Heavy Music thread

Glad I'm not the only one.

 

i love Blut Aus Nord's more melodic and folksy (Memoriam Vetusta trilogy) and/or psychedelic (Hallucinogens) output.

i am not a fan of the dissonant style of black metal, generally, but i get the appeal. maybe i'm too soft.

 

the riffs and song structures are actually pretty good. agree 100% on the vocals.

 

i liked the new Vorga materially better than the previous one, which i own in physical and thought was just ok.

the art, packaging, and overall vibe of the band is really cool. i bought the prior album basically unheard when i saw the artwork.

my favorite track from the new one was The Cataclysm...real screamer.

 

Been listening to this for 3 weeks and it's super weird. It has all the elements of something I should love, and I just don't care for it at all.

 

I’m in same boat. I adored the last album, one of my favorite death metal albums in recent years.

new one has a lot of the same elements as you said, but just doesn’t “hit”

Idk

 

New Rivers of Nihil this fall

 

With the former lead guitarist from Black Crown Initiate.

 

this accidentally went live early on spotify and i’ve listened to it three times already. they’re the kings of grind right now.

 

new Crypt Sermon announced for later this year. these guys rule.

 

Yeah this Dodsrit album rips. Reminds me of Khemmis but their guitar player is better

 

i don't hear much Khemmis in there, but definitely rips.

 

Well this sounds promising.

 

The core stuff is pretty different obviously but it has giant guitar harmonies and solos

 

It's like if Khemmis did black metal.

 

In my mind I kind of had them as a mix of the crust/black of Wormwitch and the melodic black of Mgla/Uada

edit: which is to say, shit I love

 

i agree. historically their thing was Dissection meets Disfear.

this year's album is more the former, less the latter.

 

if you like Dodsrit, one band that you should check out is Ancst.

also from Germany, also blending melodic black metal and crust influences. their drummer is great.

would start with Moloch and Ghosts of the Timeless Void.

 

edit: Dodsrit is Swedish. for some reason i thought they were also from Germany, like Ancst.

 

Happy new Witch Vomit release day

 

like 800 plays in a week just between spotify and bandcamp and i’m sold out of cassettes. i know it’s not really this thread’s style but im v happy and honestly surprised at the general reception to it. looking at getting some pro tapes made since there’s still demand. i’m done hand-dubbing cassettes lol

 

I remember checking the mp3.com plays of my college emo band and getting pumped at a dozen plays in a day.

Congrats on the release!

 

i had never heard of this band but saw the hype around this release.

listened to it today and it was awesome. good shout.

 

Highly recommend their 2019 release as well

 

will check it out - thanks

 

Just got the bandcamp notification about the Darkthrone pre-order/single release

 

new Darkthrone single is out, it rocks. i pre-ordered the 'Fenriz-edition' vinyl.



also new Necrot today.

 

some other interesting filth i have been rocking

Tzompantli, meso-American themed death / doom. the definition of pummeling.




Coffins, Japanese death / doom that reminds me a bit of Gravesend. disgusting guitar tone.

 

If you’re into Gorguts, check out Replicant - Infinite Mortality.

 

The new Antichrist Siege Machine comes out next Friday. Early reviews are strong. Really looking forward to that one.

 

I liked the two singles so far. Hopefully seeing them on that 1349 tour.

I don’t usually like ‘war metal’ or whatever, but the two new singles seem more song-like than most stuff from that genre. Like, you can actually distinguish riffs.

 

They’re accessible if war metal can be accessible

 

I really love this thing. Scratches that abrasive, weird death metal itch

 

yeah this is really good

unrelated, the new gatecreeper stuff is so disappointing. if you want to make accessible music, start a new band. i wouldn’t even consider them death metal anymore. the song the black curtain sounds like something erra would have written

 

I’m seeing them with In Flames and Creeping Death next month. TBH I enjoy their early stuff but even their latest record I wasn’t that into. Low key I’m most interested in Creeping Death from that show

 

A few noteworthy releases today:

Hekseblad - Kaer Morhen (The Witcher themed black metal)
Atrae Bilis - Aumicide (technical death metal)
My Dying Bride - A Mortal Binding (death doom/gothic metal)

 

chicago locals killing it once again. really looking forward to seeing them live soon

 

Also Antichrist Siege Machine, as previously mentioned itt

 

new High on Fire, also

 

Hey this kicks ass! How’d you do the drums?

 

thanks a lot!! i appreciate that. i used the MT Power drum kit plugin - https://www.powerdrumkit.com/ on all that stuff.

i’ve got some new material i’m finishing up and i’m using this plugin, it’s definitely an upgrade but not free https://ugritone.com/

 

death/thrash/black

 

I like it but I'm pretty sure you ate that microphone.

 

loving the new Darkthrone, came out yesterday

 

Pretty good so far.

 

Listened to maybe 60 seconds of new Inter Arma but sounded promising

 

New Fulci album this summer

 

Is this a good lineup? Local folks freaking out

 

Suffocation and Morbid Angel are past their prime, but I think they’re still fun to see live. and everyone should see Knoll at least once. i think it’s a solid lineup after summer’s laughter was so disappointing
