 | Fort23 Oiii the new chief keef come on ?
|
 | Wizard Yes you are one of the original's still kickin' around. I actually joined in 2005, yet it says 2008 which isn't true. Going on 20 years!
|
 | DoofDoof The Filth? I need to revisit them, with metal I am constantly expanding what I know and then that influences my opinion of what I have heard before...the second CoF album I listened to I liked to a 3.5 level. Probably just had got more into the style by then
|
 | garas Hey! Look what I've just found: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=494291
|
 | JohnnyoftheWell oh yeah gotcha - just jams then ig. 'free jazz' is a thorny term that basically means free harmony, or freedom to play whatever tf you like outside of key or chord sequences, and normally has a specific group of artists attached with it lol - poor ol charlie parker was dead by the time it came around, but he didn't need free harmony to rip like a hero
|
| JohnnyoftheWell nice one. for all his legend, charlie parker wasn't really a recording artist, but the only other thing i've heard it on that hits that level of greatness is the Live at Massey Hall album (which has maybe the most absurd lineup of all time)
|
 | DadKungFu You try the Schnittke quartets yet?
|
 | ToSmokMuzyki diabolical is better but they never offer a bad time ( ?° ?? ?°)
|
| DadKungFu Dude all the partitas are soul shaking
|
| garas Oh damn, you were faster than me, ahaha! But no problem, I'll review that Morgul Blade album then (I guess).
|
 | tectactoe Nice Speciation rating, album slays \m/
|
 | Crysis You too man! Just taking it one day at a time, randomly jammed Elegy and forgot how good it was so had to come comment.
|
 | Typhoon24 yoo hawks did you ever hear N.O.D.--Niggaz of Destruction? it's a 90's underground memphis group's mixtape. always assumed u did lol. it's a classic
|
 | Butkuiss Enjoy! FWIW I reckon Gene has some really great taste in jazz too ? definitely suss anything he sends your way.
|
| Butkuiss Thought it?d map to your tastes pretty well big dog. Coltrane and Miles are both sick****s who fully deserve all the praise they get but sometimes the shadow they cast over the genre blots out a lot of other amazing stuff. There?s an intimidating breadth and depth to the genre but thats also half the fun ? there?s always something else to listen to! Don?t let anyone tell you jazz isn?t meant to be an enjoyable or joyful artform!
|
| Butkuiss Lfg my respectably married brother! It?s a bit out there at points but it?s nothing too free or avant, and it has some really good guitar ? keen to hear your thoughts.
|
| DadKungFu Hell yeah, Bach - Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, Schnittke 2nd and 3rd String Quartets, Bartok 4th String Quartet, Arvo Part - Fratres, Schubert - 8th Symphony. Hope you dig em!
|
 | Sunnyvale Thanks Hawks! I do need you to grant me access to the Google Doc, sent you a request
|
 | budgie check the 2 recent black lycanthropy EPs i just added them to the discogs
|
| budgie dude the album art is soooo ****in cool

|
| Futures hell yeah man glad you dug it. such a cool atmosphere. that is definitely one i will be checking out soon, looks right up my ally!
|
| Sunnyvale Awesome! Just shoutbox me a Google Docs link when you're done. Thanks Hawks!
|
 | cylinder Sup bro. You might be interested in the skramz list I just posted
|
| Futures recs always appreciated friend! i'll have to add them to the jamz list. i got a rec for you, order of nosferat the new album. just found this band they are awesome. dungeon synth heavy bm. like if 2nd wave bm never stopped and kept evolving. it goes hard, you would really dig it!
|
| budgie check blood tyrant codex cruor
|
 | Zac124 Yep, Tyrant absolutely slaps. Definitely will be checking their other albums.
|
| ToSmokMuzyki eh certain bands/albums ive never thought much of i still rate em bc im a holistic completionist kind of person and anything that is mega popular i automatically consider a need to listen
|
 | FearThyEvil Appreciate it man! I'll definitely keep it in mind
|
| ToSmokMuzyki anorexia didnt sound appealling so no on them but yes on THE TYRANT OF NIPPON
|
 | Spec Its f ucked how time just keeps going and they're not here for it. (Cant post symbols right) So seeing you post this is blowing my mind because I just said the exact same thing during a very awful conversation a few hours ago.
|
| budgie NACHZEHRERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
|
| budgie NACHZEHRER MOTHER****ER!!!!!

