For fans of post-punk or goth or that 80s thang.... Beastmilk - Climax

vulgar firsties post ahoy: enthused about the second EP on the rolling goth thread and iirc no-one paid any notice. granted this might be because no-one reads the rolling goth thread. anyway this band are really good and I'm glad they're building a rep

there's a rolling goth thread?

most disgusting band + album name combo

Fenriz reps for these guys but

recreates the haunting, gothic air that wraps itself around albums like the Cure’s Disintegration, Joy Division’s Closer, or the Sisters of Mercy’s Floodlands

can somebody show me the band that combines the Cure's Disintegration, Joy Division's Closer, the Sisters of Mercy's Floodlands (sic), and Blue Man Group

this is wayyyy more propulsive & rocktacular than that trite description might have u believe aeroboot

do you like anasazi? not really into goth but they're pretty cool, and great live

just threw their Sacred Bones 7" on a few hours ago - yeah I dig em

i did that display name before btw

I saw people mentioning this band as early as mid 2012 on a local metal message board and turned my nose up at the disagreeable (and totally incongruous) name, even as those mentions turned to effervescent praise once the album was released last year. Now I feel like a schmuck; this would've made my 2013 top 10.

dammit xp

this album continues to be a total blast, just super fun somehow

Cool, Linnéa Olson of The Oath is with them now. And she has a sweet In Solitude patch.

*Olsson, sorry

Beastmilk's just starting a European tour with In Solitude right? Remember looking on that with envy

Yeah, I like that pairing. Both top albums of last year. I'm envious of Scandinavia in general, basically.

In some kinda way, this feels like the better version of that Savages record. Too bad they got all the attention.

Well don't sleep on the Dark Blue album like everyone did with Beastmilk.

"Ghosts Out Of Focus" is such a great song.

xp Will check out Dark Blue. In the meantime, I'm certainly not sleeping on Pig Eyes:

May be worth a post on the rolling metal thread.

Sadly, due to irreconcilable differences, we have parted ways with our co-founder, guitarist and friend Johan “goatspeed” Snell.
We ask you to understand that both sides did absolutely everything they could to make things work, but were unable to find a way to continue together. We all wish Johan the very best, but the show must go on.
Given theses circumstances Beastmilk will continue to forge ahead, but will assume the new identity of Grave Pleasures.
The band is on atomic fire, with a new album and new members in our ranks. We look forward to seeing you at all of the shows, where we will play your favourite Beastmilk tracks, alongside brand new material from the forthcoming album. We'll continue to update you here about all our new exciting plans. For now, here is the official statement from Beastmilk:

Beastmilk transforms into Grave Pleasures. New album in the works!
The Finnish band formerly known as Beastmilk, shall now go under the name of Grave Pleasures, following the departure of co-founding member Johan "goatspeed" Snell.
Given the circumstances Beastmilk will continue, but under the new guise of Grave Pleasures.
Along with the name change, new live/studio guitarist Juho Vanhanen (Oranssi Pazuzu) has joined the band, while guitarist Snell departs the ranks.
Juho V. is welcomed into Grave Pleasures by frontman Kvohst, bassist Arino and guitarist Linnea Olsson (The Oath, Sonic Ritual) who joined the band earlier in 2014.
The band can also reveal that they will be signing a major label deal and that they will go into the studio in May with producer Tom Dalgety (Royal Blood, Killing Joke ) with the album set for release in September, followed by a European tour.
Singer and Climax song-writer Mat "Kvohst" says of the name and lineup change “The lineup has never been stronger! We’re really excited to perform material from the forthcoming album and classic songs from Climax. The name might change, but the songs and the performance will be better than ever."

quite hopeful of this producing something good although that is a weirdly uninspired name change

I'm not crazy about this one. Sounds slack and loses direction after the second chorus.

I think the proper single is still forthcoming.

has anyone heard the Grave Pleasures album yet?
