Thanks for posting that, pfunkboy! I'm really pleased with it (and especially chuffed to have gotten bands like Derketa and Repulsion mentioned in the "Torygraph," hehe).

It sure came as a surprise when Nate posted it!

best thing about it is theres no guardian comments

great piece!

i need to hear Eight Bells as I loved SubArachnoid Space.
Also yay noothgrush!

Eight Bells has a new tune up on bandcamp. It's pretty great.

What I really took away from that was that "Ozzy Osbourne is the face of heavy metal to many." LOL.

to bill magill its sharon

new Darkthrone track is Mercyful Fate worship. I worship Mercyful Fate, so I'm 100% down w/this

I've lost count how many times I've played that Darkthrone track. It is glorious.

Wow I wasn't expecting that vocal intro!

i love darkthrone so much right now and also before this and also probably forever

For the person who was asking about that zero dark 30 Metallica cover: http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=SABPBly90Nk&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DSABPBly90Nk

new Darkthrone track is Mercyful Fate worship

Holy shit. Could've called this Isengard, actually, but it fucking rules.

I guess it's not folky at akk, but the clean singing kind of takes me back.

all not akk sorry will stop posting now

thanks for the heads up about the new Fen, Goalkeeper. love them and so far the new one sounds good.

the darkthrone makes me wish i had a kid to raise badly

thats good to hear beard papa!

That track is awesome! I'm super excited for the new Darkthrone!

saw Repulsion last night in Philadelphia, which is an almost unbelievable thing to by typing. They fucking kicked so much ass. I did not make it to the end of the night so I didn't see Converge, I suck at life, but I did see Repulsion play a literally perfect set so whatever

to *be* typing

did you meet jeff?

I have to wait til May to see Repulsion but I've got my ticket already, not missing that one.

youve met jeff though, mark. Much better.

Saw Kowloon Walled City last night at their album release show in SF, it was SOLD OUT. They played like gods! they were crushing! they pretty much played the whole new record

New KEN mode steaming on their badcamp..

hey susan whats the offer your band got?

i bet ozzfest is back and you have to pay $100000000000 to open the 9th stage at 6am

I'd take it.. even after taxes..lol

Beardfest is a better alternative I think

Who could play ILX Metal Beardfest? Witch Mountain? Nate has an honourary beard

And another Summoning street team update:

19.01.2013
We have finished all vocals and choirs for the new album. This means that we slowly come to an end now. Until the end of the month we have to finalize the sound, the booklet and the two bonus songs. This time we also have an English speaker who contributed with some spoken words for two songs. At the end of this month give the master CD to napalm records and fix the release-date which probably will be in march or April.

Graves at Sea just announced a SF show in March..

New summoning cover is predictable but I can't act like it isn't super exciting to see that!

Is this new Attic album worth getting? The samples I've heard tell me that its total Mercyful Fate "homage" to the most blatant degree, but that actually sounds like something I might want.

This might be the only Summoning record we'll get this decade so I'm not complaining.

Haven't been able to resist Desertfest in Camden any more. Seriously:

UNIDA, PENTAGRAM, COLOUR HAZE, FATSO JETSON, DOZER, UFOMAMMUT, LOWRIDER, NAAM, YAWNING MAN, KADAVAR, WO-FAT, BONGRIPPER, RAMMESSES, COUGH, WITCH MOUNTAIN, CONAN, TURBOWOLF, PAGAN ALTAR, BONG, PLANET OF ZEUS, ABRAHMA BELZEBONG, STEAK, TRIPPY WICKED, BLACK MOTH, THE ADMIRAL SIR CLOUDESLEY SHOVELL, BLACK MAGICIAN, GURT, PROSPERINA, WHORMOAN, THRONE, INDESINENCE, HUMANFLY, ANGIST.

And more to come.

This might be the only Summoning record we'll get this decade so I'm not complaining.

^^^

could not be more excited. one of the few bands where I'm just confident it'll be great.

would consider Desertfest if you can get day tickets and the bands get split up nicely as per my personal taste

camden is close enough that i'm very tempted...

add me to the list of people who can't stop playing this new darkthrone track. is this still just fenriz and nocturno??

My 2013 honor roll doesn't have a lot on it yet, but I just added this great, thrashy goth-speed album Frozen Legends, by the German band Skadika. I'd never heard of them, although this is actually their second album. Melodic Viking Metal, says EM, which I didn't realize was a thing, but if it's a thing, I'm probably into it.

I don't really keep up with Darkthrone. Is this even the same band that did Transilvanian Hunger? Sounds very different.
