Albums currently kicking your ass

[The Butt]

Daaamn. This album meshes genres incredibly well. Classical, folk and BM all work seamlessly. (Aquilus - Griseus)

Does it utilize folk in the usual tacky "look at us we use accordians and flutes" way? Or classier and more subtly, like Agalloch or Wodensthrone?

I'll give it a go either way, but I usually get put off when I hear folk in my metal.

The latter. It's mostly via acoustic guitars. Reminds me in a way of the Diablo Tristram tracks or maybe even early Ulver-esque? In any case the metal/classical influences are bigger than the folk.

Sold.

Man, this album is so much fucking fun.

Is this new? I definitely need to get to it soon, I love Horna.

you can hear it in full here. the gatekrashor thing i posted on the previous page is even better and has similar appeal!

I listened to it, loved it, listened again with more moshing and am going to check out the gatekrashor tonight. Sweet start to my catching up

It came out this year. Definitely one of the best albums of this year.

awesome! i haven't actually posted a list yet, still checking out some stuff i missed. there's been plenty of good releases this year, though i've heard nothing that's good enough for, say, that modern classics thread IMO

God fucking damn! This album is intense!

There's alot I still haven't got to that I have lined up already. Ahab is first today.

I haven't looked through that thread yet. I will, but nothing I heard the first half of the year struck a classic nerve with me.

Building With Fire is a masterpiece. Remarkable piece of music.

 

[dwellerINTHEdark]

They killed it live this past summer.

 

[Krow]

Impetigo style deathgrind... If it wasn't obvious from the artwork and band name.

 

[CiG]

I approve.

 

[Draehl]

Yes @ Vexovoid.

Morbus Chron - Sweven

 

[no country for old wainds]

[dwellerINTHEdark]

Rully good Norwegian black metal.

 

[Krow]

Saw someone post this a bit ago. Rotten old death doom. Good album, saw it for $5 on Black Friday. Had to pick it up.

Yeah man caught those guys live in a Florida brewery a few months ago and they sounded tight. Got a shirt with that badass album art too.
