Not metal but there is always a crossover in the fanbase:

Good deal of Current 93's output, for when you start feeling a little too mentally balanced and want to rectify that.

When I saw that name I was so hoping they were from Georgia.

Really cool Hard n Heavy documentary focusing on Earache bands, long and rambling interviews (the best kind), lots of vids. It's entitled "Grindcore" but whoever titled it is a boob. Here are the videos/performances: 01. Napalm Death - If The Truth Be Known/Suffer The Children 02. Morbid Angel - Imm...

Would be peachy if I could see an Emperor performance that in any way approximated the shit I saw in my head the first time I heard Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk, my first "exotic" extreme metal album, before I knew that Grieghallen wasn't a cloud-level stone fortress populated by actual trolls and ...

Someone in the comments pointed out the same thing, the "Changes" similarity. I knew it was a familiar tune but assumed it was from another terrible lounge type song. Maybe we're both right, heyooo.

Only just now catching up on talked-about stuff from over the year. Bolzer - Aura (jesus!) Abyssal - something in Latin Grave Miasma - ditto Zemial - Nykta (sadly wore out its welcome quickly) Thou Art Lord - Regal Pulse of Lucifer Beyond - Fatal Power of Death (amazing if you're looking for an even...

So glad I forced myself through the first minute of that, if only to witness the quintessential lonely hearts doing the lazy spin dance on the mostly abandoned floor.

I keep seeing a tv commercial for some kind of cold remedy called Cold-Eeze. The CEO in the ad is named Ted Karkus.

All these years of thinking Manowar are ridiculous have finally paid off!

No, seriously, there are bands I'd pay $75 to see. Problem is, in many of those cases much more than $75 would have to go into a DeLorean and a flux capacitor.

Watain -- The Wild Hunt . Okay, okay, okay. I'll finally concede that there is too much Dissection going on. Odd, because I feel like this is their least Dissected album, all the Nodtveidtisms traded for Bon Jovisms and Kilmisterisms and I don't even know what other isms. It's so so bad, and this i...

http://pitchfork.com/advance/213-odori-sepulcrorum/ New Grave Miasma is a-streamin'. I get the feeling others will dig this much more than I, as I'm pretty content with the originators of this style and didn't feel a resurgence was required. However of the 8,000 bands doing the "escape from the cryp...

If for some reason your life is lacking spacey, New Age, atmospheric black metal with lots of electronica touches akin to something Devin Townsend woud've come up with if he'd been listening to Wolves in the Throne Room while making Ocean Machine, then Progenie Terrestre Pura could be just the thing...

Couldn't fight it, had to gank the new Gorguts, it has thoroughly exploded my brain. I'd feared it would continue in the direction of a lot of "technical" metal these days, getting more skeletal, more angular, like all the other Canadian tech death bands, or in the way that Deathspell Omega is sound...

My goosebumps tell me I'm sold.

I like it. Of course, "I like it" isn't quite the ideal response to a new Carcass song, but I think the ongoing extremity olympics in metal has desensitized me to all of the modern efforts by grandfathers of the subgenres. I loved the latest Suffocation, but likewise found myself asking, "weren't th...

After hearing the rant out of left field on WREKage, then reading this and the Deafenheavenhaven thread, I still can't tell if something happened. Has something happened? Subtleties elude me.

I actually had come here to post the new Carcass, which is pretty rippy, but now look where I am.
