<3 Black Witchery

Scumfest tonight. Not really metal, but apparently Swedish death metallers are fucking nuts about Mob 47. A bit of bother in the pit, but otherwise a good evening.

So apparently Morbid Angel were contractually obligated to play an all-oldies set at Maryland DeathFest? I find that kinda shameful and weak. I mean, I don't like more than a couple of songs off Illud Divinum Insanus, but to bring bands in purely to serve as nostalgia acts is not my idea of metal awesomeness.

well they could have got marilyn manson in if they wanted sub 90s style goth industrirock.

that is weird, but in fairness to the festival organizers, people would have burned down the fucking building if they'd had to hear some Illud. Death metal heads don't just hate that album. They haaaaaaaate it.

Going back to something talked about earlier: Enabler broke up on my porch on their last tour! The guy who used to play with Fall Out Boy (he actually mentioned that in the 1 short conversation I had with him and seemed to think it was a really amusing anecdote) called another guy in the band fat and all the cool guys quit. It was a big hooplah

Also roxy please call your next band Goatcoffin as it's a name that needs to be used.

Goatcoffin! that is great

There are many tribes in the Juggalo nation (Viceroy), Monday, 28 May 2012 23:49 (eleven years ago) link

That Coffinworm isn't really new, its a vinyl reissue of their 2010 demos with a couple other songs tacked on. There's a lot of overlap with their last album.

Their virgin offering, a self-released three-track demo, entitled Great Bringer of Night, demanded attention. In this initial offering COFFINWORM had given volcanic birth to a wretched, heaving slab of noxious, blackened death sludge of the lowest order, one that eventually led to their signing with Profound Lore and invitations to perform a number of high-profile live actions across the country. Hellish, depraved, and heavy as a neutron hammer, Coffinworm have truly created a monster.

The Flenser is pleased to be dragging this filthy gem, Great Bringer of Night, out into the sunlight to give it the treatment it so richly deserves. This deluxe version will include two additional unreleased recordings (five tracks total) from the same recording sessions in all their raw glory, and comes graced with the gorgeous artwork of Bryan Proteau (Lycus, Obolus) and a finely-tuned mastering job from James Plotkin (Khanate).

Goatcoffin is a lil close to home for me bc I had a pet goat that my ex boyfriend shot and killed - not sure if I've ever mentioned that here tho this is the thread to do it - it was many years ago

Haha it was super tragic but it was long enough ago that I can just lol @ life abt it

Also good at mdf were Horna!!! So glad I got to see them. And anvil were the most stoked people ever.

When we walk into Deathfest it is always ridiculous because my bf knows really almost every person we run into, and I just know journalists

the most astonishing writer on ilx (roxymuzak), Tuesday, 29 May 2012 23:49 (eleven years ago) link

I'm not sure that journalists count as people, anyway.

this is one of the best posts in the history of this thread & maybe this board though I can't really say why at length but A+ post man I love it

i did enjoy the imagined murkiness around who "the cool guys" in this band were

Man, my local shop is usually really good abotu stocking Profound Lore stuff, but the new Dawnbringer isn't even showing up on their release calendar and they haven't seen any copies yet. Guess I'll have to be super patient and order it direct from the label.

repost from the jesu thread

http://jesu.bandcamp.com/album/jesu-picture-disc-mix-unreleased-original-vision

This is the master that was NOT used for what became the Picture Disc Mix, this was intended to be the master, but was shelved last minute; this master was intentionally sampled at a higher rate, so as to achieve a 'pop' sound / production, unlike the mix to be found on the 'actual' jesu Self Titled, a move which would be an absolute travesty for some! And a move that was decided against at the last minute, so the master was resampled back to the original pitch and sent to be pressed as the Picture Disc. So, this master is unreleased, and available here for the first time, the 'actual' Picture Disc master, is also available here at Bandcamp.

