Been on a huge post/sludge kick lately. It usually happens when I get new gear because it's recorded so well.
I've heard 'em all, just something about them never really clicked fully with me. It's like Celtic Frost. I get what's happening and why they're so well regarded, it's just not quite on my wavelength.
I wouldn't hold my breath. From past experience when a band takes 10+ years to put out new music it's usually not a good sign. I think it's pressure on the artist to come out with something really monumental after a long layoff, knowing full well that anything less gets flushed down the toilet by hardass metal media. Wintersun comes to mind here.I've been waiting so many years for new material from this band: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/The_Kovenant/92
They're one of those bands who keep saying they have new stuff, but it's taking forever to finish.

Exactly.I'll just consider it a bonus if/when it comes out.
The other demotivating factor is that there's no money in making music anymore. Especially with older bands that have the bottom line figured out, unlike young up-and-coming bands with ambition and fire to burn.
PS: I just fired up Nexus Polaris and man, that's a long way from Industrial Metal
I'm afraid that's OCD in full force. Hints of good ideas that never go anywhere because the person is going around in circles. I'm talking about the last 2 albums. I think Jari was in a different headspace when he was in Ensiferum.Jari Maenpaa is such a trashpile.
