Black Metal.

Spun the new altar of plagues the other day and the initial impression I got was pretty bland....Gotta give it a few more tries and see if it sticks.

Yeah, just gave this a first listen and found it very boring. Nothing stood out through the entire record. I really liked their first two albums so I'll give this a few more listens, but it sure feels like a dud on first listen.
 
I think I'm the only hipster black metal loving faggot on this board but I'll post the link for this new Deafheaven song anyway :)

I'll be getting this. WORLDS better than Roads to Judah. Even though I don't mind that record as much as I used to, it still sounds contrived, as though Deafheaven was still finding their voice in a genre they hadn't played before.

This is a much more honest composition, with plenty of intensity and tasty jams.
