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.

yay! Had I re-submitted, this would have been higher. Thanks imago for mentioning, have subsequently obtained all of their (his?) records

A very cool record I have yet to have even the vaguest desire to listen to the entirety of.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:01 (six years ago) link
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.

49 Venenum - Trance of Death 183.0 Points, 6 Voteshttps://www.metal-archives.com/images/6/2/8/2/628270.jpghttps://venenum.bandcamp.com/album/trance-of-death
There’s an undeniable gothic sensibility to what Venenum does, but not in the same way that Mercyful Fate or Swedish contemporaries Tribulation would display. “Entrance,” the leadoff track from Trance of Death, is a mournful and haunting instrumental played on cello and piano that wouldn’t be out of place on an Agalloch album. The band maintains that darkness throughout, but they do so in the service of some furiously righteous death metal born of a twisted and unfamiliar realm. The title of “Merging Nebular Drapes” offers the possibility that alien blood really does run through their system, though it’s arguably the most straightforward death metal offering here, galloping forth with tight rhythmic dynamics and tremolo riffs. “The Nature of the Ground” takes things into a more complex direction, shifting tempos and introducing some dizzying, psychedelic guitar leads into the mix. And “Cold Threat” shakes up the approach even more, slowing to a crawl before launching back into a blast-beat explosion and eventually a section of crunchy grooves and acid-laced guitar leads that send the listener through a portal to a thrilling, terrifying terrain.

we should just call this the 10th Annual ILM Death Metal Poll 2017

iirc this one topped the Last Rites staff poll.

48 Falls of Rauros - Vigilance Perennial 184 Points, 7 Voteshttps://i.imgur.com/0v0oCUI.jpg
https://open.spotify.com/album/2gcjg5RGSxXOo6XhOawMtb?si=jiICuNBqQD26dpXxMJyN6whttps://fallsofrauros.bandcamp.com/album/vigilance-perennial
With Falls of Rauros' 4th full-length album, Vigilance Perennial, a vital complexity and multifaceted emotion is at the forefront of this stunning quartet's musical creativity, drive and evolution. Ever since the opening notes of the Hail Wind and Hewn Oak debut, Falls of Rauros have never put on a mask to hide behind a false facade. Yes their sound has indeed grown to embrace an otherworldly atmosphere that feels almost spiritual, but their songs possess endlessly layered riffs and thoughts from the heart that feel as real as the earth squishing up between your toes as you stop to appreciate the sound of the wind sailing through the pines. Such an organic flow and endlessly dynamic rise and fall elevates the 5 songs of Vigilance Perennial from a multi-layered bout of aggression to beautiful moments of music that twist with a powerful and honest emotion rarely experienced within a musical mindset that others refer to as “black metal”.Vigilance Perennial finds Falls of Rauros once again challenging the status quo, for the pure honesty and obvious love for truly unique songcrafting has in part distanced this band from any obvious genre defining terms. This music bleeds from the heart in a giving way, and we, the Bindrune and Nordvis alliance are proud to share our brothers' stunning and healing work with the world.creditsreleased March 31, 2017

I didn't mention anything upthread but yeah, Blood Offerings is fucking awesome.
Not as enthused with Psudoku.
Glad to see Venenum, though.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:32 (six years ago) link
LOVE the Falls of Rauros album. I'm bummed that I had the chance to see them on christmas day but chickened out due to the extreme cold.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:32 (six years ago) link
the falls of rauaros album is really good
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:33 (six years ago) link
I was really impressed with the Venenum record last year but stopped listening to it quite quickly. I should go back to it...
I heard FoR a while back and found them quite plain but should probably give this one a go.

so if we slag off current generation of music writers in this thread they will come here to post instead of the poptimism thread?
imago get to it! lol

We need a 'hide thread' feature.

I think most people hide ILM from SNA actually. I'm sure stet said once he detected that from the stats
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:39 (six years ago) link
ok
can we get rid of similes like 'like the earth squishing up between your toes' from metal reviews
― imago, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:40 (six years ago) link
Ban Empedoclian elements from metal reviews.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:42 (six years ago) link
Way too low for Venenum record - now I wish I made it my number one - it rocks so hard and it endlessly re-listenable.

cookie monster?
xp
― Algerian Goalkeeper (Odysseus), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:53 (six years ago) link
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds even lower-pitched than the trad cookie monster style.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:54 (six years ago) link
this is approaching the Demilich-style "burp" vocal
also there's no way I'd have guessed this was a new record if I didn't see it here first!
― Dominique, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:56 (six years ago) link
I assume you're referring to Demilich the band but I choose to believe you meant a burping D&D demilich.
― pomenitul, Tuesday, 6 February 2018 16:58 (six years ago) link
lol yeah the band, who doubtlessly got their name from D&D

paradise lost was almost my no. 1. i think it ended up third on my ballot? anyway it's them totally realizing the pivot back to depressive death/doom that occurred on the last record imo. the songs are all so strong
