can i vote for this in the metal poll

this album is so immense i love it. reminiscent of the swans reunion albums but a little less self-indulgent and all the better for it

yeah no it's the swans album i actually wanted and never got

it's all the things I liked in those albums but only those things and nothing more

She is really the greatest

a song about me

good

I thought at first Greta van Fleet would sound like this

I'm more taken with her new LP, all pieces for solo organ, than with her previous one, which occasionally felt like it was trying too hard to impress the goth crowd. Minimalism (not in the Glass/Reich sense) suits her well.

Bought the files from bandcamp but not listened yet

Hard to miss her voice when what she's doing here is so moving and impressive, damn. Minimalism suits her well, indeed. This might just be my favourite album of her.

There's definitely a Glass vibe on track 6. Agreed overall, this is really good! The organ is making me wonder what a Shackleton collab would sound like.

It's undoubtedly there, yes; I was just trying to clumsily point out that she's not just riffing on the minimalist organ sounds of old.

this is great; she rules so much. (also I get what pom is saying but "trying too hard to impress the goth crowd" is one of the very best writing/recording strategies there is)

100% agree, but Dead Magic didn't entirely work for me somehow.

Ooooh I'm excited!

Ceremony destroyed my life and the subsequent couple of albums did little for me in comparison (but were still excellent), I think minimalism suits her best.

I don't think there's an album I've heard this year that has grabbed me so immediately and with such force.

ooh this album (All Thoughts Fly) is good, thanks for recommending it pomenitul. by the last couple of songs I was on the verge of screaming with the intensity.

now I've got Ceremony, having read fgti's comment

My pleasure! Along similar lines, and if you're curious, I'd also recommend checking out Maja S. K. Ratkje's Sult from last year – all voice & modified pump organ.

cool! I will check it out & the others you mentioned on the year-end list thread. I don't know any of these artists.

I'd never heard her work outside of her collaborations with Sunn O))), Wolves in the Throne Room and Tribulation, but I am absolutely loving the new Live at Montreux album, this is tremendous. Which of her previous albums come closest to this vibe?

the material is all from dead magic and the miraculous, so choose one of those. my fav is dead magic

This live album is absolutely brilliant.

She is really the greatest

Dusted off The Miraculous today for the first time in ages, no idea why I hadn't listened to it in so long. I picked it up after I fell in love with Ceremony, they're both tremendous.
