 | Hawks That demo is incredible DAMN!!! Have u jammed any Phantom Spire yet??? I think u would dig ahrd.
|
| Hawks Oh hell yeah I will be jamming that on my way home from work tonight!
|
| Hawks LMAO SORRY BRO!!! That's honestly how I review in general. I hear something and it inspires me to write something on the spot lmao. Morgul Blade def needs one! More people gotta hear it. :]
|
| Hawks Hey buddy sorry if I stepped on ur toes a bit with reviewing Order of Nosferat! I jammed it and got inspired to write something up lol. Also jamming that Morgul Blade album right now and it is so damn good!
|
 | Futures i've been checking the soundoffs lately, found a few cool underseen bands that way! got me in the habit of writing them myself, even wrote one for order of nosferat. just 10 minute quick thoughts, might expand into reviews again. can't wait to read that review man!
|
| Futures checked out order of nosferat because of your soundoff! really awesome stuff. like if 2nd wave bm never stopped and kept evolving. such fun stuff. hope you're gonna review it!
|
 | ThyCrossAwaits YESSSSS I feel like I?ve been alone on this hill defending Black Cascade forever lol
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki he is a magic knight his main sword floats behind him and he can conjure more out of his leather straps
|
| ToSmokMuzyki but why not be this ai art instead https://ibb.co/D79cTtc
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Btw Coffin Storm is one massive riffer...I can bare the vocals..
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I don t care if half record is synthwave. The riffs are so humpffy m/
|
| Futures sup dude. was curious if you or anyone else is gonna review that coffin storm album? fun stuff! was thinking of giving it a crack if nobody else was going to.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD I m digging this s*** lol https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=404032
|
| ToSmokMuzyki eh its a necessarily transitory bum but way overflatingly overrated agreed
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Waaaa. Thick and razor sharp at the same time m/ tks
|
| Hawks Gonna jam that Skarpseian album today!
|
 | Pikazilla it's just got a lot of playing from the heart I reckon
|
| ToSmokMuzyki it starts good then goes down down down to the bottom of the sea
|
 | dedex heyyyyya congrats bro m/ m/ m/
|
| ToSmokMuzyki and technically anachronistic but it was more fun than saying generic as hell
|
| dedex Terribly sorry I didn't see your rec! it's now in the backlog wooooo
|
| Hawks U were correct. Probably the best DS album I've heard to date. M///
|
| Hawks Will let you know later!
|
| Hawks Gonna jam that Thangorodrim album u have 5'd after work tonight. Looks SICK.
|
| dedex yeah i really didnt get the mega hype about it. btw don't hesitate to shout any cool 2024 release!!!!
|
| Hawks Will czech right now!!!
|
| ToSmokMuzyki lol theres nothing personal js and yes venom is the funomest
|
 | budgie hey check out s***hammered - atomic sodomizer, made me think of too old too cold EP
|
 | Dewinged i just read your Valdrin soundoff and **** man, I thought exactly the same "this is like Tribulation gone symphoblack" ;D
|
 | Pho3nix garas! ach! I actually like the vocals ^^ I should give Caladan Brood a re-listen, I remember not being super impressed by Echoes of Battle (currently at 3.0 for me)
|
 | naughtcturnal just saw your soundoff on that 2nd Fluids album. For some reason I was reminded of it this week. Awful awful intro where did they even get that s***?? Should?ve put a warning on the album cover let alone even use that intro at all. Disgusting. Had to vent to someone about it
|
| Pho3nix garas! you might enjoy: https://mjaltsjuka.bandcamp.com/album/nordiska-svarth-gor
|
 | manosg Hey, garas! Yes, I have and it's definitely a step-up from their previous one. Can't say that I was amazed, but it's pretty damn good!
|
| dedex yeah i was booooored :[ imma return you the comment tho: 1.5 on Last????? DAMN!!!
|
 | 86vatrushka Hey there greetings from Russia! I noticed you are the big black metal fan on this site! Wanted to recommend to you a couple of Russian bands I added to the database: SS-18, Baal Zebuth and Deathmoor. Other Russian bands that don't have much attention that I recommend: Black Flux, Lashblood, Witchprayer. Hope you can check them some time!
|
 | Gameofmetal ooo that's an interesting choice, never did listen to any of their stuff besides the 2015 album.
|
| Gameofmetal So what's your BM aoty looking like so far? Blut Aus Nord taking it?
|
| dedex phew i was scared you were mad at me!!!! hope life is treating you well :)
|
| dedex i used to put my decimal rating at the end of each soundoff. now I can immediately put that rating m/
|
 | Hello, I think this band is interesting to listen! https://open.spotify.com/artist/5V72nKDg2DxMVtGt9pjpFA?si=6B23Fr17ToWmklmVJg6AUg
|
| Dewinged Thanks for the heads up! Oh yeah I know this band, and you know me well ! ;)
|
| Pho3nix https://orcus-vm.bandcamp.com/album/the-pyramid - Perhaps something of interest for you!
|
 | arf you should probably check out billy odal btw
|
| arf dinosaurs are my best friends, what can I say (it grows on you on relistens)
|
 | Kompys2000 Yeah lol coworker's a big sabbath guy so I figure I might as well get around to all their well-liked stuff I haven't heard yet. Good s*** and "Neon Knights" kicks like a mule but I'm still about as puzzled by the hype around Dio as I was after hearing "Holy Diver" in high school (he's a good singer; 80s metal is full of good singers)
|
 | JeremiahBullfrog Garas! Super slow reply sorry! All good here, I changed jobs so I have very limited access to the internet throughout the day now lol. How are you???
|
| Pho3nix Thanks for the rec, friend! for me Erang has always been a little hit and miss... my fave release being 'Endless Realms and Nostalgic Gods'. I'll definitely give it a listen.This is one of the weirder items I have on my wishlist, you might dig it: https://amndungeonsynth.bandcamp.com/album/shadows-of-amn
|
| arf Hey, thanks for the rec - you should check out the last Knights of Nvrul album; it's a big improvement over previous efforts imo.
|
 | Trifolium Hahahahaha yeah I totally get that. It is super silly and goofy indeed. Cliché and almost parody maybe. Well, you never know! Better luck next time! Enjoy this glorious weekend garas!
|
| Trifolium Haha, enjoy! I think for me it can be the ultimate goofy in a good way music on one day, and go a little too far on another, depending on the mood. Curious what you think!
|
| Trifolium I really don't know if it's your thing garas, but this is super nicely goth and kind of almost electro-ish or something, I quite like it (I think!) and maybe you will too? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=444002
|
| dedex These two are duly noted! And yeah don't hesitate to hit me up with sick recs m/
|
| dedex My man, you know how to warm my heart, many thanks to you! Btw what would be your go-to dungeon synth 2022 releases on top of Old Sorcery???
|
 | Voivod Hi man, if I were you, I would submit "S.O.O" or more simply "SOO". Go for the second option, the simpler the better. If duplicate band pages arise, they will be spotted sooner or later.
|
 | Demon of the Fall Ashenspire? like if White Ward were actually cohesive / good. I'm at a loss to be honest.
