Black Metal.

[Ryuuzaki]

New Agalloch album in November, titled 'Marrow of the Spirit.' Will be released by Profound Lore Records.

Awesome. I've been eagerly waiting for this.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

I am still waiting for the new Inquisition album to be released. It is really the only album of the year that I really give a shit about.

 

[SkeletonWitch]

I am waiting for the new Gris and Pensées Nocturnes.

Pensées Nocturnes.

Grotesque? Or is there another one coming out soon that I haven't heard about?

 

[SkeletonWitch]

The new one that no one heard about.

Btw, Vaccum > Grostesque.

Vaccuum was a great piece of dbm with classical influences, Grotesque was your run of the mill tryhard "interesting" and "intellectual" atmospheric post-black progressive dissonant jazz metal.

 

[damnromulans]

Is that so? Good thing I didn't get it then. I was hoping "Grotesque" would be similar to "Vacuum" but have worked out the tweaks, like the stupidly fake-sounding synthesized instrument sounds.

Fuck I'd shit brix if a new PN was gonna come out

No.

Grotesque is better IMO, although the first one I heard so I am partial to it but...still

 

[JontRevolting]

Nice. 2010 is winding up to be a great year.

Yeah you're not wrong,the last half is turning out some great stuff.

 

[Eligos]

I have a lot of catching up to do.

 

[VelociBrad]

new Maniac Butcher is great. return to their classic sound.

 

[scytheavatar]

Enslaved's Axioma Ethica Odini is their best work in years. Amazing fucking album.

I on the other hand is on the fence with it, I know that Enslaved has always sounded like Opeth but this is almost a ripoff of Morningrise era Opeth. I won't say that it's a bad album but I do think it's their weakest effort ever; that their weakest album ever is still badass shows what a badass band they are.

 

[Ryuuzaki]

I definitely like it more than Isa, Ruun, and Vertebrae.

 

[VelociBrad]

Didn't like it at all. Sounds like Porcupine Tree doing black metal.

 

[Eligos]

Why is that a bad thing? Genres should be played by all types of musicians.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

yes true but mixing prog and black metal is no simple task it could get fucked up easily i.e. enslaved's last couple of albums

 

[Eligos]

I'm not sure it's that difficult anymore, now that the foundation for it is established. We're talking about a combination that's been done and redone for 15 years. In the first and second waves it would have been more difficult.

Because I don't like Porcupine Tree's music lol

of course, of course, not saying its impossible Enslaved were adding prog elements into their music very early on. it was evident from the very first record especially on Eld.

but I just think on their most recent albums they've been more prog than black.

 

[brooks55]

Can't wait for Primordial's new album.

New Agalloch album in November, titled 'Marrow of the Spirit.' Will be released by Profound Lore Records.

Can't wait for either one.

 

[MasterOLightning]

If Morningrise and Porcupine Tree are comparison points for the new Enslaved album then I'm definitely getting it.
