Only Isolate is on Spotify fwiw (for some reason)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 15:08 (seven years ago) link
yeah they seem to be headed into a heavier keyboard direction while I head in a heavier metal direction. Isolate's good though.

pillars is super keyboardy but the morse code one feels real pared down to me. fav band of the year at least, easily

also the zao record is extremely good thank u simon
yeah it really comes alive in the middle section

I completely missed that Truckfighters had one this year
I love that band, could never miss a new release from them, though there's less fanfare I suppose since it's been only two years since Universe. Greenleaf is great but I still think Truckfighters do the desert fuzz thing best. I forgot to CTRL-F for Greenleaf, hopefully there's no other repeats in my list.

Abnormality - Mechanisms of Omniscience
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 15:58 (seven years ago) link
Oh wow, I was completely misremembering Mesarthim as something else! This is the little space one. I like it a lot. Yeah, Pillars is beautiful. Listening to Isolate now for the first time - lovely majestic fuzz.

Mesarthim are the band that sounds like Summoning IN SPACE
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 16:07 (seven years ago) link
It is also a bit like if Botanist were upset and tending to his greenhouse IN SPACE
Wow though, this is really too much.

Isolate is a 2015 record it seems
― Dave Plaintive rapper with classical training (imago), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 16:15 (seven years ago) link
i really love that abnormality record, feel like they stepped it up all around, the riffs are better and even a little metalcore-y in parts, and the song structures occasionally get real abstract without losing their sense as songs (a problem in tech death)
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 16:16 (seven years ago) link
Mesarthim did two EPs (Spire, Pillars) and an album (Absence) this year - that's plenty. Nominate Spire I guess
― Dave Plaintive rapper with classical training (imago), Wednesday, 7 December 2016 16:17 (seven years ago) link
Isolate PHYSICAL release came out this year. It stays.
― Cosmic Slop, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 16:28 (seven years ago) link
Oh OK! Will listen to it then ;)

If anyone needs more atmospheric black metal IN SPACE you should try Mare Cognitum - Luminiferous Aether, it's reet good
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:16 (seven years ago) link
So glad someone nominated Xoth upthread. Saw them with Vektor and they stole the show. The bass player is a total character and also their producer. They seem to be on all the good metal bills in Seattle so I'm happy to have a rad local band to follow.
― Yelploaf, Wednesday, 7 December 2016 18:26 (seven years ago) link
This year has been a giant leap for space metal.

Now closed and just waiting on voting form to be set up by seandalai.
Voting will end FRIDAY DECEMBER 16 regardless so I suggest forming your shortlists/listening now.
― Cosmic Slop, Thursday, 8 December 2016 11:53 (seven years ago) link
Dammit. Bloodiest.
― Fastnbulbous, Thursday, 8 December 2016 16:30 (seven years ago) link
just realized Khthoniik Cerviiks - SeroLogiikal Scars (Vertex of Dementiia) was nominated, came out Dec '15. This is a great record! For fans of the Cadaveric Fumes/Khanus end of weirdo death metal.
― Dominique, Thursday, 8 December 2016 16:33 (seven years ago) link
seandalai has told me he will set up voting tonight and sorry for the delay. If anyone has forgotten to nominate anything now is your chance.
I suggest you may want to start your shortlists anyway as voting will have to end next friday.

Listening to Cadaveric Fumes and finding it great fun. It's like a death metal Castlevania.

Inquisition - Bloodshed Across the Empyrean Altar Beyond the Celestial Zenith
I just found out about this band and haven't heard this yet but can we throw it on just in case it turns out to be good? Cheers

It's already nominated, vote with impunity.
― rudy githyanki (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 12 December 2016 04:55 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, it's nominated under a truncated title. It's great, too. Probably in my top 10.