|
| Demon of the Fall the garas seal of approval where BM's concerned is always welcome! - would've been better if we'd agreed on something actually good mind
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell garas save the day!! https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=201274
|
 | 0xME just wanted to tell you that Null released their follow-up to Hiraeth. I haven't listened to it yet but it should be a jam https://nullbm.bandcamp.com/album/origin
|
| JohnnyoftheWell Oh hahaha love that, weird timing! I'll lyk if there's anything you can do, but in the meantime nag me to finish it lol, would love to get it up and away at last
|
| JohnnyoftheWell got your vargnatt blurb and is only missing a handful of entries AAAAH
|
| JohnnyoftheWell OH MY GOODNESS DUDE I JUST HOOKED MY NEW(ish) MAC UP TO ICLOUD AND SAW THAT MY ULVER DRAFT FROM LIKE 2 YEARS AGO WAS BACKED UP AAAHAHA
|
 | Pangea garas, do you have a rec for this month's sotd? The theme is comeback songs. https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=200084
|
 | Gnocchi You sir are a gem and I love you
|
| arf to return a recommendation, you should check out the new elyvilon https://elyvilon.bandcamp.com/album/drums-in-the-deepwood
|
| arf fen walker / scrying glass split, v nice... and that sax solo caught me off guard lol
|
 | Flugmorph damn i added a bunch more EPs to the mori calliope page and rated them, now theyre gone again. i did everything correctly... wtf
|
| Flugmorph ok epic you regained my respect, thanks for the help lol
|
| Pikazilla Yeah, it's run of the mill blackgaze, no clue why everyone is hyping it so hard
|
| Pikazilla Check the new count raven for some quality doom time
|
| DDDeftoneDDD LMAO when you talked to me I was at 4. Yesterday was a 4.5, since I saw different povs and debatable views I did this little exercise I do often, drop a 4 and reevaluate with a listen or my own thoughts. I like every Mastodon and like this over the prev 3 lps. Quick skimmed the record, boom 4.5 again lol so much text for something you already knew would happen XD
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Those solos. Humhum Im not a solo guy bit these are fkin dirty.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Ahah yeah I prob will. It s growing on me. Since its kinda divisive I m being cautious. I m starting to love the 2nd part over the first. If it was only disc 1 I d stick to 4, like any late don. These guys without being any heavier (au contraire) managed to pull back vibes from CtS. A real treat, may anyone be willing to enjoy X)
|
| dedex dudes are really strong when it comes to make high af riffz m/
|
 | Bedex inspiration comes and goes, it'll be back. hope you keep soundoffing when it does!
|
| Bedex great form with the soundoffs man keep it up! m/
|
 | Divaman Thanks garas. I'll pick it up later this week.
|
| manosg I definitely remember the cover art, but haven't checked it. Your soundoff makes this a very promising listen. Thanks!
|
 | TheNotrap Cheers. Take a peek at this, when you can: https://fustilarian.bandcamp.com/releases. Portuguese BM. You might dig it.
|
 | Egarran no they have a public profile you can write tono idea how effective that is
|
| Egarran Aight Pan is on it. I've asked them on facebook.
|
| Dewinged Dude you ever heard of Bataille? Might be up your alley.
|
| JohnnyoftheWell big if tru. and nice nice, forgot you can't type d*leted into these lil deathboxes
|
| JohnnyoftheWell yeah do it, either say it was a statement or an accident ( get itd) and sneak that rate in while the moment is ripe today is the day
|
 | JesperL HELLO black metal king, you may enjoy the one with the riverbed record i recently reviewed!
|
 | Elynna I meant the band Obtained Enslavement: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/bands/Obtained-Enslavement/10219/You should check them out if you haven't, I think you'll like them. Really great symphonic black
|
| Elynna That Warmoon Lord record is great! Reminds me somewhat of Obtained Enslavement and Emperor, albeit with more epic soundscapes.
|
| Pikazilla There's a new one? **** yes! The debut was awesome m///
|
 | DungeonBoy Hey Garas! That's awesome man, glad to hear you enjoyed it!
|
| Pikazilla man I love me some taake, thank you for the headsup!!!
|
| manosg Haha, not random at all dude and yeah Trouble rules. Since you like their s/t so much, I'd rec you Danzig, you'll probably love him.
|
| Hawks Yes sir it had to be done. m/
|
| Hawks It's so damn amazing bro. It's like Marduk meets Emperor meets Thorns.
|
| manosg Great title and those lyrics... oh man, haha!
|
| Pikazilla Check the new Lord of Pagathorn - sounds like Immortal, so you might dig
|
| Pikazilla Actually checked it before it was added! Solid stuff! They also have great DS albums in discog
|
| Divaman Say garas, have you got a song for SOTD this month? The theme is songs under a minute long.
|
 | parksungjoon i feel like if you dig gehennah and dont mind something that leans harder into punk while still drawing from the same influences you might also like dishammer
|
| Bedex Chihei Hatakeyama - Minima Moralia (lush ambient for sunny chilling xoxo)
|
| budgie medieval knights black metal is the coolest aesthetic ever right?
