let's address how niklas sundin (ex-dark tranquillity) released a space-ambient black metal album

[einride]

i don't rightly know what to say about this yet, i just discovered that it exists like fifteen minutes ago

 

[Ellestin]

this is weird and generally not enjoyable, gimme Darkspace over this plastic retro wave stuff any hour of the day

 

[NAD]

Darkspace is the first thought I had before listening. I have one of those albums and that's plenty for me.

Pulsar 4 is pretty decent. Nice album artwork.

Im good with Midnight Odyssey and Spectral Lore but I will check it out

 

[Ellestin]

Midnight Odyssey's Biolume part II is supposed to hit soon

Strigae is also some pretty good grotesquely underproduced vacuum cleaner space metal

 

[einride]

re: the album in the OP: apart from the usual critique (the mastering is fucking bullshit) it sounds rather fragmentary and unfinished, like a riff tape for something that could have become something greater

i like track number 2 but i feel like it ends just when it's getting ready to go somewhere

and i do think niklas sundin still has a knack for some interesting melodies tbh


re: spacey ambient black metal, this is my jam

 

[Ellestin]

Yup Trist, haven't listened to this in years

 

[J.]

Isnt that one of the lunar aurora lads?

 

[Ellestin]

Yes it's Aran

 

[einride]

Yes it's Aran

first name Samus? finally the space metal thing makes sense

 

[Ellestin]

I had to look up that reference. I might need to ramp up the geekage some.

 

[einride]

sorry, im a big nerdy mc nerdface
