Search: Metal that Sounds Like Glenn Branca

ambergris is sick

This Morko record is great. Sounds like a black metal This Heat. Admittedly I'm predisposed to love anything that sounds like "insert genre" This Heat.
Also - Did it really come out in 2008? Kind of amazed it's never crossed my path.

It did! I think they did a really limited run of physical copies - I actually got it because they saw a review I wrote of their second album and emailed me and offered a copy. Their newer one (long Finnish title, also on their bandcamp) is pretty weird too but different in style - IV almost seemed like an extended black metal Fall of Saigon, to continue the This Heat comparison.

Glad you guys liked Ambergris, too - as soon as I heard it I thought of this thread!

Damn. I need to track down a physical copy. I also need to book more Finnish shows for my bands so I have an excuse to go there and beg Morko to play the show.

is that the royal we or do u have a partner who enjoys metal that sounds like glenn branca,

The latter

next qn evidently a mystery to be solved by each adventurer alone

morko is gr8888888 omg

lol they're finnish of course they're a cross between BM and Circle

This ambergris is almost making me do the ol' invisible orange which means it's fucking rad

yeah it really is ridiculously good

For fans of discordance and Portal levels of chaotic murk, the most recent Aevangelist is pretty good:

I'm loving this track, it's an American 1-man project that sounds a bit like DSO played double speed with hints of Mick Barr-ish avant-shred. There's bits that sounds rather like Jute Gyte too. But it's probably at least as twice as complex as anything I've just mentioned.

I've never heard anything quite like this, though.

The album's out this month on The Flenser, who continue to be one of the best labels out there atm

Yeah, that's great.

The Flenser is quickly becoming one of my favorite record labels

this is so great

album is here btw: http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2015/02/20/mastery-valis/

MtSLGB fav Jute Gyte is back with a new album..... of synth noise v_v

btw if I f/w the Aevangelist from 2013 Omen Ex Simulacra but wasn't crazy about it, do I need to hear the new one? they say it has saxophone?

lol I got the email update too. going to work, can someone listen for me plz

xp Aevangelist does a weird thing to my head though, which I kinda dig -- has to do with the way the percussive death assault is so distinct, sonically, from the sotto voce wailing of lost souls & creaking metal in the background, so you can still hear the quiet parts even in the midst of the loud parts, except that they don't quite make sense anymore, & your brain rapidly oscillates between these two radically incompatible sides of a single perceived gestalt. it is the white&gold/blue&black/dancing girl of cavernous metal atmospheres

I just listened to the first three songs of the new Jute Gyte album on Bandcamp. If you're expecting something that even remotely connects with the Branca metal vibe, you'll be sorely disappointed. It sounds like third-generation Autechre to me. I'm not sure why he'd even release it under the Jute Gyte moniker, as it has nothing of the innovative, hallucinatory quality of his black metal stuff. Not that it's bad, just kinda boring and unrelated to the last few releases.

Anyone heard Akhlys "The Dreaming"? It's one of the dudes from Nightbringer. I was gonna post about this album in the rolling metal thread but thought the folks in this thread would especially appreciate it. I think anyone into Darkspace / Paysage d'Hiver, The Work Which Transforms God era Blut Aus Nord, Krallice on opioids, Emperor on DMT, etc. would dig this record. It also has dark ambient sections that move from haunting, blissful vibes to truly deranged and evil vibes seamlessly. When the guitars are laid on thick, it feels like Branca heaven.

not yet but yeah I've heard great things about it, looking forward to give it a listen

On track 3 now. Sounds pretty good so far.

holy shit Akhlys

Awesome thanks.

Uh... not quite sure if this fits the boundaries of the thread (if indeed there are any, but I have been toying with the idea of starting a catch-all avant/weirdo-metal thread though it might just be me that would post in it), but it's got the guitar contingent of Krallice along with Weasel Walter and Some Other Guy.

It basically sounds like four dudes playing four different deathgrind songs, with very occasional moments of synchronicity. On one level I like how fucked up and chaotic it is, on the other hand it begins to lose impact after a while and I'm not a fan of br00tal death vox.

Available for only $701.26 or more.

Oh and I wanted to like Akhlys but I found it had Dark Space disease, I mean it just hisses and rumbles away with zero impact. For me, anyway.

loooool

the pricing (and the art, and the track titles) surely have this down as a giant spoof

it even sounds like a spoof

the thinking person's anal cunt

"NO DIGIPAK. NO LOGOS. NO SONGS. NO TRIGGERS. NO LYRICS. NO BASS. NO SWEATPANTS. "

ok they're basically doing the whole j0hn d + colin s. barrow black metal fakeposting thing but with real death metal: http://foreverslainzine.com/2015/04/interview-encenathrakh/

:D

When we started, we were teenagers, fucking around and just learning to play, but we quickly learned the techniques we needed to create our vision, inspired by tons of sick bands like Infested Blood, Brodequin, Pustulated, Bound and Gagged, Orchidectomy, Amputated Genitals, Urinary Tract Infection From Severe Pus Clots, Guttural Secrete, Foetopsy, Anal Birth, Liturgy, Haemotodipsomania, Paracoccidioidomicosisproctitissarcomucosis, Wormed, Last Days Of Humanity, blah blah blah.

You can imagine the extra brutality of having a real mortician in the band! ha ha ha. Let’s just say he “loves his work”.

this is even in the style of Janne Karlsson et al - it's like they've read ILX

anyway, best metal lol in a while

Subversion and purist-baiting is fine by me, but I'm still not sure if it's 100% a 'joke' band since Mick Barr's kind of infamous for monomaniacal and inscrutable concepts taken to an absurd degree.

Though they're obviously having fun with the 'promotion'.

And those crappy electronic boop boop boop toms are pretty LOL as well but I'm not familiar w/ Weasel Walter enough to know if that's one of his 'things.'

weasel walter, based on what little i know, would be bang up for a joke metal album

More new Jute Gyte

For me the first track is a bit dull until the last minute, almost self-parodic, the second might be my favourite thing he's done.

Just as I leave the house!

Need to finish listening to his Autechre impression from earlier in the year, got a sneaky suspicion it's great

xp That opening riff on the first track is a bit sadtrumpet. Cosmic sadtrumpet.

Both tracks are great

Pretty into the first track.

yeah I like the first one more too

I just checked out 777: Cosmosophy a day or two ago. It's pretty great!

Finally bought this. What a beautiful album.

Blut Aus Nord could become one of my favourite bands if I didn't chicken out at the size of their discography and just not listen to them

fuck yeah the opening track of Cosmosophy is so amazing

Wow @ those Jute Gyte tracks, I'm really starting to feel like his despair wormholes are cutting ties with all other forms of recorded music

The way that riff in the first song just seems to ooze downward forever...

Fucking christ, Machinery That Renders Debt Infinite

Tbh, I've been fatiguing of JG a little, esp after listening to more microtonal heavy guitar rock. I don't know if it's just the volume of stuff he puts out or something about the vocals and/or drums. I will def listen to this new one though.

What else will you recommend?
