Pallbearer - Heartless

Goya - Harvester of Bongloads

Hollow Leg - Murder [EP]

MotherSloth - Moon Omen

Mastodon - Emperor of Sand


^I'm really hoping that Mastodon goes back to their sludge roots on this new one. They've really toned things down since Blood Mountain imo (hence the current 'Progressive Metal/ Rock' genre tag). Unfortunately, "Show Yourself" sounds just awful. Hoping that the rest of the album is a complete departure from that track :D

Since I still listen to that Brotherhood EP / Split that they did with Panopticon.

AHH all the things happening today... Metal Monthly and Ryzen AHHH.

To answer the question at hand though, There's a ton of names I do not recognize (finally some new music to listen to while playing carball).

Progressive Metalcore sounds like it could be an interesting genre. I'll give that one a shot too since I like a little bit of BFMV in small doses (afaik they're classified as metalcore).

This, so much this. I still have to sift through this thread to find stuff that I wasn't expecting already.

I went through the list a few days ago before Alamar released it to the wolves, so I haven't listened to a couple things yet, but I have some bookmarks:

  • Mastodon - Emperor of Sand
  • Atlas Pain - What The Oak Left
  • Fen - Winter
  • Norrsköld - Withering Virtue
  • Valhalore - Voyage Into Eternity
  • Oceanwake - Earthen
  • Claymorean - Sounds From A Dying World
  • Light of the Morningstar - Nocta
  • Deathwhite - For a Black Tomorrow
  • Goya - Harvester of Bongloads

Apparently I'm on a folk/power/gothic binge right now.

The last one is really for shits and giggles. I like the doom/sludge/stoner sound, like Indeterminate by Cloud, so I figured why not.

I got no new music to share, but I got a new music video! If you're into that sort of thing...

It's... it's uhhhh... I don't wanna say artistic... buuuut... well, it's interesting. Take a gander why don'tcha.

vocals on that are terrible fam. music is good tho.

Female vocals on metal is like honey.

yeah I'm not a big broootal fan myself. I usually enjoy the music, but the vocals are annoying to me. I'd love it there were more instrumental 'brutal death' bands, but part of the brutal genre tag comes from the lyrics and vocal styling, so that wouldn't make much sense. I guess I'm trying to say that I really dig instrumental technical/progressive death metal :D

. . . now I just want to listen to Blotted Science and be sad that they haven't released anything new lately :(

I like when bands take the old school death metal sound and modernize it. kinda like what Bloodbath is doing now. and what Demonical has done (even though to some degree it's just a blatant rip off of Bloodbath musically)

I've gotten to the point over the years where I can ignore vocals entirely on a lot of metal music.

Well that all depends on preference I suppose. I'm basically a fan of 3 genres: Thrash, Death and Doom (and their various sub-genres). There's some killer Doom bands with female vocalists that create an awesome sound that a male just couldn't replicate. On the other hand, I find that I generally don't enjoy too much thrash or death stuff with female vocals. There are some standout bands though.


I love Nervosa!
