Burn My Eyes is a fantastic record, the drop after that was huge unfortunately.

The new Thou album is absolutely terrifying.

New Ragana/Thou split is great too, though I think the Ragana side is the better of the two

Anyone heard Argonavis's Passing the Igneous Maw (awesome title btw)? Murky, blackened death/doom with the occasional horn chorale. Opens with an almost subliminal a capella piece, closes with straight-up chamber music. Really good shit:

The new High On Fire (out tomorrow) has a nine-minute song and a ten-minute song. I am enraptured.

I like the HoF more than I liked the previous two albums. it's mega. also speedier, like their older material
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 6 October 2018 14:47 (five years ago) link
new Behemoth feels like the album prior to a major pivot. small things, like clean vocals, less extreme moments, more choral moments, ambient passages.
I think I like it tho!
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Saturday, 6 October 2018 14:54 (five years ago) link
First listen and I agree the new HoF sounds more like old HoF which isn't a bad thing at all. It's got more weight to it and I think "man that's almost a Slayer riff" less often.

kinda think its transitional quality is part of why it's so good, songs at times feel an instant away from shapeshifting into something different, and you can feel them really going for it

I've been listening to Sárr's Ávitun a lot this week. A solo EP by Þórir from Nyss that came out in April.

Would you kind dudes help a confused old man out? Is your man Nergal from Behemoth a racist? (I've seen a photo of him dressed as an SS officer and I know his name used to be Holocausto and obviously neither is a good look but is there some kind of screed where he nails his colours to the mast - some damning thing he's said that I'm not aware of? I mean, is he actually a card carrying racist or just a bit of spanner with poor judgement?) I've googled it and the first thing that comes up says he is because literally all black metal is racist, so that's not much help. I can't keep up with it all, tbh.

Apols about the Nazi costume thing... I was just googling around trying to find out what the score was. Fair play on that score, didn't know he'd been acting.
The football thing... it's pretty ambiguous. Feels a bit dog-whistle-y maybe? Definitely a dickish thing to post. Not really the smoking gun I thought I was going to find either - or is there more text?
Anyway, thanks.

I auditioned the last track and it had a really weird psychoacoustic effect on me, and wondering if anyone else had the same reaction to this (or any other particular) piece of music?
I have some tinnitus, not terrible, but basically I carry my own noise floor wherever I go. Playing the song was like having my noise floor raised significantly - like someone had identified key frequencies that ring in my ear, and boosted them (and only them) a lot. Really viscerally unpleasant.
I listen to TONS of extremely noisy shit and never had this experience before.
(Stephin Merritt has suggested strongly that the Magnetic Fields album "Distortion" was mixed to tigger his hyperacusis, but not sure that's the same)
― summervillain, Wednesday, 10 October 2018 14:30 (five years ago) link
Wow, that is weird. Do you have the same effect with the other two tracks? I don't hear a lot of difference in the way they're mixed.
― ArchCarrier, Thursday, 11 October 2018 09:26 (five years ago) link
Meant to post this earlier - but Satan were pretty damn good in Chicago this past week. Doomsday Clock/Twenty Twenty Five one-two punch was sweet. I took a buddy who had never heard 'em before, who's not much of a metalhead, but is a huge Iron Maiden fan, and he loved 'em and bought Cruel Magic at the merch table. Was happy to bring them a new fan. Brian Ross was good fun, and his banter was often hilarious!

New Terrorizer is interesting.
It's basically a Sandoval blastbeat showcase like World Downfall but the music isn't that style, it's grind but not the punky kind.
Not sure how I feel yet but the Monstrosity boys do a good job. It's not like the 2nd or 3rd Terrorizer albs either
― fuck the NRA (Neanderthal), Sunday, 14 October 2018 17:41 (five years ago) link
I liked those two Terrorizer albums that were basically Resistant Culture albums with Sandoval on drums. Checking out the new one now.

I absolutely loves their super-heavy psychedelic halucinations of what black metal could be on Ufonaut which came out in 2016 and am looking forward to exploring this one. First two songs do nothing to dissuade me from endorsing the new one!

Stumbled across this video of Gojira performing "Global Warming" (a song they never play live) in the studio; it's pretty great, and reminds me I haven't listened to them in a while.
