Accidentally posted this in the Black Metal thread instead of here, so here you go.

Apparently this album was released end of July digitally, but I only found out about it because I got a promo email from the label that is releasing the CD.

A Pale December is some loving fantastic atmospheric/post black metal. I'd say if you're a fan of Harakiri for the Sky, a slightly less medieval Obsequiae, maybe even a little Agalloch, ( and the more I listen, some Alcest ) this will be right up your alley. Lots of melody, airy ambient stringed instrument interludes and synths, a really beautiful, depressing, harsh kind of vibe. The production is fantastic too, the drums in particular sound amazing and I normally don't give a poo poo about drums really as long as they're there.

A lot of the songs have a real sense of building up and intensifying before dropping to a lull then picking back up again along with a variety of quick time-signature adjustments sprinkled throughout, it's a very satisfying listen.

Favourite track - The Path of Stars: https://apaledecember.bandcamp.com/...e-path-of-stars

But honestly every song is its own treasure.

This is really good. I just bought it after listening to a couple of songs. Thanks for posting it.

Goddamn, Atonement is such a killer album. Psyched to see Immolation in a few weeks. Been forever since they were last here.

I've seen Immolation so many times I lost count being from upstate NY. Ross and Rob are both awesome guys too. Have the best death metal sound in my opinion.

I think what singlehandedly elevates Immolation to greatness is Robert Vigna. The whole band is talented, but Vigna's guitar work gives the band a signature sound that most other DM bands lack.

His use of bends is something that is way way way underrated. I’m always surprised it never caught on much.

Also his pinch harmonics sound genuinely evil and not like a metal cliche

I've been listening to Concertina a lot recently but unfortunately their album is more like an EP with only 5 tracks. Are there other bands that sound very close to this? The band mention influences from Black Sabbath, Down, Orange Goblin, and The Sword and you can tell it's true, but these bands don't really sound the same individually.

You've inspired me to give these guys some money (been listening to the EP on repeat for like 24 hours). Might as well get the cassette since it comes with the digital and is only $5. I can't believe I just bought a cassette...

I loved their first album but was pretty lukewarm on their second. Hoping this one's a return to form.

e: eh, it's not bad. I'll give it another listen or two.

that album is iskra's magnum fuckin opus. the production is incredible and i was so happy to learn they just have the one female singer instead of the 2 vocalist setup like they did a few years back.

edit: theyre like the perfect example of a modern crust band mixing with black metal/thrash imo
