xp There's also a quite overlooked album by a band called Vin de Mia Trix (I mentioned it upthread) which is loooong but really very good.

Regarding folksy stuff the latest Botanist album is one of my fave albums of the year in any genre, and I heard this EP recently:

https://arstidirlifsins.bandcamp.com/album/heljarkvi-a

and thought it was pretty dece. Oh and Enslaved dribbled something out a while back idk.

That first Paradise Lost album was one of my falling asleep records for years. Gave me some weird dreams. Good to hear they've returned to that sound.

good year for melodic prog-metal for anyone looking for stuff that's on the less-brootal side

man put this new godflesh on in the club

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 01:25 (six years ago) link

everything I'm hearing about it is that it slays utterly

she carries a torch. two torches, actually (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 01:32 (six years ago) link

i'm halfway through and yep

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 01:36 (six years ago) link

it's fucking fantastic. NYCNative's review is pretty spot-on. the song "Be God" is massiiiiiiiive.

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 01:41 (six years ago) link

just got to the end of the godflesh, pretty sure the last track is cursed. fucking awesome album

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 02:00 (six years ago) link

it's just the right length too, which is not always/often the case with Broadrick things

Simon H., Tuesday, 21 November 2017 04:52 (six years ago) link

occvlta?

i regret never getting around to listening to the new immolation

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 18:49 (six years ago) link

More new Krallice! https://krallice.bandcamp.com/album/go-be-forgotten

Really liked this on first listen (although I can't pronounce anything about it), esp string coda to track 2. Botanist obv great.

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 19:09 (six years ago) link

first track on the new krallice wasn't doing much for me but the second track is overwhelming

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 19:45 (six years ago) link

yeah this is phenomenal. what a good and bizarre band

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 21 November 2017 19:58 (six years ago) link

what, they're just doing band things, making records, playing shows, rocking out

j., Tuesday, 21 November 2017 20:42 (six years ago) link

so far I like this much better than Loum

That's a pretty good batch! Along more prog pop lines there's KOYO and Gold Key, and psych prog there's Kairon; IRSE!, Ghost Against Ghost, Kabbalah, Atavismo, Himmellegeme, Amplifier, The Dials, and most likely my album of the year, Motorpsycho.

Fastnbulbous, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 18:21 (six years ago) link

the Kairon; IRSE will be high on my list for sure

Simon H., Wednesday, 22 November 2017 18:22 (six years ago) link

and of course I will be big-upping my False Metal pick of the year, Disperse's Foreword

Simon H., Wednesday, 22 November 2017 18:26 (six years ago) link

what's false about it Simon? (i like false metal)

alpine static, Wednesday, 22 November 2017 18:54 (six years ago) link

to quote myself from back in March or whatever

it sounds like someone went into the 1975's studio when they were off on spliff breaks and tried to make prog-metal using their setup

Simon H., Wednesday, 22 November 2017 18:59 (six years ago) link

Thanks! I shall hear this album today.

new Tribulation song/video

Simon H., Thursday, 23 November 2017 01:37 (six years ago) link

I am not overwhelmed by that new Tribulation.

The Fortnightly Intruder (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 23 November 2017 13:45 (six years ago) link

@Brad any good metalcore-y stuff this year? I wasn't that struck by this year's August Burns Red, though I am enjoying this Ghost Key album I discovered completely by accident while looking for something else

Simon H., Thursday, 23 November 2017 14:17 (six years ago) link

i didn’t engage much beyond being bored by the abr

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 23 November 2017 14:28 (six years ago) link

thought the previous two Cavalera Conspiracies were pleasant if not memorable, this third one is actually much better in my eyes.

enjoying it a lot.

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 November 2017 19:00 (six years ago) link

ok the voiceover in the last track is ridiculous

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Thursday, 23 November 2017 19:17 (six years ago) link

apparently Prurient plays synth on this album which even though I like the guy I have a hard time imagining to be a hugely necessary teamup

thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 23 November 2017 21:02 (six years ago) link

Dawn Ray'd alb is good black metal w/ violin. though sometimes the moments where it appear seem tacked on rather than organic

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Friday, 24 November 2017 15:30 (six years ago) link

speaking of good black metal,

Dawn Ray'd disappointed me because I'm ready for some angry lefty bm but it didn't grab me much.

ultros ultros-ghali, Friday, 24 November 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link

what do you non-journalists use to keep up with upcoming metal releases? I used Lambgoat's release calendar for the longest time, but something is seriously fucked with it lately. it didn't have the Cannibal Corpse release date, it didn't have In Flames, didn't have Taake, didn't have Exhumed....

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Friday, 24 November 2017 17:07 (six years ago) link

I follow this guy/organization on Bandcamp, and find him/they add/buy/review a thorough enough chunk of new releases to stay on top of things enough (at least as a non-cvlt outside observer) :https://bandcamp.com/metalbandcamp

Rad Macca (Craig D.), Friday, 24 November 2017 17:10 (six years ago) link

I regularly read Invisible Oranges and No Clean Singing, the latter is a bit uncritical and hyperbolic about some fairly ordinary stuff but both are good for finding new releases.

ultros ultros-ghali, Friday, 24 November 2017 17:19 (six years ago) link

rateyourmusic charts, this thread and idk following the white rabbit of stuff i already like

imago, Friday, 24 November 2017 17:24 (six years ago) link

Guys. If you love Immolation. And you love Atonement...see them open gor Mayhem. Holy shit.

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 25 November 2017 02:38 (six years ago) link

Been thinking about it. They're playing NYC next Saturday.

grawlix (unperson), Saturday, 25 November 2017 02:42 (six years ago) link

Seen em 4x and this was the best one by far

fuck you, your hat is horrible (Neanderthal), Saturday, 25 November 2017 02:44 (six years ago) link

Technically 2018 but Portal have a new song out:

https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/ion

It sounds like Portal!

ultros ultros-ghali, Saturday, 25 November 2017 16:02 (six years ago) link

amazing

Simon H., Saturday, 25 November 2017 16:50 (six years ago) link

it certainly sounds like portal

imago, Saturday, 25 November 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link

i wish my reaction to portal was stronger than 'this is impressive i guess'

imago, Saturday, 25 November 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link

bet they're incredible live mind

imago, Saturday, 25 November 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link

Yup. Very cool live.

EZ Snappin, Saturday, 25 November 2017 18:29 (six years ago) link

That song didn't blow me away but I'm about ready for something new from them.

Also I've been listening to this, slightly weird black/death w/fretless bass and impressive drumming. I almost gave it a miss because of the crappy band name but it's good:
