Blind Guardian loves making songs for mediocre-looking RPG games. I never heard of it before, and this is the second time Blind Guardian has surprised me with a random song for a video game out of nowhere.

I've never heard of this "The Dwarves" book before, maybe it's more popular in Germany?

He talked about the Dwarves project as orchestral thing. http://www.metalblast.net/interviews/a-sacred-mind-an-interview-with-blind-guardians-hansi-kursch/

After a few weeks with hardwired the only stuff that I keep listening to is

Hardwired
Now that we're dead
Moth into flame
Dream no more (this is waning)

Spit out the bone

A concise single disc is better than a slow double disc.

Man-unkind is sorta cool for doing something different.

The biggest problem I have is Lars overuse of snare just fatiguing the poo poo out of the listening experience.

Man-Unkind gets points in my book due to its video where they're doing a gig dressed like a black metal band. There were so many TRVE KVLT morons pissed off at that it was hilarious. Doubly so because the director of it was also in Bathory at one point.

Even the best bands would get pretty tiring after that long, and it's not on that level imo. I think I would have liked it quite a bit more if it was like 40 minutes but as it is I got bored.

Understood. I disagree as I think they are easily one of the top five active black metal bands and are on that level. I've listened to the entire album over 10 times already and am not tired of it at all. Eh, different strokes.

Isn't it pretty harsh on Varg? That probably has something to do with it, dude is pretty polarizing. Black Metal fans who take the whole kvlt thing 100% seriously and also enjoy Varg probably don't appreciate that. I'm pretty contemptuous of Varg myself, but I could see why that'd bother a fan.

I also remember hearing it plays kind of fast and loose with the facts to further narrative, but that may just be bias in the other direction, for all I know.

it's just a lot of sensationalistic stuff and Michael Moynihan loves Varg's politics and wants to kiss him on the lips. The movie will be bad and anyone who knows anything about black metal has heard all about it already.

The new Kreator has me excited to hear more. I saw Obituary a few years back (2008?)when I did this logo for the band. Really cool guys and fun to hang with. drat, Frank Watkins was still alive and Ralph Santolla was playing with them. They played a ton of old stuff and most of the Cause of Death album. I'm an avid Midnight fan, but never actually had the opportunity to see them live. Horrendous is NOT to be missed. One of the best young death metal acts out there today. Seems like a pretty decent bill to me.

Speaking of unexpected AOTY material -Violet Cold Magic Night

I read this review last night for what is apparently a 1 man "experimental black metal" band from Azerbaijan:

http://www.angrymetalguy.com/violet-cold-magic-night-review/

Then listened to it and holy gently caress I am blown away, and there isn't even any vocals - you don't need them. I've never listened to anything "ambient" and actually been engaged - it always seemed like background music to me. When listening to this though I can't even tell there aren't or "should" be vocals. Yet the black metal parts when they arrive are most definitely black metal - I get that mostly just means tremolo picking but still, It's a weird experience for me, but a rewarding one.

I can't speak about the rest of this dudes discography but Magic Night is spectacular.

I'm really enjoying Animals As Leaders new album The Madness of Many. It's similar to the Joy of Motion but in a good way.

Listened to Atoma by DT and it was pretty good. Wish I could say the same for Battles from In Flames. It sounds like they're still doing the same poo poo they were doing 12 years ago.

Not sure if anyone is into post metal here but I just released an album called Temporal on Bandcamp: https://atomey.bandcamp.com/album/temporal

How can you listen to those albums and pluck "shock me" and "the price is wrong" out to nominate? Both albums have multiple better songs. Do they listen to.. never mind no they don't
