A little last minute campaigning for Imprecation, which doesn't seem to get as much love as it should. If you have a taste for the slower end of old-school death metal, this is one worth checking out.
for real tho. best DM album of 2019 by far in my opinion.

This is going to sound completely idiotic but for me the coolest thing about Tomb Mold imo is the vox; singer manages to conform his voice to the exact timbre of a heavy cement lid scraping across a coffin. imo they're one of the latest in a long tradition throughout r'n'r history of great bands that are just perfectly named (like, say, Talking Heads , for instance)

Being Canadian they should know better than to omit the 'u', but I forgive them because two four-letter words in a row are inarguably more badass.

You weren't kidding about the Imprecation. I might have to tweak my ballot after all.

Shit, I have to get on the stick and do this.It may be the last time I can.

Godspeed or this Cro-Magnon will club your ass.

― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Sunday, 16 February 2020 15:58 (four years ago) link
part of my issue is anything released early in te year I barely remembered so I had to relisten
― sorry for butt rockin (Neanderthal), Sunday, 16 February 2020 15:59 (four years ago) link
Wait, this Lingua Ignota album is awesome.

Caligula snuck up on me too. At first I thought it was too slow and boring, then I found myself craving to hear it in the middle of the workday, after a fever dream at 3:00am, etc

isn't that always the way. tbf you do that with Mahler too

Have compiled a (quite short) ballot (god I really hate metal lol) but might try to add to it if I find anything deserving
Nero Di Marte album is 2020 you cheeky so and so :P it can wait
― imago, Monday, 17 February 2020 10:42 (four years ago) link
Ha! Good catch.
I've deleted it. It can and must indeed wait.

Anyone else here fucking with Jorge Elbrecht's Coral Cross project? I know tangenttangent at least (& LJ too?)(happy birthday btw) got some mileage from the also-great Gloss Coma album he released this year, but Coral Cross is special: another strand of that experimental BM syncretism I was talking about a while ago, but Elbrecht pairs his black metal with spectral keyboards, chanting vox, eerie sound efx, & even some influence from John Carpenter's soundtracks. The resultant hybrid sounds goth af:

Yeah HB LJ! (couldn't find one thread among the dozens of ban lj threads, sheesh)
I'm def down for some BM w/ keys and chanting vox, will get on it!

Ohh LBI I have a feeling you'll dig this a lot!

Happy birthday LJ indeed! Also, that record sounds interesting.

Man, this Jorge Elbrecht rules. Had to check if it was the same guy who did some stuff with Ariel Pink (stuff I didn't care for), and it is. He's going all out here isn't he? Sounds... proggy as hell too?! This is my shit though, thanks for that DAM!

I have a ballot with about 15 albums on it, and a ballot with about 5 albums on it, and I'm deciding between them. Obviously tt's ballot will be like 50 or whatever, she is much more metal than me

Can anyone recommend any 2019 metal that's good to accompany an insane board game about birds? (imago says: 'not hatebeak')
― tangenttangent, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 17:02 (four years ago) link
Not 2019 maybe but Satyricon “Black Crow On A Tombstone” is an anthem.
― Siegbran, Tuesday, 18 February 2020 17:42 (four years ago) link
of course 'bird-grind' is a thing
