surprised nobody ever thought to make this thread before, tbh
this week:
Cold Night For Alligators – Fervor
https://open.spotify.com/album/6DxVfEMuCfhZDjn3sR9m4G
Djent-y prog metal, the like, very first minute isn't very good but I was more into this than I expected besides that
Fractal Cypher – Prelude to an Impending Outcome
https://open.spotify.com/album/4bXekRxKHK3tC4QWEghwQO
Solid prog metal stuff, at the very least worth a revisit
-
there's other message boards I'm on that sort of do this, but not 1-topic, but a topic every week (52 every year approx).
The Calendar topic is good, but maybe it's best for anticipation as opposed Now Available/Released.
Maybe it should also be a stickie?
also there are some releases (including singles) that do not get released on Fridays still (I'm thinking of Bandcamp releases and Album Release Shows from local artists namely). In other words, it's fine to mention something that is released THAT WEEK for example.
-
Wow, didn't know there was a new Lost In Thought. Ordering that today! :metal

And this thread wins already
Thanks!

No link atm because I'm on my phone but this week I know of 2:
Architects. Kind of boring, they moved into a sound almost completely reliant on breakdowns in every song.
New Thomas Giles album (singer of BTBAM), pretty awesome. Probably his best. Features Einar Solberg of Leprous and Kristoffer Rygg of Ulver among others.
-
Next week we got Shattered Skies- Muted Neon being released. Here's a single off it for those curious...

Giggity.
Glad to see/hear that the Lost In Thought is finally streaming - it's been out for a month from their Pledge campaign. Will be listening tonight!

Wow, didn't know there was a new Lost In Thought. Ordering that today! :metal
Had to listen to this. So funny that the album opens right like Haken's Vector, so similar than Clear, those Nomac sounds are quite usual nowadays :D

Sunless Dawn - Timeweaver
https://open.spotify.com/album/1gJn6DiE9qOokpXNXzIBXy
Some mmmm good proggy death metal. Was only half listening to it while working and it caught my attention quite a few times, dug it a lot. Definitely one to revisit.

Musically that really good. As always, it will be about tolerating the vocals.

The Drowned God - I'll Always Be the Same: https://open.spotify.com/album/3FEo4kjSuuFikarwoH2RTZ
Post-hardcore with some atmospheric elements, makes me think of Devil Sold His Soul to an extent
Dødsfall - Doden Skal Ikke Vente: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u_VhHe6V1I
Straight up black-metal, notable mostly for how dynamic and diverse all the tunes are, dug it more than I was expecting

stuff from the last three weeks of releases because i forgot about this thread
Belzebubs - Pantheon of the Nightside Gods: https://open.spotify.com/album/0TAQARpkOylXFwDT81Hdvi
a "virtual band" who plays actually pretty legit black metal. the back half was stronger than the front half, which i found a bit dull
De Lirium's Order - Singularity: https://open.spotify.com/album/0Iskt6PW9Owwxxi3tgSNGW
weird and varied melodic tech death, a bit on the short side but i dug it
Hath - Of Rot and Ruin: https://open.spotify.com/album/4ppnj41kkv3IVQ5gtAU5OL
proggy death metal, maybe a bit end on the chuggy side at times but it makes up for it with a lot of cool stuff throughout
Illyria - The Carpathian Summit: https://open.spotify.com/album/1lHWtlZfolidwqgWKHvmqi
way up the folky/progressive side of black metal, kinda makes me think of fen but not as heavy
Indepth - The Endless Pursuit: https://indepthmx.bandcamp.com/album/the-endless-pursuit
solid enough proggy death metal, it kept me interested but it wasn't stupendous
L'Acéphale - L'Acéphale: https://open.spotify.com/album/579ZkM09IZbe3CjbuYKS3k
actually relistening to this one right now which is what inspired me to update my posts here. this is uhh. some seriously good black metal w/ folk elements, a 75ish minute album that i enjoy pretty much front-to-back
Numenorean - Adore: https://open.spotify.com/album/4Yf0HZRHPCZvRteeDMLcul
it's like if black metal married djent and they had a weird, kinda interesting and cool baby
Tanagra - Meridiem: https://open.spotify.com/album/1xyoyOnY9y31z3JjrccbdG
for something labelled as "prog/power" this was actually pretty legit, a lot heavier and more interesting than i had expected
Tripsitter - The Other Side Of Sadness: https://open.spotify.com/album/7u5AO6HhwNFYFz6i7GTvlt
i don't remember this one but i called it pretty solid post-hardcore and put it on my relisten list so it's probably pretty alright
Valence - Cognitive Dissidents: https://open.spotify.com/album/1IHHEzkfPkjwiLHn2GoBav
pretty dang solid instrumental prog metal, I feel it doesn't get too wanky but still impresses both technically and musically

Warforged - I: Voice: https://open.spotify.com/album/1kS9bkcY4yORQ9IVN5N4Y2
Progressive death metal, really damn cool also. On first listen this strikes me as a potential AOTY candidate.
Dreadnought - Emergence: https://dreadnoughtdenver.bandcamp.com/album/emergence
More jazzy, experimental metal from these guys. Nothing too fresh for them but I dig it all the same
We Never Learned To Live - The Sleepwalk Transmissions: https://open.spotify.com/album/0LOuFauCKuireSkXxx4Ert
Listened to a lot of post-hardcore releases this year, this is one of the best I've heard in the genre so far
Inanimate Existence - Clockwork: https://open.spotify.com/album/2pSjswovkQY2HWISQji1Tc
Good but probably not necessary tech death release, still enjoyed it a fair bit
Spirit Adrift - Divided by Darkness: https://open.spotify.com/album/1Rhb00yOhwoDA4e5ozkn02
More doom/heavy metal from this band, felt a bit more upbeat and varied than their last record tbh, liked it more than I expected
Defeater - Defeater: https://open.spotify.com/album/1zu0hVMxzCynLQg4wOIjAr
More pretty solid post-hardcore, though I didn't like this one quite as much as the other one I called out
Nyss - Dépayser: https://avantgardemusic.bandcamp.com/album/d-payser
Kinda cool blackened death metal (?) type release with some nice strings and general prog feel
was a pretty solid week for new releases

progressive black metal, some long and pretty adventurous tracks, diverse and intense where it needs to be, dug this a lot
Destrage - The Chosen One: https://open.spotify.com/album/5ZnVNr9q2jL5x1tPV6Osnl
not really reminiscent of their earlier stuff but it's kinda protest the hero-y, almost. melodic and technical metalcore, basically
Atlases - HAAR: https://open.spotify.com/album/3YXgVERAsQ1OfTcFbdm4Gv
hard to really classify this one, it's caught between more atmospheric moments, some more bombastic stuff, kinda dark & heavy vibes throughout. neat stuff tho

Cool. Thank you for the link. I was looking for this on Spotify and they didn't have it.
I don't think this is for me. The music is not really good enough to put up with those vocals. I like some of the middle parts. They are pretty groovy, but the songs really go on and on.
So wait...one guy does harsh and operatic vocals, and the other guy does the clean and guttural vocals?
Wut? :lol
-
i mean i figured that kinda thing wouldn't be your thing but some of the stuff you sent me in my last roulette was also stuff i wouldn't think was your thing so what do i know :P
-
In the roulettes I've been in over the last year with you guys, I've discovered more music in figuring what to send. A lot of it was new to me. But I never sent something that I didn't personally like. I figure, it has to be good enough to put my name on it.
That said, while I am open now to harsh vocals, all harsh vocals are not created equally. Plus, the music really has to hold it up and make it worth it for me.

Slightly related:
The prog metal sub of Reddit (reddit.com/r/progmetal) has a weekly listening event (kinda like we do sometimes with plug.dj) where they play 4-5 new releases every week and invite band members where possible to join in and chat with people there about their new releases. It's a cool way to find out about new stuff, and they always post a schedule of which albums will be played. https://discordapp.com/invite/JemGSYk
They also keep track of a document with a bunch of upcoming albums: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fQFg52uaojpRCz29EzSHVpsX5SYVJ2VN8IuKs9XA5W8/edit#gid=100769618

last week:
An Isolated Mind - I'm Losing Myself: https://open.spotify.com/album/1YBB2xdarfCkomnEKADtWa
Front half is some nice, spacey black metal, back half is some ambient/drone. I like both halves but I kinda wish the ambient was... not as long
Joliette - Luz Devora: https://open.spotify.com/album/7Ejwp1ylb3pG9v1bK47Zrn
some kind of hybrid of post-hardcore and post-metal, it's a bit less colorful than i tend to prefer but on first listen i dug this a fair bit regardless
this week:
WAIT - We Are In Transit: https://open.spotify.com/album/2gTfcR2AXyicQftP6kaJO1
pretty solid proggy death metal EP. unfortunately only an EP, i'd love to hear more of this, but i might keep spinning it anyways, dunno. it's neat.

falls of rauros was alright. didn't really like lingua outside of some of the more intense moments, it's a bit too slow-paced and i'm not keen on her cleans. i don't have anything to add to the list at this time

Gonna check out Lord this weekend, but that NorthTale record is dope. No frills melodic power metal, right in the pocket of 150-170 BPM, 1998-2003 era power metal, exactly like Bill Hudson described. Glad it met my expectations. No corny gimmicks or one-note lyrical themes either.

New releases today:
Cult of Luna - A Dawn to Fear (Album)
It's better than I remember, but still very safe for CoL standards.. the last 2 tracks are completely killer, so are The Silent Man and Nightcrawler. So even though it's middle of the road for them, still a great album!
White Ward - Love Exchange Failure (Album)
Already listened to the Bandcamp stream earlier this week, it's ok, but the first and last song are by far the best things on here.
Black Crown Initiate - Years in Frigid Light (Single)
Nothing special, but still really good. Strong cleans as always, and cool proggy ending. Seeing them tonight with Rivers of Nihil, Møl and Orbit Culture, hope they play it! :metal
Orbit Culture - Nensha (Single)
Also seeing tonight :metal this single is way better than what I've heard from them before, but still not a huge fan of this band.

well i've never been that into ATDI unfortunately :P

I take it back, this is like all the best parts of ATDI, Mars Volta, Sparta, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Fall of Troy all condensed down. The production is a little on the harsh side and the vocals aren't the greatest, but musically this is pretty awesome.

Have you checked out Greg Chandler's other band Lychgate? Their last album was just ok, but their first 2 are great!
I haven’t but I’m interested. Could you link me to a song you like?

Iapetus - The Body Cosmic: https://open.spotify.com/album/5Dn3YaUOL3XnBZvbNWWXR9
proggy & melodic death metal, it's uhh, basically four long songs with a bunch of interlude tracks tbh but it's all good stuff

So Liturgy's new album HAQQ just released today. I'm not sure what to think about it. It's sort of like Devin Townsend mixed with Krallice, but with the strangeness cranked up to 11.

Erthlings - Indigo
https://open.spotify.com/album/4EGEvPEXUTrCQaIaBjOwJs
I love this band so far, been following them on facebook for a year or more. Like a teenage Warpaint.
the last 2 tracks are my favorites. "Go Ahead" I have had on repeat.

Hypno5e - A Distant (Dark) Source
Sleep Token - Sundowning
Two AOTY contenders in one day, what the hell. Super surprised by how good the Sleep Token album is, the way they were leading up to the release was kind of lame but now that it's all out there I'm pretty hyped
-
yup, both of those are on my list for tomorrow
we'll see what else drops

Black Fate / Ithaca
and
Defecto / Duality
Both most excellent. Any fans of Khan-era Kamelot will love Black Fate. Vocalist Vasilis Georgiou is a dead ringer for Khan.

This guy is also in Sunburst and The Chronicles Project (I think?). Remedy of My Heart (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loJ-7sxEy10) by Sunburst is very much like Memento Mori by Kamelot.

And a band called Innosense (album is Outcast). In one of my roulette's, I got Chronicles Project, and Black Fate in the same round ... and couldn't believe how similar the two (err... one) vocalist sounded to Khan. :lolpalm:

Fantasic single by Damian Wilson
https://damianwilson.bandcamp.com/album/hard-to-keep-faith
Also available in all streaming outlets.
This is my first time I listen to DW outside the piano stuff with Adam Wakeman, Threshold, and Headspace. If this is how his solo albums are like, I'm in for a treat.

Don't hold your breath. A lot of his (older) solo is poppy/jazzy. Entertaining stuff, but not quite the same as this.

Funny, I just looked on Wikiipedia this morning as I was wondering if Damian had released anything recently. Of course it was not up to date so no mention of this release. Nice song.

Cheers, I'll give it a shot.
Just realised that the new album, Fuck Art, by The Dirty Nil came out so far this year:
https://open.spotify.com/album/4JbNX3CUHNkE2jvKA6u7bH?si=LHYS1eSJTPqYOWb3xqdMDw (https://open.spotify.com/album/4JbNX3CUHNkE2jvKA6u7bH?si=LHYS1eSJTPqYOWb3xqdMDw)
Don't think it'll get much traction here, being a punk/alt rock album, but it's good!

I've always struggled with Damian and I'm not sure why. He's learly a talented singer but I just don't like his voice. I think watching him on the Star One dvd did it, his mannerisms and pose - wher ehe looks like the guy in the pub who wants to show off his triceps. Anyway, I liked that song.

THERION - Leviathan
WARDRUNA - Kvitrafn
I wonder why hardly anyone talks about Therion on this forum, they're not prog metal of course but the brilliant variety of styles album after album with nobody really the same as the previous should appeal to many progheads, especially those who don't mind the symphonic approach.

I've wondered the same thing myself.
Probably as they are not known at all in the USA and more in Europe.
Been into them for 20 years saw them live in 2005 and were amazing.

New single from Kauan, pretty good stuff. After their last album which was super mellow and dreamy they're going back to a more heavy sound, and there's some really nice lead guitar here.

Joel Hoekstra's 13 - Running Games
Totally loving this one! Joel is such a great hard rock songwriter! All the band is killing it, even Vinnie Appice is showing more diversity in his playing. Also I think Russel as the only lead vocalist this time was a better option.

When the fuck is Spotify going to get it thru their goddamn algorithms that I don't like rap? No matter how much I select "I don't like <artist> / this song" I get at least 8-10 songs in my Release Radar every week that are rap songs/artists, somehow tagged with an additional artist that would normally be something I like. Eg, A song showed up today by "Riddles, Mercenary", and another by "King Tipps, Eclipse". 13 of the 29 songs were like this. And another 12 songs that aren't exactly "new" (they're at least 3-4 weeks old, eg... Epica), there were only 5 songs of any interest, and one album - Primitai / Violence of the Skies.
Spotify needs some new programmers, and/or better AI tools.

Evanescence - The Bitter Truth

Thanks goo-goo. I gave this a couple of spins today based on your recommendation and agree this is great. Will give it a few more listens. As much as I can see the Tool, Soen, Vola references, this album also reminds me quite a bit of Karnivool in parts as well.

The Stranger also released their debut today, I think it's a great album
-
Arion / Vultures Die Alone... closer to what their debut sounded like (which is a fantastic power metal album) vs their last release (which was rather mediocre, imo). Primal Fear put out an EP, which contained a re-recording of a track from their last album with Tarja. Not sure if the other 4 tracks are new or not. Still need to tee up Sweet Oblivion / Relentless.
Not much else stood out in my Release Radar (since most of it has already been released).

It is actually their second. The first one is a blast! Just starting digesting the new one.
-
Evanescence - The Bitter Truth
Do you like it?
Blind-bought it and think it’s just ok but I’ve never been a fan of the band.
I do like it. Amy has a solid group behind her for these last 2 albums. I'm especially a big fan of their drummer, Will Hunt.
She struggled, in my opinion, on their first album without Ben but has really made some good music with the self-titled and this new one.

