2·1 month agoHell yeah. And I usually struggle with instrumental metal, but these guys are a reliable exception
Lol I didn’t even notice the shirt, that’s awesome. Yeah all I know is I’m stoked for the album. On purpose, I haven’t listened to the singles a ton so far, so I’m excited to see how the new LP compares to the previous two when it’s out in its full glory.
Lmao yes bring back the Slipknot memes. Also wow, I hadn’t checked the lineup, never occurred to me it was a solo effort
Ey hell yeah, that album was a fun surprise for sure
Lmao right? See also: Aethere, Aethereus, Aetherius, and Aetherian
Well that was super cool, exciting exposure too.
That’s good to know: I don’t know Gorod as well as I should, and I picked this track pretty hastily
Hell yeah Snarky Puppy! And I’d never heard of Forq before, thanks for sharing. Always cracks me up to make those discoveries: we’re both here for metal, but also both enjoy upbeat modern jazz like that too
Aw Volbeat. Makes me think of Lola Montez, been a long time lol
Totally allowed! I’ll give that a shot, thanks for sharing
Yeah agreed, reminds me a bit of the voicemail intro to Archspire’s A.U.M.
Maaaaaan - this is what’s cool about the huge umbrella that is metal. It includes the stuff I always post on this community, yes, your JFAC, your Carnosus, relentless techy wankery. But it also includes beautiful operatic melodic metal like this. The guitar work makes me want to go explore the ruins of a temple, and the vocals make me want to soar above it. This is what Mods Are Drunk Friday is for, thanks for sharing
I can’t decide if this’d be better with Stu Block hair metal vocals, or unintelligible slam vocals, but I’m here for it either way
Yeah same here, I’m not too good at identifying tech/black/prog/melo/core elements, I just go for what sounds good. Hell yeah Esoteric Malacology, love Crop Killer. Tomb Mold is good too, but I know Planetary Clairvoyance better than The Enduring Spirit. The others are new to me, so I’ll check those out, thanks!
Nice! Yeah that’s true. I’m always down to explore though. What are some of your favorite blackened death releases? Maybe maybe I’ll queue up a Black[ened] Friday tomorrow
Glad you like! Tbh I posted it just because everyone’s talking about this album, but it hasn’t really resonated with me. I’ll have to give it another shot
Iiiiiii have not listened to Nightwish in a decade or two, but I would love to revisit, thank you for resharing. Reminds me of how I used to use Dimmu Borgir - Sympozium as an alarm lmao
Ugh that’s really tough, they’re both solid. I agree about the slight edge to Moon Healer. It’s just hard to set aside how big a stylistic change Sun Water had been from previous releases, how much Jonny’s vocal range had expanded, etc. Felt really fresh at the time. But goddamn, Agony Seeping Storm…
Mm Carnosus day arrived at last, excellent stuff. Also, new Infant Annihilator was fun, but for me really just a teaser for the upcoming album.
