How is the Purtenance? I’m a big fan of the debut but haven’t listened to that one.

Well worth a listen, almost on the same level as the debut in my opinion. The production is very dense and heavy, and the band brings the crushing riffs and vocals, great drums that destroy, they really haven't lost their touch at all.

^ Some of the meatiest/manliest vocals and production on a metal album.

Only just now realized they released something this year. Most of their stuff since Tribe has been crap but eh giving it a shot. It's definitely corny and a little bit goth metal, but I'm kinda enjoying the bloopy keyboards those Castlevania basslines.

What did you think of Deceased's recent album? Didn't see you rate it on RYM. I'm predicting 3/5.

I'm going to give it a couple more listens before I rate. My initial impression was that it didn't sound like what I associate with a Deceased sound, until I remembered that they don't really have a single sound. The first song especially impressed me with all the crazy lead guitar in the foreground mixed in with a nice spectrum of heavy/black/thrash/death riffing, almost gave me Holocaust - The Courage to Be vibes at times but without the post-punk stuff, and there were other songs that seemed about as great. The issue I had with it is that some of the songs seemed a bit too long, not even so much out of pure repetition because the riffs seemed to move sufficiently quickly, but how they might have a really cool climax into a bridge, but then when going back to the initial verse/chorus they repeat the climax again a second or third time, which kind of ruins the impact. Like take Maiden's Children of the Damned or something, if Bruce did the "Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh" bit twice it would spoil the song.

Overall I liked it enough that I should probably at least put it in my 2018 list though. Potential 3.5, but maybe still a 3.

That's a pretty good summation of how I felt about the album too. The pacing was awkward as fuck. I like that the album has this general otherworldly weirdness to it, might be the way it was produced or just the way they're mixing trad riffs in with the death/thrash stuff that creates this cool "wrongness" to it all. Fucking old guys and their insistence on bloating things out of proportion though, it lacks virility.

... meh, wasnt that impressed and think that Cist ep completely blows it out of the water. But i still need to give it a few more spins to have a solid opinion.