|
| budgie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmidlKdAdmo
|
| Egarran Hah, Ctrl F 'Ancient' on your ratings = 27 hits, nice.But you didn't have Ancient - Svartalvheim and that's a mistake. (Kekht made me think of that album). https://youtu.be/PwL4LzPoa_4
|
| Pho3nix I understand. And yea "copycat army" is a good way to put it! I feel the vaporwave scene also suffers from this. Oh definitely! :] I've found some cool stuff from your lists man.
|
| Pho3nix Let me know if/when you are doing a dungeon synth 2021 list - I've been too busy to check out any new projects lately ^^
|
| parksungjoon no need to be insecure, im nice to anyone who's nice. sometimes im not nice to albums, but that doesnt mean i hate the band or their fans
|
| parksungjoon lol no need for apologies man. i'll check them out when i get the chance. i like midnight, chapel, s*******er... maybe not so much devil master
|
| parksungjoon i dont think so, venom-worship it seems? m-a has voted motorhead and midnight for similars as well
|
| Gameofmetal Appreciated, super wired to work on the new record already. Reckon it probably outta be a full length this time.
|
| Gameofmetal Got a new Dark Watcher EP out if you're interested, looks like you liked the last one :) https://darkwatcher.bandcamp.com/album/hymns-of-a-godless-land
|
 | Koris Yeah man! It?s crazy how solid of a comeback that one was. Granted, as weak as Cold Lake is, I never thought it was necessarily the trainwreck a lot of people deeemed it
|
| Pangea i'm listening to the underground resistance now and it rules so hard damn. top tier darkthrone for sure. also it's at 666 ratings now m/ gonna feel bad for rating it later
|
| Bedex ooo interesting i'll try to remember to check!
|
| Bedex 'Forlesen is an ambient/doom/black metal band' is it drone [i]metal[/i] ? :O
|
| 0xME hey man, I just noticed you got Contibutor! I did't even realize you applied, but it it most well deserved; It was about time DS got some semblence of recognition on here, although I really enjoyed your piece on the digbox; it's always interesting to see the kind of music that people enjoy without gushing about it
|
| Bedex it's all a matter of taste my man!
|
 | Pheromone Not to server one, just for moi to add you just so we can chat? Its cool if not, i get it.
|
| Pheromone garas where did you go?? lemme add you on discord
|
| manosg Nice! Had no idea, actually. Will jam tomorrow morning!
|
| Divaman Are you an admirer of Conqueror's Mourn? They (he) has a new album out on bandcamp.
|
 | DrGonzo1937 I'm glad mate, I know you'll do a great job!
|
| DrGonzo1937 Congrats garas. Your promotion is well deserved
|
 | tyman128 thanks brother, looking forward to working alongside you and the other contribs this year!
|
| Pheromone congrats garas bro !!! really enjoy how we've been able to speak more over this past year - you're a great user n pal
|
| Gnocchi Now let's get to work, that features section looks a little light on metal atm
|
| Gnocchi yeah, big ol' congrats dude
|
| Bedex i just corrected a bit of grammar on a couple revs dont take anything away frmo your achievement :] well done man
|
| Bedex also i havent congratulated u outside discord yet so well done man it's good to see m/
|
 | normaloctagon sheeeesh didnt realize so many homies got promoted this round, congrats garasbro m////
|
| Egarran Damn, 2 hours! But it sounds very nice, thank you.
|
 | someone najs, thanks a plenty. hope Plantasia doesn't go over 100 before i make the thread
|
| someone nothing specific, just **** me up fam. but make it albums that have between 50 and 100 ratings, no more no fewer.
|
| someone need some spicy juicy tasty recs of 50-100 ratings. could you throw me an album or two?
|
| Elynna That Null record is pretty darn good. The folky/instrumental passages are gorgeous, and I love the subtle yet slightly dominant influence of the flute.