The Picture Disc of the Self Titled Jesu album, was remixed entirely for the LTD ED Picture Disc version (1000 copies), released in 2006. An Alternative mix with quite significant differences to the original album mix; the concept was to remix it more 'cleanly', due to the original mix containing a lot of distortion. There are still clicks, etc in this mix though due to the nature of the original recording. Here, the album is now remastered in 2012, since the original Picture Disc master was intentionally mastered flat.

The catalyst for this entire remix of the album was the pressing plant who were to cut and press the picture disc - with the original master of the S/T, they claimed the original was to max'ed out and distorted to be cut to an picture disc! I was, at the time, intrigued by the concept of a cleaner, and even 'poppier' mix of this album, anyway, so set about cleaning the the thing up. Hence the re-sampled higher speed version; attempting to go even further with this 'pop' concept.
For the record, my personal favourite mix of this album IS the original mix, which is known, universally, as the debut jesu album 'S/T', the mix that made it to CD/Vinyl, etc, etc.

Justin K Broadrick. May 2012.

i have the pic disk and its great but apparently this is the "pop" version that should have been on the pic disk. So i think its worth $7 if its as good as the pic disk version (the only pic disk i have that sounds awesome btw)

Hey Neil S, I reposted your IBYM mix on The Quietus, I hope you don't mind. It's a while since I've listened to three Slayer albums before breakfast.

No probs- good to get it heard, fame at last etc.! Did Slayer attendees have a good time last Ftriday? I thought it was great, and awesome to see e.g. YOB on a huge stage with a great sound system.

Jon, all three Reckless locations has the Dawnbringer. The Loop one didn't have it in the morning, but it was supposed to be in the afternoon shipment. On first listen I love it, probably more than Nucleus.

Thanks! I was at the Loop one yesterday and they didn't have it, the dude I asked about it said it wasn't even showing up in their calendar. Now I'm guessing he must have misheard me or something. Think I'll swing by after work.

The new Dawnbringer's much better than Nucleus, a lot simpler almost. Plus Black's singing is a lot stronger.

A. Begrand, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 21:01 (eleven years ago) link

I listened to it this morning -- do they always have power ballads? I thought it was pretty enjoyable.

game of crones (La Lechera), Wednesday, 30 May 2012 22:44 (eleven years ago) link

That Loop location is annoying. The website says it still doesn't have it. Glad I went to Broadway instead.

Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 30 May 2012 23:11 (eleven years ago) link

Blergh. The new Dew Scented is sooooo boooooooooring. It's like they took the least exciting aspects of death, thrash, and hardcore and welded them together into a competently executed, thoroughly uninteresting package.

The Devil's Panini Machine (J3ff T.), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:03 (eleven years ago) link

Also they like Slayer.

The Devil's Panini Machine (J3ff T.), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:16 (eleven years ago) link

Who buys a record by a band named Dew Scent? The chance of it being decent are about 0.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 1 June 2012 01:21 (eleven years ago) link

hes a music critic of course he didn't buy it!!!! dont be silly!!!

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:24 (eleven years ago) link

This is their eighth album! How do they have eight albums?

And no, I didn't buy it, I'm reviewing it for a publication. Pro tip: nobody should buy it.

The Devil's Panini Machine (J3ff T.), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:37 (eleven years ago) link

I didn't say you did buy it. I'm just wondering once any pr at a label got their hands on them they didn't say, "Change the stupid ass name." After 8 albums it's too late though. Stupid ass name it is.

EZ Snappin, Friday, 1 June 2012 01:39 (eleven years ago) link

there's loads more bands with far worse names

it looks like something rupert the bear would wear (Algerian Goalkeeper), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:40 (eleven years ago) link

I don't know, they're German.

The Devil's Panini Machine (J3ff T.), Friday, 1 June 2012 01:40 (eleven years ago) link

I didn't say it was the worst band name, I didn't say J3ff bought, I just said the name is shitty and why would you buy anything from this shitty named band. THAT"S IT.
