Saw this posted on my feed. New album out next week!

Found out Vader is playing Chicago in a few months, and I'm working out how the gently caress I can see this as it's downtown downtown Chicago. You need a battleplan to do anything down there so I might say gently caress it and get a room and metra in and out.

I still have to stuff to re-listen to (just don't have the time anymore!) but I think I finalized my top 10 for the year overall and am pretty solid on the top 10 of just metal albums:

1. Sigh - Shiki: How Mirai continuously reinvents himself is really quite something. Mike Heller is an incredible addition on drums. They haven't been this aggressive in over a decade. Probably my favorite since Imaginary Sonicscape.

2. Ashenspire - Hostile Architecture: Scottish radical anarchist avant-garde metal. In a great year for polemical heavy music this is the best one. Really cool and eclectic instrumentation.

3. Cloud Rat - Threshold: Grindcore with the emotional catharsis of the best screamo. Two absolute killers in a row for them. Probably the best grind band around now.

4. Pure Wrath - Hymn to the Woeful Hearts: The most gorgeous black metal of the year. Nothing original, just really stirring stuff about the Indonesian genocide.

5. Imperial Triumphant - Spirit of Ecstacy: Best skronks of the year. Dizzying, unpredictable stuff. Kenny G has a Metal-Archives page now lol

6. Wormrot - Hiss: Their best work! Lots of different styles incorporated and Arif went all-out for his farewell. Curious to hear what the new Wormrot sounds like without him.

7. Anal Stabwound - Reality Drips Into the Mouth of Indifference: This literal child put out an incredible piece of Defeated Sanity worship.

8. Esoctrilihum - Consecration of the Spiritus Flesh: Don't know how this guy keeps doing it but nobody is crushing it at the same clip as Asthaghul. Horrific blackened death goodness as usual.

9. Messa - Close: I waffle between this and Ashenspire as the ideal 2022 metal album for non-metal fans. It's got a doom base but it's more textural than it is crushing. Great vocals and saxophone. Just a cool experience.

10. Undeath - It's Time... to Rise From the Grave: Prosthetic obviously put a lot of hype behind this because it's baffling that a standard OSDM album was the token metal release to get praise on many music sites' AOTY lists. But execution trumps originality here. This is the most fun record of the year. Only Anal Stabwound and Pharmacist come close in that department.

Honorable mentions: Chat Pile, Boris (Heavy Rocks), The Chasm, Cult of Luna, Ripped to Shreds, Negative Plane, Doldrum, White Ward, Morrow, Mizmor & Thou, Faceless Burial, SpiritWorld

nechochwen didn't even make your honorable mentions wth

i have a few more things to listen to but my top 10 in no order is probably

Nechochwen
Ashenspire
Sigh
Hath
Cloud Rat
Haunter
Esoctrilihum but both records combined so i'm cheating
imperial triumphant
voivod
cult of luna

but i'm leaving off tons of things i loved or like da lot, venom prison, mizmor & thou, cave in because it's metal adjacent, black matter device, artificial brain, tomarum, liminal shroud, blackbraid, tulip, asunojokei, revocation, callous daoboys, god alone, messa, sawtooth grin, white ward...it was a really good year.

I'm gonna go see imperial triumphant with couch slut and cloak next month, first show in forever

So I'm checking out the Watain that came out last year, and it's pretty good. These guys aren't Nazis, are they? The album imagery is kinda... sketchy... but everything I've found online says they have actively denounced nazi poo poo.

I think their controversy was that some touring member did a Nazi salute and that’s why they had to denounce Nazi poo poo in the first place. Could be misremembering.

Hard to argue, he went NSBM pretty hard for a while there. Sucks, Nattestid ser porten vid is still one of my favorite BM albums.

I have enjoyed plenty of his music (helps that it's not in English) but I remember the first time people started protesting Taake shows there were the usual suspects arguing that you should be able to be critical of Muslims if you can do the same for Christians but the actual lyrical content was about Arabs invading on flying carpets or some poo poo.

Honest question: are Meads of Asphodel fascists/nsbm? They get namedropped in that article about Taake but I always thought they were tongue in cheek and wouldn’t guess a song called “Jew Killer” is anti-Semitic (not a good title though)

Meads also employed that Pope Richard person who was basically the self-appointed leader of "anti-fascist" metal circa 2017-18 and would block you on Twitter if you pointed out this fact.

That whole album is some sort of metal jesus christ superstar thing, I think that song is from the perspective of biblical characters talking about the persecution of Jesus. Still a really stupid choice. They also say the N word in one of the songs on that album too lmao. Pretty sure these guys are just morons and not nazis but it's kind of hard to tell.
