| 2011 Thus Far
So we're three months into 2011, and these are the releases that have truly caught my eye (ear?). | | 1 |  | Woods Of Desolation
Torn Beyond Reason
This is what depressive black metal should sound like. It seems like the ideas behind Woods have been mixed together with the direction Austere was going in. Very whimsical sounding, lots of layers, and Tim's vocals, as usual, are mindblowing. | | 2 |  | Deafheaven
Roads To Judah
Probably the best "blackgaze" thing to ever happen. | | 3 |  | Beau Navire
Life Moves
Probably the best screamo band to come out of America in a long, long time. | | 4 |  | Daniel Striped Tiger
No Difference
Daniel Striped Tiger is as quirky and interesting as ever. Great release, really sarcastic vocals. | | 5 |  | Lower Definition
The Infinite Et Cetera
Lower Definition's starting to mature a bit, which is cool. Matt's vocals are a lot less monotonous here, and his lyrics aren't completely laughable anymore. | |

02.28.11 | Get this shite if you don't have it. | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | What release? And the new Woods... is seriously blowing me away. | cvlts
02.28.11 | 2 is amazing. like non-cascadian cascade bm lol. rotten sound just leaked so be sure to give that a spin as well, rape to the ears. | kangaroopoo
02.28.11 | will be getting 1 + 2, also rotten sound
| witchxrapist
02.28.11 | Oh sweet, good looks on Rotten Sound, Dante. Hep I'll check that out then. | Motiv3
02.28.11 | listened to the first 2 tracks of 1. Sounds fantastic, this should be close to towards the depths quality. | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | I feel it's higher quality, honestly.
@Hep, Manners is cool, but they don't quite connect with me the way I prefer things of the sort to. I'll listen more, there's some really really cool parts definitely. | Crysis
02.28.11 | I like the vox on WoD so much better than Austere. | Titan50
02.28.11 | My list is better than yours | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | @Crysis: IDK he sounds the same, just less high in the mix.
@Titan: opinions brosef | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | Siqq. Tell me what you fink. | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | Also, check out A Rage And Rapture Against The Dying Of The Light by Terzij de Horde, really interesting black metal/screamo/grind/crust/hardcore whatever the fuck. It's a 2010 release. | BigTuna
02.28.11 | so 2 leaked? | witchxrapist
02.28.11 | Few days ago. | Wolfhorde
02.28.11 | "Blackgaze" = Black Metal With Shoegaze influence (or vice-versa)? | witchxrapist
03.01.11 | Yeah, pretty much the idea. I use the term more as a joke, cause the majority of the bands are like a 4:1 split of bm to shoegaze. |
