It’s interesting to hear the city being straightforwardly (as in, no dystopian or technocratic concept) evoked in White Ward. Also, it’s nighttime! Really nice

on a related "night-cityscape metal" note I recommend Basalte's Vertige.

Lantlos - Neon is my favorite cityscape metal record still.

on a related "night-cityscape metal" note I recommend Basalte's Vertige.

Holy shit o. nate you were one of the Multishiva voters!

Yeah, pretty sure it was your post that introduced me to it. It was a late discovery for me, but I'm a sucker for swirling, noisy psych.

on a related "night-cityscape metal" note I recommend Basalte's Vertige.

I remember really liking this! I should return

Meanwhile, Cattle Decapitation is like mindblowingly brilliant!! They’ve been around for ages...how didn’t I know? This would have been in my top 5 for sure.

I can't find my ballot but I'm pretty sure it was these seven albums, unweighted:
Alcest - Spiritual Instinct
Lingua Ignota - Caligula
Jute Gyte – Birefringence
Glenn Branca - The Third Ascension
Botanist - Ecosystem
Witch Trail - The Sun Has Left the Hill
Kostnatění - Hrůza zvítězí

I'm slowly catching up with Liturgy, Sunn O))), Big Brave, Fly Pan Am, Ossuaire, all of which I liked.

Tomb Mold seems to have terrified the cat.

Your cat is such a pussy...cat

Some really appealing moments on the Blood Incantation, reminding me a bit of Obliveon and Voivod.

favorite discoveries ...
