Search: Metal that Sounds Like Glenn Branca

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

^^^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:

^ relevant to my interests

Jute Gyte might have become the best rock band in the world last week:
http://jutegyte.bandcamp.com/album/vast-chains

Yeah just a cursory listen and: wow

So now I just added that NOHOME to my Amazon Wish List...

this jute gyte thing is working for me

does this marginalize traditional black metal?
if so, i'm digging it

i don't know what it does. it's arguably a good deal more hellish than that gorguts/ulcerate type stuff that so cruelly frosts my muffins, but i'm finding it p entertaining. sounds like a dying rust whale.

what's with the meninas

that caught my eye too, especially since his last album's cover also used an art history 101 staple.

both paintings have mirrors in the background and if you look at the pictures uploaded on bandcamp, the cover of the actual CD for each is a magnified detail of the reflected image

I think this fellow might be my favourite artist currently operating. Vast Chains is beyond Discontinuities - well beyond it in fact; crazier, darker, more intense - above all, sustained. I'm fairly obsessed with it right now.

does this marginalize traditional black metal?

this is really cool, but I don't think it marginalizes anything -- rather, it ties things together. In this case, micro-tonality (and also a similar idea as lamont young had on the Well-Tuned Piano) and black/death metal. I only have heard the previous album thanks to imago recommendation, but on the whole, it doesn't seem as "rocking" (?) as, say, an old-school Gorgoroth or Darkthrone record, but the compositions are totally different. I mean, it sounds "composed", as opposed to banged out and pummelled via lofi production and blastbeats. Seems like something to listen to, at least first, rather than fall into. But it does hit hard, and I respect it going for the jugular. Anyway, really interested thus far.

The way you guys are describing this music makes me want to listen to metal!

technically more Terry Riley but definitely hear some Branca in here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2EGKt8yONI
Orthrelm - OV

Yeah imago my impression is that Vast Chains is actually a step up too.

Note that in the liner notes it says it was made between 2011-12. I wonder if dude has two or three better albums in the can at this moment

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!
