okay the new DHG is the first one since the last album i heard so i guess i didn't miss much! and listening to this on youtube i wonder if i would really need to hear this for an hour...pretty funny though.

"I doubt they would've called themselves a metal band at all until well into Barney's tenure..."
I think critics might have disagreed, but grindcore was not really one thing to be sure.

HHH is on the arena floor, swigging some fizzy beverage. Guy in a Liturgy shirt next to me wandered over to say hi but the second he moved, HHH drifted off to the other side of the floor, without looking. I now think he was drinking a special energy drink that gives him ESP

how straight fire does a band have to be in order to justify your tinnitus?

Fairly. They have to have guitar canons.

erm I own both their first 2 albums and the 12" (and the manifesto) why say i only heard them on spotify?

Because band like Liturgy, Deafheaven and Myrkur are thrust into our faces and we're told if we don't like them it's based on some kind of horrible, prejudiced elitism and not knowledge of the form that dates back to, you know, before last year.
However, at some point you need to just accept that the thing that you love may get more popular or have elements of it co-opted by other genres—and if you take a step back, that's part of what makes music or any other art form valuable to the culture.
"The culture." Yessss. Black metal is, traditionally, very concerned about the culture and integrating itself into it. That's why the word "misanthropy" figured into half of the early album titles in the genre.

lol that article is such garbage. p lol that somebody'd bother to write it and then somebody'd read it and go "this is good, let's publish this"
― tremendous crime wave and killing wave (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Saturday, 31 October 2015 04:13 (eight years ago) link
suspect it was more like "this is bad and will generate pageviews via its badness, let's publish this"
it is extraordinarily feeble though and I suspect the tone of wounded surprise to be disingenuous, which makes it worse

pretty sure i defended this album when it came out but with time and experience i realize that i don't even really get it. aesthethica was great though.
seeing these dudes tonight.

Mr. HHH, on the astronomically small chance that you read this, please understand that I genuinely love Liturgy, but goddamn it you make it so hard to defend you sometimes

Aluk Todolo really need a thread of their own and Oranssi Pazuzu too but I think we missed the boat on that.

his 'Mitrial Transmission' album from a few years ago is a favourite of mine, hypnotic processed gamelan pieces. not heard the new stuff

From the review I read it's apparently MIDI triggered by drums. This is on my to do list but not high priority...

Mitrial Transmission is amazing.

Huh on the track here it sounds like the kick drum is triggering the synth bass, which always reminds me of playing Roland V-Drums in a music store in the late '90s.
