Rolling Metal 2019

ooooh

Next year's Decibel Metal & Beer Fest is a great lineup of classic bands paired with new bands that sound classic.
I hope to attend it again!

Would much rather see Napalm Death play an all Smear Campaign/Time Waits For No Slave/Utilitarian set, but that's probably just me.

Agree with unperson on the Napalm Death set, but that's a pretty killer lineup.

Even though it was ultimately disappointing Harmony Corruption was a big deal at the time (I think their first US release?) but I haven't even thought of Utopia Banished in thirty years.

I guess in a way maybe it's more interesting to play overlooked and nearly forgotten albums for this type of show instead of the tried and true.

Utopia Banished is their best album!

Looks like Pessimist is full MAGA.

Fuckers

My friend's fav band is ND and although he would probably prefer an album set like the one unperson suggested, he's positively ecstatic about this.

ND is though one of those bands that i prefer a traditional setlist from. But id still see this

Yeah I would see them play just about any of their albums.

The show I saw the week after Trump was elected was my fav. Great setlist, and Barney was angry about DJT, and when one pro-Trumper protested everybody told him to stfu

Lotsa From Enslavement that night.

Plus humorously, "Twist the Knife (Slowly)", the first song of theirs i heard thanks to the MK soundtrack

that full Xoth album is up on bandcamp now and it's completely sick

The Xoth record is pretty awesome - a nice upgrade on 'invasion of the tentacube'

Anyone hear the new Botanist? The album comes out on 10/25 but I never received a promo on it.

Turns out the abysmally named Fvneral Fvkk are excellent purveyors of doom.

The new Teitanblood is fantastic. I feel like I just got hit by a truck, in the best way. https://teitanblood.bandcamp.com/album/the-baneful-choir

Also, great week for avant-garde metal, new Sunn new Botanist.

Mayhem's latest album, Daemon, is out today, and it's fairly solid, more so than most of their post-De mysteriis dom Sathanas output, perhaps because parts of it consciously seek to approximate the debut's sound.

The real story, though, is Unaussprechlichen Kulten's Teufelbücher, which fucking decimates:

As a side note, these guys are from Chile. I think it's my first time hearing metal from that part of the continent.

*Teufelsbücher

really? there was a cracking Chilean doom band a few years back that made the metal poll

Yeah there's TONS of great Chilean rick

rick astley is Chilean?

I'll look into it.

Oh yeah, and the new Alcest, Spiritual Instinct, is out today too. Reviews appear to be quite positive overall.

not metal exactly, but Föllakzoid make nice Chilean space rock

They're a great band... in a Neu!/Hawkwind hybrid zone

There was a Pentagram from Chile and their demos are worth seeking out if you dig the death/thrash sound. Death Yell (lol) were another solid old school Chilean band.

Nar Mattaru, Slaughtbbath, Uttertomb, Invincible Force and Atomic Aggressor are all good to great modern metal bands from Chile.

oh and Ripper! One of the few modern thrash bands I rate.

Thanks, all. I'll check them out.

For now, Unaussprechlichen Kulten (unspeakable cults?) is really hitting the spot.

Condenados were great. (the band I was talking about above)

I do enjoy the new Mayhem. It's pretty aggressive without purely just being a back to roots thing, still plenty of angular moments.

One of the riffs sounds like the Inspector Gadget.

Cautiously optimistic about the new Mayhem, I was surprised to read the glowing and practically fawning 4.5 review at Angry Metal Guy, since they typically don't really love anything over there.

Oh they love all kinds of stuff, like melo power prog and proggy power melo, preferably from the US.

Ha, yeah, I just meant more the final score. I can't tell you how many glowing reviews turn into a 3.0 rating, usually along with a complaint about DR scores.

Mayhem’s post-De Mysteriis discography is really strong and varied, only Chimaera was a bit redundant. Quite looking forward to hearing the new one. Timely since I finally saw Lords Of Chaos which is much better that I feared but still feels like it was designed by committee.

Cool, I had completely missed that!

well you have 2 weeks to nominate still but you want to add to the Spotify playlist early so that people will hear it

I'm an idiot; a bunch of those TONS of great Chilean bands I referred to are actually from Peru :(

I know Holydrug Couple are from Chile; they get lumped in w Follakzoid a lot. And this was one of my favorite albums from last year, as almost like a South American Daydream Nation

New Sunn 0))) , Desert Sessions in the mail. Alcest didn't arrive. Now I find out the new Botanist came out today.

Am at the Oranssi Pazuzu show right now. They’re about to start. Ails blew me away.

goddamn OP and Ails?! lucky

New Vastum (Leila Abdul-Rauf's band) is very good, if you're into atmospherically-inclined death-doom.

Pyroclasts is kind of boring compared to Life Metal, partly because Hildur Guðnadóttir's input is less audible.

Both Pyroclasts and Ecosystem have lived up to the hype for me. Been a good week for metal.

On follow up listens this is my fav Mayhem since Wolf Lair.

I doubt many Ordo fans will agree but it's just me

the new Alcest is superb. Best thing he's done in a decade

Booked a room on the 70000 tons of metal cruise today.

Emperor and Candlemass already confirmed
