Any Draconian fans in here? I discovered the band earlier this week and have been listening to them non stop since.
Death, Come Near Me and Pale Tortured Blue are my favorite songs for the moment.
Going to listen to their newest album, Under a Godless Veil, which is apparently mellower according to the reviews I've read.

I've been racking my brain over the past few months trying to remember an old death metal 45 I picked up back in middle school and I finally rediscovered it today. It's nothing special, but I'm posting a track from it here to make the search feel worthwhile.
In more recent music, I just saw this posted over on /r/metal FFO: Paradise Lost/My Dying Bride and I'm really feeling it:

New Dakhma album coming and the first track released is killer
BTW this is a two piece consisting of members of Tomb Mold and Innumerable Forms!

Damn straight. Probably gonna go see them play in Victoria (where they formed) in a couple weeks.
I wish I could get into 'mainstream' power metal (as opposed to bands like Manilla Road; is European power metal the term?) because there always seems to be an abundance of it that fans of the genre are crazy about, but I haven't cared about any band like that since Kleid and Harpen left Elvenking.
...which was over 15 years ago now.
Really takes me back.

I've been listening to a lot of Immortal today and was reminded of this legendary Abbath guitar lesson that every aspiring artist should watch.

Which one would make the best black metal album cover? 🤔
Last one
These two. Probably the last one more than the first one, but I do like the first one. Sepia is a good choice.Which one would make the best black metal album cover? 🤔
The new Rivers of Nihil album is really starting to grow on me. Some absolute fantastic songs on there.
Got a Ticketmaster email saying the Judas Priest show is postponed. I thought it was gonna be some covid shenanigans (which would be weird since our lockdown is ended here) but it's unrelated, Richie is unwell :(
Hope he's OK and recovers soon

Video for the 3rd single from the upcoming Archspire album was released today. This album is going to be monstrous.
I wish I liked their music more. Like, I love the novelty/skill of it, but at a certain point it feels like listening to a really complicated yo yo trick. I know with their last album, I couldn't tell any of the songs apart. This one isn't having that problem as much, but it still feels like it'll be an album that'll get kind of tiring to listen to by the end. Which sucks because their guitar tone is sick, and Olli is an absolute fucking beast of a frontman.
This one didn't grab me immediately, but I am certainly loving that they're going all in with synth heavy sounds.
I can get that. I thought the songwriting was much improved on the last record (Relentless Mutation), and I feel like the three singles they've released thus far from "Bleed the Future" have all been distinct, memorable, and contained good hooks. But you can also definitely pick out the tropes they use in each song, as well.
Newest Hypocrisy song is not just pretty boring and irrelevant it's also top tier conspiracy stupidity.
Well, that's nothing new the with their previous stuff like aliens and NWO, but in the past I could enjoy stuff like "The pyramids were build as beacons for the space ships of alien", "Maya temples", Area 52 etc. on an trashy/entertaining level.
But the newest song is just "The evil government wants to control us until we are dead" and "chemtrails as far as eye can see".

I think Archspire are actually pretty canny songwriters who walk that tightrope between memorability and corkscrewing technicality better than a lot of their contemporaries. A band like Origin or Spawn of Possession never released a straight up banger like Remote Tumour Seeker, for example. That said, they're still operating in a pretty tight niche which is extreme even by normal death metal standards, so I get it.
Kicking off spooky season in style, NecroticGoreBeast released their new album today. Neck wrecking riffs by the ton and vocals only a garbage disposal could love. Highly recommended for those willing to sacrifice a few of their brain cells to the altar of slam.
Also stumbled across this newish Worm track while on Bandcamp and came away highly impressed. Melodic doom death with a bit of blackened theatricality. Definitely gonna go back and check out their previous album.
Digging this blackened thrash release from Sadistic Force. Great stuff so far.
He posted an update on his social media. Aorta ruptured in his chest during the performance. But luckily it happened at the end of the short set and hospital was close enough.
Yes, Sovran is my fav, a real tearjerker. I like the newest one as well.
Now listen to Hour of the Nightingale and embrace all the tears.
Thanks for the recommendation! I learned a bit about Trees of Eternity by listening to some Hallatar, but haven't listened to any of their songs yet.
Sovran is an incredible album! Arcane Rain Fell and Under a Godless Veil too, these three are my favorite of their albums.
Have you ever seen them live? I was disappointed by the videos I watched on YouTube, but I couldn't tell if it's solely because of the quality of the recordings or if the band is simply not as good live.
Jane Doe identified!

The woman from Converge’s ‘Jane Doe’ artwork reveals herself, J Bannon confirms
20 years after the release of 'Jane Doe,' model Audrey Marnay has said that the mysterious woman on the cover is her, and J. Bannon has confirmed it.

No I haven't but I will probably go see them should they ever play around here. Also hour of the Nightingale was released just after the singer, Aleah, had passed away, which makes it somewhat special to me. And the mood is very similar to Draconians music so you should like it.

I seriously can't stop listening. I have nostalgia for Shogun but I think this might actually be a better album. Damn.
