Oh hell yeah. A real goddamn shame that Riley Gale died. He was a force for good. Having someone so vocal in a band that had crossed over (this reads like a bunch of puns but it’s unintended!) pretty much all metal scenes is pretty rare. And to do it with the passion he did was just brilliant.

I’ve fallen down a ‘Meshuggah’s lighting guy’ rabbit hole

Should like Killer Be Killed on paper but those glam rock vocals are NOT doing it for me

This is the kind of show I want to go to first post lockdown

Didn’t realise this came out last week, loved the first album and the lead track of this new one was a stormer imo.

So much this. Meshuggah is my dream post lockdown show.

Some pretty fun stoner prog funk fusion from Austria!

New one by Ingrina sounds decent if cavernous post metal sludge is your thing. Has a bit more studio polish than I normally go for but liking this track

Not sure if this has been posted already but really enjoying the album from Hexer from a couple of months back. One of the better doom albums from 2020 imo alongside the ones from DVT and MSW.

Really into this new Palm Reader album, it’s excellent.

Got a new ep. Not heavy per se but very riffy in places. Predominantly math rock I guess. I think they’re a real pleasure to listen to though!

Reminds me of Leprous a bit. Thanks, will listen to some more :+1:

Yeah, it’s a bit of a minefield… Just realised Whitehead did the cover art for the Tithe album from earlier this year too.

On a different note, just found out that The Ichthyologist by Giant Squid is getting a re-release (in 2021, but it’s still a fine album in my opinion). Falls under ‘post-metal’ I guess, but laid back jazzy vibes.

Man I love thrash. It also couldn’t be better suited to soundtracking a health pandemic. These are some excellent picks btw. My ATG’s (other than Slayer):

Voivod - Killing Technology
Whiplash - Power and Pain
Crumbsuckers - Life of Dreams
DBC - Dead Brain Cells
Nuclear Assault - Handle With Care
Exodus - Bonded By Blood

New Blut Aus Nord

Trying to work out if i need a limited edition silkscreen version…

You do. Although it is pricey :grimacing: Description of the album says it’s a return to 2nd wave Norwegian sound which i’m on board with.

I’ve a couple of previous LTD ones they did and they are real nice. The Memoria II one in particular.

also Coroner! absolutely rinsed their records when I was a young lad
