Metal 2018

[Krigloch the Furious]

Anyone heard the new Kalmah?
Should be here Friday

 

[The Ozzman]

New Nervosa out tomorrow. It should rule like the last one.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

New Gruesome arrives tomorrow!

 

[Dak]

Listening to new Kalmah now on YT. Not bad.

I'll have to check it out

 

[Bloopy]

Bridge Burner

 

[SweptbackFlame]

Little teaser from the new As I Lay Dying, personally I couldn't give a shit that he had tried to have his wife killed by hiring a hitman, people do some fucked up shit on roids. Everyone deserves a second chance.

[Slammed]

Its a fairly solid album for a first release

 

[Phylactery]

Been listening to some black metal from this year, and a lot of it has been less than impressive. Some people may like these:

Nachtfrost - Spectral Domains of Dusk





This is from Greece and seems quite cool upon a cursory listen! Definitely brings some riffs!

Cultus Profano - Sacramentum Obscuros



Competently played and conjures a vivid atmosphere but ultimately does too little to distinguish itself.

Obscurum - In the Mysterious Mist



Typical Eastern European black metal sound but the way that lead guitar is recorded is bizarre.

 

[Draehl]

Rather enjoying the new Alkaloid. Super catchy prog!

 

[Slayed Necros]

Artwork for the upcoming 7" split between Caedes Cruenta and Cult of Eibon is amazing:

 

[Phylactery]

Yeah that rules.

Did you listen to that Nachtfrost I posted? May be of interest to you.

Picking up the CD was an easy decision as I had a store voucher to use up. They're alright. As far as NZ goes, the bands at the milder/traditional end of metal now are infinitely better than their early 2000s equivalents, so they get my support.

I think they show potential, I was watching some of their earlier clips on YT and their music is getting better. The album may not make my top 10 for the year but it's going to be close. Apart from that I am a bit of a sucker for half decent local metal and anything good created over the ditch we'll claim anyway

 

[The Ozzman]

Apparently Burzum is done as a project

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

New Kalmah is pretty cool. Nice and catchy

 

[Slayed Necros]

Yeah that rules.

Yeah, not bad. Nice early 90s sound/feel.

I thought Varg confirmed that a few years ago?

I thought Varg confirmed that a few years ago?

Nah, it was finally confirmed on his YouTube channel. M-A says the split up year is 2018