|

|
| budgie THEY HAVE INTERNET AT THE STRIP CLUB??
|
 | EyesWideShut Nice, I been cruising to Jeezy's TM 101. I actually had that album back in the day but man does that s*** hit harder now haha. As for Roc he takes some time to grow but his wordplay and beats are so smooth
|
| budgie JAM IT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
|
| budgie https://nachzehrerbm.bandcamp.com/album/eternal-deities-of-the-black-hordes-ep
|
| EyesWideShut I saw someone rec'ed you some Roc Marci, definitely one of the best doing it today but he got way better albums than that new one imo. Rosebud's Revenge
|
 | unclereich especially rosa lol that gay is one of the first homies I made on here
|
| unclereich check page 17 :] 99% of the stuff I say on here is just copy pasta from other dumb users. ive never disparaged anyone unless it's directly to them
|
| unclereich https://www.sputnikmusic.com/album.php?reviewid=79430
|

|
| EyesWideShut Nice! and yea once the weather gets warm it just hits different
|
| EyesWideShut Broski you need to hear ESG's Oceans of Funk, such a good early 90's Texas joint with a real west coast vibe for the summer
|
 | NightOnDrunkMountain Never heard of Echoes of the Moon, thanks for the suggestion! I will have a go at the albums and let you know what I think, cheers man
|
 | Dedes Hawks jam Weight of Redemption by Eye of the Enemy it's like the best of Lamb of God if they were an insanely meaty melodeath band.
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD JUST JAMMED Inter Arma's opener....hoollly shieeeet!
|
 | frozencarl hawks my bro just opened spotify and was greeted with this sick lookin album, started spinning it and its like zelda-themed cradle/dimmu. immediately thought of uhttps://gannondorf.bandcamp.com/album/the-nightmare-institution
|
 | jrlikestodance Beautiful record man, I think black metal is finally starting to make sense for me lol
|
 | Jurtz Hawks bro, check out Impaled if you haven't, especially Mondo Medicale. It's right up your alley.
|
| budgie r u sure.........................
|
 | MillionDead Bruh, check out Tetragrammatical Astygmata by Averse Sefira if you haven't. One of my favorite USBM finds in recent memory.
|
| budgie the **** is that supposed 2 mean
|
| budgie you smell like CAT s***TTTTTTTTTTTT
|
| Futures hell yeah man. btw if you want another new metal release check the new antichrist siege machine. war metal that goes pretty ahrd m/
|
| Futures means a lot man. you're a good dude. all this downtime i've had lately made me rediscover my passion for music so it's been keeping my spirits up. gonna keep on going and jamming m/
|
| Futures thanks hawks i really appreciate it. no problem at all. sorry to hear about your cousin, scary stuff. i'm 29 now. since 2015 now, super rare form unfortunately. like a hundred people get it a year. dealing with it on and off since, got some specialized radiation in the fall at mayo clinic for a reoccurance. been tough man. wasn't expected to last this long but i'm thankful.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD s*** your binging a lot of albums! Glad you liked it. I'll listen to it againg tomorrow heading to work. I was very impressed too!
|
 | GiaNXGX That monolake album is so goood glad u dig electronic also m/
|
 | Inveigh What's up my brother?! I sent you a message on fb a while back. Hit me up dog!
|
| DDDeftoneDDD In the verge of bloating you should check the new Exist record nonetheless. Its hitting hard with me. Hug
|
 | bellovddd holy s*** summoning are exactly what I was looking for. legit!!
|
| budgie nvms it was unfeatured that works 2
|
| budgie do u wants me to the list didnt think it would b featured
|
| jrlikestodance Thank you brother, thinking Cradle might be up next of those choices
|
| bellovddd hawks! BRO! hit me up with SYNTH filled black metal. I want something trippy.
|
| FearThyEvil I knew you weren't going to dig Elementary and it's cuz it wears some heavy Tool influence lol. Their other two works don't feature that at all so maybe check them. The ep is very different musically.
