I've spun it twice but I don't remember much of it when it's finished. Admittedly, I was a bit distracted from simultaneously watching Doom Eternal play-throughs...although, it is strangely appropriate.

What is a Doom Eternal playthrough?

Doom Eternal is a relatively new video game (an interactive electronic form of entertainment) that came out on March 20th. You beat the shit out of alien demon monster things in really over-the-top gory ways with your hands and crazy guns and it's a blast, pun intended. A playthrough is someone playing through a video game. Quiz on Saturday at 9 AM sharp CST.

This part in particular cracked me up.

This got a full on belly laugh out of me too.

And I have to agree with ~~Parama~~ Cyril about the diversity. There is quite an eclectic assortment of sounds for AtmoBlack.

Gave it another listen this evening, and yeah I like it, but I don't love it. Looking forward to whatever is next though!

Where’s our new album??

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #75 on:** May 16, 2020, 09:41:45 AM »

New album coming after I get off work.

Week 2

Tongues - Hreilia | (Bandcamp)

(Black Metal w/ Touches of Death/Doom and a bit of Atmosphere/Dissonance)

1 Perennial Waves
2 Theophagus Wounds of Earth
3 Interlude
4 ...And the Ever Watchful Clouds
5 Grove of Mithridate
6 Acumen Numinous
7 Hreilia

Once again a relatively new discovery for me, even though the album came out in 2017. This has a great dissonant Doomy vibe mixed with the Black Metal.

I listened to just the first two songs which was enough to convince me this just is not for me at all lol

That's ok, but to be honest the back half of the album would probably be much more to your liking, or maybe not.

Crow · « **Reply #79 on:** May 16, 2020, 05:34:25 PM »

maybe, but if i disliked/was bored by the first 15ish minutes that much i don't really have much use for the album as a whole anyways

That's how I felt after the first album, but it ended strong.

I will check this out tomorrow most likely. Gonna go to bed now.

I walked 20k steps today and I'm having trouble breathing too so bedtime

I'm watching I Love Lucy though so to be fair I am 80 years old.

TAC · « **Reply #85 on:** May 16, 2020, 05:59:40 PM »

OK, just made it through the first two songs. Can't say I enjoyed the first one, and after the second one started, I was worried. But it ended up OK.
But that's all I'm putting my ears through tonight.

TAC · « **Reply #86 on:** May 17, 2020, 04:59:43 PM »

OK..
Ran through Interlude. Ok.
..And The Ever Watchful Clouds-It started out like it could be interesting, but man it was really quite awful.

Grove Of Mithridate was actually pretty cool though and easily the best song so far.

There's the reaction I was looking for

Week 2 doesn't seem to be going down so well.

Let's give it a go.

EDITS:

Hmm, I liked the atmospheric first few minutes of Perennial Waves, but when it kicks off it gets a bit... muddy maybe, for my tastes. The combination of dissonant music and production that isn't very clear or punchy doesn't really work for me.

Theophagous is ok I guess, seems to jump between some cool moments and some pretty blah ones (for the same reasons as the opener - at this point I suspect this album won't really be my thing).

Ever Watchful Clouds is just kinda there. I found it really monotonous to be honest.

Grove of Mithridate is similar to Theophagus, maybe a bit better overall as there's some melodic and atmospheric moments in the second half that are pretty good. Still not really my thing though for the most part.

Acumen was alright too, similar to Grove really. And then the atmospheric closer was good. Second half of the album definitely more interesting than the first, but it's all a bit eh overall.

The Walrus · « **Reply #89 on:** May 18, 2020, 07:38:07 AM »

Well... waiting for the next one.

Podaar · « **Reply #90 on:** May 18, 2020, 10:19:49 AM »

Two songs in and, the dissonance is strong in this one. The atmospheric stuff is interesting but I prefer the more rocking moments, like the last half of Theophagous Wounds of Earth.

Loved Interlude. Evil as fuck.

Thought I had more to say about ...And The Ever Watchful Clouds, but TAC kinda summed it up nicely.

I mostly enjoyed Grove Of Mithridate but I'm put off by the drumming, I can't tell if it's intentional or just random pounding. Oh, and less cowbell!

The album finished strong with the last two numbers.

All told, I think I'd rather spin to this album than the one from last week, but I'm not really eager to relisten to either, at this point.

Indiscipline · « **Reply #91 on:** May 18, 2020, 10:46:21 AM »

You know what, Puppies?

I kinda liked Interlude, honest.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #92 on:** May 18, 2020, 03:35:24 PM »

Apparently my goal is to turn people off of Black metal, one week/album at a time

I like weird stuff.....

The Walrus · « **Reply #93 on:** May 18, 2020, 04:03:35 PM »

Hey you know I'm just waiting for that Summoning worship black metal dawg

TAC · « **Reply #94 on:** May 18, 2020, 05:38:32 PM »

OK, just finished.

Acumen Numinous...That ain't working. It's like a giant granola bar where I have to eat through all the coconut, nuts, and other shit just to get a chocolate bit. Not worth it.

The title track? I mean what is that?

What's weird is that while making this album they had to cut songs that um..weren't good enough.

King Puppies and the Acid Guppies · « **Reply #95 on:** May 18, 2020, 07:43:10 PM »

How would you guys feel about me doing 2 albums a week? I have enough stuff to take us through the year and beyond even doing 2 a week. Or should I just stick to the one.

Only reason I ask is to give you guys a couple of options to increase your chances of liking an album/artist. I know most black metal isn't the easiest music to really get into, so maybe 2 albums might be too much? I dunno......any feedback?

TAC · « **Reply #96 on:** May 18, 2020, 07:47:08 PM »

Whatever you want to do is fine. I'd probably just read the room, and once you think everyone's gotten through the latest, then maybe post the next one.

I'm going to listen to whatever you post so it's all good to me.

Crow · « **Reply #97 on:** May 18, 2020, 08:10:06 PM »

one a week is already too many for me tbh

i'd probably drop off if we did two a week, i can't even promise i'll keep up with one

The Walrus · « **Reply #98 on:** May 18, 2020, 09:12:47 PM »

I could easily do 2 per week, your call!

EDIT: Seriously, I could easily do 2 in a day, no problem. But I'm hard to please; my favorite power metal is, well, light on the 'metal' to most people. My favorite black metal is less black metal than it is dungeon synth. etc.

TAC · « **Reply #99 on:** May 19, 2020, 09:21:40 AM »

I'm at 2 songs per day.

The Walrus · « **Reply #100 on:** May 19, 2020, 03:49:21 PM »

I just want to say there is black metal I like because as per Cyril's recommendation I checked out The Density Parameter by Mesarthim (I think Pup sent me one of their songs recently) and omfg it's amazing.

We will be getting to more of that kind of stuff in this thread, just hold tight.

Yeah I sent you Fragmenting on that post roulette ep/concept album.

Evermind · « **Reply #104 on:** May 20, 2020, 06:37:32 AM »

I'm behind on this but just checked out Omega Centauri and ehh. The production was better than I expected but that was about the only good thing about that record for me. The other good thing is the last song which was listenable. I guess black metal in general might not be for me, we'll see.

I need a break before I listen to this week's album.
