By awesome you mean terrible right
I don't know if Abominable Putridity even exists anymoreHopefully we'll get a new album from them in 2019, it's been too long! That said i'd settle for some new Abominable Putridity...
7 H Target has their OG drummer back so I hope they can get back on track, didn't dig the 2 song sampler at all. His style was so key to the band, like a slam Ken Owen. Without him they sounded more like modern Wormed or something
I really enjoyed them when I saw them a couple years back
Cosmic Church - Täyttymys
That's the only 2018 that I can think of right now that made enough of an impression that comes to mind. That one and the new Haken.
new Yellow Eyes LP going to press in January. The EP compilation is still forthcoming, and a split with Vilkacis also seems to be in the works.
Speaking of Uada and Mgla...we have a new contender apparently in a band named Groza. I'm about to fire this up, but given recent posts thought I'd toss this one out there.

Mgla is on spotify all of a sudden just in case anyone else had been wondering if they would every show up.
haha wowApropos of the clarinet guy, here's a guy who plays all of Discordance Axis' Inalienable Dreamless on a violin. Saw him do it live once.

Great article on Rigor Mortis and Bruce Corbitt.
welp
i'm expecting a single but if these dudes drop an album....whew
I really hope it's the real Abominable Putridity but all I've seen so far is Matti posting it so there's a good chance it's just his guys he got to do it. Which sucks
Song of the Day
Day is getting away from me. I tossed this new Sigh on and remembered that I'm on Sunday. Four day weekends make me lose track... So were doing the first track off this new album, Aletheia. The video is as weird as this bands sounds and that is a good thing. I got into them when Graveward came out and I haven't really explored the rest of their discography, but I love what I've heard so far. Check them out if you've never heard them. Their definitely something else.
Yeah, new album is pretty great... maybe? Much like with anything Sigh I'll need to let it settle for a while before I know what I really think of it. The weird thing about this album is I've been reading some reviews where they call it Sigh's most "straightforward and accessible album in years". Um... am I listening to the same record? It sounds to me more like it hearkens back to the Imaginary Sonicscape era in terms of experimentalism and 85% of the lyrics are in Japanese.
As an aside, I've been listening to Sigh for 10+ years, and I just now figured out that the first letters of all of their album titles spell out "Sigh" in 4 album blocks. I only realized this when I was flipping through the albums on my iPhone and noticed they were all grouped under "S", "I", "G", or "H". Good old Sigh.
lol, they do spell out their own name an awful lot and no, I would not call this new one accessible. I got to the latter tracks and there was some weird stuff towards the end. Not sure which track it was because I was working out, but there was some weird moaning noisy type thing and I was like what da fuq is dis. I'm with you though. Their material has to be digested. The first few songs had me on board but as the album wore on....
My favourite Sigh album by far is Ghastly Funeral Theatre, in fact I'd say that is my favourite black metal album of all time. If anyone hasn't yet listened to it I highly recommend it!
Haha, yup. There's a 3 part "song" on the back end that's exactly what you described. It picks up and gets back on track after that one for one song, then there's a 14 minute epic which takes some odd turns.
Ghastly Funeral Theatre is absolutely great, but I wouldn't really call it black metal. I've always thought Sigh gets that title more by early association than musical content. Even Scorn Defeat is pretty far from traditional black metal. I love black metal too, but if I'm in that type of mood I'm not generally going to throw on Sigh (except for maybe Scenes from Hell). The vocals are definitely black metal (except when they're not), but I don't really know how to define Sigh. Probably blackened something? Blackened avant garde?
Ghastly Funeral Theatre does deviate from traditional black metal, but I would say that it still falls into that realm at least. I definitely would consider Sigh Scorn and Infidel Art as black metal though, I don't think a band needs to sound exactly like Bathory, Burzum or Darkthrone to be considered black metal.
Another one? I'm like 2 albums behind... I dig this recent Overkill sound, but they make too many samey albums... :\

Nice. I'm pretty excited to see what direction Opeth go on their next album.

As a fan of Necros Christos since Black Mass Desecration, not sure how I feel about Domedon Doxomedon and even Nine Graves, really. They are good, but kinda dreg too.
Are there any other channels that make videos similar to Razorfist's Metal Mythos?
