AMG says:
Experimental rockers from Texas, influenced by wall-of-sound styles like drone, post-rock, and shoegaze.

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 13 January 2014 19:53 (ten years ago) link

Exhumed are the perfect example of the band I will happily see live any time, but will never pull out one of their albums at home.

J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 19:54 (ten years ago) link

Love Hey Colossus.English Flesh is an amazing track with a great video to boot

An embarrassing doorman and garbage man (dog latin), Monday, 13 January 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link

True Widow, on the other hand, are great on record but SUPER boring live (especially if they go on after midnight).

J3ff T., Monday, 13 January 2014 19:55 (ten years ago) link

J3ff on the money re: True Widow. Hate to knock my friends, but the live show is a snore at best.

Kim told me about it too but its not on spotify or anything. and I'm not buying grindcore 'blind' as its not exactly a genre I'm into but I'd like to check it out

Yes big thanks to Kim from me too, and I think it got an early mention on the rolling grind thread so thanks to that person too, Moksha came in really late and snuck really high up my list.

Also my contribution to the impromptu Cloud Rat awareness campaign, it was hard to find but the band themselves put the album up for free digital download via link on their site:

http://cloudrat.blogspot.com/p/discography-lyrics.html

scroll down to the Moksha section at the bottom and there's a mediafire link.

this is the second year in a row death metal has made a comeback on ilm. Influx of new American posters or a genuine rise in quality the past few years?

pfunkboy (Algerian Goalkeeper), Monday, 13 January 2014 20:53 (ten years ago) link

Yes.

^ now that's a fucking album cover

Didn't vote for much, but I did vote for Batillus (love the control and restraint in their aggression, kinda reminds me of the Swans) and Hey Colossus (some heavy Can vibes on that thing eh?). Have been a bit wary of that Raspberry Bulbs record cos just about everything else I've heard on Blackest Ever Black has been a no contest triumph of style over substance, but I guess this is my cue to give it a whizz.

I have a Raspberry Bulbs lp somewhere but not that one. It's good though.
