Been digging death/doom lately, some of the heaviest metal in existence, awesome stuff.    

Abandon - The Dead End   Anyone hear this? Possibly the most desperate, depressing, just downright evil sludge record ever, massive on 3xLPs and well.    

I'll listen to anything Wrest is involved with, awesome.   New Altar of Plagues video. Sounds much more Grindcore-influenced than previous albums, could do without the electronica crap as well, otherwise, I'm pretty excited for the album, even though it's supposed to be around 20 minutes long.

Quote: Yup, it's such a shame too, excellent band otherwise. They're doing a disservice to their music with that crap.

New Arckanum album announced, 2013 is looking to topple 2012 in my opinion. We should be getting a flood of more OSDM goodness as well, MMMMMMMMM   Also, not sure if it's OK to post, but Fanisk has released one of the best Black Metal albums I've heard this year, though they have ****ty NSBM...

Just read your Sulphur Aeon review on Metal-fi, any idea if the brickwalling was carried over to the LP version? The snippets I've heard are fantastic but the brickwalling makes me a bit wary.

Loved this album when I first heard it. Usually not big on Epic Black Metal but this is incredibly well done.  

2013 seems to be a really good year for Brutal Death Metal. New Devourment, Wormed, Defeated Sanity, Craniotomy and Euphoric Defilement in just 3 months time. I'm not that big of a BDM fan but the new Wormed is just a real piece of work, absolutely adore it.   On top of that, really...

Botanist's new album is out now on bandcamp!!  

Dragged into Sunlight announced their followup to Hatred for Mankind on their facebook today, awesome. Widowmaker was an excellent interim release so I'm really looking forward to it.   MORE IMPORTANTLY, they also released a single track, collaboration with black metal/noise masters, Gnaw...

Anyone listen to Abyssal's latest album? Denouement was one of my favorite releases from 2012 and I was surprised to get an email from them at the beginning of January about Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius.  

Hey guys, last time I posted I had acquired a Kenwood KA-7100 and gave it thorough clean and deoxit session. I currently use it with my turntable and a pair of HE-500s and overall it sounds pretty good, but I was wondering if it could sound better. I've no real reference for comparison, but I'm...

After IV: Mandragora was announced I got addicted to Botanist all over again, haha. Hope the first two albums are pressed to vinyl in the future. WARNING:: Black Metal with no guitars.  

New Anaal Nathrakh!!  

Impaled Northern Moonforest is probably my favorite black metal band  

Anyone listen to the new Elysian Blaze album "Blood Geometry"? I got the record in the mail last night (friggin' triple vinyl) and listened to it thoroughly, it's in the running for best album of the year, in my opinion, some of the best funeral doom I've heard in a LOOONG time, though...

Quote:     I really, REALLY hope that Vinterland playing means they have a new ******* album in the works. This list is killing me, Kommandant, Ihsahn, Loss and Anhedonist? Dammit!

Here's my turntable and some pictures of all my records so far. It's not much but it's awesome.

The new Beyond Terror Beyond Grace album is fantastic, borrows many elements from Ulcerate while tossing in some elements of icy cold black metal into the mix.  

Anyone enjoy the recent influx of dissonant atmospheric blackened death metal?  

Quote: Vinterland WHAT THE ****?!?!?!?

I'm not too big on Power Metal but I have a huge soft spot for Sonata Arctica (barring their terrible new album) and Pharaoh.

Quote: They're insane, scary to listen to at night. They remind me a lot of Darkspace and Wheels within Wheels latest split with Merkaba

Quote: It's an absolutely killer album (Gorods) Gorguts is supposed to release one soon as well.
