With all this prog and BTBAM talk, let me drop this here:

These lambgoat interviews are actually really well done.

 

I remember hating Paul back in the day, in his interviews he was always like prog guy douchy. It just sounded like he wanted people to know that he knew more theory than them.

Or maybe I'm just insecure because after 10 years I still can't do the sweeps in selkies, quite possible!

 

New Garganjua song is cool:

 

another killer release from one of the most underrated UK band, Fen

 

gave this one a listen the other day, very good

 

BODY COUNT

 

Doom-y, sludgy, almost grungy stoner metal:

 

The first one is dope as hell

 

I'm still working on mine, but does anyone have a top 10 for metal this year?

 

Full of Hell
Blood Incantation
Slipknot
Alcest
Cave In (it counts)
Baroness


Honestly a lot of metal I dug this year wasn’t from this year(YOB, Sumac, Death, Bolt Thrower etc).

 

Not sure if I can narrow it down...

Magic Circle
Hath
Smoulder
Traveler
Serpent Column
Vehemence
Blood Incantation
The Great Old Ones
Obsequiae
Wormwitch
Nile
Hellripper
Esoteric

plus there are like a million death metal albums that came out this year that are all blending together, but only because I haven't been able to give them the time that I have in previous years. That goes for many things, not just music. Kinda have had other big things going on over the past year.

But out of what I have listened to, those ones definitely stand out.

 

Oh yeah Traveler, and Venom Prison too

 

Hope everything is ok!

 

things are great! I've moved twice in the past year and also changed jobs twice, but I'm about to propose to the girl I've been dating for most of the year! Sorry my post was so vague haha

 

Congrats! I hope everything works out for you!

 

The first Magic Circle record kicks ass, I need to catch up with them

 

Here's Bandcamp's best of the year list, lots of familiar faces.

The Best Metal Albums of 2019

 

Thank you for the further reminder of how far I am behind on new music this year.

 

You and me both

 

Kids, jobs, and buying a house will do that to you. All great stuff mind you.

But at least my wife and son are letting me seeing Obituary tomorrow with a friend.

 

Hell yeah, take your son

 

I don't think 3 month olds and live death metal mix unfortunately.

 

At what age would you take your kid to a show?
