Search: Metal that Sounds Like Glenn Branca

Love the last Aluk Todolo album. Will be bookmarking this thread.

sooth yr drone craving

^^^

wtf w/ this renfaire crackhouse prattle

anyway, here are a few more recommendations:

Azonic – Shore: http://youtu.be/wzuaHxi91C0
(a longer, slightly different version of Andy Hawkins’ River Blindness)
Azonic – Beyond the Pale: http://youtu.be/Wue_LUOjiPk
Oren Ambarchi – Raga Ooty (Slight Return): http://youtu.be/8Gi6btVnv1s

idk, in my house Branca p. much functions as corrosive Teutonic ruction that pours smoothly into Skullflower and F/i through cracking hot speakers, but I’m at peace w/ my disgusting savagery, and you may find yrself delighting in the more subtle aspects of the symphonies (in which case the Oren Ambarchi and Azonic may seem left-field, but w/e).

these next two tracks are even further afield, but the prehistoric lizard currently staffing the drone wing of my brain keeps returning to these metal-ish sheets o’ guitar crush, so:

Bowery Electric – Slow Thrills: http://youtu.be/X09G1bDRocs
Flying Saucer Attack – Standing Stone: http://youtu.be/WGfn6fBU-io

(I’m not gonna pretend they’re metal, but at wilting levels they wield a metallic scrape that you may dig.)

Bosse-de-Nage and Sannhet are kind of heady, dark and dissonant, albeit not as complex as DSO or Krallice.

Bosse-de-Nage - The Arborist
http://youtu.be/lxMryekibBA

Sannhet - Absecon Isle
http://youtu.be/Ds3og9jk0t8

That Bosse-de-Nage track isn't exactly what I was asking for but I really like it all the same! Good rocking feel. More stuff like that would be good too.

bosse-de-nage is more like hello late 90s post-hardcore

Antediluvian has a pretty good Portalesque thing going
http://youtu.be/z8XSESEcX1Q

Yeah, the Sannhet track has something of that vibe too (+ Sonic Youth/Live Skull) and I kind of love it. Will definitely look for more.

This Sannhet track actually is pretty much exactly what I was looking for: http://youtu.be/gsseHCsmg60

omg like 26 minutes in i think they switch from guitar to jet engine for a lil bit

then like billy corgan acoustic vibes on some pisces iscariot shit

Yeah, I thought of the Pumpkins too, as well as Mogwai. I'm still at 21:30 too.

The bit around 23:15 is pretty cool.

Wow, I see what you mean about the jet engine.

the new Deafheaven record would be a good bet IMO, and looking at the thread I see j. has already recommended it! Try also Cobalt.

^i really like this record. apparently i just love black metal that has majestic major key progressions.

Castevet is another band somewhat adjacent to Krallice. Mounds of Ash is a great album:

http://youtu.be/-50jZQYSOuM

i love the shit out of that castevet record but i think it's a bit over more to the post-hc side of things. maybe because the songs' structures are much more taut and articulated, much stronger drum role - no five-minute hazes of /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

Pulling out Deathspell Omega's Fas Ite... more over the last week, I'm reminded of why I haven't played it as much over the long term despite its initial impact. While I'm really into most of the individual sections of all the songs, I'm never really sold on how they are combined into compositions. It's hard for me to see a clear relationship between the whole and its parts most of the time, even when it comes to the proportions of the sections. It's the same thing that frustrates me with ELP and "Paranoid Android" and "Carry On Wayward Son". While I haven't really analysed the last Krallice album formally, everything seems to work as a whole more intuitively. Maybe I should think more about why that is some time.

Really love the Deafhaven album though. How are their older albums?

I gave one listen each to DSO's Paracletum and Drought; maybe those would stick better?

Blut Aus Nord never got mentioned in this thread. I didn't keep up with them after Mort but I just checked out 777: Cosmosophy a day or two ago. It's pretty great!

Huh, so Roads to Judah is even more what I was looking for than Sunbather is.

GAME OVER

http://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/album/discontinuities

^^^from this year; wins this thread absolutely and completely and I say that as someone who has heard a fair number of the bands mentioned. And I'm only on the first track!

Wow, that first track!

He's got some discography: http://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Jute_Gyte/

Wow, I think you may be right about that album.

i wish you would analyze that last krallice, i've played it loads but still don't have a super strong sense of any of the songs/songs' structures. i've even gotten into 'dimensional bleedthrough' since then, which used to sound to me pretty all-over-the-place when i was mostly only into 'diotima'.

Whoa - great find, imago!

Apparently, this guy designed his guitar by taking a regular Strat and building a new fretboard with 24 frets per octave.: http://metatonalmusic.com/Swordguitars/index.html

years past matter is definitely the most... amorphous, compositionally of the krallice albums. had a hard time with it at first but at some point it clicked (I think blasting it while speeding to denver airport trying to catch a flight was a turning point) and eventually became my favorite of last year.

think I'm gonna post Jute Gyte to the main metal thread - it's genuinely next-level shit, as they say

post game over bonus round:

For a while when I tried to remember what Roads to Judah sounded like, I would think of a Vattnet Viskar song by mistake. Silly error, as this album's great in its own right, but yeah somewhat similar vein.

http://vattnetviskar.bandcamp.com/album/vattnet-viskar

I bought the Jute Gyte album in ALAC format. It sounds gorgeous in lossless!

