New song from the upcoming Wodensthrone album.

Consider me underwhelmed.

Consider me underwhelmed.

To be honest I realised recently that their debut was really nothing special. I doubt I'll give the new one much attention. I suspect it'll be another one of those atmospheric black metal albums that are falling out of the sky in droves

Judging by that song I don't even think it will be that good.

Xlix, a depressive BM band from Japan. Preetty solid.

(the first song of the player. I hate when labels don't put Mp3s next to the album on their website.)

A band that will surprise you at every turn: Mazaru. Don't know if it should be here or in the rock section, but the Metal passages are there so...

Just discovered Ice Dragon. Bluesy Doom Rock/Metal à la Sabbath. Really great stuff



you can buy the album for whathever the hell you want right here

Blackened brutal death metal, three-man outfit from the United States, 11-minute EP. Melts your face and doesn't require a lot of time to do it.

Face melted after the first song. Overwhelming.

Promo single of an album to be released in May. Avant Guarde from Chili.

Actually... pretty fine stuff. I only skimmed it because it's 4.30am but I like what I heard (aside from the vocals on the second and final tracks, too europop for my tastes, I rather like the pure instrumental approach). Will give a proper listen tomorrow but sounds like great instrumental (mostly) cyber progressive metal, even if it's admitedly not the sort of thing I would usually go for.

Of course a potential issue with this is the artwork's striking similarity to Amorphis' 'Eclipse' album

Another huge, kickass album from Ufomammut:

Quality! Thanks for this. Similar to Electric Wizard too.

Apologies if this has already been posted.

Australian band Nous released their first EP called "Eobiont" which is pretty fucking excellent. Recommended. Experimental Sludge Metal.

Yeah I did on the last page =P

I didn't post this though: Excellent black/doom metal called Hivelords. Ep can be listened to and bought at a "name your price" price at their Bandcamp.

They never disappoint at any level. Amazing stuff.

Great music and a heady start in the death metal career.

ah man sorry then. Might have missed it then. Love that EP though, very good stuff!

The new Dol Ammad is pretty good, Symphonic/Electronic metal if that floats your boat:

Who wants some super-obscure atmospheric black metal done right (if not original - more than a few WitTR leanings here)? Sure you do:

Stopped listening to Inverloch for this. Pretty awesome.

It's surprisingly nice. Truth be told this is the only song I've heard so far so I can't speak for the whole album but I have a feeling it'll be grand.

Still not sure about that Inverloch. It's definitely good but not sure just how good.

Reminds me of the latest Asphyx. I really like it but it still lacks in certain areas - mainly originality.

Hey guys, check out this new project on a new indie label from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Decent shit for sure. I'm digging the balance of raw, chaotic aggression and the laid-back, more relaxed approach.

+1 from Kingston, Ontario.

Seems like a pretty nice place for an up-and-coming label. Congrats and best of luck!

I posted this in the post/sludge/atmo thread but it is sooo good (my album of the year so far in 2012) I wanna let others know.

Instrumental post-rock/atmo/shoegaze not unlike Alcest and Les Discrets (I believe a band member is from Lantlos)

The main man in Lantlos actually. I believe this is some stuff they wrote ages before and now decided to release it, and I also remember reading that Liam is probably over

Thanks for the info Inner! I read that the band had some songs done, stopped for a while and decided to finish the record after they were thru with school. So maybe the persistance indicates they are serious about the band and won't break up.

On it.

Man, I remember Líam from absolute years ago before the blackpostgaze boom ('My Journey to the Sky' I think). I actually liked that kind of thing back then. Might check out the new one for posterity.
