Oh yes new Faidra

 

New release from the perennially awesome CIRCLE OF OUROBOROS



new demo out for this brutal Black Metal band but can’t find it streaming so here’s another release of theirs from this year —

 

this Friday holy shit

 

These guys are great

damn that’s a bummer. hopefully we see them surface in other projects.

 

plan on jamming this many times today

 

Same. Already on my 2nd listen.

 

New Baroness today too

 

Baroness is one of those bands I’ll always have a soft spot for due to their early output but they lost me a couple albums ago. The handful of reviews I’ve seen were positive for it though

 

I like it.

 

I hear a lot of Dream Unending bleeding into the new Tomb Mold. Not that that’s a bad thing in the slightest.

 

for the grind fans

 

I hear that, and Decrepit Birth’s Polarity record in terms of melodic / progressive influence.

I’m sure this will grow more on me, but I kind of miss the sick riffs of Manor Of Infinite Forms

 

Was discussed a few pages ago, but I have to say the new Horrendous album is brilliant.

They lost me the last couple releases, but this is excellent music. It’s like Red In The Sky era At The Gates with fantastic production and a megadose of progressive melody. Really good ideas throughout.

Decibel magazine just gave it 10 / 10, which might be only their first or second rating that high this year.

 

Grand Cadaver is a super group side project of a bunch of well known Swedish metal guys

Mikael Stanne from Dark Tranquillity on vocals.

They started the band as a vehicle to play old school Swedish death metal using riffs / ideas that didn’t fit their main bands because they were too heavy.

This song fucking rules and the album is tight.

 

I like their whole discog but definitely a fan of this one too. But I’m a sucker for proggy death

 

It's nice to see that Horrendous realized the path they were on was one of suck and have taken steps to rectify the issue.

 

New Cannibal Corpse out today

 

I’m loving it so far. Blood Blind is already one of my favorite CC songs. Rutan was such a good addition to the band and i feel like you can really hear his playing style on this album, lots of hate eternal riffs

 

missed this a few weeks ago. didn’t expect a new album from them but i’m very pleased

 

Tell me new Cannibal Corpse sucks without telling me it sucks.

 

The production after the double album was so bad that I just wrote them off tbh

Blue and Red still rip though

 

Well shit, I was only kidding but I listened to new CC tonight and it's their worst in years.

 

Speaking of shitty Kataklysm somehow gets worse with every new release. They haven't released a good album in 20 years now. That doubles Amon Amarth's shit streak of a decade.

 

Moonlight Sorcery and Harm’s Way both have new albums today

 

I'm about to listen to the Harm's Way, Moonlight is downloaded but might have to wait until tomorrow.

 

Well over a million subscribers, I don't know if I want to live in this world.

 

they do a bunch of twitch stuff, plus it's probably people who loved Inhuman Rampage when it came out

 

Is it similar to the garbage going on in that video?

 

I think it's mostly Herman Li doing guitar stuff but I haven't seen it in years

 

Moonlight Sorcery was good, if a little overwrought. It was like symphonic black metal with Yngwi Malmsteen-levels of gratuitous shredding.

I didn’t remember the first 2 EPs being that over the top.

 

Don't know how I stumbled upon this UK band The Antichrist Imperium but they're described as Progressive Black/Death Metal. Newest album pretty good, their 2015 is a little more straightforward and I definitely took to that.

 

Pretty sure these guys are like 18. For the old school death metal fans.

 

new Svalbard album is great

British melodic hardcore
chick vocalist
delicious chunky riffs
weighty emotions

reminds me a bit of Undying if they listened to more emo

 

also, posting that here because I think it’s silly that we have a separate thread for hardcore / metalcore

 

The new Kvelertak is solid. They’ll never reach the debut for me but I still enjoy their stuff. Also liked this melodic black metal album from Weald and Woe. Heavy Mental seems up your alley

 

love that artwork, will check it out

 

new Sulphur Aeon is out today. they are one of my absolute favorite modern bands, so was really excited for this.

it seems like the production (or maybe it's the vocals?) changes with every release, so it always takes me a minute to get adjusted. i liked the title track best on first listen.

 

i've also been really enjoying this album by King's Rot. they are melodic black metal from Calgary, CAN.

i'm a sucker for that classic, old timey looking Tolkien artwork.

 

I heard someone equate it to black metal Children of Bodom with the power metal influence and that seems fair

 

It’s grown a lot on me. That’s spot on.

 

Yeah I really like it but I also like everything they’ve done

 

i just loved the first 2 EPs so much that this felt like a big shift.

the third and fourth EPs were meh.

 

I was unaware they had two additional eps. I’ve only heard Piercing Through the Frozen Eternity and Nightwind: The Conqueror From the Stars. I’ll have to check those out

 

maybe they don't. maybe it was the singles released prior to the album, idk.

 

Really enjoyed the first listen. I found it more melodic than I remember their other stuff. I like that stuff too but it usually took me a few listens
