Zodijackylite posted:I used to be into really technical stuff, specifically as I was learning a lot about the technical aspects of music. It's fascinating to learn about polyrhythms, but in practice, basic percussive use of them gets really boring very quickly. The two-note polyrhythmic cycles over 4/4 are tiring, and they have one type of hook that gets very dull once you figure it out and get used to it. The one-tone vocals make it even worse. I wrote a fairly comprehensive commentary in a review of their last album. Meshuggah don't often use polyrhythms. from wikipedia: Polymeter is sometimes referred to as "tactus-preserving polymeter." The measure size differs, the beat is the same. Since the beat is the same, the various meters eventually agree. (Four measures of 7/4 = seven measures of 4/4). Polyrhythm is sometimes referred to as "measure preserving polymeter,". The beat varies and the measure stays constant. For example, in a 4:3 polyrhythm, one part plays 4/4 while the other plays 3/4, but the 3/4 beats are stretched so that three beats of 3/4 are played in the same time as four beats of 4/4.

Shamed posted:In a year where Satan's Life Sentence, Dream Death's Somnium Excessum, Körgull the Exterminator's Metal Fist Destroyer, Cultes Des Ghoules' Henbane came out and we have a new Deceased and Inquisition album coming, I doubt Vermis will even make the top 5. It's good. It's not close to Don't Break the Oath. Is the new Dream Death really that good? I'd guess I'd better listen to it. Their other album is killer, and has maybe the strangest sense of harmony for like an 80's metal band that I've ever heard, but they did have like a 25 year hiatus. Hope the magic is still there. I'm really digging the new Ulcerate also. Probably number 2 for me, after, that's right, you guessed it, the new Vampire Weekend.

Henchman of Santa posted:Has anyone gone to/is anyone going to the Decibel Magazine tour? I got my ticket to the Columbus show yesterday. Got screwed over on pricing because the venue apparently only opens the Box Office on the day of the show and makes you buy advance tickets through Ticketmaster (paid $34 for a "$23" ticket), and I have to drive 90 minutes with a morning class the next day, but I'm hoping it will be worth it because Carcass and Gorguts are two of my favorite bands. Make sure and wear earplugs. The Black Dahlia Murder, who are lovely, played way louder than the other bands and I think gave me tinnitus.

caiman posted:The new Malthusian album is frightening and awesome. This is basically what I wish Portal sounded like every time I listen to Portal. Before it got released, you could only listen to the last song on band camp. I did that approx. 20 times, and I thought it was gonna be the top track in the album, becuz it rules pretty hard. It is so insane that the first songs are even better, somehow.

Gamma Nerd posted:Yeah they're not the bottom of the barrel, I'll admit that, they do their style well, it's just a really really stale style. Whatever potency that approach had back when Incantation and Blasphemy first did it has long since become mundane and played-out. I dig Incantation (especially Diabolical Conquest) and even some of Portal's stuff, but I don't see the point of a whole genre based on "hey, Fallen Angel of Doom and Onward to Golgotha were pretty loving cool". maybe my ears are busted, but Teitanblood sounds nothing like Incantation, like this doesn't even make sense as a comparison.

Thanks everyone for posting some kool poo poo. Here are some good albums that I didn't see posted: Abyssal - Antikatastaseis Not as good as Novit Einem or whatever, but that is one of the sickest albums ever made. This album is still good, a little more melodic & ambient than their previous stuff. Malthusian - Below the Hengiform Just an EP, but my favorite album of the year so far. If there is a better riff written this year than the one that ends 'Forms Become Vapor,' that would be cool, because that riff is really loving good! Akhyls - The Dreaming I Extremely dark atmospheric/ambient black metal. Paradise Lost - The Plague Within I've never listened to any other Paradise Lost album, but this one is apparently a return to form??? or something like that? Its good. Can't wait to hear more cavernous, noisy, evil black & death metal as the year continues.

El Gallinero Gros posted:What would the metal aoty candidates be? here are my top 5, plus I'm going to tell u where the best riff on the album is: 5. Adversarial - Death, Endless Nothing and the Black Knife of Nihilism. Best Riff: right at the beginning of track 8 babey 4. Tyranny - Aeons ins Tectonic Interment. Best Riff: Track 5, starts at 5m53s. Yeah I knOw it's piano at first, but just give it like 30 seconds to build, please. 3. Malthusian - Below the Hengiform Yeah it's an EP, but it's good, so gently caress u!!! Best Riff: Track 3 at 3m38s. This might be the Riff of the YeaR, for me IMO 2. Vastum - Hole Below. Best Riff: Track 2 at 24 seconds 1. Mgla - Exercises in Futility. Best Riff: track 5 at 2m16s. This was a hard one to choose, because there are hell of extremely catchy and evil/nihilistic riffs on this album, which is why it's the best metal album of 2015. There were probably other records that would fill out a list and make a proper top 10 or whatever, but I didn't listen to them enough times, like Cruciamentum or Akhlys. There was also a lot of 'prestige' metal that I knew was going to be bad, So I didn't listen to it. stuff like Deafheaven and Leprous and all that garbage.

oversteps posted:The Vektor album is good and all, but good loving lord this Gorguts is some of the best music I've ever heard. I'm spoiled rotten by music lately but Pleiades' Dust is so good I've been poring over the artwork and lyrics all day long since the record arrived in the mail today. I just don't do that much anymore. I think it might be better than Colored Sands. The use of the long form is really uh useful; the quieter ambient/clean arpeggios are allowed go on much longer than they do in any other Gorguts record. This really gives them time to breathe and adds a kool ambiance. I've listened to the album like 6 times since someone posted a stream lol this album rules so much. New Vektor and Grave Miasma really rip, also. It's a good time to be alive IMO.
