A buddy of mine posted this on face book last night, I'm kind of bummed about it, it's totally ripping, but the vocals are just SO weak!  I wish they would have done a smoother progression from black metal throat screaming to singing, maybe a nice Lemmy vocal style era?
 
 
I'd call it more black and roll, kind of like death and roll but not awful.  Bar rock songs funneled through the forests of Norway.
 
 

From the three songs I have heard, the vocals are maybe the weakest link. They are trying to be underground and aloof, but come off as sloppy. To make things clear though, Darkthrone has always been kind of sloppy in a super cool way, that no one else could even attempt.
 
 
I have only just heard three songs so well see what the album does. At times I have been able to get used to vocals. Darkthrone's Circle The Wagons had a seemingly drastic increase in bombastic vocals. I spent way less time with it than any album by them in the last couple of years.
 
 
From what I have heard though, this new album is fun and different in a good way. It's not boring at all, but maybe the vocals will take some getting used to.

Very possible, kind of like a Savoy Brown or Dead Moon, for me at least.

Ok finally got a chance to listen, and as the trend with Voivod goes, I don't care for it, but then again, I stop listening after War And Pain and Rrroooaaarrr.  I should really stop expecting bands that put out one or two records in the beginning of their career to ever go back to that style when they got successful doing something else...

Do me a favor, not saying this will change anything, but give it a few more spins just because....I think it might really grow on you...it did for me.

Went to the Coheed and Cambria show here in SF last night and Between the Buried and Me was the second act of the night.  I'm not a huge fan of death metal style lyrics like I was in the past, but they can really mix it up with some interesting sounds and were great live.

Thanks for posting that. What a great song. It reminds us of their departure from the standard BM sound into "punk energy" except for punk songs are usually 2.5 minutes not 3.57 minutes long!!! The new album comes out tomorrow!

Oh **** you haha, i wanted to go to the show in L.A. so bad.  But alas the tickets cost more than i expected.
I'm a big fan of Russian Circles as well.  What did you think of them live?
Also, speaking of math metal.  Am i the only one waiting anxiously for the new ASIWYFA record?

Is it on vinyl? I can't seem to find anything but the CD.

Dunno about Portal though.

I wasn't planning to go initially since I couldn't get any of my friends to go, but I saw the SF show wasn't sold out like 5 days prior so I just bought a ticket and went solo.  
 
Loved Russian Circles as well, though I only caught about two thirds of their set since I was a little late.  From what the guys around me said, they pretty much played for about 40 minutes straight, smoothly transitioning from song to song.  The drummer was excellent, set the mood and tone really well for their songs.