|
| Elynna Oof that sounds like something that's right up my alley. Cheers
|
| 0xME good call not trusting sputniks spaghetti code hahaI'm Much#8602 on Discord
|
| 0xME thanks mate, you're really saving my bacon here :D
|
| 0xME any help would be appreciated :)
|
| 0xME hey man, I have a favor to ask of you; iirc you wrote a while ago that you're playing DnD? the thing is, I'm currently somehow DMing a group and would like to introduce them to some great DS tunes since that genre is pretty much perfect for DnD; anyway, you wouldn't happen to have some playlists/artists I could use? Ive got some songs already, but I'm honestly struggling in some aspects like combat
|
| TheNotrap Indeed. I'll try to post it today, after work
|
 | IntriguingSergei https://www.sputnikmusic.com/review/82631/Deerhoof-Dirt-Pirate-Creed/
|
| Dewinged Get on that Slytherin album I just added my boy, you are gonna like it. (I think it's Sirius' new project or smth)
|
 | Minushuman24 That's weird, but thank you garas, you're a sweetheart. I hope your day treats you marvelously
|
| Voivod To be fair, I also add bands that are not so interesting ;-). Seriously now, media outlets miss on a lot of underground stuff, and Sputnik is a perfect place to array it all. Thanks anew for the vote of confidence.
|
| dedex Sure, take your time! Btw I started working on the Hallas rev, I'll hit you up at some point
|
| dedex eheh! cool Deafheaven rev, it's nice to see you back reviewing :]
|
| Pho3nix No problem buddy! ^^ I've still got a bunch of stuff on my wishlist I need to listen through...
|
 | Lord(e)Po)))ts Hey man, i know we are in a pandemic and money is tight for everyone but I put together a gofundme for minushuman. I dont know if you saw his list but he suffered a pretty brutal loss this weekend and I thought maybe we could all chip in a few bucks and help him out with groceries or rent or whatever this month while he works through this tough time. If you can donate a few bucks and share this with some other users to help spread the word that would be awesome: https://gf.me/u/y743c5
|
 | GamamJ Hi! Arizona is greart. Really enjoying the US. People here are overall very sensitive compared to Europe, but other than that great. There weren't really many riots and stuff due to COVID, and COVID really isn't much worse than anywhere else. How's Hungary?
|
| Trifolium Hahaha man I have seen one user 5.0ing almost all of their many many albums. It's crazy! Thanks for the rec, will check tomorrow.
|
| Trifolium Oooof yes that band name hahaha. But the cover art indeed rules. Love it.
|
| Trifolium Hi garasbro! Do you know this one? https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=370070#a It's from 2020 and IT RULES! Reminds me of Burzum, although that is a bit of a cliché thing to say of course...
|
| Egarran Ohhh that makes me so happy! Thank you, the rest of the album is just as good.
|
| Egarran Currently can't get enough of this song, maybe you like: https://youtu.be/pOPyjtmgIvM
|
| GamamJ Done! Curious to hear it. Still gonna get to Forever Black by Cirith too at some point! Promise! Hahah. Indeed, in Arizona! Wanted to check out the US and gonto a warm place, so yeah hahah.
|
| GamamJ Hahah, thanks! Absolutely, music listening/rating isn't slowing down any time soon! Although my tastes have basically settled in prog and jazz snob land hahah. Yeah, COVID does suck, I managed to get to the US for college though, so I'm solid. SImilarly to you kept busy by work and school, but I love it!
|
| GamamJ Yoyo Garas, what is up? How you been doing? Long time!
|
| Bedex thanks my dude will check tomorrow m/
|
| Divaman Are you familiar with a solo dungeon synth project called Malfet? AsleepInTheBack rec'd me their LP The Way to Avalon as a possibility for my 3000th rating, and I like it. I think it might be right up your alley. I see they also have a new LP out this month, and I plan to check that one also.
|
| Divaman Hi garas. Don't know if you're aware, but there is yet another new Borg LP (their third for 2020) out on bandcamp. I just added it to their Sput page.
|
| Pikazilla You guys have a server with budgie, trif and the other cool people?
|
| GamamJ Hahah! It is funny you say that as I, similar to yourself jam a lot of relistens now too. Think at least 3 listens are mandatory before being able to give a truly accurate rating, if not more. Still new listens are always coming in hot ;)
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Ahah awesome Hajnal. I really dig that pic in the lab/classroom with the burzum shirt m/