Today sees the releases of two re-issues with lots of bonus stuff and new mixes.
The Who - Sell Out (my favourite Who album)
John Lennon & Yoko Ono - Plastic Ono Band
-
Field Music’s new album Flat White Moon is out today. I pre-ordered it, but I think I picked no-rush delivery so won’t get it until next week probably (haven’t gotten a shipping notice yet at any rate).

King Buffalo - The Burden of Restlessness
Red Fang - Arrows
Rise Against - Nowhere Generation
Boss Keloid - Family the Smiling Thrush
Esoctrilihum - Dy'th Requiem for the Serpent Telepath
Somnuri - Nefarious Wave
-
I guess the new Paul Gilbert album came out today. I pre-ordered it weeks ago and Amazon has no idea when they are going to ship it. It showed up in my Autorip library today.
-
Esoctrilihum has definitely been out for a few weeks but the others i think are all new today yeah
-
Only thing of note for me this week is King Gizzard and the Lizzard Wizard - Butterfly 3000.

King Buffalo - The Burden of Restlessness
I gave this a listen - call me intrigued ;D Very interesting sound. Anyone else getting a Kevin Moore-vibe in the vocals? Especially in the closer, "Loam"
-
New album from Garbage, No Gods No Masters, is getting great reviews.

Spinning this now
-
There doesn't seem to be much that I'm interested in this week. All I've added to my 2021 playlist is the new Bossk and Galneryus. Oh, and an album that I missed last week, Go Ahead and Die, a new band featuring Max Cavelera.
-
A few of interest for me today - new Pendulum EP, new 20th anniversary remix of Muse's Origin of Symmetry, and new Helloween.
-
I'll be checking out the new Helloween album tonight. It's been many years since I listened to them though.
-
There's a few that dropped today that I'd had on my radar:
Neonfly / The Future, Tonight
Tolkki's Avalon / The Enigma Birth
Chalice of Sin / s/t
Crowne / King In The North
Styx / Crash of the Crown
I've made my way thru the first two. Good stuff. JLB on Avalon was an unexpected surprise.
-
Couple of releases I'm looking forward to this week (tomorrow):
Pharaoh - The Powers That Be
Thy Catafalque - Vadak
-
Thy Catafalque - Vadak
Oh shit, forgot about this. Definitely spinning this tomorrow.

Thy Catafalque - Vadak

It's already up on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6D4pAukKys&t=1s
I plan on listening to it this afternoon. I wasn't impressed by any of the singles but we'll see how it is.
-
Not sure if any of these were actually released yesterday, but a couple of singles that caught my eye over the past couple months had albums drop recently:
Silver Talon / Decadence and Decay
Sonic Haven / Vagabond
Molybaron / The Mutiny
Will fire these up today / tomorrow
-
The Silver Talon has been out for a couple of weeks. I checked it and didn't end up saving it. I'll give it another go.
-
Silver Talon didn't hit me right away, but for some reason I kept going back to it. I like it a ton now. Sure, there's a lot of Nevermore in there, especially with the vocals, but I think there's more of an old-school feel (in the best possible meaning of the word) that works great.
-
Incidentally, Silver Talon is an offshoot of Spellcaster (RIP - check out their last album Night Hides the World, pretty cool), which also spawned Unto Others (aka Idle Hands)

Also added Born of Osiris - Angel or Alien
-
One of the Devin Townsends live stream shows was also released.
-
So, one listen in for At the Gates...couldn't pay too too close attention, but it definitely feels a little more adventurous than the two comeback albums preceding it. Some interesting arrangements and song structures, less reliance on the riffs alone. Some stuff tends to blend a bit but, again, I wasn't really giving it full attention. I did leave me wanting to go back to it, so that's a good sign. "Cosmic Pessimism" seems like a pretty cool song, reminds me of recent Enslaved...
-
Enshine released a new EP, it's pretty great as to be expected, more of the same really.

I have absolutely nothing on my radar this week. Anything of note coming out today?

Nothing on my list for another 2 or 3 weeks.

yeah this month's dry as hell for me. june was pretty bad too. feels like everyone's pandemic album is already out and they don't have anything new to show for the moment
-
Hybrid - Black Halo
Vonavi posted about this on Instagram earlier. I'm really enjoying this and this artist has a number of records in his catalog I may be checking out as well soon for a fix on Ambient, Cinematic electronic muisc, which I'm sure has served as a big inspiration for Vonavi.

I'm a big fan of Hybrid's earlier albums. I have this on my radar, but it's the only album from this week that of interest to me. Very dry week.

Dear Mother - Bulletproof (Mayan, Delain members)
Bulb - Moderately Fast, Adequately Furious (Misha solo album from Periphery)
-
Really intrigued by this artist from New Zealand, Anthonie Tonnon, who's second album, Leave Love Out, is out today. Kind of a blend of Bowie, Byrnes, and Bono as a singer.

UK proggers "Big Big Train" released "Common Ground" last week. Man, these guys keep pushing out albums, I don't think I've gotten around to give the previous 2 or 3 a good listen and now there's another one!
It's usually really good music, tho. Recommended for those into the prog 'rock' and not so much in the 'metal'.

NEW TREMONTI ALBUM! MARCHING IN TIME!
I enjoyed it and I didn't really have much expectations from it. I might enjoyed it better than Myles Kennedy's Ides of March (which I still like) and that I had slightly higher expectations for.
-
What showed up in my Spotify Release Radar playlist today ....
Teramaze / And the Beauty The Perceive - I'd seen this a couple days ago on YT. Very much looking forward to the release in a few weeks.
Aeon Zen / Twilight - very nice. I've been a mild fan of these guys for a while. I'd forgotten the whole album dropped today. :giggity:
JSS & Dino Jelusick - Don't Let It End. nice duet... didn't realize JSS was releasing an album of re-recorded songs with a duet partner for each.
-
New Miles Davis album, "The Lost Concert" released today, the 30th anniversary of his death, is a rare performance of Miles playing newer and older tunes, featuring Kenny Garrett, Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, John McLaughlin, Dave Holland, John Scofield, Joe Zawinul, and more.

One album coming out today that I'm excited to check out:
Unto Others - "Strength"
The band was formerly know as Idle Hands, and their album "Mana" was one of my favorites from 2019, a great mix of goth and classic metal. The singles sounded promising, more or less in the same vein as the full-length debut. Will give it a listen today...
-
Cyan - ‘For King and Country’
-
Anybody listened to the Spiritbox album? Loving it so far.
Didn't know about this band until recently. Their music keeps playing on Liquid Metal. Not bad, enjoyable songs so far.
Listening to Rivers of Nihil right now :metal
EDIT: I will need to listen to Rivers of Nihil again. There are some good moments, but not a lot of memorable parts. However, there was nothing I disliked on first listen. We will see.
The Void from Which no Sound Escapes, MORE? stood out the most on first listen :metal
-
I've just got the new Sleep Token and Rivers of Nihil to check out today. Anything else?
Only listened to the Sleep Token once so far but it sounded awesome.
For me it's:
- Sleep Token
- Tremonti
- Public Service Broadcasting
- Clarence Clarity EP
- Mad Lollypop EP
-
i think i liked the sleep token more than i otherwise would've because it immediately followed rivers of nihil, which has such crap drum mixing it's nigh unlistenable for me lol

Well the new album will be the bands 3rd release in under a year. Sorella Minore, the song, is Her Halo pt. 2. At 26 minutes long so 4 songs in total at about 45 minutes qualifies as a full album but I get what you're saying.

Just listened to the work by Rivers of Nihil. This one will take multiple listens. So many layers to work thru. I have not listened to between the buried and me, but some of the reviewers are saying it sounds like
BTBAM when their style changed.
-
I don't see any mentions of Mostly Autumn. I'm halfway through it and loving it so far. I still miss Heather Findlay, but they remain masters of that folky Floyd vibe.

it was already a problem on the last album but it's an absolute disaster on this one
there's moments of the album i liked but they were almost exclusively not metal moments because the drums just CRUSH the guitars during any loud moments
-
Really excited for...the new Poppy album coming out this Friday.
I didn't really care for her last album, other than "Don't Go Outside" which was an amazing song and eerily prescient given when it came out. But I just listened to the new one and it quite impressed me, it seems like she's found her stride.

I'm about halfway through the album now and I don't really see the issue. The drums are loud, but I can still hear the guitars fine. Some albums just have really in your face drum mixing. Vader's Litany has relentless jackhammer kicks for example. A mixing disaster is something like St. Anger or the original Enemies of Reality, not this.

After a lot of music the past two Fridays, just two EPs for me today - Novena and Enslaved.

Vetrar Draugurinn's The Night Sky just came out and it's probably my favorite album of the year so far. It's atmospheric, melodic, gothic doom metal, with one of my favorite vocalists, who guested with Ayreon, and one of Stream of Passion's former guitarists.

Thanks for the recommendation, sounds interesting - I'll add it to my list to check out.
Also, it's been good to see you posting again recently!

Yeah, I wish I'd thought about it a bit earlier, I'm sure I've missed out on a lot. I've sporadically had more time here and there due to fallout from the last 1.5 years. I still post occasionally at the other place as well.

new Vonavi tune "Still With Me (ft Run Rivers)" :tup
Sounds like a continuation of his last record, Reflection, from 2019.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PONCkG798G8
-
I just had the new Trivium and BADBADNOTGOOD yesterday.
I also got around to checking out the new Four Stroke Baron, that came out last week. It's a really good album and serious contender. I'll definitely be revisiting.
-
Quite a few on my hit list today.
Twelve Foot Ninja - Vengeance
This was fine but I wasn't particularly impressed. I'd checked out the singles on the run up to this but none were that memorable. They've added in some electronic/video game sounds this time around. I think the album has been released to coincide with a video game created by someone in the band?
I absolutely love One Handed Killing by this band, but I haven't found one single song that has ever hit me in the same way.
Hippotraktor - Meridian
Never heard of this band before but it's a Pelagic Records release and something about it caught my eye/ear. It was pretty good and I'll give it a relisten. Don't know how to describe it but it sounds like a Pelagic release.
A. A. Williams - Arco (EP)
This was hauntingly beautiful, and I also realised that she released a cover album this year so I'll give that a listen today as well.
Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes - Sticky
Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes are OK, but I know I check out each release as I feel I owe it to him. I fucking LOVED all the Gallows releases when he was in the band, but none of his Rattlesnakes releases do much for me.
Star Wars Visions - OSTs
I loved the new Star Wars Visions shorts that were out last month. The soundtracks to all 9 shorts have been released today. I remember some being better than others but I'll pick out the highlights.
-
Just saw that Dug Pinnick has a new solo album out today. Randy McStine does some guitar and other stuff on it. Will have to check out.
-
Anybody listened to the Spiritbox album? Loving it so far.
Didn't know about this band until recently. Their music keeps playing on Liquid Metal. Not bad, enjoyable songs so far.
I've been hearing their name quite a lot in the last few months, but I kept putting them off until now. I was worried it would be another Jinjer situation, where they just don't work for me (yet anyway). I was quite blown away, honestly. More melodic than Jinjer, Courtney has a really great clean voice. The chorus on "Hurt You" I think is going to be stuck in my head for the next few days. Loved about half the album right away, and the other half could easily grow on me. This little musical niche is starting to fill out interestingly now. Red Handed Denial is similar, but more technical, proggier and a bit more -core influenced. Sordid Pink/Destiny Potato is even more proggier and experimental and even more melodic. There are a bunch of others, most of which haven't caught my ear long enough to become very familiar with them.

Really enjoy what I've heard from Spiritbox. Is it just me or does Courtney's voice in the chorus of "Hurt You" sound a little similar to Ashe O'Hara (former Tesseract, Voices from the Fuselage)? Maybe its just the vocal technique either way I like it :)
-
Huh, that didn't come to mind at all, but now that you point it out, that is interesting. Listening back and forth a bit, I hear them as fairly distinct, but since Courtney is basically an alto, and Ashe is a soft and high tenor, their range and style is much more similar than it would normally be. I really like that soothing, relaxing style they have though, it's refreshing, and contrasts nicely with the music (and in Courtney's case, her harsh vocals).
And my prediction is coming true, I've listened quite a lot to the album since my last post, although "The Summit" is probably my second favorite song. The album itself is probably in my top 5 for the year at the moment.

Pretty much agreed. Their earlier singles/EP didn't do much for me, similar to Jinjer - loved the voice but the music wasn't that interesting. But Spiritbox seem to have got on top of their songwriting and their debut LP is excellent.
-
I would at least give a listen to this one, it's as good as anything on the latest album to me.

I'm a little terrified of this Friday. A short list of things I'm aware of coming out that I have some level of interest in - Ad Infinitum, Archspire, Be'lakor, First Fragment, Grand Cadaver, Jerry Cantrell, Joe Bonamassa, Kayo Dot, Lucifer, Marissa Nadler, Mastodon, Mon Laferte, Running Wild, They Might Be Giants, Tori Amos, The War On Drugs, Whitechapel. I think it might be the busiest release day of the year. I'm going to have some serious analysis paralysis trying to decide which to check out first, and might wind up just listening to older stuff until I start hearing some buzz.
-
The War on Drugs are releasing a new album? That was not on my radar but is very much welcome.
-
Mastodon this Friday, then. I really enjoyed the previous album and the latest singles so I am excited.
Then it looks like it's only the new ABBA album left that I'm looking forward to for the rest of the year. What a strange sentence to write btw - "the new ABBA album".
-
I just listen to too much music. Lots of other intriguing releases in the couple months after that too, Emma Ruth Rundle, Diablo Swing Orchestra, Unleashed, Dave Gahan, Hypocrisy, Lock Up, We Are The Catalyst, The Tea Party, Cynic, Swallow The Sun, Obscura, Omnium Gatherum, Mo, Eucharist, Chelsea Wolfe/Converge, The Lurking Fear, and probably others I forgot to write down.
-

I've kind of run out of steam for '21 albums for a bit, so here's some quick thoughts on the ones I listened to of this week's batch.
Ad Infinitum - pretty great, one of the most exciting newer bands, symphonic metal done unusually well, "Unstoppable" is one of my favorite songs this year
Archspire - a bit too techy for me, and not enough memorability, a step down from their last one
Be'lakor - I just can't get into this sort of melodeath as much as many others seem to, but it's quite well-done and will please their fans
First Fragment - much better for tech death, many more standout parts than Archspire, but just as crazy instrumentally, with spellbinding fretless bass playing, riveting lead work and some cool flamenco flourishes
Grand Cadaver - Mikael Stanne is quite a beast, it's impressive how good he sounds at his age, and Liljekvist is playing with more fire than Katatonia would typically sustain
Joe Bonamassa - very competent, hits everything you want from modern hard blues rock, but nothing particularly outstanding if that isn't your sort of thing
Kayo Dot - surprisingly great, I haven't listened to them in many years, but this is very dreamy stuff
Lucifer - probably the best of the throwback bands of their kind, some really great tunes here, someone described them as Heart meets Black Sabbath, and that's pretty accurate, Nicke even has a few riffs which if you ran them into an HM-2 pedal would have worked for Entombed
Marissa Nadler - probably my favorite on the list, she's heading into more ethereal waters than before, quite exquisite songcraft and vocals here
Mastodon - I haven't been that crazy about most of their prior work, but this is the best I've heard them, quite a serendipitous listen with a lot of variety, Dailor to me is the star of the band still, quite impressive drumming and probably my favorite vocalist of them
Tori Amos - really good stuff, she's always been an artist I don't listen to as much as I'd like to, and maybe this will change that
-
Cheers, I didn't realise the First Fragment album was out yet :tup

Cool recap :tup I have some catching up to do with this week's releases...Mastodon first and foremost...
-
I haven't cared about Mastodon in 10 years or more, but I forgot David Botrill worked with them on this album, so I may have to check it out.
-

I have liked, but not loved Once More 'Round the Sun and Emperor of the Sand...curious to hear what they came up with on this one.
-
Oooh... I didn't realize Ad Infinitum had the full album released. Same with Joe B. Neither artists showed up in my Spotify Release Radar - though there were a shit ton of Live songs - Springsteen, Vandenberg, Chicago, Armored Saint, and Priest. None of which were terribly interesting tbh.
-
The new Ad Infinitum is excellent again, lots of really strong tunes and Melissa Bonny is just amazing.
The other one I had that doesn't seem to have been mentioned yet is the new Moron Police EP. It's very short, and it took a couple of listens but I think it's great. They write such brilliant songs.
-
The new Be'lakor is really something else. It needs to be played loud on a good pair of headphones, holy cow.

