Guy on the cover of the new Spectral Lore album looks a bit like a slightly better drawn version of the stonks guy meme.

This any good J? I'm still enjoying the one from the tournament, need to try another one.
 
I have it but havent listened yet. Cuz i suck

If you like III, I would recommend the two splits with Mare Cognitum, "Sol" and "Wanderers".

Also, I personally think Gnosis is fantastic. You might also like Sentinel.

After just one listen, it's definitely more like Sentinel. Less finesse, more chaos. Less acoustics/ambient, more guitars on top of guitars. Song #4 really hit me hard. It's definitely a grower, so I look forward to more involved listens. Unfortunately, just like Sentinel, it ends with a long noise track that only gets semi-interesting towards the end with some light guitar strumming and ooooooohs and ahhhhhhhhhs.

In short, definitely worth hearing. Skip the last track.
 
Carcass reunion tour from 2008 was the single wildest show I've ever attended. Even the barstools at the back were moshing.

"Are there any Christians in here?"
*rumble*
"How about Muslims?"
*rumble*
"What about Satanists?"
*RRRRAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRR!!!!*

Speaking of bands with Witch in the name, this just came out last week. It rules. I also did the cover art, but that's not why it rules.

I haven't heard the new EP, but their last full-length is fucking awesome. The artwork is outstanding for all of the releases. "Poisoned Blood" is one of your coolest pieces ever.
