I'm liking tracks 2, 4, and 5 the best--a little more dynamic than the others--. On topic--the two most underrated albums in funeral/death/doom are Farmakon and Rapture--thoughts?

On to other 2021 releases (long post ahead)



^^ high quality dutch bm


lofi dutch bm


Absolutely twisted and crazed black/death/doom do it.


lofi symphonic bm--fun


^french bm with some dynamic riffing


polish bm with solid dynamics drenched in reverbs


finnish weirdo black/death that sounds greek--weird


fun american bm with some bounce (the hype is justified)



Upstate NY weirdo bm post-punk/folk --lots of upfront bass. One of the most pleasant surprises of 2021--


electro industrial - do it.

Longer tracks:

^^ this band is evolving nicely-a dynamic cohesive album


bm with a heavy dose of electronics (guy from kaatayra)


They had another release earlier this year, this one has a lot more ambience --but really well done atmosphere


ritualistic black/doom--do it.



^^ bm with some native american influences (like a lofi nechochwen--solid dynamics, some acoustic parts-good stuff-fun surprise of 2021


^^ From the same label -- shorter form songs --acoustic interludes are fantastic -- love the band name

some death metal:

I own the Acausal Intrusion. Good shit that makes Gorguts sound weak. I will check out the rest during my graveyard shift. Dont wanna scare anyone.

These are a couple that I've thoroughly enjoyed from this year

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

I'm gonna need that Devoid of Thought

Yea that acausal intrusion is great stuff--love that snare sound. Also forgot to post that Disenchanted--now I don't have to!

On topic--the two most underrated albums in funeral/death/doom are Farmakon and Rapture--thoughts?

i'm about ready to agree with this

both are huge investments in time and attention if you're going to absorb them properly but they are rewarding if you do

i barely ever listen to farmakon because it's kind of draining but i appreciate its quality

New Mystras in early November.

 

[spikes77]

Loving this one recently:



and also new KD is awesome--above and beyond their last few albums--and definitely a grower (I can say that now that jerry is gone right?)

 

[Doom]

This is going to be a 2022 release, but whatever, new band The Halo Effect featuring Mikael Stanne, Jesper Stromblad and other notable former members of In Flames. The first song sounds much more DT than In Flames to me. It's alright I guess.

 

[SonOfNun]

Not bad. Would be nice if they actually sounded like earlier In Flames but that was never likely I suppose.

 

[Bloopy]

One from down this way for the Type O Negative fans. Can be downloaded for free:

 

[Doom]

I'm listening to the new Fluisteraars album which I just found out about yesterday.

 

[SonOfNun]

Currently checking out the new Hounds of Hasselvander. One of the most blind purchases I've made in a long time.

 

[J.]

I ordered my first 2022 album from amazon, who promptly failed to deliver it when they said they would.

 

[DarkGift]

^Passenger's a great song, but the rest haven't really clicked. Guess it's probably a grower, like the previous album.