Me too. I will try to listen to that over the weekend at some point.
-
Oh wow, that Damian Wilson one wasn't even on my radar, that'll be a treat. Supposedly the new Arena album with him should be out in the near future as well, definitely looking forward to that.
There's other interesting stuff released today like Dawn of Solace, Dave Gahan, Robin Guthrie, Idles, Susanna Hoffs, L.A. Guns, They Might Be Giants, Tower, and Unleashed. I've already heard Unleashed (decent, but they've done better) and Tower (pretty good throwback heavy metal/hard rock, somewhat in the Doro vein).
Next week might be the second biggest week of the year though. Adele, Aephanemer, BT, Converge/Chelsea Wolfe, The Darkness, Eldritch, Exodus, Ross Jennings, Khemmis, Alison Krauss/Robert Plant, The Lurking Fear, Me and That Man, Obscura, Sting, Swallow The Sun, Temperance, Volumes, and Paul Wardingham.

it definitely is bruno mars and anderson .paak making an album of 70's soul, funk, and disco pastiches alright
i liked it, like every song is a 7 or 7.5 out of 10 but man is it wholly unspecial :lol
-
I thought it was fantastic. Much better than most of what passes for "pop" these days.

Finally they are getting a decent singer again. I have a hard time revisiting the last couple of albums since I can't stand the vocals, but Wilson should change that.
-
Tonight/tomorrow looks to be the last bigger release day of the year. Cynic, Hypocrisy, Lock Up, Paul Gilbert, We Are the Catalyst, The Tea Party, Rhapsody of Fire, In Mourning, Black Label Society, Deep Purple, Eternity's End, Negura Bunget, Kotzen/Smith EP, TEETH. A few scattered interesting releases throughout December, but not as much, which is good because I have a mountain of releases to give another (or a first) listen to for end-year lists.

The other album that I'm looking forward to tomorrow is Scream Maker's Bloodking.
This dude has some pipes. Hopefully this won't be my favorite song, but it sure makes me hopeful for a decent metal album.

That was a pretty damn cool song. As you say, if its the best song I'd probably pass but if not, good shit.

I am actually a big sucker for that kind of sound, so I'm an easy target anyway... ;D But, yes, "Waves" is fantastic. They have another album from all the way back in 2006 which is pretty good too (that one has a good amount of harsh vocals)

Nick, you might like this..Voodoma's Hellbound
https://open.spotify.com/album/1C20cPZyFp8Qmcm62IvyQL?si=T0G5C74SSqC0CFRkKo1GVQ
It's kind of a cross between Dawn Of Solace and Unto Others. I haven't pulled the trigger on a purchase yet, but it's a pretty cool album.

Kade, the solo on this song fucking shreds.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFK3ShfF5RU
So my first listen verdict is this. It's 15 tracks, but would make a much stronger and tighter 10 track album. It does seem to lose a bit of steam about 2/3rds in. Still I think there's a lot here you'd like. They're German, so the Schenker influence is real. Reminds me a bit of Save Yourself. Mirror Mirror is easily the most rifftastic of the bunch. A lot of these songs have an 80's arena style metal feel, which ain't a bad thing and I think you'd dig some of it.
It's definitely worth a listen.
-
I'll check it out mate.

Mirror, Mirror is really tight. :tup

This is a good slab of German gothic metal :) Very catchy. Vocals and drums are very "forward" in the production. Salems Hell has some cool Lake of Tears vibes too...

Kite Parade - The Way Home
https://kiteparade.bandcamp.com/album/the-way-home
Debut album (essentially a solo project) from multi-instrumentalist Andy Foster, but features Nick D'Virgilio on drums and was produced by Rob Aubrey (who works with Big Big Train). Very synthy prog pop from the sound of the two songs on the Bandcamp page. Just ordered the CD from Laser CD, so I'll have to report back once I get it.

Fuck yea! Astronoid are awesome. They also have a new album out in a few months. Air is them at their best for me :metal

Indeed it is. A little "darker" than the last few, relatively speaking. Have you heard any other album of theirs?

Not one! Never heard of them before your post.

I know I listened to their album Blackout a few years ago. Can't remember a great deal about it though, I'll give this a shot.

My review...
(https://i.imgflip.com/6dkuz0.jpg)

Not one! Never heard of them before your post.
Oh, you should definitely explore some more, I think there's plenty to enjoy for you...
They've been around since the mid-2000s...one of their guitar players' main band is Enslaved, but clearly the sound is different here. Their debut ("No Hay Banda") is ok, but things get seriously good after that. "Le Fol" sounds like a mix of Faith No More, some alternative rock and prog(-ish) 70s hard rock. It actually works and it's a really cool album. "Audrey Horne" continues on that path, maybe a little more direct, and has a warm, inviting sound (check out Charon, Blaze of Ashes, Bridges and Anchors for more straight rockers, and Pitch Black Mourning for something a little more elaborate).
Then, with the next album "Youngblood", they ditch most of the weirdness and embrace classic hard-rock/metal influences, somewhere around the end of the 70s and the beginning of the 80s. This might well be my favorite of theirs. The first three songs (Redemption Blues, Straight Into Your Grave and Youngblood) are gold but the whole thing is great, really. The playing is so good and there's so many catchy melodies and choruses. There's a couple of moodier rockers too that fit just right (The Open Sea, probably my favorite, and The King is Dead).
Follow-up "Pure Heavy" dials up the 70s influence a bit and is fantastic too. Out of the City is basically a Thin Lizzy tribute. The NWOBHM influences pop up in High and Dry, which is another great tune.
Lastly (before the one that just came out), there's "Blackout", which Luke mentions above - this one's a little more laid back and slicker (maybe more 80s than 70s). I don't like it quite as much, but it's still a collection of very good songs.
Anyway, give Youngblood and Pure Heavy a try...and then maybe go back to the older stuff too. These guys are pretty good.
-
My review...
(https://i.imgflip.com/6dkuz0.jpg)
:lol
I'd say the song Break Out is obviously inspired by that...I can hear a Bark at the Moon feel in the main riff for that one, no doubt.
But in general the album is more heavily influenced by NWOBHM than their most recent ones...I mean, the influence was always there for some songs, but the scale is definitely tipped that way for this record.
-
Yea totally, I made the meme whilst listening to Break Out :lol
I liked the album though. And you mentioning a member of Enslaved being in the band reminded me why I was aware of them.

I have the self-titled Audrey Horne album but have never listened to anything else by them. I’ll check out the new one.
-
Archive - Call to Arms & Angels - long..103 minutes, although I like what I have heard
Bloc Party - Alpha Games haven't heard yet. is Justin Harris on this?
The Gathering - Beautiful Distortion - good overall.
-
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Omnium Gatherum
Would be awesome to see Omnium Gatherum come out with an album called King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard later this year. ;D
-

can't deny when I read the album title I always think of the band, lol.
Doubt King Gizzard knows them, but who knows.
-
Is that even possible anymore? If you Google the term half the links are still about the band.
Two quality releases that just came out and I didn't see threads for are Tigran Hamasyan with StandArt, which is eclectic jazz, and Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway with Crooked Tree, which is progressive bluegrass and has a lot of cool guest appearances from that field.
-
I love Tigran, but StandArt isn't quite doing it for me. It's nice and the playing is superb of course, just not a style I find hugely exciting.
-
I'd have to hear it again, but I think it probably has fewer prog influences than his earlier albums, so that might explain it.
-
It's not the prog so much as the jazz-fusion and influences of his Armenian background that make his usual stuff so rich. Whereas the latest is his take on American jazz standards which is fine, but less my thing.
-
So I've got the following for today :corn
Mikael Åkerfeldt - Clark (Soundtrack from the Netflix Series), this actually came out yesterday and a lot of it could fit straight on an Opeth album.
Ibaraki - Rashomon (Black metal side project of Trivium's Matt Heafy, featuring Ihsahn and Gerrard Way)
Kikagaku Moyo - Kumoyo Island
Ufomammut - Fenice
Anything else of note today?
-
Pure Reason Revolution - Above Cirrus
One listen and it's brilliant. Doesn't rehash The Dark Third but definitely closest in style and quality to that album out of anything else they've done, some amazing stuff on here.
Halestorm - Back From the Dead
A lot of fun. Very simplistic - every song is 3-4 minutes and identical in structure (verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge/solo, quiet bit, final chorus). But it's rocking and has a ton of great hooks.

Yea it's definitely hitting the spot more than the last. Not sure if it'll top Air for me though, that album is something else.

I've been too busy with some other listening projects to get to much of anything new in the last few weeks, but I'm definitely curious about Frou Frou, Angel Olsen, and Astronoid. There's also Red Handed Denial, Origin, Tedeschi Trucks, Battlelore, Andrew Bird, Artificial Brain, Purity Ring, Tremonti, I Built the Sky, The Algorithm, and Temple of Void, so it's one of the bigger weeks so far this year.
Edit: the new Red Handed Denial is pretty awesome. They really oughta be huge. They're not too far from Periphery in their overall sound, but less wanky, catchier, and much more palatable vocally, at least for me. Lauren's harsh vocals seem to have even gone up a level on this one. Here's a sample.

The new album by The Tangent, titled Songs From The Hard Shoulder, has released today! I haven't listened to it yet, but I've also avoided all pre-release singles and material, so I'm going in fresh!
-Marc.

Some releases that I'll be checking out:
Deathwhite - Grey Everlasting (excited about this one, given how much I enjoyed their previous records. So far, it sounds ok, but it's not grabbing me as much as I'd like. Might be a grower)
Kardashev - Liminal Rite
Billy Howerdel - What Normal Was
Kreator - Hate Uber Alles
Seventh Wonder - The Testament

Haven't checked out Deathwhite, but I was never overly impressed with their other albums.
Just finished up listening to new Kardashev. I know I've checked out this band before but this was heavier than what I was expecting. It was really good on first impressions. Onto Kreator now...it's fucking KREATOR!

He's part of the problem. He just doesn't stick out to me.

Yeah...I haven't spun the last one yet, but that's how I generally feel about Seventh Wonder too...I was reading this one is a little more "concise" in terms of songwriting, so I wanted to give it a shot.

So...I got a Kardashev song in a roulette of mine and I don't remember the song or who sent it, but I remember liking it...I think. I saw they had a new album out today, so I pulled it up on Spotify at work, and the vocals were fucking harsh.
I'm going to try and give it another listen at home with my headphones.

It definitely wasn't him. I'll have to look it up.

I also got sent them in a roulette I think, either by Tomislav or Elite? I may be confusing them with another band though as the heaviness of this new release threw me (in a good way obvs).
-
Pup, it was you who sent me Kardashev- Beyond Sun And Moon.
It actually didn't do great. ;D 8th out of 12 songs.
This is what I said..
4. Kardashev - Beyond Sun And Moon
"Holy motherfucker! What in the fuck? I like it!"
Oh Boy..The first half of this song is like a two minute car accident. I liked it on first listen, but with each subsequent listen, I couldn't wait to get to the second half of the song, which was quite enjoyable.

But I did see that David Readman / Medusa finally dropped today. Been waiting for that for about a year+ since it was first announced, and the PR said sometime in 2021.
Is that something I should check out?

I dunno if it's up your alley. I'm a big fan of his voice. He's best known for Pink Cream 69 and Voodoo Circle. Melodic Rock stuff.
-
I’m at my work station so I’ll dial it up.
-
Upon first listen, it was …. Solid.

Barely solid, but it was indeed quite easy on the ears. I think the only song I thought that blew was Mary Jane.
-
New Arch Enemy and Thee Oh Sees for me today, think that's it.
-
I've got Unprocessed - Gold, and will probably check out Norma Jean - Deathrattle Sing for Me although I only really like one of their previous albums much.
-
A couple of releases I'm curious to hear today:
A-Z - A-Z
The Halo Effect - Days of the Lost
-

If it weren't for Oceans of Slumber new album I would say this is AOTY, but Starlight and Ash is just so perfect! But A-Z is a strong contender.

The new Halo Effect album is really good \m/

I was underwhelmed by it, but it seems like it has the potential to grow on later listens. Their s/t in '20 was so good it's just hard to compete.

https://youtu.be/XeQbC8OYDQA
Ok, that opening riff...holy balls! :metal
Heavier version of Dark Tranquility but I'm enjoying this album more than DT. Seems like the vocals work way better with DotL than with DT.
-
Oh nice, I forgot about the Halo Effect, I'll certainly be checking that out. I'll give the Norma Jean a spin as well as i like a few of their releases.
-
By the way
Vanden Plas - Live & Immortal was also released today. Great live stuff. Always have had a soft spot for VP. :metal

Hell yeah man! Love this one. Scarlet Flower Fields sounds kick ass. Overall amazing!!!

Just finished Days of the Lost from The Halo Effect. It's a quite solid album. Not likely to be a classic on the level of Colony or Projector for me, but there are a lot of cool moments I'll probably be returning to. The ending of "The Needless End" is actually rather ironic, because just as the song is ending it starts to get interesting. It was sounding like a spiritual successor to the instrumental break in "Zombie Inc.", and then just as it starts building it fades out. Ugh. I wish I was a producer on the album, building that into a proper bridge and then another final chorus (maybe with some kind of interesting variation) could have made it a standout track, but as of right now it's just a tease. In other songs there were a few intriguing clean vocal sections and at least one acoustic guitar passage, which are always welcome and tend to elevate albums for me.
-
Think I'll just be checking out the following tomorrow...
Russian Circles - Gnosis
Spirit Adrift - 20 Centuries Gone
Conan - Evidence of Immortality

One of my favorite bands ever! Saw them live a few times and they always crush!
-
The ones on my rotation today:
I Prevail : True Power
Spirit Adrift : 20 Centuries Gone
Parasite Inc. : Cyan Night Dreams
Russian Circles : Gnosis
Hot Chip : Freakout/Release
Soilwork : Övergivenheten
Heilung : Drif
-
The new Chili Peppers single that dropped today was quite excellent.
-
The Spirit Adrift is a tad too sludgy for me. Reminds me of Mastodon, but without the musicianship.
-
The new Chili Peppers single that dropped today was quite excellent.
Best song I've heard from them in forever.
-
Looking like a really promising day tomorrow. We've got...
Machine Head - Øf Kingdøm and Crøwn
Sigh - Shiki
Cyborg Octopus - Between the Light and Air
The Hirsch Effekt - Solitaer
Tropical Fuck Storm - Moonburn
Might - Abyss
Cautiously optimistic about the new Machine Head, based on some pretty decent singles.
Sigh will have to do a lot to top their last, as it is a trip. Another I'm pretty optimistic about though.
-
The new Esthesis album is out (FFO Porcupine Tree and Pineapple Thief)
https://youtu.be/4iv8UKHVDcM

Long Distance Calling - Eraser
Antoinio Sanchez - SHIFT (Bad Hombre, Vol. II)

Me neither! Nice surprise. Just also found out Dreadnought released a new album last week! Why the fuck did no one mention that :lol
-

Dreadnought doesn't strike me as the type of band that would be popular here, but searching does show a few results for them. "Liminal Veil" and "The Paradigm Mirror" were the standout tracks for me so far.

I have faith in the diversity of DTFers taste enough to say there's at least one fan, of any band you'd care to mention,on here.
Dreadnought definitely have a few fans on here.

