Just discovered this fantastic hard-rock band Tanith. Russ Tippins of Satan is one of the leads. I hear a definite Satan similarity but also crossed with the smooth melodies of BOC or Heart.

Yeah, Tanith are great. They were a quartet on the first album (I wrote about it here) but are now a trio.

oooh I love this Tanith
they remind me of Ashbury a bit, but w/o the Southern rock element and more metal

Went to see Morbid Angel tonight.
It was ugly. Trey came out in stage and immediately was speaking unintelligibly, and said something like "if u don't like the show, fuck you!".
All tour there have been whispers that he's been intoxicated/high at most shows. I held out hope.
Three songs in, he disappeared and never returned. The show ended only five songs in. They said he hurt himself but many fans said they saw Trey high as fuck in the men's room minutes prior to show time AND all tour fans have whispered he's been high, drunk, and barely there. I knew going in this was a risk but Trey needs a lot of help and fast
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Saturday, 22 April 2023 02:43 (one year ago) link
A friend of mine said he hung out with them after the show last night and that it was indeed his back that seized up and that he was fine after.
I'm not entirely convinced that's all it was but it's not my place to speculate so I apologize for my previous post and will just say I hope he's ok.

new Tanith is indeed great, thought I keep finding myself singing "Idris Elba" along to "Adrasteia".
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 27 April 2023 19:17 (one year ago) link
I'm super enjoying the first album too. I think it's slightly better (i.e. proggier). My new favourite band.

Really excited about the whole new album by this Japanese gothic dream-metal band Isiliel: https://open.spotify.com/album/5626hEu75ZaGPcFUZIsDCS
Also, for actual extreme metal in the sense of being made in a war zone, the new Ignea record is a concept album about the Ukrainian documentary photographer Sofia Yablonska. https://open.spotify.com/album/6XWfpy136uE8zuWeTyyPwF

Holy fuck.
Incredible set.

Massacre were great too.
Between them, Morta Skuld and Druid Lord, what a nice of music

I really wanna hear that Austere now.

new Danava's real good if you like snaky 70s heavy prog into early 80s Maiden riffs
― made entirely of styrofoam (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Monday, 1 May 2023 10:46 (one year ago) link
ooh, good stuff
― jmm, Monday, 1 May 2023 12:18 (one year ago) link
Danava just showed up last night, haven't had a chance to spin it yet but I love those guys. Austere should be showing up today.
Glad to head Druid Lord is good live, was into their recent album.
― Maxmillion D. Boosted (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 1 May 2023 14:43 (one year ago) link
oh yeah they're always a blast. since they're from here, I think I see them more than any other band. glad to see them having more of a national presence over the last several years
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Monday, 1 May 2023 15:00 (one year ago) link
Danava sounds great gonna check that out
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Monday, 1 May 2023 15:01 (one year ago) link
Oh my God, the Austere.
Droning Moody af black metal, almost shoegazery to an extent. Like Alcest if they kept more of their old sound with the gaze
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Monday, 1 May 2023 16:44 (one year ago) link
The synthy title track on the Danava album is soooo cool
― jmm, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 14:06 (one year ago) link
just realizing I saw Danava live once, opening for Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats. knew they sounded familiar
― Cthulhu Diamond Phillips (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 14:09 (one year ago) link
xp oh wait, there are two sort-of title tracks - I meant "Nuthin But Nuthin" towards the end

I've been listening to the Swedish power metal band Air Raid a lot the last couple of weeks, so I wrote about them.
― but also fuck you (unperson), Wednesday, 3 May 2023 15:49 (one year ago) link
Nice, I really liked that Air Raid album
It might just be my mood lately but this feels like a very strong year for old-school heavy metal.
― jmm, Wednesday, 3 May 2023 18:30 (one year ago) link
That Austere bonus track is a Type O Negative cover btw (only found out because it's in the booklet)
― StanM, Friday, 5 May 2023 15:19 (one year ago) link
new surprise Krallice today. continuing down the synth-cum-guitar cosmic spacey path, which I can't complain about as I like it when they do that.