|
| Spec blue oyster men secret men
|
| budgie budda emailed me and said u hated me
|
 | evilford Oh nice, didn't know coffins had a new 1! Gotta check
|
 | CaptainDooRight Yo sup bro. Thanks! Just know that I?m doing well and life is going great for me. How are you?
|
 | Havey ah i should've figured... all good then, now just waiting on you to resume that hip hop list
|
| GiaNXGX Hey man, hope you didn?t take my list personal, just jk
|
| Dedes Hawks jam new Benighted is there best album since Asylum Cave
|
| Jurtz Hey dude, I love reading your reviews and I saw that Foreshadowing our Demise from Skinless desperately needs a review. Something for you?
|
| PortalofPerfection Finally got on the new Frail Body. Super good Liking it more than I was expecting to.
|
 | 0GuyMan0 Yo, listen to more Queensryche!
|
| DoofDoof It?s a fun album right? Where I am with it is about 8 of the tracks on it are amazing and then the rest is just ok. I should probably bump it to a 4, been trying his earlier stuff and there is some good s*** there too
|
 | Drifter https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=205631
|
 | Gmork89 Well s*** dude I'm sorry to hear that, hope all is working out, I'm always available for a chat my dude. I'm doing well, have a 4 month old baby so just living the baby life haha.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Quicky check, so awesome https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=404032
|
| budgie budgie - never turn your back on a friend
|
| budgie yeah i remember that. i don't like sampled drums 99% of the time it's an instant no. summoning is like a special case. you should check nachzehrer - eternal deities, really good lofi like transilvanian hunger
|
| budgie good luck. post black bathory is a huge miss for me i hate it all but im a bitch. i want more albums in that old coven style
|
| budgie ya the vengeful spirits album i heard and i appreciate the dbeats in it but wasnt wow'd
|
| budgie ya the front end of transilvanian glare is ****ing flawless reminds me a lot of blaze in the northern sky
|
| Dedes All That Has Never Been True is ****ing mysterious and cathartic check it, it's like Ruins of Beverast and Weakling ****ed and had a surprisingly melodic DSBM lovechild
|
| Dedes Hawks you ever jam Ultha
|
 | bighubbabuddha i bet you enjoy baby oil with her then bro, hubba hubba
|
 | onionbubs and then on the other side of things lol you might dig palm reader, who were this like mxc/hxc adjacent thing that gradually worked in more posty stuff and hit an insane peak with their last two albums. unfort they just called it quits but they had a real magic to them
|
| onionbubs given you have neverbloom at a 4, make them suffer's old souls might be worth a shot. they kinda try and blend their deathcore influence with a more metalcore centric sound on that one and its real cool. it is what i am presently jamming atm lol. you might dig
|
| PortalofPerfection I just got on that new Dodsrit too bro, epic AF, them solos are killer. Sounds like if Windir listened to too much Iron Maiden lol
|
| bighubbabuddha Alcest new single was top-tier, I've got fingers crossed it will be a top 3 album
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Hey Hawks. You need to check Dodsrit newest. Big hug m/
|
 | PostmanPat oops. I double posted. Uh. Now I triple posted. Uh. K well. See ya in 2 months.
|
| PostmanPat what is a shoutbox? heyi Hawks ur cool but Contortionist is rly gud, dummy.
|
| Butkuiss What is the secret to a successful marriage?
|
 | Rowhaus Couldn't help but notice you jammed Anomalies today lol. You gotta check Lucid Interval bro it's INSANE. Hadn't jammed it in such a long time m/
|
| unclereich raised your approval rating a whole percent you're welcome
|
| unclereich im glad you didn't cave to the lib agenda and opened your shoutbox again
|
| bighubbabuddha would recc the new Judas Priest buddy , thanks for the BM reccs
|
| bighubbabuddha thanks broski, have a good evening! Got plenty of inspiration :)
|
| bighubbabuddha both 4s, will defo be checking out more crippled children, more pls
|
| bighubbabuddha I'm getting into black metal, love alcest and deafheaven, where should i go from there bro
|
| evilford Also, it does not have a rev ;;;;;;;]]]]]]]]
|
| evilford Get back to me on those. Think you've heard all my 5s that are dm but I've thought about 5ing these at times. 3 of my absolute fav lesser-known dm gems
|
| evilford Thanatos - Realm of Ecstacy, Imprecation - Theurgia Goetia Summa, Merciless - The Treasures Within
|
 | Comatorium. That convulsing album upended my entire opinion of a genre. Good ass review.
