Song of the Day
Khemmis - Above the Water
Sick doom band in the spirit of Pallbearer - out of Denver, CO. They're touring pretty sporadically but have already made a name for themselves. If you've never heard them before, you're in for a treat.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

It's that time again ladies and gents... This album won't need any introduction... Just give a listen if you're into good production and guitar riffs.

Feels like deja vu, but this was way more melodic than I expected.

I'm not big on their music but that album cover is definitely bad ass. This song is pretty cool though. May give them another shake at some point.
Song of the Day
The Vision Bleak - The Demon of the Mire
Gothic metal but pretty heavy,really great production on this LP.

Not a song of the day but I like to post usually stuff that I think is fairly unknown and in my current listening playlist (like a few days ago with Mizmor). Right now that is Fórn. Bell Witch fans may want to give a listen.
This one has always been a favourite of mine...

Song of the Day
Amorphis - Black Winter Day
Today's pick comes from Finland, a song by arguably one of the most prominent metal bands in the country, Amorphis. The band is known for their haunting melodies and Black Winter Day is no exception. It has one of the most beautiful melodies I've heard in a metal song. The guttural growls are nicely contrasted by the clean vocals in the chorus. Over all, it's just an amazing composition and perfect for those bleak, winter moments. Mind you, that the band has gone somewhat of an change from this older style and is less extreme these days, but still worth listening to.
If you want to hear more, check out Tales From the Thousand Lakes album. Their best record in my opinion.

Amazing news!!! It probably comes out in January, so we can have a better understanding of the music by the end of the year :P
Just kidding i love this band!
Perfect for today, playing with my kid while its fucking cold outside.
My wife still has the original CD, it's both our favourite by Amorphis :)
It's the only Amorphis CD I own. Remember picking it up some 10+ years ago just for that one song. It quickly rose to be one of my favorite albums. :)
There's a show coming up in December where it's all of Krallice's drummer's bands playing in a tag team until Lev drops dead from exhaustion

Due to being outside and just getting drunk I forgot to post number 25 of NBBMN! So here we are...
This is imho one of the best albums ever made, and sure I'm cheating a bit since it's blackened death metal but they're a band who started as a BM band.

25) Behemoth - The Satanist
Hard to classify sounds about right. It always throws me for a loop when I listen to this kind of music and it has a happy, feel good vibe, it's so weird. It can work, though. It reminds me somewhat of Ghost Bath's Starmourner in that way.
And now for something completely different.
Ok, straight up, Dale Crover is one of the best drummers in the business. The guy knows how to be economical, he lays some mean beats and knows how to enrich a song through rhythm. He just knows his shit.
So imagine when a couple of Mexican dudes enlist his help and Trevor Dunn's (yeah, we're up to half Melvins here, or 2/3, not sure) to create some real slow, real melancholic and heavy music. Enter Low Flying Hawks.
Looking at the number of views they have in YT and listeners on Spotify makes me sad, so I'm trying to change that. That's from their debut LP, Kofuku.
Their second LP came out in August, Genkaku. They have a guest appearance by King Buzzo himself too, so they've kinda gone full Melvins on a couple of the tracks.
It's great music and worth your time.
And here's 26...
Surprised I missed them up to now, but ah well... Enjoy.

Song of the Day
I'm feeling thrashy so today's song of the day is Steelcrusher by Hammercult. The album art drew me in but the music kept me. Enjoy your Sunday!
Haven't heard of these guys before but I like it! And that artwork is just pure amazeballs.:D
Dyscarnate recently came out with their newest album: Dyscarnate - With All Their Might
It's nothing groundbreaking, but it is proper pummeling meat-and-potatoes death metal, which is never in small demand.

The new Morbid Angel is very good
This one's a buy. Better than Gateways I think. Love the production, lurching guitar and punchy drums

Did they get away from doing awful strange pseudo industrial music? Because Illud Divinum Insanus was really really really bad.
Day 27? Well let me tell you about Day 27!
I adore this album; luckily I can separate the art from the artist since their vocalist was such an asshole, this is some good stuff.

What's good metal Era. Posted sporadically on the old site, gonna try and make an effort to be less of a lurker
The whole post black movement largely bores me, but this album, man.. pushes all the right buttons for me. The one before is alright, and after they kinda took a nosedive, but this one is just about the best of the genre, one of my favourites from that year.
Looking forward to that. I'm gonna be at their show in a couple of days too.. same day as Cannibal Corpse/Power Trip but what you gonna do.

One of the best records ever made, even though I still think Reinkaos is slightly better. Those riffs are just sublime. And yeah, Nödtveidt was something else. Brilliant composer but pretty frigging delusional and a convicted killer.
Song of the Day
Stars Will Fall - A Pregnant Light
Let's give this one a shot today. A Pregnant Light is a pretty unique project in a sea of "post-black" bands out there these days. Elements of black metal, punk, post-punk, and just straight up rock are thrown together here but it all sounds cohesive. This is the song that got me into the band and I was super addicted to it for weeks after I heard it. Their discography can be a bit up and down but when they hit, they hit hard for me.

The new Taake came out a few days ago; after a listen I'd say it's a decent album and worth a try but its quality is far from Hoest's previous work.
The production is quite a step back from Noregs Vaapen which to me is rather disappointing.

It's also severally lacking in Banjo solos
Hey all metal heads! Just happy that i have found this thread! To start things up, ill answer the questions
Iv been listening to the album for the past two month nearly everyday. Its just fuckin awesome. Even thinking about putting this band in my all time favorite. While im not crazy about their first album, their second one is a masterpiece. Like the voice, bass, drums, guitars solo, eveything seem to fit perfectly together. If your an old Death fan, it is a must. Iv try for a long time finding a band that sound like Death, and iv found it. The song "Euphoric Bloodfest" will remind you of Death too much, with a part with Spiritual Healing vibes, and the last two minutes, a feeakin guitar solo that is just too god damn amazing. Go listen to this band like now!
Euphoric Bloodfest:
Full album to listen: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8zV7CYD1GeA
Album available on Itunes :Condemned to Misery by Skeletal Remains https://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/condemned-to-misery/1010854550
Seriously, just fuckin encourage this band.

SONG OF THE DAY
Lots of talk about French bands in here, so I'll post a song from my favourite one.
Mars Red Sky, from Bordeaux, have one of the best live sounds I've heard. Super heavy riffs and some sweet stoner grooves. I was lucky to see them in Toronto last summer when they toured North America in support of their most recent album.
Here's Strong Reflection; the opening song of their very first album. Enjoy!

Sounds great! Have been anticipating a new Portal record for a long while now.
Now for a new Rites of thy Degringolade record.
Drowing the Light put out a new EP yesterday. It's good stuff. Been putting out very solid black metal for a while now.
