the new Bergraven (not sure when it came out exactly) is absolutely fucking fantastic

would like to second this. lj check this out btw

Ok!

Cleric thing is them playing Zorn's compositions - maybe it's essential maybe not, but it's not something I've been gasping to hear yet

The Bergraven was cool but I kind of wanted them to drop the BM pretence and just stick to the prog.

This came out at the start of this month.

One-man black metal project from here in Philly.
Quite good if you like your black metal contemplative and ethereal.

if you like Morbid Angel & early Death you're clearly some kind of rare weirdo who would enjoy this Infernal Conjuration album

new Falls of Rauros and Wormed releases are fantastic

Haven't heard those yet but the new Lingua Ignota and Tomb Mold fuckin' RULE, as expected.

jesus did those all come out today

Lingua Ignota, finally!

Opening track sounds like she's mixed together Wagner and NIN.

Pretty fantastic on first listen.

It doesn't quite match the nigh unrelenting onslaught of All Bitches Die, as she gives herself more room for neo-medieval piano balladry, and its 66 minutes are harder to take in, but I know I'll keep coming back to it.

"Fragrant is My Many Flowered Crown" is about Midsommar even though that doesn't make chronological sense.

As with the last one, it's hard to imagine me listening to it much, but it strikes me on first listen as an amazing work of art.

That the new Tomb Mold is gut-cleavingly good bears repeating.

If nothing else they enjoy the greatest synergy of band name and sound of anyone in the game rn

Heh, that's true.

Yeah i am enjoying tf out of it

Looking forward to this album based on the teaser track:

Listened to Tomb Mold at an obnoxious volume in the car yesterday while running errands. Really hit the spot.

it's a good one!

that new Sempiternal Dusk sounds great. I love it when bands toss in a bit of disembowelment-style clean guitar.

Lingua Ignota is amazing but I'm not sure the metal thread is the place for it?

True, but ILM discovered her via the 2017 metal thread and she's signed to Profound Lore.

Fine. Well, it's amazing, and gets better with every listen

She clearly deserves her own thread, though, that's for sure.

She deserves her own thread but she is metal enough for me.

The Body, Full of Hell, and Uniform members are all on the new one too

Lmao at the revelation that the sequencing of the new Tomb Mold was inspired by the Blue Nile's Hats. Truly gunning for that metal poll #1

lmao of course

lol, this is a perfect instance of ‘thanks, I hate it’ from where I’m standing.

I tried the Tomb Mold album and it did exactly nothing for me.

I feel that way about the majority of hyped metal albums tbh.

I still just think of them as local weirdos so the newfound coverage level feels odd

The Body were astonishing on Saturday night.

I love the new Tomb Mold.
I also interviewed them in my car.

if you don't like Tomb Mold you probably don't like life and/or death metal

Life metal sucks

it's a Sunn 0))) album so that's self-evident

if you don't like Tomb Mold you probably don't like life and/or death metal

cosign

Life metal sucks

dis-sign

ayyy Crypt Sermon's got a new one coming

https://darkdescentrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-ruins-of-fading-light

Cherubs signed to Relapse?!

https://cherubs.bandcamp.com/album/immaculada-high

"Sooey Pig" sounds great... kinda excited

Ceremony also signed to them. I'm interested to see how Relapse markets a band that's really more in the realm of Sub Pop, or their old label Matador.

ahhhh new White Ward out v close to my birthday!!!

at last

I like that WW track as well even if I miss some of the tinnier/goofier lo-fi aspects of the sound. the idea of them stretching out and doing a wild opus-length record is v appealing to me

White Ward is the Black Metal / Smooth Jazz hybrid, right?