Yep! I'm one. Been listening to them since someone sent a Dreadnought song in one of my roulettes. Can't remember who sent it or which roulette.
At any rate, the new album is really good.
-
Getting in early but this is what I'm going to be checking out come Friday...
Crippled Black Phoenix - Banefyre
Fallujah - Empyrean
Holy Fawn - Dimensional Bleed
Bloodbath - Survival of the Sickest
Revocation - Netherheaven
Flogging Molly - Anthem
Warforged - The Grove | Sundial
-
Revocation :metal :metal
-
Revocation :metal :metal
One of the best modern day technical thrash bands. They absolutely crush live! If these guys were around in the 80's or early 90's they would have been huge. Amazing musicians!
-
I don't know, would they have been? Tech thrash always was a niche. Voivod, Coroner, Sadus, Forbidden, Watchtower and the like never had nearly the audience the big four+ did. Nor did death/thrash like Demolition Hammer, Morbid Saint, Vader and such. Deathless in particular is a fantastic album though.
-
True but they would have at the least among those classics you named.
-
They kind of are though, aren't they? At least as far as modern bands go. Vektor had a bit more critical acclaim ( though they've probably taken a hit from that situation a few years ago) but Revocation is up there as well as far as I can tell. In addition, they have significantly more Spotify listeners than any of the bands I mentioned other than Vader.
-
Voi Vod are much bigger and before streaming. The market is so over saturated these days. If streaming is the gauge then I have no clue. I don't stream any music except for sampling to buy.
-
It's not perfect, but it can give an indication for how popular bands are currently, Particularly if you also look at things like views for songs/albums on Youtube, last.fm plays, Facebook fans, number of ratings and reviews on various aggregation sites, and other metrics.
-
I had many a conversation with Mike Romeo about streaming actually and bands don't make much at all. He pretty much feels albums get people to come to shows to sell merch etc. Video killed the radio star as streaming killed the rock star. I'm not saying Mike doesn't enjoy writing and recording albums as he very much does, I'm just saying its no secret streaming doesn't make the working band rich. If you don't tour its tough to make a living unless you have other means to earn. Its tough.
-
Yeah, but then album/CD sales never made bands rich either, other than some of the big names. Just an unfortunate reality of the music industry.

Listened to those three yesterday and firing up Woe now. I wasn't particularly wowed by any of them, but will give it a week and go back to them.

just not a fan of thrash!

Their vocals really test my limit, but musically, I love them. But I like music like that. If they could just tone this vocals down a bit....

Listening now. Really interesting. I dig it.

The new An Abstract Illusion is amazing, and such a grower. First listen I knew I liked it but wasn't sure how much - there's a lot to take in, and it's more varied and experimental than their last album. But damn if I don't love it now.

Just about to give it a second listen. Was pretty impressed by the first spin.
-
A few I'll be checking out come Friday...
Destrage - SO MUCH. too much.
The Mars Volta - The Mars Volta
Behemoth - Opvs Contra Natvram
Clutch - Sunrise on Slaughter Beach
The Murlocs - Rapscallion
Gogol Bordello - Solidaritine
The main one I'm actually looking forward to is the new Mars Volta though.
-

Revocation have become one of my favorite bands since seeing them live on the Summer Slaughter Tour in NY. These guys are FAR from "meh". :facepalm:

I'm curious about Destrage...their albums (at least what I've heard) are usually fun. Also hope for a good Clutch record.
Another one I'm looking forward to is the new Sumerlands (Dreamkiller). Their self-titled debut from 2016 was great.
-
On my friday list I've got:
Destrage (their last 2 albums were such letdowns, I'm hoping this is better)
Clutch
Mars Volta (I'm cautiously optimistic for this release)
Sumerlands
Edenbridge
Death Cab for Cutie (their last 3 albums have been pretty much useless, I'm hoping for a turnaround)
-
On my friday list I've got:
Destrage (their last 2 albums were such letdowns, I'm hoping this is better)
The one I have is Are you Kidding Me? No., which I really like. Then I think I've heard A Means to an End, and some other songs here and there...
Sumerlands
Yes! I assume you liked the debut...?
-
Can't say I'm anticipating anything tomorrow, but I'll spend tomorrow afternoon as I spend every Friday afternoon....dropping the needle on everything.
-
I'm pretty keen to check the new Magnus Karlsson project out that's out today. The singles were great.
-
Can't say I'm anticipating anything tomorrow, but I'll spend tomorrow afternoon as I spend every Friday afternoon....dropping the needle on everything.

I've been following them for a few album cycles. Really good Italian Prog/Power - right up my alley!
-
I'll check out the new Destrage and Behemoth but I don't have particularly high expectations for either.
Edit: Behemoth was pretty boring, probably won't be returning to that one. Destrage was at least okay - I need a few more listens to see if it grows on me but it has more potential than their last two which were just completely unremarkable from what I can remember.

Just going through new Behemoth now. One song has stuck out as being OK so far but I'm unlikely to revist either to be honest. Not listened to the new Destrage yet but was pretty underwhelmed by the singles.
I quite like A Means to an End but The Chosen One was really dull. We'll see if the new one any better
-
I liked Once Upon A Pale Horse, but yeah, probably not going back to the Behemoth.
-
Dropped the needle on this and ended up listening to the whole thing.

Just listened to Diabolical Majesty from their new album and it’s a fantastic song. Will definitely listen to the full album. It will be my first Revocation album.

Chaos of Forms is probably my favourite of theirs but it's more melodeath rather than tech death. Either way, great band
-
I'll be checking out new Stratovarius tomorrow and that's it! Really quiet week. Anything else worth looking at?
-
The ones I'm most curious about are Frayle, Nils Frahm, and Editors.
-
I'll be checking out new Stratovarius tomorrow and that's it! Really quiet week. Anything else worth looking at?
Both electronic albums, but these two will probably be good:
death's dynamic shroud - Darklife
The Comet Is Coming - Hyper-Dimensional Expansion Beam
-
Ooh, interesting! I got into dds earlier this year. Gud vaporwave vibes
-
Ooh, interesting! I got into dds earlier this year. Gud vaporwave vibes
Are you a part of their mixtape club? I loved their May album Transcendence Bot enough that I had to sign up for it. Getting their entire discography + all new releases for $7 a month is a complete steal.
-
Just Nils Frahm for me tomorrow, but both Null and Weezer dropped new albums today (presumably for the autumn equinox) that I need to check out.
Tim, I imagine you'll be checking the Null album out too?
-
Tim, I imagine you'll be checking the Null album out too?
Yes I did!!! I actually got an email from them or Bandcamp this morning so I pulled up on Spotify. I think I only heard the first couple of songs before being distracted at work. I’ll hit it with headphones tonight.
-
Kings Of Mercia today and let me say it's a whole bucket of Fuck Yes! Impressive :metal
-
I'll be checking out new Stratovarius tomorrow and that's it! Really quiet week. Anything else worth looking at?
Other than Stratovarius I also picked up:
Null - Origin
Kathaaria - To be Shunned by All... as Centres of Pestilence
I'm also planning on picking up Comedy of Errors - Time Machine, but now I'm starting to wonder if it was delayed, since I can't find it anywhere.
-
I did check out the previous Null album as Tim was pimping it pretty hard last year. At nearly 2 hours though, it was a chore to get through to be honest, and didn't exactly get me excited to hear the new one. Might give it a shot though. It's not that long again is it?

79 minutes - fits onto one disc at least! :lol
-
death's dynamic shroud was the only new release this week i cared about even a little bit (never listened to them before this one tbh) and even then i wouldn't say i -loved- it but, it was neat
doesn't seem like there's a ton of particularly interesting stuff coming out until taylor swift's album next month :lol

I've only listened to it twice but I'm not sure how I feel about it, honestly. :lol It's very all over the place and I expected the hooks to be a bit stronger, but it's a lot to take in so it could definitely grow on me. This album from earlier this year is a must-listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8GfpIsM9To
I liked the new The Comet Is Coming as well, felt a bit more energetic and punchier than their previous stuff.
-
Frayle's Skin & Sorrow was great, as I hoped. The sugary vocals won't be for everyone, but I love their brand of super-heavy atmospheric doom.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66ynO42zuoc (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66ynO42zuoc)
I didn't realize Morphide's Anhedonia just came out a few weeks ago. They've been steadily releasing it via singles and videos for awhile now, but a few more tracks came out and the whole thing is up. I don't know if they have the clout to blow up like Spiritbox did, but I love the One-era TesseracT vibe.

Checking out new Björk and Autopsy tomorrow I reckon.
-
Ver much looking forward to this one tomorrow:

Darkest Era - Wither on the Vine
Their previous album, Severance, came out in 2014 (although I only discovered it a couple of years ago) and it's fantastic. They are from Ireland and they play, I don't know, some pretty epic metal that's both classic and slightly "blackened" (at times), all with clean vocals. Hope this doesn't disappoint.
-
Nick, that looks awesome. Do you know of they have the same singer on the new one?

-
Checking out new Björk tomorrow.
For sure.
Just finished it. It's exactly what you'd expect, which is completely fine with me. The 90s/early 00s album are still untouchable, but she's still consistently excellent. It's going to take a few listens to sink in though.
-
Friday's looking good. My day is going to be dominated by the new King Gizz, but I'll check the others too.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava
Lamb of God - Omens
A. A. Williams - As the Moon Rests
Aenaon - Mnemosyne
-
A.A. Williams is definitely what I'm most looking forward to, but there's also Queensryche, Blind Illusion, Faceless Burial, and Cloud Rat as potentials.
-
Yep, very curious about the new Queensryche...
And also looking forward to the new Faceless Burial. Speciation was a fantastic slab of death metal.
-
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3412759998_10.jpg)

On my list I have new albums from:
Teramaze
Aara (although it's just an EP)
Illyria (I hope this is at least as good as their last album)
Glass Hammer
Major Parkinson
De Profundis
The Cult
Aenaon
Queensrÿche (if the album cover is anything to go on, it's going to sound like the Space Rock version of Empire ;) )
-
Oops, forgot Teramaze. It was even on my list, and I skimmed right over it I guess.
-
I've got a whole bunch of stuff tomorrow:
Borealis - Illusions
Broken Bells - Into the Blue
Illyria - Take Me Somewhere Beautiful
Maraton - Unseen Color
Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space
A.A. Williams - As the Moon Rests
-
The couple of songs from the Borealis have been pretty good.
-
Three songs in on the new Borealis. :2metal:
-
Illyria (I hope this is at least as good as their last album)
Not. Even. Close.
-
1/2 way thru QR/Digital Noise Alliance. Better than their last release. Pretty much what you'd want/expect out of post-Tate QR. :tup
Next up, Teramaze.
-
Three songs in on the new Borealis. :2metal:
Great stuff from one listen. Nothing new or different, they're just really good at what they do.

A.A. Williams is definitely one of the best albums this year, I'm glad to see she has a bit of a following here, which will hopefully grow.
Queensryche and Teramaze are quite solid, though the former doesn't have as many initial standout tracks as Todd's solo album did.

Teramaze was really nice on the ears. Very similar to their last couple of albums in style and production. Me likely plenty.

Illyria (I hope this is at least as good as their last album)
Not. Even. Close.
it's certainly not as interesting yeah but i liked it fine enough
-
Parius - The Signal Heard Throughout Space
I came across this a couple of days ago and wanted to check if anyone had mentioned it here on the forum...sure enough, you did! ;D
Very cool record. I had checked out their previous album, The Eldritch Realm, found it quite interesting, but didn't really go back to it. This is a bit of a different beast, though. Dropped most of the harsh vocals, and went full-blown prog concept.

Three songs in on the new Borealis. :2metal:
Man, I drifted in and out throughout this whole thing. I guess it's Borealis by numbers but we've just heard this all before.

Yea fair shout, you also dig that sweet punk rock sound.
Yea it wasn't bad. Nothing groundbreaking but I'll give it another go this week.

Anyone check out the new Skid Row?

Anyone check out the new Skid Row?
One listen so far. I really like it and the last album of theirs I liked was Slave To The Grind.

There's a lot to chew on this week....which is going to have to wait until I get back from vacation...
New albums from these artists today:
Sedna
Poppy
Sparta
Brian Eno
Red Hot Chili Peppers (I'm not expecting much from this)
Cavernous Gate
Nothing More
Alter Bridge

I put it on while I was working and think there were 2 stand out songs that made me look and flag as like, but nothing that was mind blowing. But it does sound like standard TFP lol

I've got absolutely nothing for tomorrow.

New Architects and Arena albums, although the latter doesn't seem to be available for streaming or even download yet, and I'm not paying £20 for an album I've not yet heard.

Digging the new Architects a lot.
Crooked Royals also released a new album...Quarter Life Daydream. I'm also liking what I'm hearing with these guys. I believe they were signed to Periphery's record label, 3DOT recordings.

Wow, this is VERY good! Vintage-sounding classic hard rock, with some shades of doom...Abundant hammond organ, great bass, captivating vocals and super-cool songs...who are these guys (and one lady)?? :)
-
One of today's releases I was looking forward to:
(https://distortedsoundmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Death-Where-Is-Your-Sting-Avatarium.jpg)
One listen in, it didn't disappoint. Jennie-Ann Smith is such a wonderful singer.
-
Came here to post this, glad to see some other Avatarium fans!
Yeah, the band is great but Jennie-Ann is the true added valor, a fantastic singer. The title track and Stockholm are my favorites so far. Avatarium are such a unique band in the doom genre (and the definition is definitively too narrow for them), every album has some killer songs to offer.

Yes, the first album was the one with the strongest Candlemass influence (still great, btw), but then they started branching out...nothing too dramatic, but definitely adding different "spices" to the doom template. And I agree on the songs - the title track, especially, is wonderful.
-
I’ll be checking out the new Avatarium as well. I only recently discovered them and have been enjoying the debut album a great deal.

Some standout tracks from the other records (IMO of course) in case you want to sample more but you don't have time to listen to full albums:
Girl with the Raven Mask
The January Sea
Pearls and Coffin
Into the Fire / Into the Storm
The Starless Sleep
The Fire I Long For
Also, they made an absolutely great cover version of Eurhytmics' "Here Comes the Rain Again", basically turning it into an Avatarium song. Excellent adaptation!

Thanks, MirrorMask. I fully intend to check out the rest of their catalogue and I will start with Girl With the Raven Mask.
I listened to the new release yesterday and enjoyed it, even though it is missing the Leif Edling doomy riffs.
-
Today's a damn good one! I've got the following...
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Changes
Psychonaut - Violate Consensus Reality
Dr. Acula - Dr. Acula
Worm - Bluenothing
Polyphia - Remember That You Will Die
-
Just Psychonaut and Andrew Bayer for me.
-
I think it will literally just be the new Devin Townsend for me tomorrow. Anything else?
-
I've got:
Actor|Observer - Songs for the Newly Reclusive
Disillusion - Ayam
Devin Townsend - Lightwork
-
I’m up for the Disillusion.
-
I haven't been in the mood much for brand new releases lately, but there's other stuff. Disillusion, Pretty Reckless, Minuit Machine, First-Aid Kit, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Saturnus, Antimatter?, Angela Hewitt, Voivod, Muriel Grossman. Dunno which I'll get to and when, or if.
-
Antimatter?
Not sure when this is coming out. Not seen anything other than "November".

Voivod have another album out? It's not long since their last is it? I might check out First Aid Kit as well actually :tup
-
It's an EP. There was an album back in February. I'm obligated to listen to First-Aid Kit since they kept me from sweeping a pool of rounds. :P I already was intrigued by them before though, and one of those songs was outstanding, so I'm not too bitter.

Don't know how many here are into him, but tomorrow there's a new album out from The White Buffalo, Year of the Dark Horse.
If you know him just casually, you probably know him from the soundtrack of Sons of Anarchy.

