Yippie

Anyone dig the new Viikate? ... also, how's the new Agalloch piece? I am going to be seeing them live soon so I figured I'd wait to hear it until I pick up the hardcopy at the show.

It's great. I really liked it.

They try to put in some innovative elements to their new EP, its fantastic and I suppose now their forthcoming full length album will be interesting to watch it out.

Darkjazz post metal, utterly amazing !


Bandcamp

I also recommend this album. If jazzy, sludgy, technical metal with lots of distorted sax excites you, then give it a listen (the album's name is A Lament for the Lamb. It is available for free at the band's bandcamp.

A Forest Of Stars and Agrypnie both are releasing new albums. July 20th and September respectively.

Hopefully will be good!

Those guys are really talented, they definitely deserve some love and I know this sort of stuff appeal to a lot pf MSers here

Progheads this is for you. Distorted Harmony's Utopia is just a brilliant and beautifull album. One of these reminder that Prog is still alive and kicking.

Stupidly heavy and slow, hot dual-female fronted doom from Oxford, England:

It's totally my kind of thang 8] will be seeing them support Pagan Altar in a few weeks time.

Just found this, some more good Italian BDM, features the drummer from Putridity. If you like them then vote them up in Suggestions...

Meeh. I don't know if that kind of sounds and "energy" can work live.

Slow, heavy music is usually much more enjoyable than fast, noisy music I find. Nothing is lost in the translation and the increased volume is most pleasing ;]

Zombiekrig's Den Vänstra Stigens Ljus kicks ass. Thrash with hints of black and heavy metal.

Link us up then!

Great recommendation by Dizzeke. I love this Zombiekrig track. First time hearing it.

I always feared it would break the whole personal vibe I get from listening to anything slow and buzzy or atmospheric. I guss it could be pretty nice to watch a whole crowd caught in a ditorsion trance.

I know it was originally released in 2011, but Beastwars will now do a worlwide release of their self-titled debut and here is the first clip. If that don't win video of the year, I'll be damned.

Der Weg Einer Freiheit released a new album too. Black Metal from Germany.

Also, South African BM band Wildernessking released their debut album on February 23rd and a new EP on June 27th. A very young band, formed in 2011. Worth to check them out!

Good shit! Nice find Dizzeke, and thanx for the link Turbanator. Love that production and guitar tone, very 80s thrash/speed... \m/

Yeah these kind of bands are very rare!

Some fine death/doom from Australia. Futility - The View From Here --> Bandcamp

I finally got around to listening some previously recommended bands like Conan, Huata and Obisidan Sea. In the process, I also discovered a bunch of promising albums. I haven't listened to any of them entirely, yet, but three seemed especially interesting (check more in my 2012 list):

Old school death doom band Derkéta:


Northwinds blend progressive rock and doom metal:


Earthen Grave play doom taking cues from heavy metal. Incorporates a world class violinist to some really good effect:

Chrome Waves just released their EP. Here's a track:
