New stuff I like from old bands:
The new Satan record is more of the majestic metal we have come to expect from the band. While reviewing it I noticed that their debut was one of the best albums of 1983 and the first comeback album was one of the best albums in 2013. Can you name a band in any genre that can claim two of the best albums of the year thirty years apart?
The new one from The Skull is doomy and psychedelic, the best of both '80s and '90s Trouble rolled into one album.

Finland's Radux is Nuclear Assault Redux on their debut EP Disaster Imminent on Svart Records. Derivative but fun.

Obituary came close; their last album was great, 28 years after their debut.

for some reason i got sucked into a looong (and only part 1) and somewhat cheaply made documentary about Rigor Mortis last night....hilariously narrated by Phil Anselmo who is also a talking head in it...
anyway kind of interesting, though jeez it's detailed almost a gig by gig breakdown
def some wild texas boys

new thou record is their best, very tuneful, nice guitar tones, there's a weird black metal interlude way down in the mix at one point for reasons unknown
― adam, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 20:52 (six years ago) link
I was at the debut of that doc with the Rigor Mortis guys doing a Q&A. They told stories they left out of the doc because they were “in poor taste”

um so how'd that go
― Paul Reverse and the rediaRs (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Tuesday, 4 September 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
They were in poor taste. And some slightly criminal.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 23:13 (six years ago) link
I'm sure I've mentioned this before, but I met Bruce when Warbeast played NYC a couple of years ago. Super nice guy. And Rigor Mortis were great. Mike Scaccia was easily one of the most criminally under-recognized guitarists of the whole thrash era. He did some shit even with Ministry ("TV Song") that's fucking mind-blowing.

I feel like he was born with the speed picking ability of one of those 1960s country dudes lilke Joe Maphis but he turned it towards evil

The Rigor Mortis guys were such sweethearts to me every time I met them. Sadly I didn't get to see them with Mike.

I liked the last one a lot, and this one sounds pretty good on first listen.

yeah, on first impression seems to split the difference between the last one and the older stuff, with a nice sheen.

New Satan album is out and, on first listen, would appear to have RIFFS

Brian Ross is 64, still sounds awesome, and concurrently handles vocal duties for a whole-ass other band (Blitzkrieg)

I reviewed the Satan record and agree with all of the above comments!

Listening to the Siege of Power album, which is Chris Reifert on vocals and three dudes from Asphyx and/or Hail of Bullets and/or Grand Supreme Blood Court on guitar, bass, and drums. Care to guess what it sounds like?

If you like Krisiun, you will like the new Krisiun album a lot. It's head-down, blasting death metal with no intros or other BS. Eight tracks in 38 minutes: they come, tear your face off, and leave. I saw them completely smoke Nile live about 10 years ago. This year, they're playing with Suffocation (on Frank Mullen's farewell tour), Cattle Decapitation and Soreption, a band I'm not familiar with - the NYC date is 11/16, and I might just go.

The new Satan and The Skull are amazing
Passing up Priest and Purple tonight to interview Aaron Turner when Sumac plays in town.

been revisiting some albums from earlier this year. so far, Usurpress and Tomb Mold seem to be the ones I'm most likely going to expend energy stumping for at year's end
― wayne trotsky (Simon H.), Monday, 10 September 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
A lot of good records, but I feel I haven't found the top 3 records of the year yet.Recommended at least: Abigor, Krisiun, Necrophobic, Summoning, Ungfell, Urfaust, Wiegedood, Varathron, Skeletal Remains, Messa, Kły, Funeral Mist, Cosmic Church, Délétère, Ataraxy, Alrakis

There's an advance track on their bandcamp, I've seen some dispiriting reax to it, I'm going to wait to hear the whole thing at once. Coven was a bit of a chore but I'm hopeful some of the magic of their prior work comes back.

saw Sumac the other night and they completely blew me away. new stuff sounds great live. touring with Dalek who also crushed

I also caught that tour in Philly. Did an interview with Aaron Turner that I am very happy with. Will link to it when it runs next week.

SektarismFils de Dieu(End All Life Productions)French funeral doom mines the same cacophonous desolation of avant-guitarist Caspar Brötzmann's Massaker.

going to have to check that Sektarism out later, you've definitely intrigued me
but let me just say before I take a nap: the expanded Saxon reissues rule

sektarism p nice stuff - feel like there's a sort of live-room-sound thing going on in weirdo doom right now. like some late jeweled antler collective impact here or something
