Yes.
New Alestorm album, No Grave But The Sea, is coming out May 26th.

It includes a song titled "hosed with an Anchor".

I for one am looking forward to hearing this new, obviously more brutal sound the band is going for.

gently caress, this Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas album is loving lit. I remember 10 or so years ago CoL getting some flack as being the not-as-good peers of Neurosis and Isis but I think they've really come into their own since then.

Listen to this poo poo. It's fantastic.

Cygnus is my favorite, but really all of them are good.
Somewhere along the highway was always a great album and Mariner have more in common with that album than their others.
I never really got Neurosis despite listening to a lot of their albums. Cult is more my style, but it might be a Scandinavian thing.
Couple of the band members are in Khoma, also a great band, but less heavy.

Invictus Productions has been on one hell of a roll as of late. The new Ascended Dead record that they're putting out sounds like a total ripper.

I thought Cult of Luna's Vertikal was where they really came into their own, with Mariner also being very good. Their debut was actually pretty interesting as well, it was the second album on that really sounded like not quite as good Isis to me.

Vertikal is where they lost a step imo. Somewhere Along the Highway and Eternal Kingdom are the best, not counting Mariner.

Like which ones in particular? I always thought you'd have to be pretty sympathetic at least to be able to put that much time and effort into making nazis look cool. Or have a really incredible set of blinders.

I really don't think they are at all unless using atrocities and awful periods in history as a theme is suddenly the same as agreeing with and supporting the ideologies. The Angel of Death clause I guess. They're very anti-PC and all that but I can't imagine they're actually neo-nazis.

It's not explicit enough for me to be sure. The lyrics on Panzer Divison Marduk seemed to really focus on the violence of the battlefield, while the lyrics on Frontschwein seem to really go through and glorify the nazi generals one by one. The Blond Beast is about the architect of the holocaust. In Afrika they talk about the "88's" firing, which I know was a weapon, but still. Maybe it's just that they've adopted more of the nazi terminology for things so it sounds more tasteless than it used to.

I mean I've never bothered with Marduk but it sounds from descriptions like it's basically like the Nazi fixation Slayer used to have, except more death metal-ish. But Slayer usually gets explained away by pointing out that Tom Araya is Chilean.

What do you particularly like about them? spooky and atmospheric is kind of unspecific. Vediog Svaor did some psych black metal that might appeal maybe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pys1Df7Up8

Eh, Cult of Luna have sounded like that for the last 10-15 years.
Julie Christmas by herself wasn't that special, after listening to her other stuff.
The synergy she gets with CoL is what really makes this album great.

Also, nu-metal is so 1990s and was a retarded concept even back then.
I can't even begin to figure out what makes a band nu-metal considering that the Wikipedia article names Korn, Deftones, Slipknot and Linkin Park as nu-metal.
The variance within the so-called genre makes any definitions impossible and thus useless, and really only the use for the term is for deragotory remarks.
But hey, not every band can be Manowar.

Funny thing with Burzum is there isn't even any overt politically questionable stuff in the lyrics, you'd never even know the dude was a Nazi if he'd stuck to just making music and never doing any interviews or criminal acts or anything.

(Or at least this was true up until the point where I stopped paying attention to new Burzum releases, I don't know what the guy has been up to after the first post-prison album.)

Did you listen to Battle of Mice or just Julie's solo stuff? Because Battle of Mice put out one of the best atmospheric sludge albums of all time.

A Forest Of Stars does the psychedelic black metal pretty drat well. As far as "spooky and atmospheric", Cultes des Ghoules and Hail Spirit Noir also tickle my fancy.

"Are you guys a nazi band?"

"No, we just hate religion" -Mardukman

Sabaton's Ghost Division speaks pretty highly of the 7th Panzer Division, and as far as I know they aren't accused of being Nazis. I mean sure they have anti Nazi songs too, but if we are basing a bands ideology on choice lyrics then Sabaton are totally for a thousand year Reich.

I randomly listened to Victims of Deception today, such a great album. One of the few that manages to mix technicality into thrash metal without making it suck.

Always fun to re-visit stuff you've forgotten was that good.
