I'm listening to Lightning Bolt and not totally disliking it. Kinda skronky.

somehow the songs don't get buried by the most caffeinated drum performance in metal history, just a sword and sorcery epic in music form

As are the next one up..
there's a really good show at St Vitus on YT, but it's obv after they got a bass player to do most of the voxhttps://youtu.be/80izCsv-oPE
I liked it more when Proscriptor did the singing but I dunno how long a human could be expected to do that

A lot of my votes placed while I was asleep. Grandeur of Hair was my #2. Ship of Theseus my #4. Toxicity my #10. Also voted for Aluk Todolo, Goat, Subrosa. Much father down, but that doesn't matter because it's only like the bottom 5 albums on my ballot that I think are less than fantastic! Occult Rock was my #59, & World Music my #62, but that essentially translates into being my twelfth- and thirteenth-favorite albums from 2011...

I don't care for the Alcest's subsequent garbage but I still like this one, even if it's not as good as Le Secret. Not sure what makes it metal but nice fuzzed-out dreampop songs. xp

Also, they would be better if they reformed as a garage rock band called The Alcests.

John Haughm trademarked the band name without telling anyone else in the band.http://www.metalinjection.net/interviews/agalloch-is-the-closest-thing-i-have-to-religion-an-interview-with-don-anderson
― Devilock, Thursday, 15 September 2016 18:02 (seven years ago) link
It's rare that you get to spend an afternoon with one of your favorite musicians. Much less one who had such a foundational influence on how you view the world. Yet, that was exactly what I had the chance to do with the legendary Don Anderson of Agalloch, Sculptured, and now Khorada. Over the course of a five hour hangout, where we talked about everything from our favorite local beers to the European educational system I had a chance to see into what has always made this band such a vital part of the metal scene. Don Anderson is a metalheads intellectual, a young professor on his way to tenure who happens to tour the world between semesters. What more could you want?

This album (Agalloch) was decent enough iirc. Black Lake Nidstang has a nice electro breakdown. They're fundamentally a bit dull while being quite good. I'm at peace with them ruling the top 30 :P
― imago, Thursday, 15 September 2016 18:12 (seven years ago) link
Less at peace with this lot, ironically as they're so peaceful themselves!!!!

I meant Don Anderson himself btw
the Le Secret EP was full on black metal
