Anyone here started going to shows again? Am vaxxed and will be masking, but venues are small and close quarters.
I've been going to both local and national shows for the past two months. Outdoors and indoors with a mask of course.

First time listening to it properly today as I've got some peace and quiet in the house and its excellent, I enjoyed Thrice Woven but I think this is better.Anyone listen to the new Wolves in the Throne Room? Listening now and I dig it a lot. I like it quite a bit more than their previous.
Definitely digging it. Also a fan of the new Wormwitch:Anyone listen to the new Wolves in the Throne Room? Listening now and I dig it a lot. I like it quite a bit more than their previous.
Wasn't sure I ever checked out Pestilence before, but randomly decided to check out the new album and think it's pretty awesome. Going backwards through the catalog.
Just through the post reform material. Exitivm, awesome. Hadeon, decent tracks but poor production. Obsideo, enjoyed it. Doctine, complete junk. Resurrection Macabre, great.
Damn no Colors 2 talk in here yet?
I keep intending to listen to it from start to finish, but I keep playing it at night so I fall asleep halfway through heh.
Gonna give it a full listen today.
edit: that Ants of the Sky throwback in Bad Habits. Chills.
Quite a bit better than I was expecting but I went in with low expectations (decent album with a few bangers).
I don't think I've ever mentioned to anyone how much I like the Heretic album by Morbid Angel, but I am no longer going to hide. This track is maybe one of the best MA tracks there is.
This post is brought to you by me having my mind blown at how Azagthoth is pronounced after saying it wrong? for 20 years:
I felt as if it's a direct continuation of Pitfalls yet much more mature and complete. On Hold is the standout track for me.Leprous - Aphelion: Man I love this album. I think it's definitely better than their last (which I also did like) and Malina, possibly Coal as well. They're hard to rank. Currently The Shadow Side is stuck in my head daily. Nighttime Disguise is amazing and apparently they wrote it on a fan stream with some fan stipulations. It's cool to hear a scream again. Kinda wish they did a few more tracks with screams.
I've been out of the metal scene for some years. Any good tech-death or old-school-style metal albums lately? Just listened to Deeds of Flesh's latest album and it's great!

Listened to some of Akroasis and i'm loving them! Will check out the others. Thank you. :)Latest Nile album was cool. Also check out some Obscura records (Akroasis,Diluvium or the upcoming "A Valediction"). Another band you might wanna check out is Rivers of Nihil. They will release a new album by the end of september.
Thanks for the recs! :) That's plenty for now thank you I've been out of the loop for about 2 years.How many years are we talking? Here's some recent (and recent-ish) tech I've been listening to:
Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology (I'm not sure if this is tech, progressive or melodic, but it's definitely one of the best DM albums of the last few years)
Vale of Pnath - Accursed
Hideous Divinity - Simulacrum
Hour of Penance - Misotheism
Alustrium - A Monument to Silence
Burial in the Sky - The Consumed Self
Unfathomable Ruination - Enraged and Unbound
Aepoch - Awakening Inception & The Scryer EP
Mithras - On Strange Loops
Allegaeon - Apoptosis
Ophidian I - Desolate
Abysmal Dawn - Phylogenesis
Afterbirth - Four Dimensional Flesh
Beneath the Massacre - Fearmonger
Shadow of Intent - Melancholy
Skeletal Remains - Entombment of Chaos (This is more OSDM, but with a slight, techy slant)
Horrendous - Idol
Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race (I don't get the hype, but the internet lost its mind over this album.)
I'll stop there, but if you're after more rec's lemme know. Not as up on my trad metal, but the new Portrait is out today and the last Eternal Champion album, and Rex by Vampire are both worth checking out.
Just finished Enraged and Unbound and wow that was sick! Reminds me a little of Defeated Sanity which I love. :)How many years are we talking? Here's some recent (and recent-ish) tech I've been listening to:

The cover of Loverman by Nick Cave, which i believe is from Garage Inc, makes me want to throw up. It replaces the dark and majestic flavour of that song with cheap beer and salty pretzelsMade the mistake of listening to Garage Inc. Again for the first time in like 10 years... Terrible, unlistenable trash the majority of it. Worst offender could be their Mercyful Fate medley, what a disaster.
I didn't even like Hell on Earth at first glance, I had set it up in my mind to be the most heavy and myopic track in the band's history and upon actually hearing it, its unabashed sentimentality really threw me off to begin with. Now that 'lost in anger - life in danger' part in its midsection nearly brings a tear to my eye, a first with this band to say the least. It sounds like an X Factor song in a lot of ways, but the best possible execution of that style and a shockingly effective way to potentially write the end of Maiden's album career.
