The people behind us are very, very short. With a heavy heart, we're staying put

how straight fire does a band have to be in order to justify your tinnitus?

Sean Daesh (nakhchivan), Friday, 30 October 2015 21:46 (eight years ago) link

Fairly. They have to have guitar canons.

twunty fifteen (imago), Friday, 30 October 2015 21:49 (eight years ago) link

erm I own both their first 2 albums and the 12" (and the manifesto) why say i only heard them on spotify?

http://noisey.vice.com/blog/why-are-black-metal-fans-such-elitist-assholes

Because band like Liturgy, Deafheaven and Myrkur are thrust into our faces and we're told if we don't like them it's based on some kind of horrible, prejudiced elitism and not knowledge of the form that dates back to, you know, before last year.

However, at some point you need to just accept that the thing that you love may get more popular or have elements of it co-opted by other genres—and if you take a step back, that's part of what makes music or any other art form valuable to the culture.

"The culture." Yessss. Black metal is, traditionally, very concerned about the culture and integrating itself into it. That's why the word "misanthropy" figured into half of the early album titles in the genre.

"I don't understand metal at all, let me tell you metal guys why you're jerks."

lol that article is such garbage. p lol that somebody'd bother to write it and then somebody'd read it and go "this is good, let's publish this"

tremendous crime wave and killing wave (Joan Crawford Loves Chachi), Saturday, 31 October 2015 04:13 (eight years ago) link

suspect it was more like "this is bad and will generate pageviews via its badness, let's publish this"

it is extraordinarily feeble though and I suspect the tone of wounded surprise to be disingenuous, which makes it worse

Mr. HHH, on the astronomically small chance that you read this, please understand that I genuinely love Liturgy, but goddamn it you make it so hard to defend you sometimes

i can't hate on music this weird tbf. it's definitely at risk of being shit but there's something compelling in there too

he's turned pretentiousness into a fine art!

He kind of reminds me of that Kula Shaker guy

he reminds me of an ilxor

Hah, I quite liked that. It's no Reign Array though.

Which other hipster metal threads can we bury Attila in?

imago, Saturday, 24 September 2016 18:43 (seven years ago) link

the ones you started?

Cosmic Slop, Sunday, 25 September 2016 00:37 (seven years ago) link

Aluk Todolo really need a thread of their own and Oranssi Pazuzu too but I think we missed the boat on that.

greg's solo album is...baffling MIDI wank?

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:30 (six years ago) link

always thought he was the straight role to hunter's freaked-out cyber-shaman thing but this is more unsuccessfully pretentious than anything hunter's released

imago, Friday, 8 September 2017 10:31 (six years ago) link

his 'Mitrial Transmission' album from a few years ago is a favourite of mine, hypnotic processed gamelan pieces. not heard the new stuff

thirst trap your hare (DJ Mencap), Friday, 8 September 2017 12:24 (six years ago) link

i haven't listened to the greg fox's solo album yet
it's not percussion?

weird woman in a bar (La Lechera), Friday, 8 September 2017 12:56 (six years ago) link

From the review I read it's apparently MIDI triggered by drums. This is on my to do list but not high priority...

ultros ultros-ghali, Friday, 8 September 2017 13:19 (six years ago) link

Mitrial Transmission is amazing.

change display name (Jordan), Friday, 8 September 2017 13:57 (six years ago) link

Huh on the track here it sounds like the kick drum is triggering the synth bass, which always reminds me of playing Roland V-Drums in a music store in the late '90s.

The Nepalese lady who cleans my room just came in and slowly backed out again. Fair response: this is fucking mental.

Wooaaaah. Hajj just turned into a metal version of a Star Wars planet theme, then a misdial, then a march. Lol.

Lol.

Looooooool

Frederik B, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:50 (four years ago) link

I mean this is going to encourage loads of impressionistic drivel but that first track is like listening to the original Star Trek theme while being entombed in an iron maiden full of icicles.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:54 (four years ago) link

The title-track is truly something, if you make it that far (which you should)

imago, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 17:57 (four years ago) link

The sound of this is so crazy, but makes so much sense. It feels weirdly streamlined, even though it's all over the place.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 19:32 (four years ago) link

I think back when we were talking White Ward someone was dissapointed that it didn't sound more like cosmic jazz / Ayler / Alice Coltrane, and I was like 'lol, that can't be done'. But here we kinda are? And it's amazing.

Frederik B, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 20:12 (four years ago) link

I guess I have no choice but to hear this now.
