Not sure if any of you guys have heard of them before, but I happened upon a death metal band from NYC called Pyrrhon who self-released an album online earlier this year and are now getting a proper disc release. The full album is streaming online here. I'd never heard of them but saw "Gorguts worship set in NYC subways: hear Pyrrhon's new album here" on the sidebar of a page reviewing the Enslaved/Alcest show in NYC. Strongly recommended if you like: Ulcerate, Gorguts, Pavor, Deathspell Omega, Immolation, anything else in that vein, or The Red Chord.

Non Serviam posted:If anybody is interested, there's a pretty neat online metal radio called "Snake Metal Radio". http://www.snakenetmetalradio.com/default.asp Oh man, Snakenet's still around? Glad to hear it. That's how I initially got much deeper into metal after hearing a few bands (Sentenced, In Flames, Nevermore, Blind Guardian, Children of Bodom) on a CD my friend burned...ten, eleven years ago? Back then, Snake's favorite band was Opeth and he hated Blind Guardian with a fiery passion. I wonder if anything has changed.

rxcowboy posted:So I know I'm a little late to the party on this one but I just got into Death, and I'm pretty much loving every song so far. The trouble is when I try to listen to other newer death metal bands, the vocals are too growly and almost unintelligible, or the music is too slow and droning. Any recommendations on bands that sound like Death? Which era of Death are you listening to? If it's Symbolic/The Sound of Perseverance, then you should check out the band Illogicist. They're about as close as you're going to get to the technical/progressive sound Death had towards the end.

Kevin Bacon posted:Are there any sites or blogs out there that do good reviews for a wide array of genres and bands (barely even heard of to Metallica)? My absolute favorite review blog by a long shot is autothrall's From the Dust Returned blog. He and the rest of the staff (Penny Arcade metal forum mods, I guess?) review an average of roughly three albums a day (1131 reviews in 2011, for instance), covering all genres and all years. I've been introduced to dozens of bands I ended up loving, and his yearly top-25 lists have had some real gems I wouldn't have otherwise discovered. Not only that, but it was recently reorganized and the reviews can be broken down by year, score, and genre if you don't want to read through everything. I honestly can't recommend it enough.

I've been playing their only release NONSTOP for about a week since I found them (or him?), and I'm fiending for whatever this comedy / avant-garde / ??? metal this is. There's not a whole lot of avant-garde comedy metal to be found, but you could definitely do worse than Carnival in Coal.

And of course there's Darkestrah and Arkona, but those are brought up every time "women in metal" is mentioned. There's also Tard, whom I believe Necro-tron recommended to me years ago.

Schizotek posted:NPR? The radio channel with all the classy music and awesome (comparatively to all the other lovely sources of news in america) news? Jazz? Beethoven? News? THAT NPR!?!?! I know it sounds weird, but NPR has really stepped up their metal coverage lately. In the past year, I can remember them having streaming Agalloch and Worm of Ouroboros concerts, and they had an article about Disma, of all bands, back in March of last year when it was about to be released...with the full album streaming. Also, not that anyone in this thread seems to still care about them, but I believe they were streaming Opeth's new album in its entirety as well. So, I'm not surprised they're highlighting MDF.

Zodijackylite posted:Has anyone else listened to Bound By Entrails "The Stars Bode You Farewell"? It's progressive extreme metal with roots in black metal, I'd compare it to later Emperor/early Ihsahn and Opeth's early to middle albums. It stands out from a lot of Opeth clones and stagnant extreme prog, it's quite unique IMO and it's just really good music. I listened through the album around 20 times over five weeks and it kept growing on me - it didn't catch on the first time but it grew on me each time - it's my favorite album so far this year. If you want a longer description I wrote a review of it. This is loving awesome. Two songs in and I'm enjoying this even more than Ne Obliviscaris. I didn't think anything would unseat Portal of I as my album of the year, but so far, this is on track to do just that.

How about some other, I guess I'll call it genre defying, metal along those lines? I can't recommend Winterhorde enough (from Israel). Not quite as genre-defying, but they're absolutely worth listening to. They've got the prog/symphonic black mix almost perfect.

Yeah, from what I've seen Cerebral Bore are not the greatest live act in the world. Their studio work is absolutely killer, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gWE9YmB8reQ

I believe the lineup at the time was a bunch of prog/metalheads in their early 20s and a 48-year-old jazz drumming instructor. Glad you like it!

Kjorteo posted:Can anyone point me toward some clean, melodic stuff? I realize I'm pretty much living up to the Flower Metal stereotype here, but man, screw it, I just like my metal to be pretty, is that really so wrong. To add to everyone else's suggestions, you might give the following a try: Pain of Salvation - Entropia, One Hour by the Concrete Lake, The Perfect Element Part I, and Remedy Lane. 12:5 is a live acoustic album with completely rearranged songs that is sonically just plain perfect, and then they put out sort of a pretentious (but good) metal opera album after that called Be. Everything else since then (2004-present) has been tremendously disappointing. Pain of Salvation is more straight-up prog, rather than "powerprog" (the mixture of power metal and progressive metal that you obviously prefer), but they're so drat excellent there's no reason to not at least give them a chance. Redemption - This Mortal Coil (Ray Alder of Fates Warning's other band, might be a little on the dark end of what you'd like) Anything Arjen Lucassen has collaborated with other artists on, specifically Ayreon and Star One Ark - Burn the Sun (I assume you've heard this already since it's Jorn Lande) Sieges Even - The Art of Navigating By the Stars both Myrath albums (the first ever metal band from Tunisia signed to a label, lyrics in English and Arabic) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9V-AxS2kao And by the way, I totally agree with you. Those are the two best Symphony X albums by a mile. edit: poo poo, forgot Lost Horizon.

Solid recommendations, but I would add Dark Quarterer. They're an underappreciated Italian band who've been around since the mid '70s, released a masterpiece of an album in 1987 (with horrible production), and just re-recorded it for the 25th anniversary. Keep in mind, the singer is 59 years old on this track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yslnrLazl_8

If you haven't heard his previous band (and now current band again hooray) Augury, you should. They're a lot more..."progressive" rather than "technical," but excellent stuff too. I swear, 90% of the world's quality technical death metal comes from Quebec. He's not quite as firmly at the forefront in the mix as he is for Beyond Creation, but his skills are still showcased (particularly in the intro to this song:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-_NsAKNeao

Houseplant posted:Out of curiosity, what makes you dislike it so much? I don't see it as being very "black metal" in the traditional sense. Their first two albums were definitely moreso, but I just can't see Armada as being *that* incredibly bad. To each his own, I'm just curious if there's something I missed. That seems like it's always the album people mention when they think of KoK. I'm not going to rag on Keep of Kalessin at all because I also love Armada (though they've gone downhill since then for sure), but I'm just wondering if you're familiar with the band Nidingr. Their latest album Greatest of Deceivers sounds a hell of a lot like it, and even the vocals are similar. This is the only song from that album on Youtube but it's a pretty decent representation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqURdlAAd8M

I know people have probably been raving about it enough already but daaaaaamn the Grave Miasma album is awesome. I find that the older I get, the more I'm interested in bands that play music that's comprised of more that one subgenre (black/doom, prog/death, doom/death/black, and death/doom in particular) and these guys don't disappoint in the slightest. As a big fan of Incantation and some of the current bands carrying on/expanding on their influence (Disma specifically), this is near-perfection. The vocals are something else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxht_NzTd8I
