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

Which other hipster metal threads can we bury Attila in?

the ones you started?

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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This is amazing.
the climactic build of the title-track is like staring into a new form of art, or something
― imago, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 21:51 (four years ago) link
One would almost say, a micro genre :D
Head's spinning in the best way possible. Played it twice now and it somehow seems to be over in 20 minutes idk. What a glorious catharsis.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 21:54 (four years ago) link
Finding it literally unlistenable rn, but my ears are kinda fried already and I have a headache, so I'll try another time. So far the glitchy Pro Tools edits are not appealing, that's an ugly & dated effect imo.
― change display name (Jordan), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 21:58 (four years ago) link
Jesus Jordan I so completely feel the opposite. Ew, but, my ears want to have sex with this record. The piano of Exaco I sounds crisp and so sincere to me. The glitchy stuff fits well in a prog-like, 'fooled you we're taking this song into an entirely different direction' kind of way. This is the opposite of ugly and dated for me personally. Crazy as it is it all fits together and paints a masterpiece imo.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:01 (four years ago) link
i cannot wait to hear it but i'm also at a loss to describe what i even want from this band after the ark work
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:24 (four years ago) link
my answer to that admittedly pertinent question is simply 'more'
― imago, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:38 (four years ago) link
The glitches are at once awful and so so perfect. They felt a bit gimmicky on Ark Work, and now they feel like an essential part of the style.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:43 (four years ago) link
lmao from the first track i love it
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 22:55 (four years ago) link
This one also benefits tremendously from being the correct length for a Liturgy album
― Simon H., Tuesday, 12 November 2019 23:19 (four years ago) link
as with the ark work i'm kinda loling through every song in a good way

wonder if this album syncs up with end of evangelion
― american bradass (BradNelson), Tuesday, 12 November 2019 23:37 (four years ago) link
So glad they are still making music. Always seemed like the rest of the band was annoyed with Hunter in interviews and such but they always get back together and make these crazy great albums. id be fine if I never heard the term transcendental black metal ever again but I do love this. Also, Greg is a really good dude who just loves making music and art. New album rules. The first track and the title track are beyond excellent.
Brad otm, this feels equally of that show as The Inalienable Dreamless.
