Metal 2014

[Baroque]

Out today:

 

[Eligos]

I love how this new Lantlos track captures both the heaviness and surreality of shoegaze. Not a lot of these trendy post bm bands can seem to achieve the former.

 

[Krow]

Pretty much every blackgaze/post black band has suddenly went to shit, and Im gonna really be bummed if they also head in that direction. That Hirax album looks badass. Too bad its thrash, really.

 

[Kara-Shehr]

New Lantlos out 2nd May.

Sounds pretty good, I would definitely like to hear more.

The Great Old Ones have a new one coming out in April. Their debut was Lovecraftian excellence and am hoping for more of the same with the next one.

Is it just me, or has nothing really exciting came out so far in 2014? Yes, I know its only two months in, but still...

1st post

A lot of people think Melo death is like candy ( in a bad way ) but I really like the new Words of Farewell album - The Black Wild Yonder.

7 or 8 out of 10.

Honestly was thinking the same thing about those bands. 2011 seems long ago. Petrychor might surprise later this year...

New Lord Mantis \m/. The cover is pretty awful but the track they put out is pretty solid.

 

[Krow]

Holy fucking shit the special edition of that The Great Old Ones album is gorgeous.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

New Lord Mantis m/. The cover is pretty awful but the track they put out is pretty solid.

Very nice. "Body Choke" sounds as filthy as ever. Pervertor is a great album, going to be a tough one to top.

 

[KafkaX]

I didnt even put two and two together until you said Pervertor.

Very weak album cover, but hopefully the album is just as dirty.

New Lord Mantis m/. The cover is pretty awful but the track they put out is pretty solid.

This is 100% Jef Whitehead (Wrest, Leviathan) art. Odd choice, but Wrest has done some great art over the years.

I actually liked the Mayhem track. Real throwback to the Moonfog/Thorns mid-90s sound. No point in trying to top the classic Mayhem material, but they can do better than the last few albums for sure. I'd like to hear more.

 

[Krow]

New traditional doom metal album coming soon

Ew, disgusting - an uncircumcised dick.
