Saw Nuclear Tomb open for Horrendous in January, they were great. That was a killer show.

THE ONLY GOOD BAND IS MANOWAR

1mo

Was at that show in Baltimore too. Great show yeah. Seen them a bunch of times now and they always kill. They have a record release show in DC in June, definitely go if you can! Also playing MDF and at the Desolus release show in May.

1mo

I'll be at MDF. I try to get to as many shows as I can but live in Baltimore and rarely make it to DC (going for Wayfarer though). I just caught Desolus opening for Mortuous Wednesday, also a cool band.

1mo

Selbst is good although it's got some singing on there which threw me

So which is your favorite dead baby with branches/tentacles coming from a hole in its face album from today?

Selbst's Despondency Chord Progressions or Atræ Bilis' Aumicide?

I haven't checked out Atræ Bilis yet, but really enjoyed Selbst. I hadn't listened to them before today but they have a cool balance of dissonant to melodic you don't find often.

Damn, lol they are damn near the same thing. Down to the hole in the face an everything

1mo

Those are two completely different bands so hard to compare IMO

MasterShake1441

1mo

It was mostly just a joke about their oddly similar album art.

1mo

Ah, gotcha

New Antichrist Siege Machine is c'est magnifique - been enjoying that all morning.

This ASM album will be on my end-of-the-year list. It's everything you could want from an album in this genre. Top notch from start to finish. The singles scared me a little, but when listened to as a whole it just works.

Really vicious music, might be my favorite release from ASM.

High in Fire and Dvne new albums are top shelf for me. Have some more to get through still but these are up there with my favorite releases of the year so far.

FeastOfBlaze

DEATH METAL OR DEATH... Or Genesis.

1mo

Great week for death metal. Coffin Curse, Uttertomb and Engulfed have all put out excellent albums.

Kawir's new one might take me a minute. I like it, but miss some of the stately folkiness of the previous few.

BahhhhGawwwwd

1mo

I had my doubts about the new Kawir when I first heard the single. I'll still jam it, but it's definitely a disappointment from their last album.

Curmudgeon

1mo

Kawir's new one might take me a minute. I like it, but miss some of the stately folkiness of the previous few.

I think it's the worst album they've put out, honestly. Really generic black metal with the same drum tempo in almost every song, to a degree that it made me wonder if it was a drum machine. The folky instrumentation is also almost entirely absent.

Sounded like your basic run-of-the-mill newcomer black metal band, and that's a really bad sound for a band as established as Kawir.

DoomAxe

1mo

Coffin Curse and Engulfed are both killer. April in general has been a ridiculous month for death metal. In addition to this week's releases, we got new Necrot and Witch Vomit on the traditional death metal side and Antichrist Siege Machine, Heresiarch, and Diabolic Oath on the black/death side.

Fucking Speed and Darkness

1mo

Yeah that was my big issue with the new Kawir, like I still thought it was good but a step down from their last album cause I love the big epic folky moments with Kawir

zackflag

1mo

Huh, haha I actually think the new Kawir is the best thing they've done in quite some time. Maybe ever. Though I like my black metal fast and aggressive and prefer it when the folky elements are subtle so...

The new In Vain is solid as is normal for them. Excited to check out the new Dvne when I get home from work today.

Curmudgeon

Another decent release today is the second album from a Finnish black metal "super group" Bythos. Premiere on BMP's YouTube in a couple of hours, but the full release is already out on Spotify.

High quality Finnish black metal. Does everything you want a black metal album to do.

My Dying Bride have cancelled all 2024 shows and dropped off MDF

1mo

Another great Finnish release today was Korpituli - Pohjola

InKulturVeritas

1mo

Satanic North sound great too.

HughWonPDL2018

1mo

Someone posted a Nuclear Tomb song a few days ago, apparently that album is out today. Really good tech/thrash tinged death metal, think Pestilence/Suppression/Miscreance type stuff, but I’d say a bit bouncier.

ANGRY_BEARDED_MAN

1mo

Yeah, it's good stuff. Aggressive, riffy, just enough weirdo shit without going totally off the rails.

LadyDelacour

1mo

Jeeeesus the new Antichrist Siege Machine is a heater! Also new Bongripper, Dvne, and High on Fire! Also also not this sub's purview really but I'm excited for the new SeeYouSpaceCowboy

OldSilverKey

1mo

No one has mentioned the album yet, but the new My Dying Bride, A Mortal Binding. They're the sole reason I'm returning to the MDF after 15 years.

Replaced by Agalloch at MDF this year.

ANGRY_BEARDED_MAN

1mo

Huge upgrade if you ask me

1mo

I agree.

FeastOfBlaze

DEATH METAL OR DEATH... Or Genesis.

1mo

Initially, I was a little disappointed, but it's grown on me. Certainly a massive improvement over the last one, that's for sure.

OldSilverKey

1mo

Having read the comments and link about MDB not attending the MDF, I'm now unsure if I'll make the trek back home. There may be a ticket up for grabs, stay tuned.

Brutal Technical Egyptian Zen Death Metal

1mo

Don't think anything is going to dethrone last week's Nimbifer for my AOTY but goddamn lots of great death metal out today. Engulfed in particular surprised me, I thought their debut was just okay but this is some primo Dead Cong-style stuff.

Edit: Never fucking mind, Coffin Curse is absolutely a contender. I think Nimbifer's better but only by a hair, could see that opinion changing later in the year.

1mo

Nimbifer is a sleeper for sure, excellent riffs on there

casualty-of-cool

1mo

Just a few to add that I have not seen posted yet.

Fucking Speed and Darkness

1mo

That Hekseblad was really damn good, enjoyed their EP and the album delivers really well. Blaze of Perdition was an improvement on their last album for sure, really like the guitarwork in that one.

casualty-of-cool

1mo

Yeah definitely. I enjoyed both albums. I need to give them a few more plays. I did really enjoy Blaze of Perdition tho with. The Selbst album hits pretty hard as well. Might be one of my favorite of today’s releases.

St3vo92

Fucking Speed and Darkness

1mo

Selbst was really good too and a pretty strong follow-up to their previous album which was great too.

drowningmoose9

1mo

My first time listening to this band and 3 songs in I’m fuckin hooked

forestpunk

1mo

Anyone listening to new Couch Slut today? It's probably somewhere on the metal/hardcore spectrum, but it's still a pretty satisfying listen. I'm getting a little tired of the talking over distorted music trope, as it feels like so many bands have done that the last 3 - 5 years, but it's not all over the record, so it doesn't fully tank the album for me.

PM-ME-LADYHEAD-TATS

1mo

Man that new gatecreeper single from yesterday(I think) is so filthy. Can’t wait to see them live after this album drops.
