Rolling Metal 2019

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

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.

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?

Yep, Taake meets Kenny G or whatever.

Yacht Metal.

Blackgazey stuff is not usually my thing but the WW track sounds good, yeah.

there's a new Deiquisitor album, highly recommended if you like threshing riffs and blastbeats

Sonata Arctica fans are pissed that the new tune is mid-tempo

The new Deiquisitor is good, yeah. Feels like a slight step up from the last one.

2/3 of discordance axis. no dave witte but still sounds pretty good

And from the looks of that Bandcamp page, they've also got vocal-less 'karaoke' tracks of the whole album (which in fairness is probably only 10 minutes tops, so they've got to fill it out a little).

they did the same think with the last gridlink record

needless to say: can't wait for whatever the fuck that is

I've heard it. It's great.

Negură Bunget's final lineup (minus the late Gabriel Mafa, who was the sole remaining member of the OM era) are back under a new name, Sur Austru. Folk outweighs metal here, even more so than on Tău and ZI, for which I have more fondness than I should, and everything comes across as by-the-numbers, but fuck it, I like this better than Syn Ze Șase Tri, so I might as well hear the rest when it comes out in September:

The actual good news is that a new Dordeduh (featuring two OM-era Negură Bunget members) album is apparently in the works. Their debut, Dar de duh, is the best thing the Transylvanian BM constellation has produced aside from OM, so I've got high hopes for LP2.

Yes it’s kind of a big mess with all these Negura Bunget offshoots but all these people consistently produce excellent music, at least if you’re not put off by the usual folky flutes.

oh that Dordeduh news is very cool, thought they had just become Sunset in the 12th House

this tomb mold record had me from hello, they didn't need to win me over with the blue nile concept lol

Finnish BM that draws on the ravings of trance-preacher and cult leader Maria Åkerblom:
