Bruce Boxliker posted:The new Alcest is a pretty good shoegaze/post-rock record, if you're surprised by the change in direction I don't think you've really been paying attention. You could just listen to Slowdive though. Also gonna chime in with my praise for The Satanist. Pretty much everything I want from a big name metal release. Really enjoying it.

Gamma Nerd posted:You should probably stay away from large industrial magnets. I picked up a copy of this myself, despite already spending too much money this past week. I find that although his art is great, it's getting a bit repetitive, but shooting for a sci-fi theme seems to have changed this. PL always present their releases really nicely, so I'm really looking forward to receiving my copy. Also checked out the new Prostitute Disfigurement album. Typically gross song titles etc. but the riffs are really fun and I would recommend checking it out if you like the odd bit of brutal death metal. I tend to stick to more old school sounding stuff, but sometimes that itch just needs to be scratched! That, and the Benighted and Aborted albums should tide me over nicely for brutal DM in 2014. I didn't really pick anything up last year besides the Defeated Sanity record.

There's been some chat about the album in the Black Metal thread, it's pretty good, but I don't like it as much as Torn Beyond Reason. I saw Exhumed last night and it was a hell of a lot of fun. Ended up at the bar during Toxic Holocaust though.

Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:I've been listening to the new Nocturnal album, Storming Evil. It's another unhealthy dose of blackened thrash in the vein of early Destruction, Sodom, Aura Noir and maybe even a little Kreator worship. A solid release for early 2014. I've officially lost count now on how many great bands Fenriz has turned me on to. He's like that black sheep uncle that shows up once a month in his dirty patched denim vest driving a 70s Dodge van with a Frank Frazetta mural airbrushed on the side. Only to leave you with another gem from his personal vinyl collection that reeks of stinky weed. Man, you're really selling this album. I really wanna check it out now but I have enough stuff to listen through without acquiring even more! I've gone from "2014 is slow so far" to "help, drowning in new releases".

Gamma Nerd posted:I definitely feel like Marrow of the Spirit went for a prog-black approach like later Enslaved. It was a hit-or-miss album for me but definitely had its moments. The whispered vocals during Black Lake Nidstang and To Drown were pretty rad. I love Marrow of the Spirit. Black Lake Nidstang and Ghosts of the Midwinter Fire are amazing tracks. Excited to hear the new album even though Faustian Echoes didn't really grab me at all. THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Sabbat is great and I actually like them better than Abigail I've been meaning to check out Abigail for a while, where should I start?

I just want to say: I hope my housemates are enjoying the new Teitanblood album as much as I am. It's loving brilliant. So many great moments and I've only listened to it twice so far. Expecting it to grow on me like Seven Chalices did. Can't wait for the new Dead Congregation to compliment it!

Whilst we're all waiting for a new Disma album, we should be listening to Fuoco Fatuo. Their full-length is really solid death-doom and I'm really enjoying it. http://caligarirecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-viper-slithers-in-the-ashes-of-what-remains. CD version is available from Iron Tyrant, I dunno if it has US distribution right now.

In an anti-tech post: The new Autopsy album is actually pretty good. The title track and a few of the other songs rule. Also, new Dead Congregation drops next week now, (for the EU anyway, regional releases are stupid). We've really been spoiled for death metal this year. Does the new Bolzer EP have a release date yet?

Henchman of Santa posted:Depending on how much you like Carcass post-Necroticism, I would recommend it. They were great in April. Exhumed are probably really fun live. Don't know if Obituary is still worth seeing. Definitely go! Exhumed were tons of fun when I saw them last year. I haven't seen Carcass since Surgical Steel came out, but they put on a great show when I saw them. Obituary's guitar tone was spot on and they put on a really good show. Baron Von Ghoulosh posted:While it may be nothing entirely original and a drunken bold statement, but the new Horrendous album may very well be the best death album I've ever heard. Yes, I said it. Wouldn't go that far, but drat I love that cover art. Dead Congregation is still my favourite death metal album of 2014. It's so, so good.

I like the metal thread as it is. My tastes are mostly rooted in stuff that falls under the doom/black metal/hardcore threads, but I know where to look if I want music like that, whereas I pick up random recommendations from this thread. Like, I tend to enjoy about 1 brutal death metal/slammish album a year, and I never would've caught on to Disentomb if there hadn't been a few posts about them in this thread. Yeah, a lot of stuff I don't care about gets talked about in here, but it's easy to sift through that.

Kumbamontu posted:That (Vultures Descend from Disentomb's new record) is about the first brutal death song I've actually enjoyed. I'm still not convinced that there is any point at all to the vocals, but the instrumentation is fun. I dunno. I like to think of the vocals in this sort of music as an extra layer of percussion. A well timed "URGH!" can make the following riff change or breakdown or whatever so much more enjoyable. That might just be me though.

Decapitated have been in another crash. None of them are seriously injured, but 2 are in hospital. Those dudes have the worst luck  Also, this is the first Nathrakh album I'm really not enjoying. The electronic elements on this record sound reeeeally naff, in my opinion. There are actually bits that remind me of Illud Divinum Insanus. Pretty crushed, because I've loved everything else they've done. I feel like they need to shake things up a bit on the next album, I really don't like the direction they're headed in.

Bolt Thrower own so hard. The show they put on yesterday in Leeds was bloody amazing. Everyone was so into it as well, definitely had a very enthusiastic hug from a teary eyed stranger, and at the end of the show I enthused with a few random people about how good it was. It was my first time seeing them, and if I can ever see them again, I'll definitely be there. Cannibal Corpse were also on the bill, they were ok, but the room was packed and I couldn't really see, so I left to get a good spot for Bolt Thrower. Definitely the right decision.

Amazed that ATG got #2. From what I heard (even from critics) it was at best a solid 7/10. Also the new Horrendous is good, but Dead Congregation is EASILY the best death metal album for 2014. 40 minutes of perfectly crafted death metal which flows seamlessly as an album, with no loving around with intros or outros. All the atmosphere comes from the music itself. Brilliant album.
