BurningBeard posted:Sup metal goons? This year sucks. Everything is terrible and my motivation is through the floor. I’ve not even been listening to music because of it. I’m trying to come out of the fog. So I know it’s premature, but what have y’all liked best this year? I just want some cool new poo poo to listen to with a minimum of energy expended. Hoping hearing something awesome reignites my interest in tunes. You got a lot of answers but i didn't notice anyone mention Old Man Gloom - Seminars 8 and 9 Pyrrhon - Abcess Time Behold...The Arctopus - Hapleptic Overtrove Calligram - The Eye is the First Circle Sightless Pit - Grave of a Dog CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:i never realized there was secrecy around deathspell omega's line-up. do they acknowledge the rest of the band members? no. they don't credit anyone, but i think it's also pretty widely known that carpenter brut produces them

They're lovely folks and i'm in there almost every day. and yes the playlist is just death/black/grind mostly. occasionally some stoner stuff

I’ll have to check some out now, yeah same, i know i've heard a song or two but that's it. iirc you're older though and i had a teenage uncle who raised me on florida death bands and carcass and bolt thrower and poo poo so i didn't really have a transition to extreme stage as a teenager. my bony fealty posted:we got a place here called Heartwork that is infact named after the album and they display the LP prominently and also have good coffee i googled it and it appears to be in san diego? if so black forge is going to be doing a traveling pop up thing there on the 16th as part of the oddities and curiosities expo. they rigged up a van and are going around with the save our stages tour and o&c all year.

Kvlt! posted:Sanguisugabogg's whole shtick is really lame imo "Wow we're so crazy we recorded this album ON ACID" is lame, like cool ig so has every other band since Hofmann rode his bike Lmfao sticklefifer posted:The new Genghis Tron just came out today. I like it a lot, but I wouldn't call it metal. They definitely switched up their style enough that other than the crazy drumming and occasional guitar work, it's mostly synth-based now. You get hints of their old style in a few tracks (mostly the title track), but it seems like they included that as a segue to tell you they've moved on from the screamy cybergrind stuff. I feel like the Metalsucks review was pretty spot-on when they said it sounds like it would be a natural evolution from Board Up the House if there were a few albums in between that we never got to hear during their 13 year hiatus. It's good though; Nick Yacyshyn's drumming is fantastic. That’s a shockingly cogent comment for metalsucks lol. I wonder if they were producing music of any kind, privately, in the meantime.

Nazzadan posted:My favorite thing about Mike is not that he's a professor, it's that he's apparently a professor that all his students hate. Don't be fooled by the overall average, reading through the reviews is a great time. tbf almost all the negative reviews are complaints that the class isn't structured with redundant readings and lectures, so you can choose to skip it/not do the readings, or just that you aren't guaranteed an A for trying.

Henchman of Santa posted:Sometimes it sounds really cool and other times it sounds like Imagine Dragons. It's also never quite as hybridized as I would like it to be. Reminds me of how Panopticon get sold as "bluegrass meets black metal" but those two sides are almost entirely separate. I like Panopticon a lot, but he doesn’t even really do bluegrass anymore. The dark folk stuff is good too but yeah it’s too musically distant from the metal to really be a hybrid, it’s just a band that does both. The connection between that kind of black metal and folk is purely atmospheric. Ironically the way bluegrass is played and structured could work very well with death metal in the same way jazz does but I don’t know that anyone has ever tried it.

Kvlt! posted:It does suck for sure but black metal is the only subgenre I actively check. Other metal genres are innocent until proven guilty, black metals the other way lol It’s the only way. Really just euro black metal though. Are there any really prominent current American nsbm bands? All the American black metal bands I’m familiar with are either weird forest people or brooklynite nerds and poo poo. Obviously early in there was like grand belial’s key and those losers but I don’t see it much now. Maybe I’m out of touch

I feel like the crowd's gonna be half metalheads who think AA are lame radio melodeath and half AA fans who think Obituary are boring OSDM. the absolute funniest thing about AA is that if you listen to the first dethklok record and then twilight of the thunder god, you would think dethklok was a direct parody of it. like varyags of miklagaard and the lost vikings sound eerily similar. but dethklok came out first

I absolutely thought Cave In was done after final transmission, which was understandably pretty half baked and just figured they’d move on to projects like mutoid man and wear your wounds. Instead they release a record that some days of the week I’d say is their best ever

Kvlt! posted:That's the point. I don't think they were saying the Confederate flag wasn't racist, they were saying that (the majority) of people didn't perceive it as a racist thing back then. I never met the man, but I highly doubt Dimebag was a racist. The majority of people absolutely knew what it was. When I say there was a time when you didn’t get it, that’s because you (where you is any given person in this conversation) were a naive kid. The notion that people were less racist 30 years ago is absurd Henchman of Santa posted:Most racism is carried out unconsciously. In Texas I'm sure the confederate flag is a great source of pride and your average dumbass thinks it's a stand-in for "rebellion" or whatever without critical thought. Rebelling against what though (the government telling you what to I.e. don’t say the gamer word or refuse to hire black people) It’s not that grown adults didn’t know what the confederacy was, it’s that it was socially acceptable to think the wrong side won
