BRAVE MURDER MAY TOURNAMENT

[J.]

yeah i noticed the swastika on the cover. dont worry, i dont subscribe to cancel culture

 

[Reign in Acai]

That band is deep throated more than MGLA. Vucks have a nice little racket going where they sell limited vinyls for a hearty pence. Fooqs prob heebs on the down low. :X

 

[Ellestin]

Scanning the new bracket on the quick. Ken needs a group hug.

Vemod vs Funeral Mist is breaking my heart but since my heart is in the right place, I'll go with the caress of arctic winds and the hexing of Northern lights.

Some lucky lad shilled almost a grand for this EP. Just to point out their rock star status in the funderground. (Not that it matters an iota ofcourse, just throwing it out there as an aside.)

 

[Reign in Acai]

Daughters is like being trapped in an elevator with a bunch of sweaty armos. Its an "experience," but an unpleasant one. Only made it half way through before I had to come up for air. The Armo stank started to singe both my nostrils and my lobes. (Got hair in both places, so not that difficult.)

Band should do the score for BME Pain Olympics: The Movie.

I've probably said this before, but you need to listen all the way to this song to understand that Daughters album. It's the rug that really ties the room together. It ain't an easy journey, but it's a damn good one when it clicks.

Also dudes I was fully planning on half-assing this voting round and just going with whatever I already liked but dammit, there's too many good albums. Scoped out several albums all the way through and...........dang. Some real weeenurz contained herein.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Well I continued, and I came away with nothing except bloody ears and a hatred for tournaments.

I appreciate what theyre TRYiNG to do, but this isnt for me in the slightest. Though I can see myself digging something in this sphere if it were RADICALLy different. There needs to be a juxtaposition to the cacophony. Let me take a deep refreshing flowery breath from time to time. This is just suffocation for near an hour.

Only song which I found that had any utility was "less sex." I could see a shortened version of that being perfect for one of those video montages commonly seen on FX dramas.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Sabbatrinity easily the best shit in this bracket (that I havent heard before.) Album fucking ripped!

 

[einride]

sabbat rules

but oh my fucking shit the amount of generic ass black metal riffs i have to endure in this tournament

 

[J.]

dont worry, Daughters and Kayo Dot will give you nice pleasant break from it

 

[Doom]

Only just started on this Hallas album and although it's not totally my thing, it's at least a bit of variety and breaks this listening up a bit. I'm gonna enjoy it until I have to put Nile on.

 

[Ellestin]

Hällas is fucking swell, I'm surprised to see them in the tournament. Who reco'd them? Ken ?

I've always respected StarGazer for their impressive skillz, but I've never really liked them (and yet I adore Misery's Omen... lol idk).

UNTIL NOW

This here Merging album is glorious. Keep the chops, improve the songwriting, worship the RIFF.

 

[einride]

stargazer is working out pretty well for me too, pleasantly surprised

 

[Krilons Resa]

Holy shit, this VOLA album is fucking AWFUL!!!

 

[J.]

LOL! I thought you reco'd that!

I was like "another gay Ken album"
