That could have been me, among others who are spreading the gospel over there (@markm1 and @sludgeogre). To me, Be sounds very Audeze-like (I have LCD-2 and LCD-4), I get that warm familiar sound and pleasantly rolled-off treble with foam tips (I use Campfire marshmallow tips, Comply foam also...

I tried Cascade at CANJAM NYC (straight from my iPod) and was floored. Absolutely stunning, skull-rattling bass with slam and visceral impact that rumbles and levels entire city blocks. Initially felt surprisingly warm, with almost-overpowering bass seemingly bleeding into the mids which first...

If you are talking about Fen's Winter - yes, it is spectacular. For good reason, I had it among my favorite 2017 releases, which you can find here: https://ninecircles.co/2017/12/19/best-of-2017-zyklonius-list/ My best of 2016 list might also be of interest to you...

I can only imagine how amazing Dopesmoker sounds with Atticus. I can attest to its pure transcendental glory with LCD-2. Most importantly, let us know what kind of shirt Matt Pike wore during Sleep's set.

Since you are already in the Schiit camp, a multibit/R2R version of Bifrost or Gungrir (depending on your budget) would be the logical next step towards further refinement and bliss. Multibit adds to the cost but is worth every penny. @RCBinTN convinced me to upgrade my delta-sigma Gungnir to a...

My EOY list went up at Nine Circles the other day: https://ninecircles.co/2017/12/19/best-of-2017-zyklonius-list/ 25. Rosetta – Utopioid 24. Ex Eye – Ex Eye 23. Ufomammut – 8 22. Viscera/// – 3: Release Yourself Through Desperate Rituals 21. Subetroth – Agnozia 20. Usnea – Portals into Futility...

For those who might be interested, I posted my list of best metal so far in 2017 over at Nine Circles: https://ninecircles.co/2017/07/18/best-of-2017-mid-year-report-zyklonius-list/

I don't care much about algorithms. Instead, I follow a lot of people on Bandcamp, so my feed is full of recommendations from people with matching tastes. I peruse a plethora of metal blogs on a daily basis (e.g. Angry Metal Guy, Metal Trenches, No Clean Singing, Last Rites, Meat Mead Metal...

  My best of 2016 list includes a lot of stuff that meets your criteria (psychedelic, mind-altering, intensely grand and/or with vast emotional depth): https://ninecircles.co/2016/12/26/best-of-2016-zyklonius-list/   I'd single out The Morningside (should appeal to Opeth fans), 40 Watt Sun...

Probably my favorite out-of-the-blue release so far this year.       Wrote some flowery words about it:: https://ninecircles.co/2017/03/17/receiving-the-evcharist-aversio-humanitatis-and-smoke-on-the-porter-fire-in-the-rye/   EDIT: somehow the embedded player starts from the second song...

  Mammoth Weed Wizard person, Bog Oak, Iskra, Immortal Bird, SubRosa, Abnormality - to name but a few. 

  If you are looking for grade A+ doom/stoner/psychedelic metal, I can warmly recommend Mammoth Weed Wizard person's Y Proffwyd Dwyll, which I included in the top 10 of my best metal of 2016 list I posted recently in the other metal thread:  ...

Curse you, double posting!

  That's the beauty and horror of metal these days: myriad sub-genres and sub-scenes with an overwhelming number of releases. I'd conservatively estimate that I listen to 300-400 new albums every year and try to keep my clammy hands on the pulse of metal, but am still finding a lot of stuff on...

Alright, my best of 2016 list is now up at Nine Circles: https://ninecircles.co/2016/12/26/best-of-2016-zyklonius-list/   For the sake of convenience, I've pasted the list below. For pompous verbiage and Bandcamp links, visit Nine Circles.   Honorable mentions: Downfall of Gaia – Atrophy...

  The most emotionally rousing record released in 2016    

  Whatever you do, do NOT listen to 40 Watt Sun's Wider than the Sky. Even if I have embedded the Bandcamp player below for convenience. The most emotional and gut-wrenching music I heard this year.     <a data-cke-saved-href="http://40wattsun.bandcamp.com/album/wider-than-the-sky"...

  FWIW, I once got scammed at an art print site when I purchased a print from a guy who is a well-established member in that community with over 11,000 posts. First claimed that his gf forgot to post it on his behalf, assured he'd do it, after which he stopped replying to my follow-up queries...

  Angry Metal Guy’s Law of Diminishing Recordings: No matter how good your favorite band is, eventually they will start to suck for one of two reasons: 1) They run with the same sound for long enough that it begins to get tired and every song becomes interchangeable and/or uninspired or 2) They...
