I wish I had campaigned on a thread for the Beastmilk album cuz it would have got some ilxors into it who may have got it into the big poll. Made a thread on it - but votings closed hahaFor fans of post-punk or goth or that 80s thang.... Beastmilk - Climax

― J3ff T., Saturday, 18 January 2014 15:27 (ten years ago) link
I don't know if "mark e" will be checking into this thread again, but I meant to recommend, based on his interest in more occult rock types of metal, Zemial's Nykta. Lots of Mercyful Fate in its sound, and the vox sound more like Killing Joke than Cookie Monster. The spacey guitar parts are a nice bonus.http://hellsheadbangers.bandcamp.com/album/nykta
― Devilock, Saturday, 18 January 2014 15:33 (ten years ago) link
will definitely give that a listen ..ta for the pointer.
― mark e, Saturday, 18 January 2014 15:35 (ten years ago) link
think i've checked this out before following a nudge somewhere ..
not too bad, but dont think i could handle a whole album !!
― mark e, Saturday, 18 January 2014 15:40 (ten years ago) link
I probably should've mentioned the, uh, rather heavy Celtic Frost influence as well. Kind of a tense album.
― Devilock, Saturday, 18 January 2014 16:02 (ten years ago) link

― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Saturday, 18 January 2014 16:03 (ten years ago) link
ah, crud. I forgot to add that by zemial album to my list. there's a bit of absu in there too, which I dig. very enjoyable album.
forgot about deeds of flesh - portals to canaan as well, whoopso

second this, but with the caveat that i like hendrix's "bullshit" and think he says interesting stuff from a theory standpoint. also, the fact that he has this very wide eyed, affirmative attitude to the bleakest and grimmest of genres is if nothing else touching. deafheaven also rule. they are probably a more enjoyable listen than liturgy.

well, i dont mind his bullshit. I bought his manifesto after roxy recommended it. One day i might read it haha.
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Sunday, 19 January 2014 15:42 (ten years ago) link
sweet. i've read the manifesto but don't own it and it's sort of overwrought but interesting, especially (iirc) in its discussion of the ideological differences between the punk and metal traditions. liturgy's haters are for the most part repellant to me because they are coming from a place of small-mindedness and cultishness.

That's a surprising ranking for Altar of Plagues. I saw a bit of positive chatter about it but not a lot of adoration.

It won the Last Rites reader poll and was #7 for the writers top 25.

#7 PopMatters, #20 Stereogum, #11 Rock-A-Rolla, #7 MetalSucks, #17 MetalSucks musicians, #36 Pitchfork, #2 Terrorizer, #633 Pazz & Jop
I'd say that's a fair bit of adoration
― pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Tuesday, 21 January 2014 13:08 (ten years ago) link
just saw the metal poll results & wanted to ask what else you guys would recommend. i didn't have a chance to vote, but here's what i liked this year. Algerian Goalkeeper (or anyone else) if you can recommend 2013 metal albums in a similar vein, that'd be AWESOME. thanks!
CARCASS—love this album, i usually don't go for grindcore or death metal or thrashy stuff, but this is a great mix of all of the above, enough variety to keep things interesting, plus the bits of British sounding heavy metal & Maiden influence are great.
SUBROSA—fantastic doom album. love this band, same with their first album on Profound Lore. the female vox & cello, etc. do lots to set it apart from the usual doom pack. plus great songs.
UNCLE ACID—not as good as the first one, but it's very solid.
MELT-BANANA—better live than on record. that said, i've played this several times & liked it a good deal.
DEAFHEAVEN—more shoegaze than metal. still pretty good.
KYLESA—i played the shit out of Spiral Shadow and didn't get into this as much. but i like these guys. wish they'd go weirder & less alt rock.
NAILS—good album, i can see the appeal BUT it's really too extreme for me (sorry)
QOTSA—not even close to their best album. dig this band though & try to keep up with their stuff.
GHOST—love the first album. didn't get into this one but i haven't really played it more than... twice? dunno.
JESU—good album, hardly metal, not their best. love jesu to bits though.
SHINING—not as good as Blackjazz. still alright.
BARDO POND—fantastic album (made my overall top 10 for the year). not metal. fantastic psych rock.
THE BODY—haven't heard the new EP & album. it's on my short list to check out.
BLACK SABBATH—good album, a lot better than i'd expect for a Sabbath reunion at this stage in their career.
PORTAL—not my thing.
CATHEDRAL—awesome straight doom Cathedral record, i think it's one of their best.
KEN MODE—pretty good rock/metal.
RUSSIAN CIRCLES—i bought this but haven't played it yet.
ULVER—much more soundtrack-y than Shadows or Blood Inside... didn't really love it, but it's interesting.
ENSEMBLE PEARL—love love love. more of a drone record than metal to me. but it's awesome.
PELICAN—wasn't blown away (i never really have been with Pelican) but it's alright.
LOCRIAN—surprised this didn't place higher, i love it.
---
anyway... what else would you folks recommend based on the above?
― ilxor, Wednesday, 22 January 2014 17:43 (ten years ago) link
