Music: Official Metal Thread VI

[Vordus]

Nice to see Demilich playing a big fest and getting recognition.


Death metal solo project:

 

[Hivemind]

That may be one of the best festival lineups of all time

It might not even be the best KTDF lineup.

Also see MDF in the 2009 & 2010

 

[Necropolis]

I've been really busy with my own musical projects as well as school for the past year or so that I haven't had enough time to keep in track with newer releases. So, what are some of the actually good releases of 2017 and what should I anticipate from 2018? The new Tribulation is the only album I've heard from 2018, was better than 'The Children of the Night' but still dissapointing to me. From 2017 I'm only familiar with Pagan Altar, Sutrah, Immolation, The Obsessed, Tchornobog and Azarath releases. Sutrah was pretty neat, I think. One of the few excellent tech death albums out there. I'm not the biggest fan of the production (especially the bass-heaviness at times) nor the vocals, but solid stuff anyways.

2010 looks good but a lot of those bands hadn't released their best material yet imo (Undergang, Anatomia, Krypts, Obliteration)
2012 and MDF 2009 not as good as either poster.
MDF 2010 looks pretty f***ing nuts though

 

[Hivemind]

MDF 2009 had two Bolt Thrower (they filled in for Pestilence after they dropped). That alone makes it the greatest festival of all time. Not to mention Mayhem before Mayhem tours became an every-year event in North America. But also a ton of other A+ bands, many of which were at the peak of their game (Aura Noir, General Surgery, Sigh, Krallice, Wolves in the Throne Room, Magrudergrind, Trap Them, PLF, Triac, Asphyx, Absu, etc)

Also, here's some KTDF 2012 bands you might not be familiar with (figuring you already know Necros Christos/Morbus Chron/Hooded Menace/Esoteric/etc from your tastes):
ZOM
Swallowed
Sadistic Intent
General Surgery
Master

In other news, Derketa is playing Migration Fest Pittsburgh in July, so now I'm less upset about missing KTDF

Try out:

Malokarpatan - Nordkarpatenland
Satan's Hallow - S/T
Sinmara/Misþyrming - Ivory Stone/Hof (split)
Cultes des Ghoules/Sepuchral Zeal - split
Spectral Voice - Eroded Corridors of Unbeing
Attic - Sanctimonioushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BSk08GAlwIw

Thanks mate, I will check out the ones I'm unfamiliar with this weekend. Today is a Power Metal day though (I know how much you love PM

Satan's Hallow - S/T
Sinmara/Misþyrming - Ivory Stone/Hof (split)
Cultes des Ghoules/Sepuchral Zeal - split
Spectral Voice - Eroded Corridors of Unbeing
Attic - Sanctimonious

I second all of these, I'm looking forward to more Sepuchral Zeal material, the song off that CdG split was great

 

[Hivemind]

I'm fine with good power/speed metal (typically American). It's the super cheesy Euro stuff that I dislike.

 

[Augscura]

New VoidCeremony is finally out and it's their best work yet

 

[Augscura]

 

[Hivemind]

 

[Ozz]

 

[Augscura]

Lol. Remember when they said the new album would incorporate elements of their early work?

 

[Hivemind]

Only parts of the new AtG single I don't like are the weird drum/vocal bits. Otherwise it's fine. They're never going to write TRITSIO again, and I'm okay with that. Even still, the bridge is darker than anything they've put out in a while.

Random question, do you post in the deathcult international group on facebook? Someone there basically said the same thing you did about the new ATG song (advising people to listen to the bridge)

I wish I was as cool as Julius =(

 

[Augscura]

Strong Demilich worship is strong

 

[MTP]

Been on a huge King Diamond kick lately so I've been revisiting his early work. Abigail and Them are such good records.

 

[Ouroboros]

Strong Demilich worship is strong

The fifth song on here [Ashore] is savage.

The programmed drums are... not great, but otherwise this has a lot of potential.

 

[Hivemind]

Kerrang posted some stupid map about best band from each state, but it does provide me an excuse to talk about Predatory Light. Enjoy.

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Is there any black metal that doesn't have shit production?

 

[Hivemind]

Is there any black metal that doesn't have **** production?