|
| DoofDoof You love this band, always think it?s crazy you find a band who have been around for ages and you realise they are classic and you have loads of catching up. I find about ten like that a year and it freaks me out. Why did all sput reviews have that format in the early years lol
|
| Futures glad to see you're still kickin brother m/
|
| Rowhaus good to see you back brotha
|
 | hexfix93 Yo, I know we've only talked briefly on here and s***, and idk what's up, but I hope you're good man.
|
 | Jash Love you too bro, I know I rec?d this before but not sure if you checked it or not, Skullcrusher ?Quiet The Room?, I know how much you love Grouper so I think this will blow you away
|
| FearThyEvil Harlots are more post-metal mixed in and they nail that atmosphere
|
| FearThyEvil Damn that's high praise! I know youd your lists but for some solid metalcore check Snapcase and Harlots (specifically Betrayer for Harlots). Both super underrated groups in that genre
|
| FearThyEvil Yup, let's just jam some good metal! I should definitely check that Convulsing album soon at some point.
|
 | Dewinged There's nothing to apologize for, dude. I'm sorry it got you the way it did but I understand your reaction. Just so you know, I still value your presence, reviews and lists, red tag or not, so take a breather if you need to, but know that you'll always be welcome here.
|
| Spec He?s a strong one, this one.
|
| evilford Love u too buddy, I hear that. That's one of life's biggest challenges for me too, just keeping s*** alright irl. U need to chat or anything hmu, I'll never think less of u
|
| FearThyEvil So was I, man! I'm going through s*** too and I have no excuse to treat you like I did. Obviously we hashed things out and can move on and be chill. Hope you find the peace you need or any help that may be ailing you.
|
| FearThyEvil I appreciate that and to be honest I went a little overboard and was very harsh myself. Let us let bygones be bygones and we're all cool again. I shouldn't have went overboard like I did. now let's just get back to enjoying some music like the site allows
|
 | pizzamachine Thanks Hawks, hope you know we all still love you though
|
 | Hyperion1001 ive been trying to figure out how to not stress over bulls*** my entire adult life brother. I can?t recommend therapy enough. it helped me through some very tough and scary times. we all struggle and having someone to help you navigate through it is invaluable
|
| Hyperion1001 my 2 cents is that sowing and Willie and Jom are great guys who do a lot of good work but this site is functionally dead. hasn?t beend in a decade, constant bugs and malware, forums ared and no one can even make a new account. the titles are just ceremonial at this point. it genuinely doesn?t mean anything. I wouldn?t get too worked up over it, like I said you?re a spiritual contrib which means more.
|
| Hyperion1001 of course buddy. i hope you stick around, we need ya. you?ll always be contrib in our hearts.
|
 | BAT tsall good lol, mainly recced it out of nostalgia/obscurity hopefully you get a kick out of its 2000s-ness, it's average is probably a tad deceptive but it's charming lol. been slackin on listening to stuff lately. great project pat review tho that or ghetty the first 36 related album i heard growing up, older brothers used to blast it in their 90s caprices lol
|
 | heck did u ever listen to that gardsghastr album
|
| Drifter yeah i like kray's most recent album quick fix 3. some really cool ideas on it. bizzy is still a stellar rapper but i just dont like his beats
|
| DoofDoof Love to see that Sophtware Slump rating - you thinking of trying the lo-fi debut ?Under the Western Freeway? sometime soon?
|
| Dedes Ok yeah this Skinless album is p goddamn meaty, some of the most nasty sewage gutturals i've heard in all of DM. Love this mother****ers lows lol
|
 | InfernalDeity Appreciate that. I don't have any designs for Staff. I've only been contrib for a year and I have a lot of things going on work-wise so I have to see how I can adjust my time.
