Probably because Alex Poole from Chaos Moon did some writing in it

Nice! I definitely see the benefit of that here.

Diggin' that cover art. Might be enough to convince me to check out the music.

I checked out the music because of the artwork too. I think you'll like the music

Where's JOOE...?

Well this is certainly something. Not sure what that something is, psychedelic, avant-garde droning something for sure, but it's pretty damn great. Nice to see women making music that would terrify most men.

Massive Blut aus Nord vibe with those riffs in the first few tracks.

Hail Spirit Noir - Oi Magoi

Amazing Prog/Psych Black Metal(ish) and a really solid contender for one of the best of 2014.

Amazing prog grind with a personality. OUYYYEEEAAAAAA.

Sort of a technical and pretty bleak/chaotic death metal. I kinda like it

Bandcamp

I should love that record ^ being that's it's weird death metal and on Profound Lore, but something about it doesn't sit well with me. Sounds messy and the vocals are pretty iffy to my ears.

Some potentially nice sounding black metal of varying types - modern, French and orthodox-y, heavy and thrashened, "depressive" and ambient, peculiarly atmospheric and contemplative and the last one a bit more difficult to describe. Starts off with a 4 minute intro of stupidly murky lo-fi black metal then switches up to something better produced, nice riffage and and generally pleasant sounding stuff. And from Lithuania of all places.



Black metal bargain bin bonus! Actually this is pretty decent. Has a nice classic sound to it, though pretty standard. I'll put it here anyway.

Another case for "that" thread then. xD

Definitely. I might go back and give it another go at some point, though I'm already drowning in new music...

Oops. There's new Jute Gyte release and I wasn't even aware

That was sweet! Thanks for sharing it.
Are you going to make a list this year, man? (Sorry in advance if this has already been asked of you by countless other users).

New side project of Primitive Man's leader, described as death metal/grindcore/crush. Sounds pretty intense, as expected:

Much obliged. :3
As for lists; nah, not really. Real life obligations have become a handful, and I prefer not to make one half-heartedly/just on a whim. I appreciate the inquiry, nevertheless.

I hear you, man. I didn't realize just how hectic my life would become, so I might just delete my list entirely. I'm not adulting hard enough!

Swiss deathened (I love saying that) black metal. Sounds rather nice going by this. Restrained and atmospheric.



Here's another song. These guys are definitely good.

More Swiss music. This time some rather heavy sounding drone doom. Good drone is pretty hard to find these days and this doesn't sound too bad.

Cool album from the Negative Plane drummer. Definitely makes the wait for a new Negative Plane album a bit more tolerable.

Sounds ok. I definitely prefer where they eventually took their sound though as they evolved from that.

New Agalloch!

Well apparently this is a melodic death metal band. If it is then it's the first of its kind I've enjoyed in a long, long time. Really ballsy sounding, punching rocking guitars, great bassy interludes, scorching black and death metal vocals and lots of amazingly well executed psychedelic keys playing underneath everything else. Seriously fun stuff and a million miles from the generic melodeath scene.

Found this via cvlt nation. Seriously intense and good black metal demo.
bandcamp

That sounds rather excellent ^

Also just found something for prog / avant fans. Not my usual type of music but this sounds pretty excellent with great clean vocals that remind me a little of Noekk. Nice music video too.

yeah there's a whole thread about it

Another owl song streaming here
Edit: it's the whole EP, not just one track.

Closure in Moscow - Pink Lemonade (Alternative Prog Rock) .:: http://closureinmoscow.bandcamp.com/releases ::.

Kind of a fresh take on a genre thats been grasping tightly to a very specific formula. It reminds me a little bit of The Mars Volta, fans of that band will probably notice the similarities.

Sickmark has a new 7", Powerviolence from Germany.
