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

any cool melodic-but-not-power-metal stuff out there these days? (high spirits, spirit adrift etc etc)

RIYL immolation. their 2019 record was worthy stuff too, I'll have to spin it again now.

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.

I know nothing about Genghis Tron's previous albums but I greatly enjoyed their newfangled synth jams!

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.

Glad you enjoy the Herzel, jmm. Do give it a chance, ums.

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.

feel like it's a little too streamlined/smooth to be imagocore

ok this sounds good, there's nothing wrong with heavy metal that sounding like trans am wouldn't fix

I remember seeing Pole open for Trans Am on the Surrender to the Night tour...one of the loudest shows I've ever seen and just insane sternum-cracking bass

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.

So...have a question: why is Genghis Tron considered metal?
― Blues Guitar Solo Heatmap (Free Download) (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 1 April 2021 01:48 (three years ago) link
Because they once were a metal band:

Same. I listened to Red Line a lot in my late teens and Dream Weapon brings me back a bit.
