Going to Slayer! Friend of mine called and let me know there is a St Louis date in August so ticket bought. I wasn't looking forward to the Chicago concert which is like four hours away and in Chicago, but a couple hour ride with friends is much more palatable.

Lord Vicar is underrated IMO, I guess it's because a lot of people nowadays aren't all that interested in the more classic doom style? The other subgenres like funeral doom are way more popular ATM.

Lord Vicar are great, constantly on my Spotify playlist. I would recommend Reverend Bizarre as well.

Listened to Rivers of Nihil a few times and The Crown this morning. Nihil is fucking awesome. The Crown is passably good. Obviously not as good as some old stuff, but not a bad listen.

Song of the day



Since there's been some older stuff posted, here's one of my favorites. British thrash metal, with a young Andy Sneap on guitar.

Looks like former Devin Townsend Project / Strapping Young Lad members are forming a band.

Drums: Ryan Van Poederooyen (DTP)
Vox: Jon Howard (Threat Signal and Arkaea)
Guitar: Brian 'Beav' Waddell (DTP)
Guitar: Jed Simon (SYL)
Bass: Byron Stroud (SYL/Fear Factory)

Don't know the vocalist at all, but I'm excited.

That certainly sounds interesting. I love SYL but never really got into Zimmer's Hole, I hope this one does it for me.

Song of the Day

I found my song yesterday when I saw that Uada released a single off their new album coming out in like May I think. I had another tune in mind, but this changes everything lol. I loved Devoid of Light when it came out and still blast the hell out of it frequently so I'm really looking forward to the new album. This tune seems very much like Devoid of Light material so more of the same by the sound and I'm not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, I love what they have done so far, but on the other I'm hoping it's not just more of the same. We shall soon see. Enjoy!

Anyone else dig The Crown? Their new one, Cobra Speed Venom, is a real return to form. The post-reunion albums both missed that something special that made the band so great. Death is Not Dead and Doomsday King were total flatliners. They didn't have the same spark of the older material. That feeling that this band is hellbent for leather, iron and fire. They finally re-captured that vibe here and it's fucking awesome. The band blasts and shreds through this thing like there's no tomorrow. The songs are furious and drunk on speed. Lots of catchy, frantic and melodic riffs that slice through the blast beat carnage. Johan Lindstrand sounds as blood-thirsty and pissed off as ever. Even when the band lets off the gas to take an odd turn here or there, the material retains that intense and menacing edge. It might not as great as Deathrace King but it betters Possessed 13 by a fair bit. Just a great , rocking slab of thrashing mad death metal.

Possessed 13 is the only thing I've listened to of theirs, but I've only recently found them. I'll probably check this one out at some point, but with all the other stuff I've bought, I'm not looking for new this second lol.

My concert plans have changed for the July. Because I cannot get a day off for a Maiden concert, I will rather go to Metaldays festival for two days - i can shift my job schedule, so I will be able to drive to the festival (1 hour drive). Looking at running order, Monday and Thursday are the most interesting for my taste.

holy crap exmortus is good

They are super fun Live and great dudes all together. That album was my top of 2014, still blast it regularly

Don't know if it has been posted already but Murder Inc.'s debut album fucking rips. Thrash Metal from Czech Republic with harsh vocals and a few snippets of crust sprinkled in-between.

Decent band, been sent their EPs the past couple years, I think their 2016 EP made it on my end of year list that year but I cannot recall

When I saw they had a new song out I was super stoked about it but I have to say, I'm a little disappointed by it. It seems a bit week to me compared to almost everything off of Devoid of Light. There's something very generic about this song. I'm just not super into it.

Yea I had a similar feeling of disappointment but I'm hoping the final result is good. This song feels like DoL discards in some ways. I like that it sounds familiar...but it's almost too familiar.

Disciples of Mockery (NJ) - Literal Upheaval of the Earth

Craig Pillard is an integral part of several excellent albums, but one that may need a mention would be the lone LP by Disciples of Mockery. While really not unlike Incantation in a significant way, I feel it's overall tone is a different sort of dark. It's definitely not as occult and sports more of a classic take on doom-laden heaviness that I think most would be able to appreciate right away. Side note, the split with Womb is also excellent with the Womb side being another unique albeit short-lived manifestation of Pillard's ideas.

back when people were posting videos of drummers, I really wanted to post a navene koperweis video from animosity and couldn't come up with anything. of course the videos of him with fleshwrought are of him on guitar, but animosity is one of my top 10 bands, and then when they dissolved, he went on to write fleshwrought with jonny davy, drummed for the faceless, drummed and helped write animals as leaders - weightless (their weakest album imo), and I thought that his output was slowing down. a couple nights ago I searched his name in youtube and didn't realize one of his new bands, entheos, released an album November 2017. it starts out kind of weird, but overall it ends up really solid.

the best part is he released some drum videos for it, and as expected he destroys.

Blut Aus Nord - The Cosmic Echoes of Non-Matter (Immaterial Voices of the Fathers)


Felt like posting some Blut Aus Nord today. This is probably my favorite BAN album. The whole Memoria Vetusta series is great. I'm pretty into the 777 series and The Work Which Transforms God too. It's great to see a band able to delve into so many different styles and come out with something brilliant (almost) every time.

Chaos Moon fella needs to get Skaphe and all his other projects upon Spotify at some point. I get being underground, but having it be so random what you put up and what you don't seems weird.

Hey MetalERA, I'm a big metal fan, love me a lot of kinds of metal, from progressive to death to experimental jazz etc. Basically from Meshuggah to Animals as Leaders to Misery Index to Job for a Cowboy to Baroness.
I think the first album that really drove me to the genre was Heaven Shall Burn's Antigone. Heaven Shall Burn remains one of my favorites to this day! But I want to share this one particular song, it may be my favorite tech death song ever. It provides both fantastic sound (well, if you don't listen in shitty YT quality :/ at least) and really topical lyrics:

loved beneath the massacre. had the pleasure of getting to see them live twice, and it was always so weird seeing only one guitarist yet it still sounding so full.
I was super obsessed with canadian tech death when it was at it's peak, and when gab left ion dissonance, I was able to see alex from despised icon fill in on vocals when they were still on "Solace" at robot mosh fest. It was so much better than whatever kevin does now.

anyway, if you haven't seen the videos, anthony barone does sick covers of a couple of their songs


he also did a cover of unheard which is killer

I tried doing a cover of "Sleepless" on guitar, but got as far as 32 seconds in before I gave up lol

on the subject of drummers, Matt Kilner is definitely one of my favorites. Iniquitous Deeds is hands down one of the best things going in American brutal death metal right now, and this kid is a monster. He also plays live with Putridity and even has his own outstanding project called Nithing under New Standard Elite. It's pretty ridiculous how complete of a musician he is. His drum videos are great but here's an Iniquitous Deeds rehearsal.



bonus, new Cerebral Effusion track for the year.
