What are you listening to?

[Cthulhu]

Wide Eyes - Advaita

Definitely one of the best albums (IMO) of last year. And the longest (1h 20 minutes), without varying in quality too much

 

[SoulReaper]

Nothing matters more now than PA now. Not even Kayo Shite.

Pagan Altar - The Erl King

 

[Dark Nation]

So Long farewell....

 

[Geostigma]

This is a Witcher 3 metal cover

It sounds really good and portions of it sound like it could have been in Deaths - The Sound of Perseverance, other portions are pretty much lifted out of Chuck Schuldiners tab book lol.

Over all its a pretty great track though.

 

[Keveh Kins]

Man in the Box - Alice in Chains

 

[Ⓐaron]

Deathspell Omega - [Si monumentum requires, circumspice #03] Sola fide II [7:51]

Wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

 

[vaderSW1]

Lamb of God "Still Echoes"

 

[Ⓐaron]

Deathspell Omega - [Paracletus #03] Abscission [6:07]

 

[Ⓐaron]

Mayhem - [De mysteriis Dom Sathanas #02] Freezing Moon [6:23]

Sometimes nothing beats the classics.

 

[SoulReaper]

Gorguts - Obscura

3 years already. Album wouldn't have sounded the same without him. Fuck.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Gorguts - [Obscura #03] The Carnal State [3:07]

This album wouldn't have been what it was without Big Steeve, that's for sure. R.I.P.

 

[SoulReaper]

Yep. Once I awkwardly talked with Luc after a Gorguts show about him, so awkward. But Luc's a great guy so I'm sure he thinks I'm not an asshole haha.

Arcturus - Game Over

 

[Ⓐaron]

Hopefully not.

Thoughts on new Arcturus?

Gorguts - [Obscura #06] Clouded [9:28]

Half the meter signatures on this album are too confusing for me to count them accurately. It's almost a surprise when a 4/4 passage creeps in.

 

[SoulReaper]

I think it's great, though Simen really should not write lyrics while being drunk (which he usually is on stage haha) Beam me up or suck my cock? Really? Seems a great year for Post Black Metal though (By that I obviously don't mean the WitTR wannabe bands) DHG, Solefald, Sigh, What's next?

Arcturus - Archer

 

[Ⓐaron]

That reminds me I still need to check out the new DHG, and I didn't know Solefald had a new one; I'll have to give that a listen too. But yeah, great year for avant-garde black metal. Sigh's new one is great too.

Gorguts - [From Wisdom to Hate #05] Unearthing the Past [5:00]

Love the nods to old songs in this track

 

[SoulReaper]

Satan's Satyrs - Die Screaming

I like the extremely shitty snotty shitpunk vocals. sue me.

 

[Ami]

Listening to Little Mix's new song Black Magic. Really liking it.

 

[SoulReaper]

Tribulation - Melancholia

Hellooooooo AOTY is that you? Also headline tour later this year with Morbus Chron and Vampire supporting. Fuck. Yes.

 

[Cthulhu]

sigh.

 

[SoulReaper]

Bohren > Sigh anydays

Stench - Venture

 

[Ⓐaron]

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs- [ゼロコンマ、色とりどりの世界 #05] Oneday [5:06]

Fuck all-caps titles; they’re hideous. The worst part is some weeaboos get personally offended if you don’t use them. You should have seen the shitstorm when last.fm changed DIR EN GREY to Dir En Grey (which admittedly isn’t a change anyone wanted; Dir en Grey or Dir en grey would have looked better). It made the Mayhem shoutbox look like a haven of intelligent discussion. If I were supreme dictator of last.fm I would purge all all-caps tags indefinitely (unless they were acronyms, like System of a Down's “PLUCK” or GZA’s “BIBLE (Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth)&#8221.

Jochim, have you taken a look at the last.fm beta yet? It’s awful.

 

[SoulReaper]

Annoying, luckily I don't listen to those bands. There are a few bands that I know are usually written in caps, such as YOB. But yeah most of the time it's annoying. What's wrong about the beta? Haven't checked it out.

Entrails - Bonestorm

Fuck yeah my first pink colored vinyl.

 

[Ⓐaron]

They removed the about me section in the profile and replaced it with some shitty advertising that even Adblock Plus won’t get rid of, shrunk the library display on the main page of the profile to five artists and ten tracks, made almost everything require way more clicks to access, and generally made the whole thing ugly as fuck. It looks like a badly designed mobile site now. There are a few nice features they’ve added (a time-based display of how many tracks you’ve played, for example, plus a list of your top albums on your main profile page), but they’re not worth the huge amount of things removed.

Is Yob supposed to be an acronym? If so I can forgive the all-capsing but otherwise it’s atrocious too.

Murmur - [Murmur #05] Zeta II Reticuli, Pt. 1 [6:50]

Album still hasn’t gotten old for me yet. I feel like I’m discovering new things every time I listen, and this is listen #45 or something. Definitely one of the highlights of 2014.

This band also changed to all-caps on last.fm for no apparent reason. The band doesn’t even consistently write their name in all caps.

 

[SoulReaper]

The about me thing I couldn't give a fuck about but it sounds like crap yeah. Well YOB always has been YOB to me and I've been a fan of them since 2004.

Bolzer - Zeus - Seducer Of Hearts

I now have all their works on vinyl thanks to the Roman Acupuncture reissue.

 

[Ⓐaron]

Morbus Chron - [Sweven #05] It Stretches in the Hollow [5:10]

Another 2014 release with a ton of staying power.
