Ugh, so good. I'm sure I've said this before (either here or the old Opeth forum), but I was at show a few days later in Worcester, and it's probably my favorite Opeth concert to date—in my top three, for sure. Getting to see "April Ethereal", "The Moor", and "Blackwater Park" in one show was a...

Tomb Mold - Prestige of Rebirth I sure hope you get to make that trip someday! As you've heard/can imagine, there's plenty of stuff wrong here, but there are some majestic sights. Speaking of travel: I actually just came back from a trip to Seattle for Northwest Terror Fest—even with last...

Reeking Aura – Seed the Size of a Spider's Eye Many thanks, Martijn! I was actually in the far less famous Vancouver—Vancouver, Washington—which is the first city one hits when crossing the bridge between Oregon and Washington. I lived out there for a little over seven years, but the vast...

Ludicra – Veils I never caught them when they were an active band, so I'm terribly excited to see them next week at Northwest Terror Fest. (I mean, unless something goes awry, which is certainly possible in this COVID times.) Also, hey. Hope you're all well.

I'm glad we can all count on Joakim to keep Bloodbath informed that—eighteen years after the start of this thread—we're still opposed to them changing their logo. (Hope you've enjoyed having the forum house almost entirely to yourself.)

My two favorite LPs from this year were Fiona Apple's Fetch The Bolt Cutters and Napalm Death's Throes of Joy in the Jaws of Defeatism. They both represent, in my eyes, resiliency—veteran musicians continuing to make not only relevant art, but some of the best they've created. Also, as I...

Checked it out after you mentioned it and, yeah, that song is a fucking earworm; Courtney LaPlante knows how to write a vocal hook. Coma Cluster Void – I Breathe an Awakening

Lykotonon – Thrown Into The World Members of Wayfarer and Blood Incantation formed a new band and released this excellent EP. (@MadTinus, this might be up your ally.)

Picked up the new Akurion, Imperial Triumphant, Khthoniik Cerviiks, and Krallice albums. Haven't had a chance to listen yet, but I've read good things about all of them, so I'm excited. Work's been crazy lately, so my daily soundtrack has been mostly on the softer side, e.g. Bada – s/t, Hum –...

Congratulations on the Invisible Orange feature, and the Karl Sanders guest spot! (That has to be at least a bit surreal, right?) Anyway, the song is very good, and I just ordered Sermon of Apathy from Bandcamp. Looking forward to hearing the rest of it.

Ulthar – Churn

We may be talking past each other now. My point continues to be that I don't think any of what you've posited stands a legitimate reason to view an entire race as lesser than any other. You said earlier that you "...have no doubt there are countless blacks that are better than me." Well, when...

Old Man Gloom – By Love All Is Healed

I didn't say other minorities aren't treated poorly, and by no means did I mean to imply that. (There was a video recently of some white woman telling a Native American to go back to her country, and you can be rest-assured that COVID-19 hasn't done much positive for this country's relation to...

Almyrkvi – Managarmr This split between Almyrkvi and The Ruins of Beverast is quite good.
