This is too good to be true.
New Alcest album will be a return to their roots (so probably no more above average Shoegaze)!
And it will be Japan themed (sort-of) and inspired by one of the greatest Anime movies, Mononoke Hime!
My inner weeb is crying tears of joy :')
Immediately preordered the complete box set ♥
Oh Dagon, you rapscallion: “In the universe, where order within disorder mirrors the struggle of two astral gods, serpent versus eagle as they battle upon their thrones for the supremacy of quantum mechanic laws, a vortex left behind their war-thrones sets motion to death portals within our stellar black ocean generating a cosmic whirlpool of infinite movement and renewal at every level, consuming all matter and light.”
gwahaha! TYG loves picking on me. If only you saw our old conversations in AAMML... The highlight was when he basically said that, due to my seemingly superhuman powers, I was surely genetically engineered in a laboratory to bring forth the next evolution of humanity, or something like that. XD
Although melodeath is my favorite metal genre, I'm not nearly as knowledgeable about it as black metal. I haven't even heard Insomnium and Scar Symmetry yet! And no metal genre is my favorite genre of music period. I'm into nearly everything else too, especially electronic stuff and modern classical. If you can combine metal, electronic, and classical (particularly with dramatic choirs), I'm a happy camper. My favorite test track (for audio gear) "ətˈæk 0N tάɪtn" by Hiroyuki Sawano (the first track on the Attack On Titan anime soundtrack) is like that. I would share it here, but I can't find the actual song on YouTube; only crappy alternate versions and covers.
Yep, the other guitarist for Revocation (Not Dave, the other dude) is the main songwriter for Artificial Brain, but he does not tour with them. Still, the live guitarist they have is great and he has toured with a bunch of other bands. They are incredibly good live.
I hope they will go back to their old ways, I really like Whoracle so another album with similar feel would be great, I'm sure lots of fan will be happy if they do. ^_^
Not a big melodeath dude so when the mood strikes me, I'll listen to Slaughter of the Soul and then I'm satisfied for another six months.
Anyone listening to the new Inter Arma? I think it's solid, over an hour long but never really feels like it. I don't think the clean singing does much to improve the album though. Not that I'm against them using it, I just think it could have been done better. Gets a 3/5 for me. Definitely worth repeated listens, won't be on my AOTY shortlist though.
Any Gilead Media fans? If not, vinyl nerds should certainly check them out, every LP release has a dedicated vinyl master. They actually responded to my inquire very fast:
Every Gilead Media release is pressed with a dedicated vinyl master, yes. And we use a lacquer cutter / mastering engineer that does NOT do direct cuts, he actually analyzes and makes adjustments when performing a lacquer cut to ensure the best quality transfer.
[size=12.8px]Krallice's Ygg huur sounds excellent and I just pre-ordered the summer release collection featuring LPs from Anicon and Mizmor, a 12" EP from Krallice and Thou's Peasant re-mastered on CD.

ALSO: Revisited the latest Jute Gyte, I'm digging it so hard now. Now definitely on my year-end list, he's truly an innovative artist.
