Can't link from my phone, but some very serious allegations have been made against Maynard from Tool/APC.

jesus fucking christ that is horrible
― flamenco blorf (BradNelson), Monday, 25 June 2018 17:39 (five years ago) link
I saw APC that same summer and have a rather horrible feeling at the pit of my stomach pondering whether anything might have gone down there.
― Simon H., Monday, 25 June 2018 17:43 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I saw that NIN tour too.
On a very different note, I get that Tom can do whatever he wants with his art, but Triptykon are a really fucking good band, and to see them reduced to a "special Celtic Frost set" because human-jukebox shows pay better is a fucking bummer.

Yeah, the 80s kid in me drools over the all-CF set, but Triptykon is plenty exciting on its own.

Deep breath. I have to anonymously tell this story because I tried to tell it from my real account and couldn't name him directly out of fear, so I deleted the tweets. Here goes: I was 17 and he was 36. 1/— Iwas17HeWas36 (@IWas17HeWas36) June 23, 2018

There’s some talk here about similar stories that have gone around about Maynardhttps://www.reddit.com/r/nin/comments/8tssdl/not_nin_but_a_woman_accused_maynard_keenan_of/(not that there needs to be more bc that twitter thread is devastating on its own )

On a totally different note, the new Anicon is wonderful - much like the Tomb Mold, a sonic upgrade that sacrifices a little grime and mystery but somehow preserves what makes them great
― Simon H., Tuesday, 26 June 2018 03:31 (five years ago) link
Yeah, I love that Anicon. Loved their debut from a couple years ago and this seems even better. That definitely have their own sound.

Yeah, the Visigoth album is really good. Also Witchfyre and Iron Hunter, two bands from Spain who share a vocalist.

I'm really enjoying the six four-song EPs that Beastmaker (doom trio from Fresno) have put out for $1 each. "Dollar-bin doom" isn't a genre, but based on this, it should be.

New Deicide album in September (yay!). Produced by Jason Suecof (ummm...). Cover looks like the artist showed Benton a half dozen different sketches and he said "Yeah, dude, these are awesome! Can you put 'em all together into one big image?"

New Kevin Hufnagel is really good imo, less digital processing, more focused on melody and 80s shredder sounds (without much actual shredding): https://kevinhufnagel.bandcamp.com/album/messages-to-the-past

the first track on that Kevin Hufnagel album is like everything I ever liked about Joe Satriani crammed into 3 minutes.

Listening to the full-length debut by Trevor Church of Beastmaker's other band, Haunt, which is coming out in August on Shadow Kingdom. It's more trad metal than doom, but just as stripped-down and awesome as the Beastmaker EPs; the dude is basically Wino and Chris Black rolled into one person, plus he's the son of Montrose/Sammy Hagar bassist Bill Church, a fact which will likely interest only me.

Wow, the new Imperial Triumphant record is fantastic. Detuned black metal combined with Glenn Branca/Sonic Youth clang-storms and a seven-member horn chorale (three trumpets, three trombones and a tuba), guest vocalists galore...it's fucking awesome. Review coming on BA this week.
― grawlix (unperson), Monday, 9 July 2018 17:08 (five years ago) link
RIP Brett Hoffman
New Immortal is pretty killer tbh. Saw a review that talked about it lacking the "arena rock" flourishes that Abbath would've brought but, come on, "Gates to Blashyrkh" is lighters-up anthemic.
Also this Pact album
http://moribundrecords.bandcamp.com/album/enigmata
RIYL Blizzard Beasts and Morbid Angel derived death metal with a dash of modern black metal. Very fun. I know after the Northern debacle Moribund is looking pretty bad but I like to report on the rare occasions they release something interesting.

New Pig Destroyer song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ5HxdNlpMk
Listening to the album now. 12 tracks, 31 minutes. A few guests (Kat from Salome, Richard Johnson from Agoraphobic Nosebleed, some other folks). I continue to believe PD peaked with Terrifyer, but Metal Twitter and all the blogs will jizz in their pants over this one.
― grawlix (unperson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 16:39 (five years ago) link
oh that's exciting, couldn't tell what to make of the new song except that it's groovier and slower in an interesting way i think
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 16:43 (five years ago) link
it reminds me of....slipknot? (in mostly a not-bad way)
― Simon H., Tuesday, 10 July 2018 17:01 (five years ago) link
That does nothing for me. The drums, I don't like the drums - they lack the kind of oomph I expect from them. And the song itself is fairly blah, I've already forgotten the riff. I just stuck on Book Burner for comparison and yeah, I won't remember the riffs from this either, but it still leaves me with a feeling.
