Metal 2017

[Krow]

For Doom the Bell Tolls is a mess because its 37 minutes long, 5 minutes of instrumentals, 5 minutes of a venom cover that isnt good... and 3 songs. It should have been an ep. Strip it down to a 27 minute cassette and I at least wouldnt feel so cheated by what it cost. Literally the most disappointing thing I've bought this year.

Edit: I didnt expect Broken Hope to sound like slam.

Hey @CASSETTEISGOD is that 777 song a single from a full length? I eat that shit up. It's weird that all the people that used to trash talk the whole occult doom rock thing seem to be gone.

Yeah I have a few of their albums. The riffs aren't as compelling on this track, seems more like their Become the Sun material. For Egypt albums I'd go:

S/T
Endless Flight
Cyclopean Riffs
Become the Sun

I'll check out the rest of the album when it's released though, thanks.

But yeah Endless Flight is a very close second. These guys are masters of the blue-based stoner rock/doom riff, it doesn't get much better in the style. Add in those passionate/well-timed vocals and you have what would be a classic if this genre had more followers. Sci-fi lyrics are a bonus.

Cryptic Brood - Slurping Reeking Slime
(Gore-soaked death/doom from Germany.)

Insulters - Bang your Fucking Skull
(Spanish black/thrash madness.)

Disma - The Graveless Remains
(Mid-paced, glacial death metal mastery from New Jersey.)

Hellwell - It's Alive
(Doomy progressive heavy metal and side project of Mark from Manilla Road.)

Cruthu - The Angle of Eternity
(Slightly psychedelic true doom from Michigan.)

Confess - Strange Kind of Affection
(Classic speed/heavy metal from Sweden with a possible mainstream appeal.)

Moongates Guardian - I Sit Beside the Fire and Think
(Epic Tolkienite black metal with a heavy lean towards atmosphere.)

Steel Seal - Never Die
(Neoclassical power metal from Italy.)

Lord Vigo - Great City in the Sky
(Epic Teutonic doom metal!)

Fatherland - Tämä Kansa
(NSBM from Finland, I've spun this one a lot and each time I like it even more.)

So after you asked I went to their Facebook to see if there was any information, all I could find was a fan asking if there will be an album and they responded by saying "later this year" so I suppose it is a kind of teaser single. They're pretty mysterious as a band though.

Yep, already heard that new Hellwell. I also just realized that E.C. Hellwell is just Mark Shelton's pseudonym.

New video of Nergal's side project.

@CASSETTEISGOD thanks for the info

I have that Insulters album btw but haven't got to listen to it yet. It comes in a package like a 7" vinyl.

That's random, but yeah I didn't even know it existed, let me know whether it's worth buying once you jam it.

Two whole songs from the original Alice band too.

Awesome, here's hoping it kicks arse.

Fans have grown to expect the dark, more mysterious vibe from Alice Cooper, but don’t let the Paranormal title deceive you as “it’s not really a scary record.” The singer mentioned the title means “other than normal,” which is a testament to the nature of this new collection of songs.

No longer seeking hit singles and high-selling records as “the golden age is over,” this one is for the fans.

[CiG]

Exactly what I was thinking, for the fans? Intriguing...

 

[CiG]

Hey baby, dig whatever you dig. I was only trolling you.

 

[CiG]

Ouch, that sounds GROSS.