I think it's going to be an AOTY contender for me. (Metheny/Zorn and Stetson are the other strong candidates atm.)

It and Stetson pushing the top of mine too. Not heard Metheny/Zorn - my kinda thing?

I don't really know your tastes when it comes to this sort of thing but you can hear the first track here: http://www.mtvhive.com/2013/05/29/masada-metheny-zor/

(I was referring to "Mastema", the first Youtube there.)

That's very cool.

A couple of the tracks are smoother/mellower than that, which turns off some people, but I like that too. I think he's probably the best living non-classical guitarist.

yeah I definitely would prefer the crazier end of this particular spectrum, so long as it's well-composed &c

listened to it 2 or 3 times and it's something I'll pursue. zorn has too much music though

Imago, have you heard Nels Cline Singers' Initiate? It pretty much completely inhabits the crazier end of that spectrum, with none of the smooth/glossy elements that you get with Metheny.

Heard a couple of tracks. In fact preferred the Metheny thing, although Cline's stuff is obviously very pretty. Metheny thing was sonically more appealing.

Would the Haino/ORourke/Ambarchi album releases this year be included in this? I haven't heard it but liked Imikizushi and feel like that at least somewhat fit these parameters

*released

Will listen later when I'm at home. Meanwhile, you gotta hear Jute Gyte.

Would the Haino/ORourke/Ambarchi album releases this year be included in this?

Mmmmmaybe. Definitely good stuff and worth hearing, though. As is the Stephen O'Malley/Steve Noble duo album from a year or two back.

Yeah, we're on a tangent here (my fault). The Haino/O'Rourke/Ambarchi album is really awesome but isn't really Branca-metal imo.

Never heard of O'Malley/Noble!

Here's a review (not by me). It's on Bo'Weavil.

I just checked out 777: Cosmosophy a day or two ago. It's pretty great!

oh fuck yes this is wonderful

Caspar Brötzmann put out a new album this week with a group called NOHOME that includes bassist Marino Pliakas and drummer Michael Wertmüller, who are also the rhythm section from Peter Brötzmann's Full Blast group (and who are fucking amazing). The album also includes FM Einheit of Einstürzende Neubauten on two tracks, playing "steel." It was recorded at the group's second-ever concert, last August. Here's video of their first show, from last June:

New Jute Gyte album: https://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/album/helian

Omg he's practically been releasing an album a month. I blinked and missed it.

These are mostly rereleases, although that one^ has some self-remix work so I'll def check it out. His next album proper should be along at some point soon.

Meanwhile, this thread's queen to Kalmbach's king appears to be reaching...new heights

preorders are up for my upcoming microtonal metal album, Nowherer!! and here is a playthrough of a segment from the 21 minute closing track, Oscines!! pic.twitter.com/ht3CS1fMYW

Oh yeah, that's a good one.

rather than bumping the rolling metal to a resounding chorus of silence, let's use this thread for some real-deal shit

first of the day's efforts: KOSTNATENI has fucking DONE IT

https://kostnateni.bandcamp.com/album/pal

more to come, though...

yeah obv the new Victory Over The Sun too, not that ILM seems to care at more

My copy of that Kostnateni is supposed to get here later today, heard a lot of god things.

It seems increasingly hard to get the ilx metal crew excited about nearly anything black metal these days. Seems like the (understandable!) desire to avoid the Nazi sympathetic black metal musicians has led more than a few people around here to just swear the genre off completely.

Kostnateni and VOTS are explicitly and obviously decent people, clearly against any of that shit. Basic comprehension is usually enough to confirm when someone's fine. Throwing the baby out with the bathwater is unimaginably dumb

Jute Gyte devotes Bandcamp Friday proceeds to the National Abortion Fund. Ayloss aka Spectral Lore just did a record in support of Mediterranean refugees. Black metal that is explicitly For Good Causes is very easy to find

Even more morally ambiguous cases like Ruins Of Beverast are no more sus than the average metal musician I'd say

Oh absolutely, I know, I'm happy to throw money to folks like Jute Gyte and those fighting the good fight. I'm just saying, it seems like black metal is being given a wide berth around here and I know at least one sometimes ilxor has explicitly stated they've walked away from black metal.

Gotta mention these guys too

Ashenspire too. The list goes on

But as I say, I don't need my BM to be explicitly hard-leftist to enjoy it. It is possible to dig around about an artist if you're not sure, and it's usually pretty clear if they're Mean and Nasty. And then once you've done due diligence it's your decision whether to try to enjoy the music or not

ANYWAY. Thantifaxath tomorrow too, if you can believe :D

Yes! I’ve had it on preorder, and have been listening to the preview tracks. They’re incredible, especially ‘Mind of the Sun’. I can’t wait!
