Yeah, that one's kind of interesting. I just gave it a first listen a couple nights ago. Like a grindy Gorguts.

I like a 14 song record in less than 15 mins.. lol

Yeah, Tibi et Igni is excellent. Lots of fun, not "experimental" or "progressive" to any discernible degree, just kick-ass thrashy death metal delivered w/ utter conviction (and a bit of unintentional humor). Probably not gonna displace De Profundis or Litany or w/e as anyone's very favorite Vader album, but damn near peerless in its niche. Problem w/ having been on a roll for 20-some years is that you never get to have the glorious comeback that makes everyone take notice.

Lol, missed Siegbran's comment. Best since Litany? Maybe so, but I don't know that it's such a massive improvement over, like, Impressions in Blood and Welcome to the Morbid Reich.

Haven't heard (or heard of) Piss Vortex. Not typically a grind fan, but curious...
...and shit yeah, Gorguts loom large, right there in the opening track's guitar tone. Good but mostly affirms my not-grindness. HC vocal bug.

Of the few grind records I've heard this year, I like the Brutal Blues album a lot more. The 'psychedelic' tag is weirdly fitting.

Mansion's Uncreation EP is up on Bandcamp now too! I nominated this one unheard.

fuck, this brutal blues ep is killer! half the "psychedelic" seems to consist of vocal echo, but i love the manic repetitions, lazer streak guitars, natural-sounding kit, everything. never liked noxagt half this much.

also, was superstupid to cut alraune's the process of self-immolation from my list at the last minute. devastating album.

imago, you were the first person ever to bring Kayo Dot to my attention; what do you think of Coffins on Io
― wince (Drugs A. Money), Thursday, 25 December 2014 22:05 (nine years ago) link
it's really great, a sort of elaboration on (or intensification of) the underrated Coyote; has great tunes and ideas; erases the masturbatory fug of Hubardo somewhat

still cannot actually credit YOB getting all these plaudits on the basis of that final track but hey-ho, post-rock is a respected genre
― imago, Friday, 26 December 2014 00:46 (nine years ago) link
track two tho

"marrow" isn't "wicked game", exactly. it's more like fat bedhead. and i'm okay with that, as post rock is and has long been a respected genre.

plus you are underestimating the extent of geddy lee.

Might ring in the bells with our #1 album this year. Here's to a good 2015 to everyone!

Hi metal people of ilx,
Voting is currently in progress for the big sitewide EOY poll, and I hope that many of you will submit a ballot! If everyone who voted for the #1 album here also voted for it in the ILM poll, it would come in the top 10 for sure. If for some reason you're not stoked at the idea of sharing your favourite music with the rest of the board, maybe you can consider it a favour in return for my helping out with the metal poll every year.