I'm not in disagreement with you ;)
https://theprogmind.com/get-to-know-us/
"The PROG Mind was started to explore the lyrical side of progressive music. While this is primarily a site about progressive music, I like to cover any music that I enjoy or that I consider ambitious and artistic. You will therefore see everything from rock and metal to electronica and pop to deeper subgenres like blackgaze, doom, folk, or even film and video game scores. Basically, I review and support what I like."
-
"My favorite bands include: Riverside, Evergrey, Anathema, Kamelot, ISON, Draconian, Pendragon, Votum, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Dead Can Dance, Pain of Salvation, and many more."
Huh, I kinda like this guy. A bit of a theme of the idea of the studio as being another instrument with a lot of these. Which is very much present in everything Heike does. For some reason there's not a ton of crossover with prog fans and everything descending from Dead Can Dance, so it's cool to find more.

I'm not always in agreement with his reviews, but I have to admit that I have discovered a lot of bands because of him.
Heike reminds me so much of Aleah Stanbridge (RIP)

I Am Whole by Glaston released a few days ago.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Glaston (probably most of you), this band is a post-rock band from Switzerland and it's my favorite post-rock band.
They use a lot of piano in their music which is something I love. Their melodies are great; nostalgic but yet also energic. For those of you who know Maybeshewill, they play in the same field.
Anyway, their new album I Am Whole looks pretty good. As of this day, my favorite of them is their first one (Sailing Stormy Waters; especially the last track). It's my favorite post-rock album. I still hope they can beat it some day.

Here's today's list:
Antimatter - A Profusion of Thought
Röyksopp - Profound Mysteries III

I only got to my Release Radar playlist today, and incredibly, a song from this was on it and just started playing about 30 seconds before I came into this thread. Will be checking this out - I still have 9 albums from 2022 in my backlog to listen to.

Tomorrow is shaping up to be a really good one!

Neptunian Maximalism - Finis Gloriae Mundi
Jamie Lenman - The Atheist

Thy Catafalque - Live at Fekete Zaj

Shaam Larein
This sounded quite intriguing, at least based on one, cursory listen. Litho, this seems right in your wheelhouse. Did you end up checking it out?
-
I hadn't yet, but I just put it on a bit ago. It is quite fantastic, and will definitely be somewhere on my year-end list. It seems more fully realized than I remember the previous one being.
-
By the way, Litho, I have posted about this Italian band, Deathless Legacy, in the ...Listening thread. Released last Friday too. Very different genre, but female-fronted also. I have a feeling you might enjoy it. A little cheesy at times, but it sounds pretty good.
-
Deathless Legacy Saturnalia was most excellent!
-
Deathless Legacy Saturnia was most excellent!
I haven't checked that out yet. As I mentioned in the other thread, I didn't even know the band existed! This last album is very good, I'll be exploring the back catalog too...

It’s Saturnalia, my mistake. It’s one long track.

In the first few tracks it felt kind of generic, but it seems to keep getting better as it goes along. I don't know if the later tracks are stronger or I'm just getting used to their sound, but I'm quite liking it now. I enjoy bands that dabble with orchestral and symphonic elements, but don't always make them so prominent, having more timbral variety. The vocals are a bit different as well, a tad like Magali Luyten, and the guitars are heavier than a lot of similar bands, so I'll probably be revisiting it and checking other albums out.

Ad Infinitum with a new single, Somewhere Better. https://open.spotify.com/track/0GyV45JIZhjYxDqMEDc3vz?si=6fbc2c2f7bc74497
-
It's taking a few plays to get used to them, and I still don't like them as much as most of the first couple albums, but it's cool how prolific they've been. The new tune a couple months ago was virtually an Amaranthe track, an interesting direction for them. I guess since leaving Rage of Light she's wanting to bring that flavor into Ad Infinitum.

What we got today peeps? I've only got the new Obituary at the moment.
Out today! :metal
Leper Colony is the new death metal band involving Marc Grewe (ex-Morgoth, Insidious Disease) and Rogga Johansson (Paganizer, Revolting) and they've done their best to ensure that the music has all the undiluted appeal of the classic albums of Death, Massacre, Morgoth and the like. This is an absolute riff-fest, with every song adding a different dimension of that classic sound which is imbued with that irresistible thrash fervour. Rogga Johansson may have written his most diverse album and on his part, Marc Grewe has given a spirited performance with a lot of variation in this delivery. Both of them have made sure that despite being rooted in the old school sound, the music here is entertaining enough to not only satiate the nostalgic audience but also find appeal among the newer death metal listeners. This is an interesting take on the style that's more than just imitation and it doesn't hurt that it's incredibly catchy while being structured at the same time. Fans of thrashy, pulsating, old school death metal shouldn't pass up on this under any circumstances.
For fans of: Death, Morgoth, Asphyx, Pestilence, Slayer, Massacre, Cancer

Grá - Lycaon
Here's our review: https://lotsofmuzik.com/sparing-no-brutality-gra-progresses-with-lycaon-review-by-bernard-romero/
-
Leper Colony sounds interesting. I generally prefer Rogga when he does more Swedish-styled death metal, but sometimes his other projects are good as well.
Ahab, Beyond the Black, Man Or Astro-Man?, Mansion.
Nice, I know I've checked out at least one Ahab album, so will give that a go. Well, I'll sample all of these to be fair.
Dunno if either Beyond The Black or Mansion would be your sort of thing. But Man Or Astro-Man definitely could be. Their more recent material isn't as good, but the 90s albums are great surf punk. Almost thought of sending them or a similar band at some point in your roulette, but I don't know the albums quite well enough to pick a song without relistening to everything, and I had other higher priority entries to work on.
-
That Leper Colony album rules! It's right up there with the 2 Inhuman Condition albums for really good modern Death/Massacre worship.
-
came out on Thursday 1/12

-
Beyond the Black is about as genetic as it comes - that's not to say it's bad, it's just there are so many symphonic power pop bands out there doing pretty much the same thing, and this doesn't really stand out from the pack.
-
I liked it, but it's definitely not essential listening, especially if you're not a fan of that sort of music. If you're curious check out "Winter Is Coming" and "Free Me", those were the two tracks that popped the most.
-
I still go back to their first album now and then, but they've failed to put out anything I find interesting since then.
-
New KATATONIA came out today, I've been listening to it since a month ago, and man, it only gets better after each spin.

Slade is awesome. Just good time easy on the ears party rock n roll.
Uriah Heep has been remarkably consistent for the last 20 years, really ever since singer Bernie Shaw joined the band. Just classic rock to hard rock. Not like Saxon or anything like that. Uriah Heep also features the Hammond organ so there's that aspect to their sound a s well. Real comfort rock.

I pre-ordered a vinyl copy - but was notified it's held up in customs. The band then has given out a link to stream the album to those that pre-ordered.
It's really goood! :metal
Le Grande Voyage was great, but Meanwhile hits much harder. It's way more intense and visceral in many spots on the album. It's also recorded and produced really well. It sounds huge. I can't wait for my physical copy.

Just In Flames for me this week. Bit of a quiet patch at the moment.

Insomnium - Anno 1696
Steel Panther - On the Prowl
Hypno5e - Sheol
Omega Infinity - The Anticurrent
-
Yes to Insomnium and Hypno5e.
Also a Kauan remake of some kind, Algiers, and - surprisingly - Hundred Reasons!
EDIT: Also it's not a Friday release, but it seems the new Lovebites album came out today!
-
Definitely excited about Insomnium...
I believe the album from Host (the project by Holmes/Mackintosh from Paradise Lost) is coming out tomorrow too. Very curious to hear...
-
A band called Obey Robots released their full length debut, One In A Thousand on Friday. Recently came across them on Twitter randomly and gave them a follow. Not sure how much I like the album, but I think some people here might be into it. Kind of a bit like Coheed and Cambria (or my impression of them) with a female singer.
This was the video that caught my attention on Twitter:

that description sounds like the late Minnesota-based Prog band RisingSide.

I could be way off (not that familiar with C&C), but there’s sort of a punk meets metal style with really up front drums that I have in mind.

2 huge releases tomorrow, Haken and Enslaved. Also gonna check out new albums by Stoned Jesus and Entheos. The Stoned Jesus singles haven't really done anything for me, but I'll check out the album.

Entheos is great but it has some new styles and Chaney sings a little more. Saw them live before Covid and they crushed. Still a great album nonetheless.
-
Very much looking forward to Enslaved and Haken as well, of course. In fact, I haven't even listened to the last couple Haken singles, as I want to keep the new album experience as fresh as possible.
Another record I am very curious about is Majesties - Vast Reaches Unclaimed. It's a US band/project by members of Obsequiae and Inexorum (which, by the way, I don't know much about ;)) that's been hyped up over the last few weeks as a true love letter to the Gothenburg sound of the 90s. Pretty stellar reviews all over...I've seen some Jester Race and early Dark Tranquillity mentions, plus other cool namedrops like Eucharist, Gardenian etc...I tend to be a little suspicious in cases like these but, hey, we will see.

I was pleasantly surprised by the recent Periphery singles, so looking forward to Periphery V.
Also, I've only just realised there is a new Manchester Orchestra album out this week, so I'll get on that. I may sample the new Rival Sons if I get the urge.

Listening to Ice Age now. So far, so good.

Not all of it would interest you I don't think, but I'm curious about Elysion, Emiliani Torrini, Foretoken, Invent Animate, Julian Lage, M83, Moon Boots, Narnia, Phantom Elite, Ralph Towner, and Sacrificium.

Forgot about the Narnia, those dudes are still hanging in there. The Phantom Elite to me is a total let down, Titanium set there bar real high and this doesn't touch it, but that's just my take.

Charly Shred and ReinXeed were cool Malmsteen-esque albums but I thought Golden Erection was a goof. Did you like the Emir Hot album Sevdah Metal?
-
Never heard it.
-
Redemption and RPWL for me tomorrow.
-
Never heard it.
I just looked, I might be confusing Signum Regis and Golden Erection. That label had a bunch of bands with the same members but different band names. Liljegren. I'll revisit them, I'm curious now. You like PelleK?
-
For Friday releases today, I've already picked up:
Fluisteraars - De Kronieken van het Verdwenen Kasteel I: Harslo (unfortunately just a 2 song EP, hopefully a full album is on the way)
Pressure Points - The Island
Downfall of Gaia - Silhouettes of Disgust
M83 - Fantasy
Kamelot - The Awakening (might actually be their best album since Black Halo)
RPWL - Crime Scene
Redemption - I Am the Storm (not really sure why I bother with this band anymore....)
Invent Animate - Heavener (some incredible Post-Hardcore/Metalcore with some Djenty stuff mixed in, a massive improvement to their already pretty good previous album)
Overall great day for music releases!

Marianas Rest and Floor Jansen for me.
Really enjoyed the last Marianas Rest, so I'm curious about this one...
Speaking of gloomy death/doom, a couple more releases to check out tomorrow:
Shores of Null
Hanging Garden
-
Also tomorrow
Keep of Kalessin - Katharsis (first album in 8 years, hopefully better than their last 2 albums)
August Burns Red - Death Below
Liturgy - 93696 (although I'm not expecting much after the crap-fest that was Origin of the Alimonies, although it seems every other album they do is good, so...)
Depeche Mode - Memento Mori (not really sure what to expect from this, they haven't had a good album since Playing the Angel)
-

I just stumbled across these guys on Youtube for the first time the other night. I was impressed and will have to look into them some more.

A lot of these releases are posted in that thread. I see the stickied thread as being the release calander for albums that are more broadly listened to by DTFers.
This thread is for everything else, and for those who check out multiple new releases every week. I think if everything that went in here went on the main release calendar it would be a bit overwhelming. Like a few of the bands in my last post are punk rock bands, which generally won't be of interest to most people.
-
Yeah, I almost never look in the new release thread. I'm not really in the loop on release dates as they're announced, I just have a handful of sites I check and update my own personal list in batches every few weeks. And at least half of those are artists that no more than a handful of people here at most would be interested in anyway.
-
Wow, I'm blown away by Project 86's latest album! Check it out on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/6jRBECFBQg1Z6OMySbowDg
The album, OMNI Pt1, is an intense listening experience that seamlessly weaves together elements of metalcore, deathcore, and djent. I highly recommend listening to the entire album, and keep an eye out for the upcoming release of Pt2.

Downfall of Gaia - Silhouettes of Disgust
Their last one got quite a few spins over here and lots of positive reviews. Let's see what this one brings.
Gave the new Ne Obliviscaris two spins over the weekend and I'm really liking it. The blastbeats are less promiment in the mix with more focus on the guitars and bass that really shine on this one. Album as a whole sounds more diverse compared to any of the first three albums. Seems worth waiting over five years.

Overkill - Scorched
Atreyu - The Hope of a Spark
I'll check these out as well.

Looking forward to the new Archon Angel album this Friday too \m/

Thought the new Ad Infinitum was quite weak personally, big downgrade on Chapter 2. The huge catchy choruses and the melodies just aren't as strong.
-
I've enjoyed it—the new Ad Infinitum I mean—but it's not grabbed me as strongly as the first two chapters.

Hüsker Dü - Tonite Longhorn

After the first listen, this album really blew me away. This is pretty much the Melodic Death Metal album I've always wanted to hear. This first listen really feels like perfection. I'll see how this grows on me but I hope I'll still be blown away after a few listens.
FFO: Insomnium, Wintersun, Countless Skies

I'll definitely check it out. Based on the combination of your tastes, the "FFO" in your post, and TAC liking it but finding it a little slow, it sounds right up my street.

I wanted to buy the new The National album on CD today but the store didn’t have it. The album is heading towards a sub-3.00 rating already on RYM but I don’t care as they’re one of my favorite bands.

Yeah this is where I am after one listen. Definitely a solid album and a nice sound, but not wowed by it so far. I think it's partly that I tend to like (and sometimes adore) how the slower, doomier style works when the music is melancholic and/or epic, but I'm not sure it works quite so well here where the music is more upbeat and, for want of a better word, pretty. Found myself wanting it to get either more energetic or more emotive. But I'll return to it for sure to see if it grows on me.
-

Yea, May is looking pretty tasty, definitely looking forward to those two!
-
I absolutely love Sleep Token, their two last albums were golden.
Although I have a bad feeling for the next one, I've only heard a few sample once but it didn't look like the same level as the two previous albums... Maybe I just havent payed enough attention.
Regarding Fires in the Distance, on my side, it does grow on me even if my first listen set the bar really high. I especially love how they incorporate the piano parts in the music. I've listen to the album about 5 time and enjoyed every single of those listen.

Second listen and I may be coming round to your view. As is so often the case, once I have some idea of what to expect from that first listen, I can recalibrate my expectations on what I might enjoy about it. It reminds me a little of some of Kauan's stuff, if a little more riff-driven.

I should listen to Kauan again then. Never really got into their music.

Yeah I probably wouldn’t have bothered if she hadn’t been involved. But The Gates of Time is a great original song.
-
Definitely a loaded day this Friday...
Ghost - Phantomime
The Ocean - Holocene
Thee Oh Sees - Live at Levitation (2012)
Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden
The Murlocs - Calm Ya Farm
-
The Ocean and Sleep Token for sure, and I'll check out that Ghost EP although I'm not generally super into covers albums.
Also Mystery snuck out a new album today - ON A WEDNESDAY WTF - which sounded very solid from a first listen.

I simply do not understand what people see in Ghost.

You calling? :biggrin:
I think they are absolutely brilliant - and even more so with their more recent 2-3 full length albums, where they fully embraced the "pop" side of their sound. We were talking about this on the other thread with Luke a few days ago. To me, their songwriting is fantastic and they have such great talent for arrangements and doing what's right for the song. It seems to me Tobias Forge is someone that genuinely loves the classics (metal and rock) and it shows...but the stuff doesn't sound contrived at all. I mean, sure, there are homages scattered around, but the craft that goes in the songs is undeniable (well, for me :))
Note that I didn't mention anything about the whole Ghost lore...I do think it's fun, but honestly I couldn't care less if they had that or not. In fact, sometimes I think whatever they gain in more "mainstream" exposure from being a more theatrical band, they probably also lose a bit as there might be a perception they are not "serious" (not saying that's the case for you...just talking from my own experience talking to friends)
What is it that you don't like about them? They just leave you cold? Or do you actively dislike them?

