    yeah good okay Prestigious

    Is Pissgrave the band with "that" cover?

  2. I'm diving into Opeth's discography, currently on Deliverance, and I'm turning into a fan. There's something jammy about their instrumental sections.

    Correction. Pissgrave is the band with "those" album covers.
     
  4. Alright, here are 3 picks for today:

    Opeth - Deliverance: The entire album captivated me but this song in particular stood out. That long breakdown making up most of the outro goes so hard.
    Testament - Legions Of The Death: A few weeks back, it was reported Chuck and his wife were tested positive for Covid19. I don't remember if there have been updates since, but due to this, I've been thinking about this band a lot. The Gathering is my favorite album, and this song belongs in their top tier.
    AqME - Luxe Assassin: A recently broken up French band commonly affiliated to the numetal scene (even if they've always had a rockier edge). They've went on to include heavier instrumentation during their career. If you like alternative metal with slight sludge influences, this is for you.

    Guess I might try to post some French, Belgian or Swiss bands along the line

    Not familiar with Aqme but otherwise great picks! I absolutley adore the French Black Metal Scene, arguably the best there is so I can lead you down that path, while you can show me other French bands from other scenes! Glad to see you posting again!

    My three picks for today:

    Mongrel's Cross - Psalter of the Royal Dragon Court - The Thirteenth Card (@theagentcoma I know you like thrash but I am not sure if you have talked about this band much, black/thrash with an overt traditional metal influence. They got riffs on riffs on riffs.)

    Gnaw Their Tongues - Per Flagellum Sanguemque, Tenebras Veneramus - Urine-Soaked Neophytes (Sometimes all you want to do is die. And when you do, Hell will greet you with open arms. Cinematic Black Noise)

    Equilibrium - Sagas - Unbesiegt (@inspectorkemp you seem to have a fondness for anthemic folk metal. You probably know this one but if not I hope you dig it.)

    Last I heard, most of that tour package had been affected, but everyone seemed to be doing better. I heard a breif interview with Chuck a week or so ago and at least him and his wife sounded like they'd recovered.

    are we still lucky to be here? Prestigious

    My three for today:

    UADA - Devoid of Light - Natus Eclipsim (I'll always have a fondness for Dissection and bands that openly ape Dissection. These guys fall into the latter category.)

    Sick/Tired - Split w/ Triac - Adios (Chicago grindcore done right.)

    Suffering Hour - In Passing Ascension - Devouring Shapeless Void (Techy blackened death metal out of Minneapolis. Good band that blew me away with their debut full-length. Sounds like a mind flayer taking over your brain and rotting it to mush).

    Fucking love Suffering Hour. I spin that vinyl a lot. Procession to Obscure Infinity was no doubt one of my songs of the year for that year.

    Anyone heard from @Nate_Johnson recently? He hasn't posted in a couple weeks after having a front row seat here consistently for a few years so I was just curious.
     
  12. theagentcoma

    yeah good okay Prestigious

    Hmm it looks like his last post was over two weeks ago. Hope he's doing ok

    He's fine (at least as of Saturday afternoon). We chat back and forth on facebook messenger and he recently joined the staff over at Heavy Blog Is Heavy, so I think he's busy with that, plus work and family stuff.

    Good to know. I knew he worked in healthcare and with everything going on, I was just curious. We are a loving, inclusive community here after all (at least I think so, lol).

    Lord knows I can relate to the being busier with family stuff right now as well considering my 7-month old hasn't been to daycare in six weeks. There's a reason I barely post here on days I'm not working since I'm rarely at a computer otherwise.

    Finally got around to listening to this today, and it's an ambient track. Okay stuff, but probably won't be revisiting it since it's not the crushing, instrumental doom I love from them.

    Good to know, thanks for the heads-up. That's cool about the blog!

    Yeah, I put it on while working today and felt about the same. I'll probably add it to a playlist of ambient stuff that I listen to while working and my kids are napping.

    Hey everyone! As @KidLightning mentioned, my life has been a tiny bit crazy. As most of you know, I work in healthcare and on the front lines so unless you live under a rock, you can put two and two together! Also, yes I was offered a staff position as a writer and contributor over at HeavyBlogisHeavy.com! I haven't done a whole lot with them yet as I am still feeling it out but they have some incredible writers over there and they 100% have music that everyone here would love. They do everything from:
    Punk
    Hardcore (There will be more since I joined!)
    Death Metal
    Doom
    Grind
    Non metal music
    Post Rock/Metal

    Each writer has their own sort of specialty but nothing is off limits for anyone to write about/review.

    We recently published an article on Celtic Metal.

    If anyone would like to read my first official published article on the site, here you go!
    Hey! Listen to Mutually Assured Destruction!

    I have a couple things coming out this week including a review/interview with the band Earth to Heaven on Edgewood Records. I also have the promo for the new Xibalba and it is FUCKING HEAVY! I am going to try and get a review of the Mindforce EP out before the end of the week as well. How insane is that thing?

    I don't know at what capacity I will be back here but it's cool to see that I was missed! If you want to chat more, please join the sites facebook group and check out the site of course! I know @KidLightning joined and I think it's worth checking out. If I know something is coming and I am able, I will try and shed some light on it. We get just about everything.

    Heavy Group Is Heavy

    I hope you all are staying safe.

    Tell me what you all have been listening to!
