"The Radial Covenant" - yeah, that's a guarantee for pseudo-intellectualism.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Oh, is it?

 

[romanticism]

Dude, I'm hip to you liking Obscura or whatever you want. I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's objectively bad music by some old standard. But don't deny pseudo-intellectualism that's blatantly there.

I don't exactly get what you mean. Are you saying its pseudo-intellectualism because no one knows what the fuck a radial covenant is? haha. Otherwise idk what you're talking about

 

[Pyro Stick]

Pallbearer are recording their second album. Cant wait for this one.

 

[Krow]

I assume he means it's standard practice tech death trying to sound smart with "scientific" names. That being said it looks cool and obscura is a tolerable tech death band for me, so I will at least check a few songs from that.

Yup.

 

[Westsiyeed]

Out today:

Nothing impressed on first listen but after a few more it's growing on me - some of the riffs really stand out; some of it still seems a bit flat.

 

[Carpe Mortem]

Anyone know any word on a new Arcturus album? It was supposedly coming out in December, and it didn't, can't find any recent buzz on progress or a renewed release date.

I've been looking out for that too; nothing about it's been on their FB page lately at all...

Not sure if this was posted earlier or not, but The Wiz are coming out with a new album. Stoked for this one.

 

[Krow]

Fucking hell. Been a fan of the wiz since I started listening to metal in high school. Knew they had been working on something but wasn't sure of specifics. Hoping it will be released in the US, so I don't have to preorder from the uk like I have the past couple.

 

[romanticism]

Out of curiosity, is it pretty common now to refer to them as "The Wiz"?

That interview makes me particularly hopeful this will be a fucking awesome one, said it's gonna be similar to Dopethrone and that's in my top three albums.

No clue. Just a habit instead of writing it out. Some of their merch says "The Electric Wizard" so I guess it isn't too far fetched.

New Mayhem song:

 

[Onder]

I will listen to that the second I get home. Don't even fucking tell me anything about it.

 

[Pyro Stick]