So when they opened for Iron Maiden on TBOS tour, I familiarized myself with their set. I actually liked the songs and I thought the band was awesome, both in playing and in personality. The BAND really sold me with their performance. I was not a fan of the singer's banter between songs. It was a real turnoff.
I did buy the live album they made after that tour and have only listened to it once.
I don't know. Everytime a new song is released and posted, I check it out, but I just find them largely underwhelming.
Nick, I'll put this to you...can you recommend an album to me? I can't promise I'll follow up but I will try. And no, that's not an open invitation for everyone to flood me with recs. :lol
-

My favorite album of theirs might be Meliora, and it's quite well represented on the live album, along with the first two records (Meliora is their third). So, maybe try that one out.
Although, really, it's hard NOT to recommend their last two (Prequelle and Impera). Like I said, a little more easy-listening and "lighter" on the sound (not that the previous records were monstrously heavy...), but absolutely killer.
Who knows, maybe you'll be hooked and you'll go for the rest too ;)

All great release mentioned there. I’m really excited for ST and Mystery. Listened once to both albums and I’ll will need a few more spin before I can mention any comments. Long albums that will need time to incorporate.

I've just got the new album by The Dirty Nil this Friday :corn
-
Just The Intersphere for me, which is fine - more time for my roulette.

Keen to hear the new Immortal album. The couple of songs released are excellent.
Interested in what Metal Church dish up also with their new one.

I checked it out, and it's exactly what you would expect from them, which as a huge fan of them is exactly what I want. As always, their songs can be a bit subtle at first, so I'm not expecting to completely adore it until half a dozen listens in, but I can't imagine it not being high up on my end of the year list.

Yeah, you're the third person I was referring to, in case Nick was confused. :) I really like the new album, though it doesn't bowl me away quite as much as the prior one did. I imagine it'll grow even with each listen as the hooks dig in as well. Did you get a chance to check out their prior work yet, or the rest of the previous album? Definitely check out out II: Sojourn at least too, it's not quite in the league of III: Pentecost, but they were definitely on an upward ascent to me.

Generally agree with this. Really enjoying the new album, not sure it'll reach the same heights as III: Pentecost, but great stuff.
By the way, Litho, you should check out "Voyage" by Tanith...one of my favorites in 2023 so far. It's more (proto-)metal than Wytch Hazel, for sure, and there's a bit more going on with the songwriting, but I think the bands share a certain "warmth" in their approach and sound. Tanith, too, has delicious guitars, plus great dual (female/male) vocals.
-
It's much more rare for early metal or retro-styled metal to hit for me (Wytch Hazel is one of those exceptions), but it sounds interesting, so I'll definitely have to check it out sometime.
-
I'm gonna pretend I didn't just read that. :lol

Hyped for new Scar Symmetry tomorrow. I’ll check out Refocus by Cynic as well as the new East of the Wall. Anyone got anything else decent lined up?

Well thanks to Crow I'm interested in all three of those now.
I think 100 years from now I still won't be over Christian no longer being in SS. Part of me continues to wish they just started a new project with a different name, but I guess it's not fair to the other band members and fans who want to see the older material live still.
There's also Rise To Fall, Envy of None, Slipknot, False Memories, The Arcane Order, Godflesh.

Never heard of them. I'm on it!

They can get VERY doomy, and are sometimes a bit over the top with the spoken word and such. But they are very good at what they do (been around for a long time, despite the relatively sparse output)
The song "The Calling", from their last album, moves along at a relatively brisker pace and it's a tasty one.
Oh, and the album was produced by Fleming Rasmussen!

Just finishing the title track of the new album. Yeah, it's pretty slow, and those vocals may prove a bit too deep for me. Sounds cool though. I'll stick with a few more songs. Er.. It's all pretty slow.

Pyramaze- Bloodlines. June 23. (In case Chad missed it) :lol
I didn't :lol
Man, this thing is CATCHY! :) The last thing I'd heard from them was Disciples of the Sun, which I enjoyed greatly. Bloodlines seems a little more straightforward melodic metal, but I'm not complaining.
-
straightforward melodic metal
I'm never sure what people mean by "melodic metal". It gets used for power metal, hair metal, melodic death metal, symphonic metal, etc.
-

I'm never sure what people mean by "melodic metal". It gets used for power metal, hair metal, melodic death metal, symphonic metal, etc.
Yeah, you are not wrong there ;) I purposefully left as generic as possible...I mean, it's all clean vocals, with keys very prominent in the mix, pop-like hooks in the choruses, and mostly mid-paced (i.e. not much of the helicopter double-bass you hear in Euro power metal)
I'd say the previous records I'd heard were more in a power-prog vein...never too complex anyway...but this one leans more into the straightforward, melodic side of things. Very enjoyable stuff.

It just always prompts further questions in a conversation. There's not really a whole lot of metal that isn't melodic to some degree. An umbrella like "extreme metal" at least indicates a significant amount of harsh vocals and aggression over normal, but it could be death, could be black, maybe grindcore, possibly some doom or thrash, etc. The "melodic" tag just gets used so strangely though, like Metal-Archives lists Sonata Arctica as "power metal", but Jani Liimatainen as "melodic power metal". As if SA isn't melodic?

BT is the name he releases music under, it's his initials. Electronic music. Like rom said, not really in your wheelhouse. :lol

Ok. I will ignore all references to BT from here on out. :lol

Yeah, it's closer to "Buddy's Thing". :)

Yeah, but my sig.. :lol

I dunno, A Song Across Wires was alright but Tomahawk was the only real standout from it (still a banger), and I had to turn These Hopeful Machines off after like three songs. :lol

Definitely excited about the new Voyager. I kinda lost track of how many songs they’ve released from it already, and that’s ok…I’m going in relatively blind.
-
Yeah, it's closer to "Buddy's Thing". :)

His stuff is all so different. I'm not a fan of all of it but there's a lot I like and some I really love so I'll always check out everything he releases.

I'm on my first listen now and it's definitely from his more delicate and ambient side than the poppy/trancey/dubstep side that Buddy has heard.
Sounding really lovely so far. Great production and sound design as always.

Ageless Summoning - Corrupting the Entempled Plane
Lots of Tucker era Morbid Angel sludgy influence, and that's my favorite era of that band. Really digging this album after a couple of listens.
-
Zilch this week. Everything comes out next week.
-
There's like, a new album by Blur today, but that's all that's on my list.

Checked this out yesterday, I was about to mention it in the ...Listening thread. Good stuff, I enjoyed it. A little more traditionally "melodic death metal" than Insomnium but, yes, it has those melancholic vibes for sure. Love the guitar work on it!
-
I plan on checking out the new Aetherian album.
The vocals were just over the line too harsh for me.

Damn that is stunning artwork IMO this genre has become the go-to for killer artwork. Unfortunately however I can't get much out of the constant growling. I like it enhancing or being subbed for cleans more often such as personal fave Paradise Lost. But otherwise the music is spectacular the cover art beautiful so bit annoyed I couldn't really get more out of it tbh.

Let's see, I picked up today....
Blur - The Ballad of Darren
Voivod - Morgöth Tales

Well I was looking forward to the new Closure in Moscow today but looks like it’s been delayed, AGAIN, this time until October.
So I’ve just got the new Mutoid Man today now. Anything else?
-
The new Mutoid Man sounded pretty good on first listen!
-
Came here to say new Sevendust was out today, then saw a new thread was made. I agree, it's just ok.
Sevendust - Truth Killer
Also:
Arch Echo - Final Pitch
is out today too. I've seen this band with Dream Theater and Haken. Great band! Also - at Haken, I happened to stand next to the lead guitarist's mom/dad and probably extended family. That was cool.
-
The new Mutoid Man sounded pretty good on first listen!
I saw this this morning and gave it a little listen. I made it into the third song (which had a wicked tone BTW. I's not really for me. It wasn't bad at all, actually, just not what I'm into.

I didn't make it that far.
-
Totally fair they are not quite what you're into, Tim.
I had enjoyed their first album, then slept on War Moans (their second)...which I recently checked out, before this new one was released.
I still have to determine how much I like them, but there's something about their sound and songs that tickles me, in a similar way (although in a different context) as, say, Biffy Clyro...i.e. catchy tunes but with the right amount of twists and turns, not just weird for the sake of being weird, and with interesting detours from the template they (seemingly) have set up.
Luke: Absolutely YES to the Unborn riff!
Also, speaking of War Moans - Bandages is such a good closer (with Chelsea Wolfe on backing vocals!)
-
Yeah it's good stuff for sure, and I bet they'd be awesome live.
-
Mayer Hawthorne - The Pool (Single)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QU1P1c-3zRI
-
Also, speaking of War Moans - Bandages is such a good closer (with Chelsea Wolfe on backing vocals!)
Huh, somehow I don't think I knew about this one, but it makes sense, after the '16 Converge show at Roadburn. A lot of Brodsky's stuff isn't really in my wheelhouse, but this is kind of interesting, and she is on at least "Wreck and Survive" as well, with a briefly more prominent role.
-
One of my favourite bands Kyros just put out a new single last Friday that I've really been enjoying. I'd describe their sound as being along the lines of 80s-era Rush and Genesis with some more contemporary influences like Haken and Voyager thrown in for good measure.

Mammoth WVH’s second album released tomorrow…
Enjoyed the first one, curious to hear this.
-
I’ll be checking out the new Skindred and that’s it tomorrow.
-
I've got the new Toehider EP, new Devin Townsend Live album, and a new album from An Autumn for Crippled Children.
-
The new album from Urne - A Feast on Sorrow, should be interesting too
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a0263199429_10.jpg)
There seems to be some good "chatter" around it...first album was pretty cool, so I'll be checking this out...
EDIT: Turns out this is being released next Friday, 8/11
-
Oh cool, I’ll have some other stuff to check out after all :tup
-
Edward Reekers (of Ayreon live fame) has a new release today.
I also see an EP from Induction I plan to check out.
-
Mammoth WVH’s second album released tomorrow…

It's similar to the first, but punchier, with more solos and a bit heavier. I think it's better.

Toehider - XII in XII #01 - "Quit Forever?" [EP]
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a4033729666_10.jpg)
also Tangled Thoughts of Leaving - Oscillating Forest
although this band terribly jumped the shark for me after their 1st album, and got obsessed with making droney noise rock instead of the cool jazzy Post Rock their debut album and 1st EP had.

Well, this did come out today, so I checked it out...
There seems to be a fair amount of hype around the album (the debut was indeed quite interesting). After one listen I found a good number of interesting/cool moments, but I wasn't entirely sold. I wish they didn't use so much of that shouty/throaty vocal style. I will likely revisit, though, as it might be a grower...

Spirit Adrift - Ghost at the Gallows
Skálmöld - Ydalir

Musically, it's very good. But Richard is not a terribly appealing vocalist for me. I doubt I'll be coming back to this one. Plus, it's pretty short - 41 minutes.

Tomorrow brings a TAC Major Release..
The new Alice Cooper!
Also looking forward to giving the new UDO a spin.

Tomorrow has some good stuff
The Cat Empire - Where the Angels Fall
Blut aus Nord - Disharmonium Nahab
Our Broken Garden - Blind
Exmortus - Necrophony
I'm also going to give the new Alice Cooper album a spin, but I'm not expecting much from it. Honestly, I only really know the hits from Alice Cooper and need to do a deep dive on his discography at some point.

If you ever do that, I'd happily help you out. I've considered doing a Discography thread, but he has a lot of albums.
The new album, after three prereleased songs, sounds very similar to his last two albums. They're all produced by Bob Ezrin. Musically, there's not a lot to offer. They're pretty much basic rock n roll songs. He's an extremely talented lyricist and vocalist. I said vocalist, not singer. He has a great sneering style, adaptable to many geographical accents and voice characterizations. That's where I really get my enjoyment from his most recent albums. I mean, there are a bunch of great songs, but his style of music would be considered quite basic for these parts.

The Cat Empire - Where the Angels Fall
I'm interested to hear it after quite a big line up change last year, wondering if it also means a shift in their sound.

You should probably more strongly consider it. I'd certainly follow along. I still look forward to whenever you compile that playlist.

I have an 18 song 70's playlist made. He has a number of eras, and I feel like they need to be presented as such. Along with a bit of a narrative. Let's get through your roulette first.

I'm interested to hear it after quite a big line up change last year, wondering if it also means a shift in their sound.
Update: digging the album a lot! Missing Harry's unique vocals a little, but they weren't that strong/prominent on the last couple of albums, which also were a little weaker as albums anyway. But even though it's all Felix on vocals now, the music is a great return to form, so much groove and energy.
-
This actually was released last Friday, but I just got my CD in the mail today. I'm only two tracks in, but I am loving the sound here. Massive drum and synth sound, kind of 80s Genesis-ish but more rocky. The debut album last year was good too (if a bit long).

there was a new soft machine yesterday! the OG canterbury band

"Other Doors" came out on June 30th actually.

Was smashing the new Vandenberg and Spirit Adrift albums this weekend and gotta say am super impressed with both!
While a departure from their heyday sound, Vandenberg is perfect modern Melrock Mats Leven on vocals was a great choice and Ghost At The Gallow may well be Spirit Adrift's best album yet! And with that cover art think it will prove to be a perfect LP purchase \m/
-
I'm pretty excited for Soen's new album this Friday. The quality of their releases has constantly been uprising in my point of view, Imperial being their best. I hope this stays the same with their new album.

Tommy Taylor (Eric Johnson, Christopher Cross) released a solo album called Across the Stars today. I had forgotten all about it, but I was listening to Christopher Cross's self titled album this morning and it reminded me that I heard one of the promo tracks from this about a year ago and wondered if the album came out yet. Turns out it came out today, so I downloaded it. Pretty nice singer/songwriter type of album. Don't expect people here to be too interested in it, but I thought I'd give it a shout.
-

New Mercenary out today! They haven't put out an album in 10 years.
Fuck yeah... I knew this has been coming - didn't they put out a Kickstarter or some crowd-funding back in 2020? I just didn't know the release date!
Tim... no listening, you got some of this coming in a few weeks.
Interesting, I'd think they'd have way too many harsh vocals for you, and tuned way too low and modern for Tim. :lol I don't like the last couple nearly as much as the 00s albums, but I'll definitely be checking it out anyway.

I just googled it and it looks like they crowdfunded the studio rental costs so they could record the album in 2022.
I prefer the 2000's albums as well with Mikkel Sandager, but this new one is pretty good. There are some great riffs buried throughout the album. If only Kral would get off his ass and record the Firesoul album he used to blabber about. Supposedly he was reuniting with Mikkel in a new Mercenary-esque band, but nothing has happened in the last 10-12 years.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I just don't think it's happening at this point, and even if it does, I doubt Mikkel has as much high range anymore. 11 Dreams was just about the best dual vocal attack in metal though.

they're a folk/psych/pop-y band from Australia, they are on the label that KGLW came up on (Flightless) so that is likely how/why the resident gizzheads know them lol

New Bear Ghost is fantastic. Basically more of the same but considering they've not put out that much music so far and the last album was amazing that's perfectly fine with me!
New Subsignal is great too.

TAC, don’t forget to check out the new Cannibal Corpse, I knew you’re a big fan now.

-
New Subsignal is great too.
Yep, enjoyed it too. It definitely sounds like a Subsignal album, so no big surprises (except maybe the country-ish sounding solo at the end of The Art of Giving In...?). But that's no bad thing. I like how it sounds too, more so than the last couple of records.

Yeah, the new album is almost entirely Melodic Death Metal.
-
Wow, RYM seems to think they've dropped the metalcore elements and released the best album since The Hours That Remain. I'll have to squeeze that in somewhere, I'm way behind on new releases now.

