Anyone gently caress with the I, Voidhanger releases?? Can't get enough of this label. Super twisted and unique underground metal poo poo. Top three releases by them so far: Order of the Solar Temple is top-tier BoC worship with some Pagan Altar-y doom thrown in Spectral Lore is some unique sounding atmospheric black metal Howls of Ebb is some seriously twisted death metal, almost like the murky death metal stuff (Portal et al) without any of the murky production.

Good to see that Battle Beast continues to average two songs per album about Berserk.

Gamma Nerd posted:Yeah, is that Nosferatu Zodd on the album cover? I think its just a winged version of their lion character that's on their other album. I'm personally waiting for the reveal that all of their songs, including Touch In The Night, are secretly about Berserk and it's been a rock opera project all along.

http://www.ensiferum.com/news Ensiferum announced their new album, it's called One Man Army and it's coming out in February. Cover art's infested with the drat blue and orange colour scheme, but at least it makes sense in the context and isn't the super-tired Machado Franco horseshit. It actually looks pretty rad.  There's also supposed to be a new track streaming at http://www.metalblade.com/ensiferum/ but at least at the moment of this posting there's nothing there. Interestingly, the new track was composed by Demonos Sova of Barathrum. P.S: How many -ums can there be on one three-band tour?

The last thing you want is for the bat to give you blisters or, worse, fly out of your sweaty hands as you’re swinging it and knock one of your bandmates in the head (trust me, I learned the hard way when I accidentally knocked out Craig Jones on our first Ozzfest… the injury he sustained as a result severely limited his mobility and speed, and is the reason he so rarely moves on stage). That’s why I use XPROTEX Krushr Batting Gloves… ain’t nothing slipping outta these bad boys. If you used them to rub one out, they’d rip your cock off. Now that’s quality!

Drunk Canuck posted:Anyway I'm flip flopping on going to see Opeth, In Flames & Red Fang, worth it? Yeah, no. I saw it in Atlanta Monday night--an entire 5 hours' drive, one way, from where I live. It was not my idea. I have driven further to see Opeth because I'm a hopeless fan girl, but I only went along with it because it was a fun adventure/mini-vacation with friends who wanted to go. Every bit of it sucked, except for Opeth. We had a great time in Atlanta, but the show did not make the trip, at least for me. My friends weren't as judgmental. But I've been a metal elitist smug shithead for a very long time, and they are not. Re: earlier posts, you guys weren't kidding about In Flames. Holy loving poo poo balls. I was so sad during their entire set. Not one song I knew, as, like I said earlier, I'm still stuck in the Jester Race era. What the gently caress happened? It was so bad. Don't go, unless you just want an excuse to get poo poo-faced and groove to Opeth, who had a shorter than usual setlist. I can't comment on Red Fang. I guess their music is okay? It's not my thing at all, and I couldn't get into it. It was an odd choice for this line-up.

I've seen Enslaved 2 or 3 times opening for other bands and always enjoyed their live show, but they are so drat prolific and their sound has changed so much that it's kinda hard to get a handle on their discography. I think so far I've listened to RIITIIR, Axioma, Ruun, Isa, and Frost. I dug them all but it's also the kind of music you can't really absorb by binging all their albums, so an overview would be cool.

Henchman of Santa posted:Because way more people listen to Marilyn Manson and everyone who will want to read and post about Enslaved already posts here or in the black metal thread? Well yeah, probably. I won't dispute that at all. Manson is also a much bigger and more popular band. And I like Manson, or at least did at one point. Still, if I make a Big Dumb Thread about Enslaved and no one's really that interested It'll just die a proper death, and that's okay. Not sure if anyone talks about Enslaved in the black metal thread at this point, though. They haven't been anywhere near black metal in at least 10-12 years. But, then again, I don't read the black metal thread. Fenrir fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Dec 17, 2014 |

I dug them all but it's also the kind of music you can't really absorb by binging all their albums, so an overview would be cool. Also, I quoted this post before, but if you're into the band, you seem to have started in the right places. From what you've listened to already, my immediate recommendation would be the Mardraum album, which may still to this day be their best, although they have tried (and tried QUITE WELL) to top it in recent years. I would recommend Vertebrae too but that album gets a lot of poo poo (deservedly) for its terrible production. God, those songs sounded so much better live... but you're probably not gonna hear them in concert now. Maybe Ground, but that's about it. Either way, To The Coast, Ground and Reflection are so loving good. Oh hell what am I saying, just listen to every Enslaved thing ever that isn't Monumension. Almost all of it is awesome. OH GOD it's happening again. The never-ending Enslaved gushing. And a new album in 3 months, during which I'll probably try to find ways to hide all this gush oh loving poo poo. In the meantime here is what I will give you all: THE loving BEACON God drat I love this loving band. HARK, MEN OF FAITH WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOUR CHILDREN BLED TO DEATH?

Eh, everyone isn't going to like everything, and that's cool. The choice of "boring" to describe them makes me kinda sad because I really love the warmth and energy they put into their stuff but *shrug* I've probably said that or worse about stuff other people like. e: wait, I'm supposed to get all "internet mad" because you don't like my favorite band. Hang on I gotta look stuff up. OK so first I have to insult you in a way that makes no sense. So .. umm, you're short. I have no idea whether or not that's true. I'm only 5'9" so I'm probably off by a whole lot there. Now I have to ... uh, call you a human being? I don't know at this point. So, you're gay or something. I'm real bad at this. Also, THE BEACON.

Who cares. Either way spectral lore have a new split with a band I'm going to assume is a group of nazis due to having the word "Reich" in their name and I'm not going to listen to any naysayers telling me the name really means "night realm" or anything else sane. But anyway the I haven't given the split my full attention but I liked the SL songs on it.

I'm 5'7 and was always under the impression that was average. I don't mind being a bit small though  @Vargatron: Spawn of Possession's last album is legit good, yeah, the songs are really well-constructed and do a good job of incorporating neoclassical influence without just becoming pure wank. If you liked Incurso, you should check out Anata's last 2 albums - similarly brilliant modern tech death band, bit less brutal than SoP.

I'm no expert, but the guitar work has a bit of Necrophagist-isms going on, and Necrophagist are pretty strongly inspired by Baroque music. The Evangelist even has some harpsichord synth playing counterpoint to the guitar parts. A friend of mine who's more knowledgeable says he heard some Bartok influence in that track, but I wouldn't know since the only compoaser I'm familiar with from that era is Stravinsky  Then again, if that was all it took to classify an album as "neoclassical", Nothingface would count because a part of Sub-Effect quotes The Rite of Spring. So, yeah, probably was silly of me to apply that term.
