At least Pillard got kicked out of Disma in 2019. Not that this excuses Profound Lore’s stubborn decision to stand by him over the years.

That's a good resource. I've actually spent money on some of the higher profile ones, some of which I've since learnt to steer clear from buying even if I do listen to one or two bands that they distribute. I did actually find out about volahn of the black twilight circle hanging out with nazis recently and that fucking sucked. I need to stop giving these people the benefit of the doubt.
profound lore being on there was a surprise to me given their roster. Fuck, even I, voidhanger has a band where one of the members plays in an openly fash band even though the label have more than one openly left-wing bands signed to them. This shit's so pervasive.

At least Pillard got kicked out of Disma in 2019.
According to Enc. Metallum he's back in on vocals and guitar as of 2020?
― Shaidar Logoff (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 25 March 2021 13:59 (three years ago) link
yeah, looks like when their drummer left in December 2020, their announcement of the new drummer came along with Pillard being quietly re-listed as singer on their website (which they failed to mention it at all in the new drummer announcement post, trying to be sneaky I guess). Now their being booked the next month in a Nazi metal fest (discussed upthread) makes a lot more sense.

Yep, that festival appearance suddenly makes a lot more sense, in a bad way. Awful.

So apparently Brouillard 5 isn't getting a physical release because it's not good enough, she's saying during this short anniversary video for her Transcendance label: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExoTV624DJc
― StanM, Thursday, 25 March 2021 17:43 (three years ago) link
That’s just wrong. I’ve been listening to the entirety of her discography over the past few weeks and I’m pretty sure Brouillard 5 is my favourite.
Also happy to see that on her label’s contact page, she straight-up says ‘if you are a nazi, get the fuck out’.

maybe cool that shawn eldridge steered clear of this disma reunion or whatever this mess is? his drumming is def one of the best parts of the formula there, funebrarum, etc. would be nice if he weren’t a maga chud or worse.

much more in line with perturbator, late NIN, etc than the last genghis tron album

On the melodic side, the new Evergrey album is excellent. They're always a really tasteful metal band.

Genghis Tron is hopefully showing up shortly, super anxious to hear that.

Yes, this Genghis Tron sounds sick.

I don't know their '00s stuff very well, but this feels more my thing. I'm happy for the absence of grindy parts.

Cool. I warmed up to A Tessitura of Transfiguration so I'll be sure to check it out.

In other HYPE news, a new Esoctrilihum is on the way. It's titled… Dy'th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath.

I’ve only heard a bit of the Genghis Tron; I wasn’t sure at first, but once I realised they sound like Trans Am now it sits better with me.
I have heard all of the new BIG|BRAVE out next month and it’s fantastic. Robin Wattie’s vocals are more foregrounded this time, without the gauze of effects, and all the stronger for it.

I am really loving the band Herzel which pom posted upthread. Great NWOBHM sound, great playing, and all sung in French.

Continuing with the straight up heavy metal recommendations, Possessed Steel, Megaton Sword, and Midnight Dice all had very good releases in this vein last year.

I've heard it and musically it's pretty good — it's a live performance, a single long track. I'd kind of like to have the DVD, but have no use for the LP, obviously.

There’s some live footage floating around on YT but not that particular performance, alas.
Also, they (well, two of them, at least) look exactly the part:

Yeah, this Genghis Tron is decidedly less "metal" than they've been previously, but once you can accept that, it's a terrific record. Love when "Ritual Circle" goes all krautrock in the back half.

Started to pre-order the new Gojira album, but their website charges $7.50 for postage on a single CD within the continental US. Fuuuuuck that. I'll buy it from a third party site that has it cheaper anyway.
