Regarding the new DSO, I find it to be strong, but unspectacular. It's engaging, but doesn't really provide much new. Perhaps more listens will reveal something special, but thus far I haven't found it.

I don't think I've ever listened to Velvet Cacooon.
Been on a Countess binge lately. The Book of the Heretic is still my favorite album by the band and, contrary to popular opinion, I love the obtrusive bass.

The Shining Swords of Hate and The Book of the Heratic are his best. With the newer releases, it a bit of a "you've heard one, you've heard them all."

retarded is definitely the best word to describe countess. he(/they) is so far removed from conventional ideas of what makes good music that i'm not convinced he's even aware of those conventions. which is sometimes awesomely weird but also sometimes really, really terrible.

Song premier from Pillorian, the band started by Agalloch singer John Haughm. It's actually pretty dang aggressive and awesome.

What are people's thoughts on the new Ash Borer? It's really growing on me. I hear a lot of influence from the Polish scene on this record (Ohtar, Veles, Thoth), which you don't hear often enough outside of that scene. At the same time, it maintains that erie and majestic sound that characterizes Cascadain black metal.

I enjoyed it and all but wasn't impressed. Typical atmo black that didn't force me to pay attention.

Good, but not great. Fyrnask, while a little more ritualistic/melodic completely blew them away this year.

So I finally got my copy of Arizmenda - Despairs Depths Descended today. Anyone else heard it or even know anything about it?
It's the second album they released last year. The first being limited to only 50 cassettes. This one was released as a cd for the first time ever for the band. It has the same number of tracks and is within three minutes of the other album so I was wondering if this was a reworked version or something. Cant listen to it until I get home though, and I dont have Beneath This Reality of Flesh.

I didn't even know about it. I have one of the 50 copies of BTROF (was at the release show, which was amazing), but honestly, I think its his weakest release to date. Vocals sound a little squeaky and are too far forward in the mix. The riffs are a little thinner and resulting in less atmosphere. There are parts of it I like, but overall, it's a letdown.
