Today's spins...
What did you think of this? I do NOT normally go for this harsher/more dissonant kind of death metal even when I'm in the mood for more extreme music, but this intrigued me, for some reason. I had read that Artificial Brain are very highly regarded in this scene. Interesting stuff, for sure. Speaking of "extreme", especially in regards to "vocals": I actually enjoyed the album from Afterbirth - another band with the same vocalist - which came out in 2020. The vocals there make zero sense to me, really But if you think of them as just another, um, type of sound and focus on the rest... the songs, the playing and the production were super-cool...
Admittedly I was quite distracted whilst listening but it was OK. I've left it on my 2022 albums playlist, so I'll give it a second chance to grab me. I think the vocals stood out the most, but not really in a great way. They are at the end of the death metal vocals spectrum that I'm not too big a fan of. It was my first time listening to the band, might try some others of theirs. I think the album cover gave me Bolt Thrower vibes, so I thought I'd give them a go.
Out the albums I know here, there are some belters!
Innervisions is probably my second favourite Stevie album, I truly love it.
Hot Rats is the only Zappa album I own, as I have my Dad's vinyl record. I've always wanted to delve further but understandably I'm quite daunted by his catalogue.
As for The Wildhearts; one of my all time favourite bands and one of their more underrated albums for sure. What other Wildhearts albums have you heard dude?
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Quarters!
So obsessed with the Gizzard right now. I just feel they are a band that are fully in their prime. I have this nagging feeling that if I don't see them live soon I'm going to regret it. All I read about on reddit is about how incredible their live shows are on their current tour.
As for my listening right now...
Arguably one of the greatest metal album covers of all time! Inspired by the release of a new Mercyful Fate song I'm spinning my way through their catalogue.
