is that the Big Pun skit

Dude from Tchornobog has a solo doom project called Drown, the new album Subaqueous is pretty good. Name Your Price on BC, or you can get both his albums and a hand painted underwater landscape for $62.

^ This Finnish one man band made a surprisingly fun deathrock/boogie/stoner album, and he wants to put it out on vinyl, and I want him to put it out on vinyl. It's on Spotify and Bandcamp, too, if you want to check it out (Bernelius - Grave Dancer), then maybe pledge for the vinyl so I can get my copy too?

Featuring everyone's favourite metal musician Lingua Ignota, and spanning nine tracks of proggy, sludgy post-medievalism, here is PSALM ZERO.

https://psalmzero.bandcamp.com/album/sparta

The whole album is on Spotify

I interviewed all three members of Sightless Pit — Lingua Ignota, the dude from Full of Hell, and the dude from The Body — for the current issue of The Wire (Oneohtrix Point Never cover).

Spectral Lore and Mare Cognitum are apparently releasing a split triple LP, which is very on brand for both bands, but also, lollllllllll split triple LP

There's an awesome new Violet Cold album. Awesome if you don't mind lots of broken shards of other things in your one-man Azeri black metal, at least.

has this *ever* been done before? hilarious.

new Fluisteraars sounding really good, also can we have more sub-40 minute BM albums?

more metal albums under 40 minutes generally would be great

less than 30 is fine w/me

yeah. those are my fav.

I actually got through all of the latest Blood Incantation driving back from the doctor today, that was cool.

from last year, but 12/20 so it was practically 2020....but I'm really digging Mephistofele's "Satan Sex Ceremonies".

yeah, they're definitely riding in the Electric Wizard-y 70s evil doom lane, but hey I'll always take more of that.

Otm, it is really good! Expected nothing less, they don't disappoint.

One of those BM bands doing zero innovating, simply delivering wonderful atmosphere and deeply pleasing chord progressions.

Absolutely, they're so consistent and just deliver the goods every time. When you hear those first chord progressions on a new album it's just like a warm bath: 'Ahh, so glad they're back'.

some very weird and wild saxophone-and-grand-piano-heavy black metal from Sweden here -- ferocious and creative, great stuff

hello

The Sightless Pit album is very very good. Will check out any metal album with saxophone, btw

wow i really love this seeds in barren fields album thank you joan

yet another metal album under 40 minutes

Will check out any metal album with saxophone

This has been true for me since I first heard The Painter's Palette in high school

right now metal with trumpet is where it's at. count me in the Fluisteraars praise

sorry, no trumpet, but here's new Ulcerate track from their upcoming album:
https://ulcerate.bandcamp.com/track/stare-into-death-and-be-still

my favorite of the technical death metal bands (non-Gorguts division)

Is there trumpet on the fluisteraar?

yes! celestial twinklings also have been heard, and a vocalist anouncing it by perfectly executing the Dave Wyndorf aaaahhhhhhh: Nasleep. metal soundtracking blossoming is my thing now. in love w this rec

Speaking of celestial twinklings, here's an advance track for the new Lustre album, scheduled for April 24.

This time they've got a full band lineup and gone full-on prog metal with operatic vocals and blastbeats and...ah who am I kidding it sounds exactly the same as ever:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw4Ldo1P0zA

i never count out lustre, although in terms of 'weird ambient synth metal siegbran brought to ilm that i now religiously listen to' nothing will ever beat moldova's finest

I loved the last three Ulcerate albums. This song sounds great and has me really excited for the release. I am also really hoping they do a tour date in my city. They're a bucket list show for me.

this is my shit

It's really nice to have Green Carnation back making new music.

https://youtu.be/X0BD5KGuZ1M

oh wow! always loved those guys. I need more good wimp metal in my life

this sounds promising so far

And I continue to enjoy the hell out of this run of Body Count albums.

I'll get to it after the new My Dying Bride but liked the last BC a lot

It's more of the same (including a few clunkers as usual), which is fine by me

The BC?

The new Body Count is really good. This is my favorite track:

FIRE

The new Fluisteraars comes with horns and split-second glitched-up vocals and it reframes blackgaze beyond its usual bag of tricks so I don't think it's fair to say there's no innovation involved at all.

Polish ritual sludge with a post-rock slant, a smattering of kraut, avant, folk/jazz elements, echoes of Fushitsusha and… ah fuck it, just follow this link, it's one of the best metal albums to have come out this year:

https://dola.bandcamp.com/releases

^^^ that's great! first track didn't really grab me but as the album goes on it gets more trippy and interesting.

A fair assessment.

rolling metal 2020 with trumpet: Kelly Conlon plays trumpet in the new Azure Emote. wasn't, iirc, one of our own, who while reviewing their record before, wisely encouraged them to trim some fat ffs? they didn't read. not listening to this again, i think. trumpet is fine tho

cave goons, get in here now:

https://sentientdivide.bandcamp.com/album/haunted-by-cruelty

these trumpet-metal records y'all mention ... are they jazzy? i'm jonesing for some slightly jazzy new metal

The Fluisteraars? Not especially, no.

This, on the other hand:

xp

the Azure Emote def has some jazz fusions leanings. i found the record a bit overblown, but ymmv
