They are currently touring and had an album out two years ago, so yeah they're still a band.
Great Album. Waiting for the Vinyl release. Strong contender for Black Metal album of the year.
Imperium Dekadenz also released a new album last friday. Awesome band, awesome records. I never heard anything bad from them.
Actually been playing 'Khaos Legions' a fair bit lately. I think it sounds heavy as hell, great production.
Make sure you are next to Janick Gers, he brings the most energy
Damn, I like this Imperium Dekadenz quite a bit. Never listened to them before but will go through their back catalog.
Still need to listen to the new Mgla too.
That's easy to do when you don't have to play anything 90% of the time
*runs*
Atlantean Kodex are releasing their new album "The Course Of Empire" next friday. Their label started to send out the copies yesterday and therefore they are streaming the full album on youtube.
If you never heard of Atlantean Kodex, their guitar player described their music perfectly: "Imagine Quorthon raping Uriah Heep while ,Into Glory Ride' is blasting from an old tapedeck" Really great, awesome and epic music. Probably my album of the year.

Correct, I always used to stand on that side back in the 80's at gigs, I then moved over to Daves side when janick joined, I'm sure he's a nice fella and all that!
new Profanatica
it's good
new 1349
it's pretty good, like it the least of the new ones they've put out. probably didn't need to be 6 minutes long

New Cattle Decapitation single is up on streaming services. This is my most hyped album of the year.

Really like the new 1349 stuff, they are getting better again.
I used to listen to an older album of MGLA quite often on youtube, but I personally will not support them any further.
At the moment i really like the mixture of black and trash metal such as panzer squad:
and Bunker 66
and Tresspasser, which are more standard black metal:

Heh, I've got one of those. It would be funnier if he actually played better but the solo part is hilarious anyway.
Sad news. Hartmuth Schindler aka "Black Goat", owner of Barbarian Wrath and Nazgul Eyrie, has passed away, after being pulled from life support after 2 years (!!) in a coma:
I only ever met him and his wife once IRL, but we spoke online often in the early days of Metal Archives and these two's passion for metal, especially underground metal, was unparalleled. While this was, sadly, a long time coming in a sense, I just can't imagine how awful the last two years must have been for his wife. My sincerest condolences to Cheryl and I hope she at least gets some closure.

Hart was a class act, loved discussing music with him and I was heartbroken when I heard the news of his illness and eventual life support. It has been hell on Cheryl. If you are a metal fan, thrash especially, Cheryl ran Witches Brew label, she is a wonderful person and I've sent my deepest condolences out to her. The two of them did so much for underground metal.
terrible news. Nazgul's Eyrie and Barbarian Wrath were legendary operations of the underground. I was on their YouTube channel just last week listening to Tearstained tracks on my way to work. They were one of the first distros I went to for black metal and they opened my eyes to the old school ways. RIP.
FIRST SINGLE FROM BLIND GUARDIAN'S TWILIGHT ORCHESTRA IS HERE!
I have NO clue who this uploader is. There have been rumblings for a while that the single would release today, but this channel certainly doesn't seem official. Get it while it's hot.
Blind Guardian's Twilight Orchestra – "Point of No Return"
I'll refrain from sharing my thoughts until I've given it several more listens, because it's certainly different than what I was expecting.

2 minutes in and... yeah this is modern BG all right :\ Still no guitars even [edit: there are no guitars at all, it's just some boring Walt Disney symphonic interlude that lasts 6:30 minutes... pass]
I miss 90's Blind Guardian so much

Don't sleep on the new MGLA or Atlantean Kodex people. Both are excellent albums.
The Blind Guardian track leaves me indifferent. I love BG but miss the "metal" in this track.
BG was the first metal band I saw live, in october of 1996.

Isn't it awesome when you randomly remember a band you used to love and haven't listened to in years? Alamaailman Vasarat used to be the shit to my ears. Then, IIRC, they added vocals to their later stuff and I didn't enjoy them as much (much like Apocalyptica).
If you like the sound of a polka/metal/jazz mix then check 'em out.

I do not think that we will see a lot of 'metal' in their release...
As we are talking about implementation of symphonic orchestra / choir into the metal music, I think nobody can beat Skalmold and Iceland Symphonic Orchestra I also like Satyricon with Norwegian Opera Chorus. Both can be found on Youtube...
To be fair, the band's already stated that this particular album is a special case and was an experiment they'd been wanting to do for about 20 years now (all orchestral BG).
It's a one-off experiment, so the next album will actually have guitars and be a metal album. Though I will relent that the odds of them ever going back to the heavier 90's BG sound is unlikely.
Arnaut Pavle (FIN)
Mystískaos has at long last released the debut full-length (top) of this amazing Finnish black metal project. As the label puts it, punk-tinged and inspired by the likes of Darkthrone and Craft. Really killer stuff. They are also handling the LP version of the demo (bottom) which was all we had for years before the band faded away into obscurity until now.
That demo is a beast. I picked both of them up
New Narrenwind track released as well a few days ago. I am loving the sound of it already and I am digging it more than the feel of the album they released late last year.
"Eons ago, before the oceans drank Atlantis, the Race of mighty Giants used to dwell here, on the territory of what is known now as Poland. One day, centuries later, a mighty son of these Giants decided to set up his Kingdom on this land. Listen to his tale... It is only I, his chronicler, that can tell thee his saga. I do believe his tale is within all of you. It is a manifestation of your energy. It is what all of you are seeking. For what we are all seeking is not a meaning for life. What we are seeking is the rapture that will tear us apart. Let this myth grant you this feeling. Let the story of "Ja, Dago" take you there. "

yeah definitely. No frills badassery.
by the way I picked up that Serpent Column as kind of a blind buy and holy shit that LP is dope. Honestly, for the most part I felt like I was listening to a really aggressive post-hardcore record that would magically transform into Calculating Infinity from time to time haha. Not what I expected at all but I absolutely love it.
My thoughts on some newish singles:
Mayhem - Sounds pretty good
Profanatica - Got it preordered, #fuckthebloodofthelamb
Esoteric - Got it preordered, sounds amazing
Hideous Divinity - Sounds awesome
Nile - disappointed...
Blind Guardian - boring lol
Also if any of you are up for some rustic black metal insanity then give UNGFELL a shot because I just bought this album on bandcamp and it kicks major ass!

The first album is just as good, check it as well. Glad they got added to the Mystískaos lineup for more exposure.
