Tell me about it
Last week or so they were like "the album is tba and nothing is confirmed yet"

Nice album anyway

Guess that leaves no expecations to be blown that way, kinda.

Pretty unique sounding death metal from Mexico. The two songs available sound really good. It's hard to describe their sound, they go from playing fairly unusal riffs through to some full on melodic passages, and it works quite well.




A remix album of what's already one of my fave releases this year. Wasn't expecting that.




Synth black metal? It's weird. It's really chilled but has a black metal percussion and riff-style to it, but I'm pretty sure there aren't any guitars in this.




A band I forgot I liked until I clicked on the Bandcamp page and saw their previous album's artwork. Really good, dense ambient black metal. Only a sample available so probably one long song again, but appears to be part of a split.




Riff and lead-laden, frantic black metal with very nice approach to production.

Cosmic Atrophy are back! I recall them being pretty good Demilich style death metal. Haven't listened to the track yet.

K, listened to it on my phone speakers. Sounds like Demilich-lite with possibly way too many solos. Not bad though.

Oh shiiit I should have read the band name. I didn't think it was Chtilsaijjfia

I was very confused for a moment there

Barren Altar - Blackened Doom.

Hail! I'm not sure I would call what we do "Demilich-lite" but I appreciate the listen. There will be more coming very soon!

Lol well something sort of in the ball park that could be compared in sound to Demilich then. But yeah, I'll definitely be giving the whole thing a listen

Fair enough, they are a big influence on the band. But there is a vast variety of different flavors to be found here, I think. Not really down to one single band. When we have more to show you will see what I mean. The song I'm recording today sounds absolutely insane.

Ladies and gentlemen. Let me present to you to the real successor of Demilich's death metal approach

Exlimitir - It Weighed Itself In Silver[/i]

Seems it was about to be released by Caligari but got mixed up and got released under a different name now. Sounds great anyway.

Guys take it easy, I can't review THAT many albums. Or can I?

*points to camera* Let's find out!

New Sleep Terror. It's been a long time since I listened to them but I recall them being nice extreme prog / instrumental death metal. Haven't listened to this yet though.

Amarok - I am probably the only one reading this thread that likes this kind of doom so posting it for myself Its quite melodic doom and they had a split with one the best bands in the world Hell. Two quite lengthy songs streaming already but only one at their bc.

Great stuff!!!

Lol

I listened to the song that was available yesterday. It's not bad, I like the female screeching vocals. Needed some psychedelia or something to really interest me though (still pining for another Bloody Panda release).

New Grey Widow. Partially from my hometown and probably the heaviest band I've ever seen play there. "I" was a favourite when it came out, but it sounds like they've toned down the vitriol and heaviness for this one, but you can still expect some stoner-tinged ultra sludge here.




High quality, ultra-classic sounding OSDM. Nice.




Crusty deathgrind, for all your crusty deathgrind needs.




Soaring, melodic post-black with frenetic percussion and Emperor-ish vocals (and sweet art).




There was also a new Fukpig album thrown out. Has ex-Mistress and possibly Anaal Nathrakh members in if I remember right. Super fun, crusty black / grind / punk. Or as the bandcamp review rightly says: "Good soundtrack while kicking cunts out of the way in Asda."




Two EPs of very interesting journeys consisting of trippy ambient texturing and black metal. Excellent atmosphere created with these.



Play them at the same time to gain an audience with Oedon.

This year will be simple, I have settled for a meat and potato year. I can sense there will be a Three Knights of Great Potato relase this year. All nourished on meat and potatoes. Mournful Congreagation, which is excellent meat and potatoe, this potato and then Another potato and meat relase which I dont know yet.

This sounds kind of good but damn theres so many bands thats just an inch from this is in sound.

Microcosmys / La Torture des Ténèbres. New La Torture des Ténèbres Seems like a long split. This is best black metal if there is a genre like that, with a slight raw and industrial feel to it. Women! Theyre fucking awesome at doing metal.

I guess you could say it's pretty meat and potato

Found this on Spotify on the way home, though I realise now I rec'd their previous album in the 2017 thread. This one is less weird sounding, but the songwriting is absolutely top notch. Pagan folk influenced black metal with a strong, very high riff quotient, excellent shriek-style vocals, nice raw but clear production and chewy sounding bass.




Curious sounding death metal thing from Finland. It's hard to get a full idea of what approach they're going for with this track but could be good.

RIPIS - I like this and I am pretty sure that this will be liked by the semi big mass that isnt the biggest mass, but they dont read this thread so they probably catch up a couple of releases further down the line. Its standard doom with cleans, sounds a bit gaze at times but its great. And artwork is?

The finns are creating a distinct sound around tampere which isnt depressive black, its more like melancholic black. This album was from last year


But its this 2018 I want to rec, sounds very alike

Yesss, new EP from The Secret. Haven't listened to it but apparently it's very black metal, so may have lost their hardcore / grind / sludge edge, but I'm sure it'll be good.





Dissonant, chaotic and muddy death metal on Dark Descent.





This is now out in full. Ancient Moon knocks it out the park and Prosternatur does a solid effort on their side.




Don't know how I would classify this. Perhaps some kind of extreme prog with death metal touches. Liking it a lot though. Incredibly tight, technical but song-like approach, nice bouts of melody and Cynic and Darkane-esque clean vocals. No Bandcamp for these guys.

One of the first bands I ever reviewed for this site. They don't sound like they've changed much lel.

Looks like a great find when there is no bandcamp and no label, I can see only NCS has posted about this. Good album, spinning it now.

Yeah found it on NCS Just the kind of thing I needed to hear this year, to make a change from all the soundscape-y stuff.