Austere is a very good comeback, nothing groundbreaking but I was a massive fan of their earlier albums so it's all good. Does exactly what I like in black metal, it's like a warm bath.
Speaking of warm baths, I didn't see any discussion when it came out in 2020 but check out Golden Ashes - In the Lugubrious Silence of Eternal Night, if you're intrigued by the idea of In The Nightside Eclipse dialed up to 12, there's your fix. Particularly track five From Grace Into Utter Ruin provides some major sensory overload. It's a Maurice De Jong/Gnaw Their Tongues side project.

I’ve got the new VoidCeremony on repeat. It’s so well recorded, too; there’s palpable space between the instruments which balances with the density of the hyper-technical riffing and rhythms. Love it.
― wronger than 100 geir posts (MacDara), Tuesday, 9 May 2023 18:31 (one year ago) link
hell yeah, perfectly stated. big fan of that one and the production and the way you’re describing it is a big part of why. it’s the first one of theirs that really hooked me but it is making me think i should go back again with the others.

also a good idea for the voidceremony fwiw, it just sounds so damn good
― (⊙_⊙?) (original bgm), Wednesday, 10 May 2023 16:37 (one year ago) link
thank you for hyping the VoidCeremony. I had their previous album but for some reason mistook them for a doom/death band (which I'm sick to death of atm) and not what they actually are.
this is hitting the spot right now, fuuuck yes.
― Qeq-hauau-ent-pehui (Neanderthal), Thursday, 11 May 2023 00:30 (one year ago) link
It’s so good! I never heard them before, but it whips ass.

why I'll be - so after getting into that new Austere album, I find out that they're playing at a festival near me in a couple of weeks. Unfortunately, the rest of the bands are all more standard black metal or completely unknown to me. I don't think I'll go to a whole festival for just one band.
And then I check out some more depressive black metal playlists and I come across Thy Light - who had a 2007 demo called suici.de.pression that's actually quite special. I'm an immediate fan. And THEN I find out they're also playing live! At the same festival as Austere! On the same day! AND they have a track with Tim Yatras (from Austere) on their 2013 album!
Now I have to go, don't I?
― StanM, Thursday, 11 May 2023 07:02 (one year ago) link
it does sound like the universe is trying to tell you something
― made entirely of styrofoam (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Thursday, 11 May 2023 09:20 (one year ago) link
Yeah the Thy Light album from ten years ago is excellent, had no idea they were still around.
― Siegbran, Thursday, 11 May 2023 13:26 (one year ago) link
enjoying the new Cattle Decapitation, though they've definitely settled into the sound from the last two albums. but it works, so....i'll vibe.
there's one song that's kinda djenty which annoyed me but it stops 30 seconds in.
― Qeq-hauau-ent-pehui (Neanderthal), Saturday, 13 May 2023 01:11 (one year ago) link
also glad to have the new Grave Desecrator out! though as of right now can apparently only be streamed on Youtube. I bought a physical copy on bandcamp which was supposed to come with a free digital copy, but only one song was posted on BC. when I emailed the label, he said something like he wasn't allowed to sell the album digitally and gave me a Youtube link.
err...ok. but it's solid as always. the vocals are intense and layered af, and kinda sound like they might summon Kandarian demons
― Qeq-hauau-ent-pehui (Neanderthal), Saturday, 13 May 2023 03:54 (one year ago) link
yay for new Impetuous Ritual. as noisy and chaotic as ever. still can't ever make out all that is happening because 'clarity' is never their M.O., and they never mind having several different ideas going at the same time, esp the solos.
but i always come back for more.

Was just looking at Phil Tougas of VoidCeremony's website, and apparently his dad and uncles had a heavy metal band in Quebec in the '80s called D.D.T. They're pretty cool!
