Weird death metal with saxophone and some kinda exotica-esque instrumental interludes. Track 5 is killer.

Sad news about Team Rock, but they really looked desperate in the last year. I honestly thought Metal Hammer would hang in there longer than the rest of the metal mags.

I wrote for the US version of Metal Hammer, which existed for about a year in 1999-2000.

New Antaeus man. At first I was like "ahh man, why'd I buy this, it's just blistering, blastering stuff I'm not really in the mood for" and then "Flesh Ritual" started unhinging things a little bit and by "Angels of Despair" I was in luuuv.

There's a 3CD tribute to Summoning just out In Mordor Where The Shadows Are, also featuring (who else than) Mesarthim.

I'm really liking this - would have made top ten in my metal poll this year.

listening to Spotify's year in metal 2016 review playlist i guess there was a new Korn album this year

I love everything about Mesarthim - and especially the space nerd stuff, like how the morse code at the end of this Summer's album was "the great filter approaches" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Filter ) and now this Type III thing ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardashev_scale ) - oh, and the morse code at the end of this new new EP spells out: "RIGHT ASCENSION 01H 53M 31.81479S DECLINATION 19 17 37.8790 LEFT HORN OF THE RAM" ( http://astrologyking.com/fixed-star-mesarthim/ )

Does it appeal to you more if I add that there's also lots of weird orchestral (like, a real orchestra) stuff going on? And I think there's a saxophone solo in the first song? And some violin? No?

If these dudes aren't signed to Profound Lore for their next album I'll eat my hat. I'll buy a hat first.

seriously it is GOOD. had the exact same "do I really need new Antaeus in 2016?" reaction and then just got completely caught up in the maelstrom.

listening to Seven Chains, some *very* Swans moments here. Not sure I find it all that engaging overall, but the band certainly isn't afraid to do non-death metal stuff.

Brad do you know if the two new EPs are the remnants of the scrapped 2nd album, done in the Isolate style?
(I suppose I could just start listening to their bandcamp and sort of judge for myself...)

right after thanksgiving iirc

Bandcamp lead times are print-mag long. The stuff I've written for them has run 4-6 weeks after I turn it in.
