new Darkthrone track is Mercyful Fate worship
Holy shit. Could've called this Isengard, actually, but it fucking rules.

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

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

Beardfest is a better alternative I think

And another Summoning street team update:
19.01.2013We 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.

New summoning cover is predictable but I can't act like it isn't super exciting to see that!
― original bgm, Monday, 21 January 2013 00:50 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 21 January 2013 04:00 (eleven years ago) link
This might be the only Summoning record we'll get this decade so I'm not complaining.

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

add me to the list of people who can't stop playing this new darkthrone track. is this still just fenriz and nocturno??
― original bgm, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 00:57 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― glenn mcdonald, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 02:24 (eleven years ago) link
I don't really keep up with Darkthrone. Is this even the same band that did Transilvanian Hunger? Sounds very different.
― Raoul Duke (ku4u1u), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 03:10 (eleven years ago) link
she's got a little bit of an anna murphy thing going on vocally - which i have to admit i'm totally a sucker for. lyrically i'm not sure i ever need to hear vague references to nordic heroes and legends (haha good luck it's called frozen legends). i dig it, esp in january when i really haven't heard a lot of new metal yet and it has a nice seasonal thing happening.

FUCK. The Cannibal Corpse/Immolation/Napalm Death tour is only coming to Brooklyn, not Manhattan.

Is that really a big deal? IIRC those two places are pretty close together.
― Frobisher the (Viceroy), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 17:48 (eleven years ago) link
It does if you live in New Jersey. Absolute pain in the ass -- and maybe impossible on public transportation late at night -- as 誤訳侮辱 has said many a time.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 22 January 2013 17:51 (eleven years ago) link
OIC I thought perhaps he was in Manhattan and I was like "don't you just cross like one bridge?" Forgot 誤訳侮辱 was in Jersey.

Zozobra is pretty damn excellent, that's for sure. So no one's heard the Attic album? I guess maybe I'll have to potentially take the bullet for you guys on that one.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 23:35 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, I heard the Attic album, wasn't particularly impressed one way or the other with it.
― Bound by Habitrails (J3ff T.), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 23:39 (eleven years ago) link
Thanks, for some reason the Mercyful Fate homage sounded like something I might need to hear, but maybe I'll just pop in my copy of Don't Break the Oath during tomorrow's commute instead and just get it out of my system without spending the ten bucks.
BTW, Ozzy's Darkthrone reaction was fantastic.
― HAPPY BDAY TOOTS (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Tuesday, 22 January 2013 23:44 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, it's definitely a Mercyful Fate homage, to the point where I'm not really sure why you wouldn't just listen to Mercyful Fate – the songs just aren't as good.

― this customer is a jerk (La Lechera), Wednesday, 23 January 2013 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
Another couple leftovers from last year I just came across:
- Hacktivist's 5-song EP: kind of sounds like djent with a grime vocalist. A combination which, for some reason, I really like.- Blacksoul Seraphim's Alms & Avarice: solemnly ethereal doom, not quite whispery enough to be funeral. Reminds me a bit of Pantheist.
Undecided on the new Helloween after 1 listen. Not yet convinced by the new Darkthrone after 3.
― glenn mcdonald, Wednesday, 23 January 2013 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't ever like a Deftones album, but that turns out to be wrong. Koi No Yokan is really good, and not at all the lunkish, shouty thing I expected.
