Song of the Day
Nagelfar - Srontgorrth (Das dritte Kapitel)
Speaking of keyboards in black metal... Nagelfar do it quite well. Classic melodic black metal. The drummer went on to form The Ruins of Beverast which are another absolutely incredible band.
Are there any socially aware newer thrash bands aside from Violator around? Feeling a bit inspired by Razor - Miami. As current now as it ever was.
niceNew demo from No One Knows What The Dead Think (2/3s of Discordance Axis new band)

How about some Ennio Morricone inspired black metal?
Untamed Land - Between the Winds (US, 2018)
It's pretty fresh, too. The first song on the album is the weakest. Stick with it and it starts to deliver some interesting and adventurous Summoning inspired Spaghetti Western BM.

I'm digging this. I did chuckle when I realized that, despite the theme, they managed to sneak a "winter" in somewhere:
So it looks like a bunch of bands on Metal Blade Records had a bunch of stuff delisted from Google Play or something? I'm checking random bands but pretty much the entire discographies for Cattle Decap, Black Dahlia Murder, Amon Amarth, Goatwhore, etc. are missing. Can anyone else see if this is happening on their end or if it's just me?
Where do you all buy your vinyl? I've seen some awesome records in here but have no idea where to look.
I have a feeling my wallet is about to take major hit now...a youtuber mentioned this aggregator site that pulls prices from a ton of different websites for metal releases.

You can usually buy from labels themselves, also check Bandcamp since you can buy vinyl and other merch through that too, most bands today have pages.Where do you all buy your vinyl? I've seen some awesome records in here but have no idea where to look.
Happy Thursday afternoon ladies and gents. Here's my pick for today:
Song of the day:
Bathory - Shores In Flames
With a dash of nostalgia from my teenage years and it being one of the best songs on the entire album, this choice was a no brainer.
Looks like you have those downloaded to device. Try clearing one and see if it shows back up. I think they change versions like when an enhanced dynamic something or other hits. I see Cattle Decap and whores of goats on my end.
There's something weird going on with Google Play for sure. I checked Amon Amarth and Goatwhore. Some albums work fine but others show up in the list but when I click on them, it just goes to my library instead of the album. It seems kind of random which ones do this. Goatwhore for example, Vengeful Ascension works but Contricting Rage and Blood for the Master both don't. Same with Amon Amarth. Seems that albums I already had added to my library work fine too. This is on a browser.
For me even stuff I've downloaded locally is missing, and just shows the album with 0 tracks like the screenshot I posted before. Removing the download doesn't fix it. I've tried the Play Music app and Play Store on my phone and my computer. Hopefully this is just some weird bug that gets fixed soon, since if it was actually a record label issue or something then presumably everything would have been removed.Yea, now that I dig a bit deeper I see the missing tunes too. Mobile for me
One of the greatest songs of all time. It's my first Bathory song too, from my brother's mixtape way back. <3

I used to be all about metal back in middle and high school, but It's become something I only occasionally listen to now as the communities I was into all fell apart. I'm subbing to this thread in hopes that it'll encourage me to go through my collection more regularly.
This morning I'm listening to 1998's The Dynamic Gallery of Thoughts:
...And Oceans is a band that I've had an unusual affection for since middle school. They've never been particularly popular or influential, but I've always been into their albums, even the later industrial-tinged stuff. I think it might be mostly the cool cover artwork to be honest. The synth work is very interesting too, especially for the time.
Have fun, man. Sabaton always put on an excellent show! I'll be at their Tampa show on the 10th. Think it'll be the sixth time I've seen them.Excited for Sabaton/Kreator tonight. Was curious who the support acts are... I see that it's Cyhra. Now I'm VERY excited for Cyhra/Sabaton/Kreator. What a bill.
nice grab - completely forgot about t.r.a.m.Picked up the T.R.A.M. CD on Ebay (because it's only place to get the music outside iTunes). Great AaL jazz.
Seriously, a band with such a silly gimmick has no right to make such fucking amazing music.Metalsucks: Album Premiere: Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology
Mollusc-themed death/sludge, ho!
I had their previous album "Dim and Slimeridden Kingdoms" in heavy rotation, and this one is just as chuggalicious (sorry).
I stumbled upon them shortly after this thread but yeah, stupid gimmick but really strong stuff, especially for 2 dudes.Seriously, a band with such a silly gimmick has no right to make such fucking amazing music.
Everyone should listen to this right now!