I wasn’t able to get to this yesterday, so spinning right now. Totally fine with it being more of the same as yes, Blasterpiece was great. I’m always Necromancin’ Dancin’!
-
So Mercenary's Soundtrack For the End Times is definitely a good album, though on first listen I'm not hearing why people apparently think it's much better than the previous two, and even better than Architect of Lies. Rene still does an admirable job in vocal variety covering multiple roles since Kral and Mikkel left, but he's no Christian Alvestam.

Quite a lot. Of course, to listen to any of them I'll need to stop listening to Bear Ghost on repeat, which will be a challenge.
-
listening to Bear Ghost now...this is a step up from what I remember of their 1st album, esp the mixing of the cymbals.
It does sound like if 22 were doing a jazzy and theatrical style of music (kind of like Thank You Scientist I suppose).
surprised there isn't more buzz about this band though, they're pretty popular among The Dear Hunter fans especially.
edit: I take part of this back. The cymbals still clip really badly on some of the tracks.
Unfortunately, I also just learned about some drama involving the band and a member leaving back in 2019 that kind of leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth despite the music on this album being pretty cool.
They do at times sound an awful lot like 22 though, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, however this band drama may negate that anyway to me potentially (separating art from artist, etc of course).

This is a band I've really come to love over the last year or two. My first impression of this is that the harsh vocals have a bit of a more guttural quality to them, and I don't care for that. But I'll give it another go. The music, as always, is lush as hell.

Damn I’m into my first listen and this sounds simply amazing. I love the mix of harsh music and piano (it reminds me of fires in the distance in that way). I’m surprised you don’t find this “too slow”. Anyway, I hope this grows to be as good as my first impression of the album.

Nice balance of lighter and heavy moments. Really like the singer too. No growls detected so far despite the cover being done by the same guy who does Opeth and a bunch of other metal acts.

Wow, three tracks in and this is sounding REAL nice! Didn't know this band at all.
EDIT: Yep, listened to the whole thing and it's great. Bright melodies all over, very well produced and the performances are top notch. It's all very fluid, and yet the songs have interesting twists and turns. Good stuff, thanks for the rec! :tup

I’d never heard of them either. If Randy McStine hadn’t shared the clip of his solo yesterday I’d have probably never come across it. Quite a pleasant surprise. Rare that I find a heavier album that I like these days.

Nice, didn't know Stortregn was so soon. What a great band.

First listen of the new Stortregn, and my reaction is basically the same as when Kade first introduced me to them in one of my roulettes, the entire write-up for which was:

Yep, it's been on my list. I'll hopefully get to it tonight. Their first was amazing. They should draw in some Thy Catafalque fans since Martina has been on some of their recent albums. Their general sound is quite different, but they have some quite experimental elements at times as well. I'm not too big on stoner metal, but their debut took that sort of guitar sound and recontextualized it in a much more palatable way for me.

Listened once, and it sounded very good. I don’t know if I’d put them in the stoner genre to start with…the debut was, um, weird doom, maybe? ;) some occasional industrial influence sprinkled here and there too. I didn’t hear much of that in the new one, but it wasn’t a very focused listen. I know there were a couple of screams in there, though :)
-
Oh no, that was my point, they're not a stoner band, it's just that on their debut the guitar tone was the sort of sound you'd hear from a stoner band.
-
Ah, got it, yes…I agree
-
And that mainly comes from the guitarist Jason Köhnen being part of stoner bands like Celestial Season and Bong-Ra.
-
Yes, Celestial Season! Big fan of their Solar Lovers album...it had a cool cover of Ultravox's Vienna too. They were mostly death/doom then and they drifted into a more 70s/stoner direction soon after, but their recent comeback albums do rediscover some of that earlier style. Interestingly, Jason Köhnen played drums on those early albums...I think now he plays a little bit of everything.
-
I can't remember if Nachtmerrie listened to TALITBV's debut, but it should be right in his wheelhouse as well with the ethereal doom sound, particularly since the stoner element seems to be something he's more into than I am.
Just finished it. On first listen I prefer the debut, but will obviously need more plays to let it settle in. It has a more psychedelic feel this time around, the atmosphere is more often created with rotary speaker effects on the clean guitars. There was some of that on the first album too, just less from memory. I don't recall as much experimentation either this time, like some of the crazy more avant-garde-ish moments on the debut.
-
In the vein of "different" doom, another release from last Friday I wasn't fully aware of until, well, it happened:
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/0033046071_10.jpg)
Vanishing Kids - Miracle of Death
Their previous album, Heavy Dreamer, was very good, and this one could be even better. Ethereal, dreamy female vocals (not your typical vocals, though) and a shoegazey atmosphere, but not afraid of heavier guitars. The opener, "Spill the Dark" is a good sample for their sound. Excellent song.
Overall, just the right length for an album like this. And the closer is another highlight for sure.
-
Hmm, sounds intriguing.
Stortregn's is pretty good. Been meaning to finally check out a full album from them, and it's definitely more on the melodic side of tech death that I like.
Sulphur Aeon's is incredible, definitely a strong candidate for the upper tier of my year-end list. A bit less heavy and more melodic than past releases, which is fine with me.
-
Got a few for Friday...
Blink-182 - One More Time...
Myrkur - Spine
Lalu - The Fish Who Wanted to be King
-
The big one for me this Friday is the new Rolling Stones album - their first one in 18 years. I've been a fan since I was a kid (over 30 years now).
-
Am quite excited for the new Lynch Mob out this Friday, the two singles so far suggesting Lynch may have gone back to something more in line with their heyday. These two songs give me throw backs to their 92 SelfTitled which is more than fine with me.
-
Within Temptation - Bleed Out comes out this friday. I like the band, but haven't followed the album release cycle at all. I do plan on checking it out though.
-
They haven't released an album I've really liked in a dozen years, but I'm sure they can still come up with a good song or two.
-
I liked Hydra quite a bit, but yeah The Unforgiving is where it's at.
Resist was fairly weak, bar a couple of songs. Interested to hear what the new one is like!

YES! I have recently concluded The Unforgiving is my favorite Within Temptation. I mean, I love their early stuff and Hydra is one I always enjoy too but The Unforgiving is just one great song after another. It's incredibly catchy but with massive replay value. Every melody hits hard and Sharon is practically perfect on it.
Also agree that Resist was a pretty significant letdown. Some of the newer stuff I've heard sounded mildly promising, so I'm curious too...

I'll also check out the Within Temptation release... but everyone's right - Unforgiving is where it's at. Hydra was pretty good, but the last one did virtually nothing for me (I'm not even sure if I checked it out ... so maybe I'm being judgmental :lol)

Good to hear. I actually realized I have listened to some of these songs, as they trickled them out slowly over the last year. I even recorded Don't Pray for Me when they played here literally a year ago. I'll check out the album for sure, my expectations just aren't high.
-
My favorite is The Heart of Everything. Hard to gauge between The Unforgiving and Enter/The Dance because they're so different, but those are the next two.
"Don't Pray For Me" was fantastic, but the other singles from the new album so far had left me unenthused.
-
Wish I could agree with Ben_Jamin, but first listen wasn't super...
There were a few things that caught my attention (the welcome change in pace a la In the Middle of the Night of Worth Dying For, for example), but a lot of it was just "there". It wasn't a fully dedicated listen, though, so here's hoping further listens will change my opinion :biggrin:

-

If you like pretty, atmospheric synthpop you should listen to Midnight Tangerine by death's dynamic shroud, which just went up on streaming today!
-
Not sure how popular on here they may be, but AJR has a new album today too

They have two other albums they put up today if you want more. :neverusethis: They're more experimental and instrumental, though. But I would highly recommend Transcendence Bot - it's a very melodic, massive-sounding album with some more industrial elements.

The whole thing is fantastic, certainly a worthy addition to contenders for higher up on my year end list. Definitely one of my favorite newer bands. Meaty production, blistering intensity yet still extremely melodic, good solos, dashes of acoustic guitar, orchestration, guest vocals from Therese Thompson and Jens Ryden, it just about has it all.

O Rly? I wouldn't have expected that...what did you not like?
-
It was just a wall of noise. They released a 2 song EP earlier this year and that seemed to have a bit more breathing room.
I don't know, maybe it opens up in the second half, but someone would have to let me know.
I don't love everything in that style, and in fact, I dislike more than I like, but every now and then it hits the spot.
-
Yeah, actually it's not a style I go for either, these days...not generally, at least. I didn't even really know their previous output. But, as Litho said, this one seems to have quite a bit going for it...fury, melody and, yes, some variety within and across the songs. Really enjoyed on first pass. Let's see if it sticks.
-
For me they're definitely not a one-hit-wonder since they're not all that far off of a lot of the melodeath I like, just more blast beats and goblin-y vocals leaning them more towards black metal.
-
I'll be checking out the new...Dissona EP.
Yeah I have Dissona...
Just finished this. 3-song EPs are almost more of teasers, but this one was solid, hopefully it's a prelude to a full album in the near future.
I don't know if it's just me, but their vocalist continues to remind me of a baritone version of Lingua Ignota, which is weird, because I don't really care for her vocals and like his.

Loving the new Sky Empire.

I'll check it out. The last one sounded so much like Dream Theater in spots.
Oh, I see JSS is on vocals. Probably will have to wait until tomorrow night.
-

MJ Lenderman And The Wind
Yes! Wouldn't have expected any fans here. Listening to this one right now.
-
Eldritch - "Innervoid " this Friday. New vocalist sounds great on the singles they released.
Big fan of early Eldritch albums...some Italian pride there ;) (interestingly, the band originally was from around the same area I lived in for over 10 years). I thought they were always quite original, combining prog metal with some technical thrash influences. Their first three albums are so good, El Nino in particular might be my favorite. Can't say I followed them as closely in recent years.

I got Portrait Of The Abyss Within when it came out, but I never followed up with them after that.

They sound much better now imo. The new singer takes them to a new level.
-
I own El Nino. Couldn't tell you a thing about it. Brent then sent me the song Before I Die in a roulette years ago. That's a great song I still spin from time to time. Maybe I'll find that El Nino CD.

Do it, it’s worth it :)
I mean, I’m sure there’s some 90s nostalgia associated to it, but it’s a great album…
-
I'll go and find it tomorrow and give it a spin.
-
Don't know if it's the time of year, but I've got absolutely nothing for tomorrow.

Same, nada this week.

Burden of Grief and the Crimson Moonlight EP are the two that might potentially interest people. Then there's DEADLIFE, Lawrence English, Leather Strip, and Weeping Silence, which would have more limited appeal.
-
I gotta come clean... the album Dolly Parton dropped 11/17 is really good.
-
On the wind down for the year now. Just got a few for Friday...
Minor Threat - Out of Step Outtakes
Plini - Mirage
Unprocessed - ...and Everything in Between
-
the last big release week of the year
Codeseven - Go Let It In
Peter Gabriel - i/o
Giant Sky - Giant Sky II
-

Peter Gabriel - i/o
So this is actually coming out, for real? :biggrin:
-
Unprocessed - ...and Everything in Between
When Crow originally had an EP round in the last roulette, I had an Unprocessed song (Dinner) to lead it off.

I dunno, I got an email from Amazon saying it's not getting here until Saturday now. I'm suspicious!

The new Giant Sky album just dropped today, and I've started giving it a spin. So far, it's shaping up to be really promising. Gotta say, they've got big shoes to fill since their debut album was a total fave of mine in 2021.

Randy McStine - Unintentional
https://rmcstine.bandcamp.com/album/unintentional
Pretty cool stuff that is a mix of instrumentals and vocal pieces with just Randy and Marco Minnemann. Very loose, live, jam type feel (though obviously not recorded like that since it's just the two of them). Very much a 70s type guitar album. Has a great overall sound (mixed by Rich Mouser).
-
Unprocessed - ...and Everything in Between
When Crow originally had an EP round in the last roulette, I had an Unprocessed song (Dinner) to lead it off.
Just on the first track of my first listen to the new album, and is it just me or is the production absolutely horrible?
-
Another new one I'm checking out now. A band/project called Harp. Very atmospheric, kind of proggy, kind of 80s British indy-pop/new wave. Kind of like The Cure meets Camel or something.

Well, I did listen to it, so it exists :biggrin: I ordered the 2-CD edition (I didn't go for the version with the blu-ray...I'll stream the immersive, in-side mix, if I need to :)). I had maybe listened to one of the tracks before release, so I went in blind. First impression from streaming was pretty great, and his voice sounds wonderful.

I hear you, but I have to admit, hearing it right now..this might be even better.
I never gave in and spent the $22+ extra in shipping to get the debut on vinyl, but I decided to bite the bullet and buy it today. It is a bandcamp friday at least.

Inculter - Morbid Origins
Their previous one, Fatal Visions (from 2019), was a great slab of old-school thrash (slightly death-ened) with early Sepultura and Slayer influences. The one song I've heard from the new one sounds promising.

(https://metalitalia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/therion-leviathan-III-2023.jpeg)
The Leviathan trilogy comes to an end with Therion, pioneers of symphonic metal, releasing Leviathan III. Three albums worth of material divided over the course of three releases. First Leviathan was all the "hit" songs (after years of experimentation, they decided to do an album that sounded like their classic stuff), the second album was a bit more moody and melanchonic, and this is the experimental one, with "anything goes" songs.
A good trilogy of albums to introduce new fans and to re-estabilish the band that went on a studio album hiatus after 2010 to work, among other things, on a rock opera released in 2018, Beloved Antichrist (a triple album!).
-
Did anyone have anything decent to kick off the year on Friday?
-
nothing on my end :/
-
I actually did listen to a surprisingly good platter of death metal that came out yesterday
At The Plates - Omnivore
I didn’t use “platter” randomly, as all the songs appear to be food-themed ;) I mean, the band’s name should give a hint. Not only that, but the song titles are seemingly plays on existing death metal songs’ titles (Punish My Waistline, Terminal Filet Disease, Roastwell 47 and others…)
Anyway…lyrically it’s clearly a bit gimmicky, but it’s really quite good. A bit Death, a bit Carcass…kinda technical but not too much.
-
That reminds me of a sillier take on what these guys were doing, who are quite good.

Nick, I sampled this yesterday. Musicwise, it was good, but then the rest...was ridicuous. :lol
I logged it on my 2024 sheet. but I don't think I Saved a single release yesterday.

Royal Republic came out with a new tune. It's not too late to become aware of them.

Just checked this out. It is pretty solid and enjoyable. Just like with Cannabis Corpse, it's gimmicky, but there are some really good riffs and songs.
Punish My Waistline :lol

Think I'm only looking to check out these two on Friday...
Green Day - Saviors
Slift - Ilion

so pumped for the slift

so pumped for the slift
Yea, the two songs I've heard so far are pretty damn tasty.

it seems heavier and less spacey/out there. but yeah the released songs so far have all been pretty rad

A few more that apparently released today...
Toehider - Children of the Sun 3 (EP)
Omar Rodríguez-López - Is it the Clouds?

A few more that apparently released today...

Full title:
Children of the Sun 3: A Collection of Cartoon Theme Songs from an Alternate Timeline in Which All Cartoons Are Duck-Themed
:lol
Looks like this is the January release and it seems like a pretty weird one. I'll give it a listen of course, but not expecting very much from it.
-
All I have for tomorrow is Malist - Of Scorched Earth
-
Shit, didn't realise the new Saxon was out already today!
-
The Toehider was expectedly weird, not one of his best. :lol
Green Day was a solid return to form, no surprises but all good stuff.
Nemophila (not technically a Friday release but came out this week) seems really good as expected.
Just got the new Glass Beach left to check out.
-
The Toehider was expectedly weird, not one of his best. :lol
Green Day was a solid return to form, no surprises but all good stuff.
I agree with both statements. Main thought on Green Day was "Hol' up, this isn't shit!". Definitely a pleasant surprise after the abomination that was their last album.
Currently on the new Slift, which is OK but feels REALLY long and I'm kinda losing interest. Just got the new Omar Rodríguez-López to check out after.
-
New Saxon today!!! :metal

Shit, didn't realise the new Saxon was out already today!

