going by some youtube comments, apparently fenriz namedropped a couple of these at some point. that fucker is everywhere

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpj_CDU0GjM (this one is 100% a straight up banger, even ignoring the historical value)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44INdMp-JO4 (also went by Headless for a couple of years)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUZgsNQDVH4 (censors stopped giving a poo poo about songs having to be in German towards the end)

Annnd that should be a fairly complete list of metal bands from the GDR that managed to release something before 1990. More than I expected to be honest. I'm especially surprised by the two TV appearances.

Sargeist rule but they have a totally different vibe to UADA, who also rule. Here's something sort of halfway between the two

I'm on my like 10th spin of the new Necros Christos and it's definitely one of my favorite releases of the year.

Too bad they're hanging it up, but I guess it's better to go out with a bang instead of overstaying their welcome.

Aeviterne released their first ep this month and it is very good death metal. They have a member of Artificial Brain and will be touring with them and Pyrrhon shortly.

So, uh, some dude had a coronary in the pit at the Milwaukee Ghost show tonight and died. We all got to watch EMTs try to revive the guy for 45 minutes before they called it and cancelled the rest of the show.

He literally dropped right after Pro Memoria. Our cynical brains were like, is this a stunt? The timing is just too improbable! It wasn't. Not a great night.

Yeah, we just hope he was having a good time and that he went painlessly and never saw it coming. It was pretty hosed. Bunch of dumb shits booing for refunds when they ended the show. People are terrible. Many toasts to that guy after the show. RIP buddy. loving hell.

Demon Of The Fall posted:

I hate coming in here and making GBS threads on things, but yeah. I was expecting some cool riffs but there were basically none I can remember. I caught myself headbanging once I think. I spent more time snickering at the guy singing.

I mean, I guess it's entirely "newsflash: not everyone likes everything everyone else does", but all I can think when I read this post is how incredibly wrong it is. The riffs are insane, and so varied even within a single song. I don't know how you couldn't headbang to As Decreed by Laws Unwritten or the chorus of Azagthoth, but those are also the only 2 mostly-purely death metal songs. If you came into the album expecting grind or pure death ( either in individual songs or the entire album ) then sure you'll be disappointed. The variation in tempo and styles within songs and between songs serves a singular purpose - to tell a story, to evoke a specific feeling, it is VERY prog in that aspect, and if you aren't down with that then I could definitely see you getting bored quickly. It's not purely death, it's not pure tech death, it's not pure prog, it's a bastard chimera that manages to make it all merge flawlessly.

This album bit me so hard, I literally listen to it 2 or 3 times a day and it still hasn't gotten old, I still keep discovering these amazing little moments and favourite parts. I really "get" what they've done here, I can feel the empty vastness of space, I can imagine the world they are depicting with my eyes closed.

I can see the vocals being a love or hate for sure, but somehow for me it just works for the songs, it's like they wrote the songs with how his vocals sound in mind rather than trying to shoehorn them on top. That kind of attention to detail permeates the entire album, they know this guy sounds like a bastard Geddy Lee ( or maybe he does it intentionally, I don't know ), it is very calculated and precise how fluid they have made every aspect.

I love the lyrics too, the more situations I listen to this album in the more the story starts to sink in and I think it's really cool.

I love Alkaloid :frogsiren:

Conversely, I find the new UADA boring as gently caress, it got a lot of hype and when I listen to it, nothing grabs me. No riffs stand out, it's not objectively BAD but it is subjectively boring.

Edit: In terms of prog-death, I also don't like NeO either, I find them very pretentious both in their music and presentation and very boring. So probably just have terrible taste in music. :unsmith:

I also don't like most tech-death, I may like a singular song or 2 but an entire album always bores me. I guess I crave variety.
