can we make this a rolling thread from 2020 onwards

with a more palatable title
rolling metal can be wall to wall genre exercises and brutal death and 'this could have come out in 1982!' and we can all be happy

Sure, why not? Although now you're tempting me to start a rolling thread per metal subgenre, that I may forever be exempt from -core-related hype.

you're probably underestimating how snooty I felt as I typed that

I've begun to think of the metal I like as soundscape metal. That thing where I mostly love how I get images in my mind of winds and demons and fjords. Lots and lots of beautiful icy fjords. My faves this year has been stuff like Inter Arma, Abyssal and Pissgrave.

i saw my friend's little brother's band the other night -- Apprentice Destroyer -- kinda kraut-y. Nice kids!

So I've just discovered Murmuüre :D
― imago, Wednesday, 13 November 2019 18:41 (four years ago) link
they probably didn't need FOUR guitarists to pull this sound off but it rules anyway!

Murmuüre were amazing. I have their CDr but missed out on the vinyl issue when it came out a few years later as it sold out instantly and has been selling on eBay/Discogs for silly money ever since

Even the CD is £85 on here https://www.discogs.com/sell/release/2500715?ev=rb

Not sure if they are arty enough for this thread, but the new White Ward is awesome lounge-jazz black metal. Also, if you want more cool arty metallic stuff their recommendations at the end of this interview are all very cool: https://kvlt.pl/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/Interview_with_WHITE_WARD_wwwKVLTpl.pdf

Shit, the last post before the revive was a plug for... White Ward. Now I feel dumb.
― o. nate, Thursday, 14 November 2019 03:20 (four years ago) link
Don't sleep on those recommendations though: Genghis Tron, Cult Leader, Valborg, Hybrid... so much goodness.
