I apologetically love like, all of Sorry for Party Rocking. And Ossuarium is really good! One of the first things released this last year that really wow'd me and I snap bought it from 20BS on wax.

Man, I'm trying to buy some stuff from Unholy Patches, and Paypal keeps flagging the transaction for review, and then canceling it because of a "risk". Probably some stupid overly paranoid word filter catching his name Hussein, and a bunch of stuff with "death" and "unholy" and so on, because they're metal patches, dammit. gently caress paypal.

First Friday of the new decade, here's some 2020 stuff I've checked out and dug: Sofiya, atmoblack with lots of post-metal and some dungeon synth thrown in Vintlechkeit, atmoblack. These guys release an EP or an album every month it feels like, they usually lean towards "really loving good" but this new demo is merely decent. Mordenheim, death doom. A really loving chaotic and strange listen, at points I can't even call this death doom and it turns into blackened death with some noise thrown in. Moongates Guardian, symphonic atmoblack about LotR. Windhelm, bm Nazzadan fucked around with this message at 17:20 on Jan 3, 2020 |

It's a fantastic album and because bm fans are dumb as hell it's my most valuable record so it's got that going for it too edit: Another new release. Oath, trad. At first I thought that it's got catchy as gently caress NWOBM riffs that sound like they should accompany a cheesy battle sequence in a mecha or space battle anime, then the vocals kicked in and I thought it sucked something massive. Now a couple tracks in the vox are growing on me and it's back to being the soundtrack to me imagining red lines lacing across giant green penis ships.

Okay gently caress it I’m throwing this on in a few. Album art and song titles are great. I really like the old school weird logo and font used. Makes me think of some strange 90s metal I would blind buy from the record store.

I didn’t expect some faaaat synth intro action right out of the gate. tbh just give me synths and sword noises and riffs, that’s all i ask for This is great so far but I really wish the instrumentation wasn’t so sloppy at times  Raw bm with fun keyboards tho

More new poo poo, I don't know when this became available since the Bandcamp release date says the 5th and RYM says the 10th but the new Haunt album is up in full early. I checked Facebook on a whim to see if any good shows are coming up and apparently I already hit interested on the record release party for it tonight, so I'll go see them for like the third time in a year and buy them drinks

Well, it's 2020 now and I'm still letting Dead To a Dying World punch my face in more than any other band in my library. The pitch for the Elegy album was probably "GY!BE, but BRÜTAL". This is music to watch WW3 to.

here's a fun thing I found. Not so much because it is totally awesome or anything but it is a band that isn't on metal-archives and its literal children making sort of blackened thrash metal. The fact they're kids also explains why they chose the name Diabology because it is a kinda dumb name. But look at them!  https://diabology.bandcamp.com/album/nobody-believes-me In a completely different ballpark, we have DAŽD which is "primordial ritualistic punk metal yielded from the blood-soaked soil of Serbia insane." and "promethean crust for eternal warriors" and for "adherents of AMEBIX, KILLING JOKE, CURRENT 93, PENTAGRAM, ISENGARD, MAYHEM" which is quite a varied bunch. https://fuckyogarecords.bandcamp.com/album/krv-i-seme It sort of sounds like they recorded it inside a shipping container or something at times. But I like it.

That description definitely got my interest and the music sounds pretty cool so far. Am I alone in finding the Bandcamp search really bad? I had to google gently caress Yoga records to get to their Bandcamp page, I couldn’t find it at all through the app. But anyway through them I came across a project by the label head called Transhunter, a name that’s pretty  but the music sounds weird and promising. “A valorous automatic bridging of distant inhuman conditions and forging them in an alchemic weapon of salvation, for some.

Thinking about making it a thing to avoid rym/etc discog ratings sites completely this year. I have a habit of checking out band pages there to figure out what albums I should check out and such. I find that it colors my feelings and expectations too much though which is why I already don’t care for reading music reviews. I’m sure by it leading me towards to the “best” path through a bands discography that I end up missing or underappreciating ignored albums that I would actually enjoy a lot. I don’t know really. I’m slowly shifting towards ignoring everything that isn’t the music itself and casual discussion/recommendation lists. I like it.

The key to using RYM as a tool for music discovery is that you have to get a grasp on what the community’s taste is and how it functions, then correct for it. Especially for new albums where it often starts out with shockingly high ratings and then gets downvoted to hell by people who don’t like the genre/people who base their entire listening habits on Fantano reviews.

That's why forums are great for recommendations. Knowing what the person doing the recommendation likes gives you insight if you should pay attention to them. Two different posters in this very thread can describe two different bands with the exact same description and I bet I would go "that sounds good" and check it out to one, but know the other one is probably bad because I know what they like vs what I like.

I think I just miss having genuinely no clue what’s good or bad. I’ll hear a song or hear about a band and go straight to google. I don’t want to know that soon though! I want to be my 17 y/o self strolling into the record shop to dig and find the dumbest spookiest album covers. I want to hear a riff that fucks me up so hard I spend hours just going through a back catalogue because I need mooooore. I remember doing that with Blind Guardian back whenever. I became obsessed with them randomly and had my dad take me to use all my cash for like 90% of their cds in one go. I also have a memory of century media (lol) having this huge 6/6/06 sale. I bought like 20 albums, most of which I didn’t have a clue about. That’s how I found Slough Feg and a few others I still really enjoy. Not trying to ok boomer myself as I love streaming for how easy it is to find stuff, but I think that ease of access can enable bad habits like listening to 50 bands a day and not having any of it hit on a deeper level while at the same time knowing it’s “quality” somehow. anyway holy gently caress do I ramble, can’t wait to smash 1000+ links itt over the new year hail satan

the ease of access (creation and consumption) is 100% awesome and every year gets better for music if only because of that. id rather have too many options and am kind of glad its not like it was when i was a kid and you had to basically gamble all of your money away on music you may end up not liking at all.

There is definitely a loss of "special," like when I grabbed a Hammerfall disc in early HS cause it looked awesome, and discovered power metal for the first time. Snow is falling down on this Glorious land... But you just gotta find new things that are special. Bands can make/release music like never before, and that's worth it, imo.

When I was in high school, me and my buddy picked up Cannibal Corpse's "Bloodthirst" at the music store because the cover art blew our minds. We listened to it at his house cause my parents were strictly against music with parental advisory stickers, let alone something like CC. We sat there listening to "Unleash the Bloodthirsty" with our mouths open because it owned so hard. And actually it inspired a lot of music we wrote together. I don't know if it's just that I'm older and jaded now, but I don't get that same experience discovering music nowadays. It all comes and goes so fast. edit-- ah, it's me, the Boomer Count Thrashula fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Jan 6, 2020 |

Yeah I’m not trying to say any approach is better or anything. Music discovery and listening is better than ever now but it’s very easy to fall into laziness + short attention span. Working on avoiding that side effect.

Ignoring reviews is a pretty solid approach imo. Even if the reviewer comes down on the album in a way that ultimately matches your own subjective opinion, you'll have to endure the reviewer demonstrating how incredibly smart and funny they are in 1000 words or less. I'm not sure which is worst - LiveJournal entries about how the album has been the perfect soundtrack for a recent life event, unwarranted segues into the teachings of the philosopher tangentially referenced in one of the song titles, or the wacky "novelty review" (j/k they're all the worst). Just write about the loving music.
