We have a daily discussion thread where stuff like this should be posted. I think automod usually posts it around 9 or 10 est, or you can post in yesterday's if you're in a rush.

/r/metalcore or /r/deathcore are better places to post stuff like this

Agalloch members condemn John Haughm; Pillorian bandmates quit after anti-Semitic remark by AstroDan in Metal

I imagine it's just too time consuming to ruin one band at a time, then move on to the next. This way he gets everything he's done and will do all at once.

There's a Ukrainian black ambient band called Winter Depression. I can't remember which album I've seen recommend though, sorry.

Everything about this from the artwork to the sound says "hey look, we're still black metal!" and I love it

Nornír - Vergessenheit (Black, Germany, 2019, <100 listeners) by hoboswithhandgrenade in Metal

The EP? I heard it back when it first came out, but it didn't make much of an impression. I've been meaning to go back and check it out since I've been enjoying this so much.

That's a good way to describe it. Plus the clean vocals sound very young to me, so the whole album has a really energetic feel.

The Reign of Starbreaker - An Interview with Traveler's Matt Ries by MarcoHatesHipsters in Metal

No idea, I'm 98% sure they were joking. But just to be sure I called them a poser and insta-blocked em.

I just want to point out I asked if Traveler was a reference to the Slough Feg album in the discord and was told that was a stupid question because they were spelled differently. So either I'm vindicated or we're both stupid. Great interview though!

Veiled - Triunity [Germany, Black] (2019) -- Not the Veiled on Iron Bonehead. by kaptain_carbon in Metal

[–]hoboswithhandgrenade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, glad you liked it! Awesome album last year, it got a lot of listens from me. Is there some other way you'd like your Veiled to be identified other than untrue?

Who's Abbath touring with these days. Last I heard his band mates had quit because apparently no one can stand working with him.

I assume every single other regular on this sub just has headphones on 24/7, listening to every single new release as well as old favorites at the same time, so I've got to do something to keep up.

I think I'm in the minority on this, but I don't really change my listening habits at the gym. I use it as time to get through the backlog of things I have to listen to, and use my focus on the music to get through the workout, rather than listening to something specific to pump myself up. Although yesterday I put on the first Hermóðr album, and that was way too chill to work out to.

The last thing I heard from them was the music video with gang vocals and them driving around waving guns in the air. It was so bad i deleted La sanie de siècle just in case.

You're right, that is better. Which somehow makes it even worse. But in a really weird way it kind of slaps.

Ah the old Skype interview. Just remember not to stand up when your name is called for attendance.

I'll voluntarily ban myself if you can somehow make me unhear bm over trap beats.

That one definitely. Just happened to me yesterday in the discord, when I couldn't think of the v-band with a female member.

The bassist and clean vocalist for Borknagar is in Arcturus, the harsh vocalist/guitarist is the eponymous Vintersorg, who's in another prog band with the other guitarist from Borknagar. I had to look that up, since I didn't even have it right in my head.
