the chaos and begins to distort alongside the double bass and effects before percussion smashes into the fold to intensify the mood. The cacophony sets the track up for its first burst of Roethke’s poem, with wispy, haunted vocals wheezing out the words they’ve been tasked with delivering:

Don't know, and didn't want to risk it. Anyway, this is on an ambient experimental tip, which has been underrepresented so far, though it's (once again) not particularly my bag.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 6 February 2018 15:24 (six years ago) link
Funny to see Ehnahre here, I thought I was the only one who really gave a shit. Same with Gasp. Good to see Ungfell and Corpse Garden place, Pyrrhon TOO LOW.

I think The Marrow's pretty stunning fwiw but it's not exactly friendly.

C: I think I'm responsible for Dreadnought too to be honest, does that make me an influential tastemaker? That makes me uncomfortable.

51 Gigan - Undulating Waves of Rainbiotic Iridescense 174.0 Points, 7 Voteshttp://www.nocleansinging.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Gigan-Undulating-Waves-of-Rainbiotic-Iridescence--e1498095459199.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/7nlck5qvCmRBkySBl5zwVp?si=OtXqG3ghRUmrvNhekNKnqA
Undulating Waves Of Rainbiotic Iridescence is an incredible technical death metal album. equal parts extreme ambition, furious and complex hyper-active blast and shred passages, atmospheric focused moments across the album, extreme doses of unearthly dissonance, plus their signature psychedelic element woven in as always, making for truly epic stuff as a whole that feels like its own world and musical language. If you consider yourself a death metal connoisseur than this album is a ten-course meal one must seek out, though a fair warning should be given that experiencing its depths will cause involuntary orgasms to arise while it leads you to your death amidst the psychedelic nightmares one can only envision to exist in other universes and realms.

Admit it, at least three of you voted for this just for the title.

they used to be a pop-punk band, now they're a thrash metal band with pop melodies floating over the top

I was expecting this Gigan record to be wacky space concept prog metal and not this absolutely brutal concoction

Gigan always have amazing song/album titles but the music itself I've never been truly sold on.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. I think it is wackily brutal.

50 Psudoku - Deep Space Psudokument 177.0 Points, 4 Votes, 1 #1 Votehttps://img.discogs.com/i1GsU0hLurUe_n5RLBHrLK9_Gpc=/fit-in/600x600/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(90)/discogs-images/R-10241340-1494072157-2214.jpeg.jpghttps://open.spotify.com/album/3YIWBdHXosvKLl7ByvFHJH?si=CR1Hj-cBR2WnySbgkPxO7g
"Deep Space Psudokument" is a code name of the third album interplanetary project PSUDOKU. The development of futuristic 70's progressive grind continues, and this time surf rock, doom and electronic classical is incorporated. This is progressive grind that has time travelled backwards an entire year from the future. A must have for fans of THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, KING CRIMSON, NAKED CITY, NAPALM DEATH, MR. BUNGLE, ANTIGAMA.

My #3, so chuffed this made the top 50. Electro + grindcore + Cardiacs = joy unlimited! For me at least. And as a bonus for you all, it's like 25 minutes long
― imago, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:03 (six years ago) link
My #1. I wish that about 70% of music had this energy and intensity. Manages to be insane and humorous without encroaching on silliness territory. Perfect dinner party music.