My early AOTY leader in the clubhouse. Put up a review a few weeks ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uqePUJevng&t=1s)
-
I know this isn't quite to the tastes of most that post in this thread, but Girish and the Chronicles (old-school hard/glam rock) released another album today, after just having dropped one last year.
it kicks ass
-
I've already got my Friday haul.
Picked up...
Olhava - Sacrifice
Madder Mortem - Old Eyes, New Heart
Caligula's Horse - Charcoal Grace
Manticora - Mycelium
Cognizance - Phantazein
-
Lucifer V, the fifth album (you don't say?) from the namesake retro doom occult band, Lucifer.
-
Looking forward to the new Madder Mortem this Friday!
Definitely.
Cool. Got a couple of their albums in my Spotify Library.
On the last track. It's a good album, but it's a bit dense and they've never been one for strong hooks. Honestly, while I've heard most of their albums, they're still in my "like but don't fully love" category. Might just be a matter of piling up the listens for things to stand out.

I listened to the first song, Saved it, and moved on.

Wow, this was outstanding. I could see it being my favorite of theirs after a few plays.
-
Manticora - Mycelium
Just finished this one. It's remarkable how consistent they are.

One listen in and I liked it too, but it'll require more listens (that's typically the case with them anyway). Some things stood out right away, others are their "typical untypical" stuff, if that makes any sense. They don't sound like much else, really, but at the same time they do have an approach they tend to stick to
My feeling towards them is not too different from yours, overall...ok, maybe a little closer to "love" ;) I always greatly enjoy their records, I like how unique they are, and they tick a lot of boxes. Not full-blown "wow", though.

Never checked them out, actually. Maybe it's time!
-
Manticora - Mycelium
Just finished this one. It's remarkable how consistent they are.
To me, they've always been the Danish version of Angra, but perhaps even more consistent......Actually I'll take it a step farther and say they've been even better at evolving and progressing their sound over the years while still maintaining that prog/power metal sound I love.

Hmm, Angra isn't a comparison I would think of, but I'm not super familiar with their discography. Manticora to me is more like Blind Guardian mixed with Nevermore. I guess it's that thrash element that jingle doesn't respond to as well that I didn't realize until too late.
-
A couple more AOTY contenders this week (hopefully)...
Persefone - Lingua Ignota: Part I
Vennart - Forgiveness & The Grain
-
New Persefone EP is fantastic.
Completely forgot the new Kyros album was coming out today. On my first listen and digging it so far.
-
crazy day:
-Kyros
-Vennart
-Persefone
-The Warning - S!CK (new song)
-
Listening to this:
MEANSTREAK - Blood Moon EP :hefdaddy
The EP is sonically perfect, and a banger!
-
Completely forgot the new Kyros album was coming out today. On my first listen and digging it so far.
I've seen you and others mention this. Having no idea who they are, I figured I'd check it out.
Big mistake. :lol

I've only got two albums this week, but I'm really pumped for three Ihsahn record...
Me too! I haven't listened to any of the released tracks, so I'm going in 100% "fresh".

Yes to Ihsahn.
I also have Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound to Fall.

New Laura Jane Grace album today!!! I didn't even know it was coming. Also, new single from Pearl Jam. Also didn't know they were putting out an album this year.

Didn’t know about the new Pearl Jam stuff either. The new song is pretty good, though it might fall in the category of “do I really need more of this?” for me.

Bela Fleck - Rhapsody in Blue
(https://cdn11.bigcommerce.com/s-rdecee92oy/images/stencil/1280x1280/products/47669/6096774/1belalp88403__28250.1704793438.jpg?c=2)
https://open.spotify.com/album/73qsYL8E216T9bZm3nYbGG
Been spinning this for a few days now and I *love* it. "Rhapsody In Blue" is one of my favorite pieces ever and hearing Bela put his touch on it, and in three versions no less, is quite the treat! The only thing I don't like about this album is the track order, so I've shuffled the songs around a bit to space out the versions of RIB and end with the epic, full orchestra version:
1. Rhapsody In Blue(grass)
2. Rialto Ripples
3. Rhapsody In Blue(s)
4. Unidentified Piece For Banjo
5. Rhapsody In Blue (feat. Eric Jacobsen & Virginia Symphony Orchestra)
It also flows better, IMO, and much more like a vinyl with two evenly spaced 22-minute sides (with the break between tracks 3 and 4). Bela has expertly celebrated the 100th anniversary of Gerswhin's masterpiece and I cannot wait to get my physical CD. I don't really get vinyl much either but I might end up ordering the blue vinyl from his website because it looks really nice.

I really like the Blues version especially..MUCH different than the traditional versions I've heard.
-
I also have Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound to Fall.
I had this on at work today. man, those vocals are fucking harsh, and just too much after a while. Still, the cleans were fine and this album is loaded with great music.

Finally got most of my Friday releases. Lots of black metal this week.
Ihsahn - Ihsahn (Progressive Black Metal)
Griffon - De Republica (Melodic Black Metal)
Darkspace - Darkspace -II (Atmospheric Black Metal) (First Darkspace album in 10 years)
Farsot - Life Promised Death (Grungy Black Metal?)
Steve Hackett - The Circus and the Nightwhale (Symphonic Prog)
-
Listening to the new Ihsahn. Nutty album 5 tracks in. I also listened to the orchestral version before realizing it wasn't the "real" album :lol
-
I also have Eternal Storm - A Giant Bound to Fall.

Gave it one listen yesterday. I was fairly impressed but it will need some digesting. Musically, it's definitely more "proggy" and expansive than their debut. Yeah, the vocals can be pretty harsh, but I've heard worse ;)
-
Yeah all three of my releases this week were good. Toehider was an instant hit. Eternal Storm was strong immediately but had taken a couple more listens to sink in. The Ihsahn I was unconvinced by initially - felt a little too "incidental film score played by a symphonic black metal band" - but it's growing on me a lot.
-
Just realized this will be released on Friday:
Counting Hours - The Wishing Tomb
Their debut from 2020 (The Will) is great, and highly recommended to fans of Rapture (a couple of members of that defunct band are here), earlier Katatonia, Dawn of Solace and similar melancholic-sounding bands. Pretty excited about it, let's hope it delivers.
-
Two releases I'm pretty excited about this week:
Borknagar - Fall
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of the Last Human Being
-
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of the Last Human Being
This one's good. I helped Kickstart it and we got digital copies early so I've been listening to it for about a week now. Very weird, as one would expect from them. :lol It's prooobably their second best, behind Of Natural History? I definitely like it better than In Glorious Times.

Wow, I just listened to the two singles and started on their previous album, and I'm impressed. I can definitely hear the Katatonia. They remind me of Daylight Dies more than anything so far, actually. That'll be a must hear in a few days.
-
Got the same as some of you guys, plus a few more...
Job for a Cowboy - Moon Healer
Borknagar - Fall
Triton Project - Messenger's Quest
Austrian Death Machine - Quad Brutal
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of the Last Human Being

Yep, can hear Daylight Dies too, for sure. BTW, Litho, do you know Rapture? They only released three albums, from 1999 to 2005, but they are all very, very good. The first is the most influenced by early Katatonia (and might be my favorite), the other two have more clean vocals too. Recommended if you haven't heard them.

Yeah, I've heard them. I don't know them as well as I'd like to though, so this inspired me to run back through all three of them.
-
Got my Friday releases!
Borknagar - Fall
What did you think of it?
A killer return to form for me, played it 6 time already (CD on full hifi set up, FLAC files in car and on headphones) sounds amazing.
Best Borknagar album since URD for me, specially Vortex vocals, the singing and growls are perfect.
Plus lots of variety, epic songs and some great melodies.
I was worried with the three songs released prior to the album, that it wouldn't be aggressive enough, but it ceratinly is :metal

They were one of those bands that someone said, "you like some odd stuff, try this", and I was also like, "WTF", but also, "there's an edge to that..." that kept me going back. That song was No Reptiles and over time they've unfolded to be my favourite current band. Amazing lyrics and unique vocal approach.

It wasn't a fast ascendancy to the top, I have to say. Phrases of verses jumped out then got me reading about the lyrics, that then got me thinking more, etc. It's all subjective, right?

I have a couple more to add...in my queue...
Early Moods - A Sinner's Past (very curious about this one. The debut was a great combo of classic NWOBHM and 70s doom)
Grey Skies Fallen - Molded by Broken Hands (apparently, a veteran NY band I'd never heard about. First few songs sounded very promising, the kind of gothic/doom/death I have a soft spot for)
-
I have a couple more to add...in my queue...

I have the last Grey Skies Fallen in my Spotify Library. It's not bad, but it's way to mid tempo for me.
Not familiar with Early Moods. Will check out.

Singles today/this week
Dirty Loops - Run Away
Pepe Deluxe - Everybody Is / Sweet Baby Sun
The Warning - Hell You Call a Dream / Qué Más Quieres
Looking forward to these.
All 3 were excellent!
-
Turbulence- Binary Dream.
Oooh, I really like (and own) Frontal. Didn’t know they had a new one coming out! Aaand in the queue it goes…
Not familiar with Early Moods. Will check out.
First impression is they amped up the 70s doom component in the mix. Haven’t finished it yet. I’m liking it so far, although it wouldn’t hurt for the riffs to be a tad more “inventive”.
EDIT: the second half of Unhinged Spirit! DAT bass! Good stuff…
-
Everything Everything - Mountainhead
I saw this mentioned a few times here, so I sampled it. WTF? This is not for me.
I just sampled a song. I think Chad lasted longer with most my roulette songs than I did with this.

We need a "days since TAC jumpscared by electronica" counter. :lol

I mean, when you're picky about genre, would you not do a quick google of an artist first? :lol

I'm curious what you think. Post your thoughts when you do please?
-
It's possible I'm the biggest LoB fanboi here, so I'm very much looking forward to it. Their output has been top notch, if uninspired/samey over the past couple of releases. Still very good stuff in my ears though.

I have quite a few albums I'm picking up tomorrow.
Elephants of Scotland - Brains!

Will do! I'm a new fan after being sent them in my roulette last year, so checked out all the albums together. The last two were pretty good but I didn't find them nearly as strong as the two before.

Just gave the new Vltimas album, Epic a listen. This is the project with Flo from Cryptopsy, David Vincent from Morbid Angel, and Blasphemer, former guitarist in Mayhem.
I thought the first album was pretty decent, but one listen into Epic, and I am liking this one a good bit more. Lots of interesting dissonant guitar riffs, and I've always loved Flo's drumming.

Released this Friday:
Kalandra - The State of the World (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HH4rbzwrTIc)
I know I'm one of the only guys who's posting about this band around here but I can't help it, I think they're fantastic. The message of this song in particular strikes so close to my heart I feel I should share it.
-
Can't listen until later, what style is it?
-
Can't listen until later, what style is it?
I'd say it's scandinavian folk rock. Think acoustic, with strings, female-fronted.
-
I like that, acoustic with strings is a lovely combination.

That is a fantastic song. Added it to my 2024 mix.

Yeah... very nice. It's got an Anneke Van Giersbergen vibe to it - vocally and musically.

That one's quite nice, I didn't have it on my release list, so I'll have to get to it soon.
-
It appears that for some reason it only supports one layer of quotation unless you stack them manually. Are the admins aware of this bug?

Can't seem to find any information about an album release date in a couple minutes of skimming. Evermind, do you know any more on this?
-
I noticed the same thing about quoting...
Based on the Bandcamp page, there have been a couple of single releases, but not obvious there is an album coming
https://kalandra.bandcamp.com/
Incidentally, the song Bardaginn is something too...

I watched a couple of interviews where they said they were working on it, but they've been pretty tight-lipped about it.

Pleasantly surprised by the new Sum 41 album. Both the pop punk half and the heavier alt-rock/post-hardcore style half are really good. Wasn't particularly minded to bother with it, having not been interested in anything since Chuck, but saw some buzz so decided to check it out and I'm glad I did.
The new While She Sleeps, on the other hand, is fairly disappointing. I don't mind the poppy infusions they have and I've liked their last few just fine, but this one just feels very weak in the songwriting.

I agree dude. I too have been completely uninterested in anything after Chuck, but the new one is solid. It's a little long at 20 songs, but the highs are up there with some of their best songs.
-
20 tracks but it's still only 55 minutes, quite a few are short and there's an interlude or two. I don't find it overly long at all really.
-
It's not that it's too long, there are just a few songs I'm not too into. Imo, if they were dropped it would bring the overall quality of the album up, that's what I meant.
I'm still happy overall with it, as I had zero expectations.

Forgive me since I am still getting used to checking out new music again, I don't see the sleepmakeswaves album on Spotify yet. Do they release albums at a certain time?
Yea, I'm not sure if it's been pushed back. Usually the albums will be available at midnight in your time zone, but occasionally albums don't appear until up to 6 hours later or something. It's very unusual for the album not to be on Spotify this late on a Friday, so I'm not sure if it has released today, officially.
-
Thanks dude!

Thanks for the heads up!

Only three this week, but I have high hopes for Exist and Eidola...
Greyhaven - Stereo Grief
Exist - Hijacking the Zeitgeist
Eidola - Eviscerate

Eidola yes, and also Bend Sinister - Mostly Great Things.

Týr - Battle Ballads
Northlane - Mirror's Edge
Sleepmakeswaves - It's Here, But I Have No Names for It
-
yep Bend Sinister's record Mostly Great Things finally drops on Friday.
I've tried not to wear out so many of the singles, but it does feel a little less like a new album given 8 of the 12 songs were already released as singles.
-
I don't really listen to singles, so thankfully for me it is an entirely new album!
-
Today I'll be checking out the new Mark Knopfler album. I grew up listening to Dire Straits (thanks, dad!) but oddly enough I've never looked into Mark's solo stuff.

Today I'll be checking out the new Mark Knopfler album. I grew up listening to Dire Straits (thanks, dad!) but oddly enough I've never looked into Mark's solo stuff.
I’m slowly becoming a Dire Straits fan. Curious to know what Knopfler’s solo stuff is like by comparison.
-
sleepmakeswaves - It's Here, But I have No Names For It
Disasterpiece - Standstill (haven't listened to them in over a decade but let's check it out)
-
Disasterpiece - Standstill (haven't listened to them in over a decade but let's check it out)
Disasterpeace is just one guy, but the It Follows score is absolutely incredible. Nothing else I've heard from him compares though.
-
Oh right, and he makes a lot of video game music IIRC.
-
I’m slowly becoming a Dire Straits fan. Curious to know what Knopfler’s solo stuff is like by comparison.
Knopfler solo is much more relaxed and mellow than Dire Straits. I really like his stuff and he's a top 5 guitar player for me, but sometimes I wish he would rock a little more.
-
yeah the new exist was really dull, i'm not all that surprised tho bcuz they've been getting slightly less interesting with each subsequent album - didn't think Egoista was all that remarkable either so
on the other hand, here's some proggy blackgaze i really enjoyed
(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a4287961132_10.jpg)

(https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a3925169802_16.jpg)
Haven't listened yet, but their debut was one of my surprises for 2021, so I'm excited about this.

I dunno, I quite liked Egoista.
This Icosandria album is pretty damn good. I can definitely hear the Deafheaven influence.
-
Disasterpiece was not good after 4 songs. I turned it off. Maybe I am missing something. The songs are all the same length (3:51). Maybe they are meant to be layered? Idk.
sleepmakeswaves is pretty nice one listen in.

These two albums caught my ear last week..
(https://www.angrymetalguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/024630-scaled.jpg)
It's kind of Gothy and I enjoyed it. It led me to their previous album, 2016's The Unknown, which is downright tremendous!

It's technically atmospheric black metal, but there's a grandioseness about it that's really cool.

I'm actually enjoying the new VP. A little bit of a departure from what they typically offer.
