new Hellripper is fantastic. not that I don't love a lot of it, but blackened speed metal is one of those subgenres that's so full of boring clones. I like that they manage to be inspired in their writing.

plus were part of an anti-Nazi comp in 2018
there's a ton of trad fist pumpy heavy metal in there as well without overwhelming the black heart of the sound and that's my language.

Waiting til my copy shows up later this week, good to read your raves though.
Listened to the more traditional of the two Ulthar albums this weekend, really damn good. Going to tackle the other one soon.

I enjoyed both Ulthar. the two song one has a cool synth sequence on one of the songs

Gene Hoglan on Chuck Schuldiner, also (since I hadn't kept up with posthumous Death) mostly news to me:
Hoglan joined DEATH in 1993. He replaced Sean Reinert, who — along with guitarist Paul Masvidal — quit the band to focus on CYNIC. He appears on the group's albums "Individual Thought Patterns" and "Symbolic".The current lineup of DEATH TO ALL includes Hoglan, DiGiorgio on bass and Koelble on guitar. Max Phelps (CYNIC),who has been touring with DEATH TO ALL, is once again handling the vocal and second-guitar duties.Schuldiner died on December 13, 2001 after a battle with pontine glioma, a rare type of brain tumor.In recent years, DEATH's storied catalog has undergone a meticulous reissue campaign via Relapse Records.Relapse released the first-ever fully authorized DEATH tab book, featuring 21 classic songs tabbed out for guitar from the band's entire discography. The book, which includes traditional notation as well as tablature, also comes with a digital download of all tracks

Aside from "Pestilength" being a pretty funny band name, this Basque DM band has a nice generally mid- to down-tempo death/doom feel that's pretty darn good. Some Incantation similarities but there are some original rhythmic and riff ideas going on.

I think I prefer the 2 track Ulthar the most because it breathes and lets them really let loose but yeah both albums really hit the spot. Thank you for sharing that bandcamp article. I hope he recovers. Peacock is also a good vocalist. I dig Mastery and Spirit Possession as much as I do Ulthar.
― gman59, Thursday, 23 February 2023 22:28 (one year ago) link
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Helionomicon is definitely the better of the two, for exactly the reason you state, but I spun Anthronomicon again today and it holds up pretty damn well too. A huge leap forward for a band that I already liked well enough.
Looking forward to the new Spirit Possession.

zero production value black metal from Italy, concept album about "the 16th century coastal towers of Further Abruzzo, which were built near river outlets by the Kingdom of Naples and used as guard posts to spot and signal the presence of incoming privateer ships." as themes for an album go, I'm hard pressed to think of a better one. RIYL the sound of tapes that were stored in a moldy cardboard box for three years before being pressed up into a limited hand-numbered edition of 25.

Havok are Trumpers?
they released the song "Hang 'Em High" on inauguration day, and I can't really find much in Google for them and Trump other than this quote:
But if there is one good thing about Trump it’s that I have never seen a president get hated so much so maybe people are at least waking up to the political system; you know it’s bullshit, it’s a nonsense and we shouldn’t subscribe to this. What’s so fascinating is that people will then still say you have to go out and vote for one of the same two parties that have been in power for a hundred years; the two party system is just two heads of the same snake. Both are about big business, neither give a fuck about the American people. It’s mind numbing.
which came across as more libertarian-y.
just curious - I know some of this stuff is more on the d/l in metal.

This is what tipped me off - the first song off Conformicide:
"F.P.C."
They want to shut you upAnd put your mind in a cageDictate the words that you can useFreedom of speech goes up in flames
When the censorship beginsThey will come for youSpeaking your mind becomes a sinPolitical correctness breaking through
With the suppression of ideasEveryone pays the priceBeware of this becausePolitical correctness ends your rights
P.C. warriors want to force you to speak their wayP.C. warriors want to prohibit what you can say todayThat's right
Political correctness: free speech is seizedPolitical correctness is a social diseasePolitical correctness: free speech is seizedPolitical correctness is a social diseaseFuck it
Political correctness: free speech is seizedPolitical correctness is a social diseasePolitical correctness: free speech is seizedPolitical correctness is a social disease
Fuck P.C.
