Grindy death thrash out of Texas featuring members of PLF and Blaspherian. Their debut album is coming out on Dark Descent in December.

 

Hoping to see them this weekend with three of my favorite local Dallas bands...
Oath of Cruelty, Cleric, Steel Bearing Hand, Kombat

 

Has anyone been listening to Wilderun's Veil of Imagination? I can't get enough of this album; it's probably my favorite metal album of the year. Kind of like old school Opeth with an orchestra.

 

I enjoyed it, I'll need to give it another listen

 

I would probably think about going to this if I hadn't already committed to Maryland Deathfest next year. Pretty solid lineup thus far. It's nice to see Kowloon Walled City and Obsequiae making it out east.

 

This band is so so talented but I can never finish an album. I think the issue is me in this case lol.

 

Haha. I’m the exact opposite; once I start listening, I can’t stop. Their compositions are just so beautiful. I really like what they did with the piano in this release.

 

I should clarify what I said about Lingua Ignota being ranked #2 on the Decibel list. It's a great album. Intense, visceral, haunting, raw. It has more emotion in one hour than some bands achieve in their entire discography. She's classically trained and it shows, and I support the message she is trying to spread as a survivor of abuse. I also don't doubt that her live show has to be one of the most intense performances ever. She apparently hits herself to the point of getting bruises and describes each show as an "exorcism."

I just don't see how a darkwave/noise/experimental album gets the #2 spot on a metal list. There are harsh vocals throughout but a metal album that does not make.

Anyways it's not for me. I've listened to it twice. The harsh vocals are grating to me but her voice is nice other than that.

 

I appreciate what Lingua Ignota's doing but I can't get into that album at all. Which is weird because usually I'm all over metal-that-isn't-metal but that's on me I guess. Blood Incantation being #1 is a pretty predictable move too. There's another case of "I appreciate what they're doing, but I can't get into it at all".

Really I feel like Decibel's year-end lists have been kinda meh the past couple years or so, there tend to be some pretty glaring omissions.

Can we just cancel Nergal because he's a fucking idiot at this point?

BEHEMOTH Frontman Says He Lied About Getting Kicked out of YMCA

 

I mean this is Chorus...

 

Good lord. That's the type of shit people think is funny when they're 15. I normally loathe to use this word, but straight up, that is some serious cringe.

 

thall, i believe is what the kids say.

 

I've never seen Tool before and always wanted to, but have 90% lost interest between Maynard's controversy and not really liking Fear Incoulum at all, but I still decided to look and see what tickets were available and for how much... there are 3000+ people ahead of me in the ticketmaster queue though. Oh well, happy to save the money.

 

Even after waiting 24 minutes, there are still 1200 people ahead of me. Why/how does Tool STILL have such high demand for their concert tickets? For the last 20 years I've never been able to get tickets to their shows despite being there right when they went on sale. I'm sure the visuals are cool or whatever but there are soooooo many other bands that are better live performers. Hell, Maynard hides when he performs.

 

It's just a mystique thing I think. Also people people are probably hyped about seeing new songs for the first time in thirteen years. And their live shows are pretty unique visually speaking, or at least it was when I saw them in 2007.

That being said, fuck Maynard.

 

On another note, I saw Cloak, Uada and (little bit of) 1349 last night.

Uada was fantastic. Cloak was pretty good too. 1349, not my thing.

 

Pretty bad haha