|
| InfernalDeity I'm sure you'll get tapped for it. I think that decision is left up solely to staff, but you've been posting some great reviews so don't stress it too much
|
 | Winsomniac Its wild! I'm glad to hear you're doing well! Married even!! That's awesome! And yeah, I talked to my current gf about the old tinychat days not long ago haha
|
| InfernalDeity I am a maiden fanboy, and I love chemical wedding. But dude this last release is just so boring
|
| InfernalDeity Dude my rating for the new bruce dickinson release is going to be so ****ing low lol
|
| BAT nice nice lookin forward to it, i still ought to check out serpent column annnd that stortregn album seems up my alley
|
| Dedes Nah mate I haven't, currently on COL finally and tryna expand my dark folk repertoire i.e Sandre De Muerdargo atm but I'll try jamming it soon. Really in the mood to soak in a lot of new music rn
|
| Dedes Just jamming Swallowed I see. Lmao that album is FREAKY. One of the most pleasantly ugly things i've ever heard
|
| InfernalDeity Great write up on vomit forth man. I'm glad you digged it
|
| Winsomniac I mostly lurk these days lol, haven't really been keeping up w/ music as much as before. Hope you're doing well!
|
| Jash Hell ya dude, she recorded the album herself in an apartment and plays every instrument, which was a huge left field step from her previous work. One of my all time favs for sure
|
| garas Yesss!! I'm so happy you liked it!!
|
| garas You are in for a treat, Hawks. Thangorodrim is one of the best dungeon synth artist on the globe, and Taur-nu-Fuin is indeed a masterpiece! I hope you'll 'feel' it!
|
| Zac124 Nice. Excited to see what you think!
|
| Inveigh **** yeah man! Both albums slay for days
|
| DoofDoof If you like evil sounding ambient that is the first thing you check! 'Heresy' or 'The Place Where the Black Stars Hang' are the best starting point with them
|
| DoofDoof Only given the Quiet Divide one and a half listens so far but I dig it - not terrifying dark ambient like Lustmord but definitely an unsettling atmosphere that is honestly more everyday approachable than some dark ambient, will report back when I have listened another three or so times
|
| DoofDoof Yeah I gave you a real mix of stuff, would be really unlikely anyone would enjoy it all an even amount (or some of it at all lol) - Hans Chew is more jam country/southern rock with prominent piano, not sure it totally meets the brief tbh but his stuff is just good drinking music with a bit of virtuosity in there at times.
|
| PortalofPerfection Bro that new Job for a Cowboy is wtffgffffgftggffff ridiculous holy hell
|
 | Sevengill been vibing with your faves lately, good stuff. lemme know what you think of new bork.
|
| DoofDoof I tried the Dead Texan after reading your list and yeah, that is perfect - will try out the Black Swan, cheers man
|
| DoofDoof I started listening to a lot more ambient last year too, the Jonny Nash is some excellent guitar driven ambient from 2023 if you want some more ambient stuff that is a little bit more lively. The Harp is chill in its own way though
|
| DoofDoof if one choice is not your thing for any year I can find you another, I guess the picks lean mostly towards americana, but things like the Jonathan Wilson and the Anna and Elizabeth have some psychedelic elements
|
| DoofDoof 2023 Harp 'Albion', 2022 The Unthanks 'Sorrows Away', 2021 Bonnie Prince Billy 'Superwolves', 2020 Sam Lee 'Old Wow', 2019 Purple Mountains 'Purple Mountains', 2018 Anna and Elizabeth 'The Invisible', 2017 Hans Chew 'Open Sea', 2016 Richmond Fontaine 'You Can't Go Back', 2015 James McMurtry 'Complicated Game', 2014 The Delines 'Colfax', 2013 Jonathan Wilson 'Fanfare', 2012 Tindersticks 'The Something Rain', 2011 Cass McCombs 'Wits End', 2010 Sun Kil Moon 'Admirals Fall Promises'
|
| DoofDoof Nice one Hawks, getting to the really good genres now! A cheeky pick per year, not always the highest thing rated for that year but for whatever reason stood out as maybe an interesting choice...I will not be offended if you select your favourite two or three to check from this list and discard the rest for now ;)
|
| hexfix93 I've been good though. Trying to catch up on some dm. I know you got a lot of recs but you really should jam those albums I posted in your list lol
|
