Excellent song

why do I think they just released something, what the
Anyway, I live maybe a full mile from Come and Take It Live, but I probably won't go because I can't really do stuff during the week. I also don't want to be seen at a place called Come and Take It Live.

Can't wait to hear the album!

Funny i was juat thinking about these guys.

slapz

Yess. Direction of Last Things was awesome. Stoked!

wish i could get hype, but the single almost sounds like an over-the-top parody of Intronaut. if the rest of the album follows suit it's probably gonna be the first Intronaut album since Void that isn't a 4.5 for me

One of my favorite bands. So stoked and so sad all these shows are forever away from me. That show would be massive.

Bangin'

Ahh yes it's been too long. Liking this newer sound from them.

New song is 🔥

I must stay away from it till Feb so as not to spoil it.

Not what I was expecting but you can definitely still tell it's them. Also that's an Intronaut video if I've ever seen one.

@hesperus This. Honestly sounds like they completely forgot how to write a song, or just didn't try. And also Ballou being involved with this on top. Man that sucks

Stoked to check

don't get the parody criticism at all tbh. sounds like where they'd go after TDOLT

only thing i feel it's really missing is danny's drumming. rudinger is fine here but it lacks danny's creative flair

Not surprising. He's one of a kind. Such a mistake kicking him out

Mistake assaulting one's girlfriend too

Yeah I don't blame them for it.

he didn't get found guilty and it was dropped so

^that's the worst part, he wasn't found guilty. the band kicked him out as a kneejerk reaction basically to not spoil this peak of their career.

They know him better than I.

They must have thought it was a good probability if they kicked him out.
You can not like it all you want but you don't know anyone involved so it's a moot point.

Love the first three albums, can't say the same about the following two.

I will probably catch 2-3 songs from this.

Danny is an amazing drummer and I was so pissed he left and knew the band would not be the same.......but then Alex Rudinger joined. Literally the only other metal drummer I like as much as Danny.

pumpiddy pumped

Rüdinger is a great add to the band. the vocals sound kinda weird here but the music is pure heat. the only other drummer I would have liked to see here would be travis orbin but Alex has a great following so this is a good move for them

why must this band have such bad song and album titles

lol, this is their only offense to a bad title imo

On the other hand, they've always had A+ album artwork, and this new one is no exception

"this is their only offense to a bad title imo"

digital gerrymandering? in the unlikely event of a water landing? teledildonics? the direction of last things? the pleasant surprise? harmonomicon?

you gotta be high af to think anyone will want to say those out loud when someone asks what song is playing.

now that I've got that out of my system, this song is pretty sweet. vocals did sound a little awkward but it's nice to have some punch back.

"digital gerrymandering?"

2024 political topic

"in the unlikely event of a water landing?"

I rather land on land agreed

"teledildonics?"

lot of dildos in telecommunications agreed

"the direction of last things?"

probably downhill

"the pleasant surprise?"

it really was!

"harmonomicon?"

cthulu goes post-metal

alright well when you put it like that

What song is playing, oh fuck yeah it's FAST WOOORMS

they got a dolphin smoking weed on t-shirts of course saying Australopithecus is ridiculous out loud

Australopithecus is badass though

yea still my favourite track of theirs

Sul Ponticello really rolls off the tongue

and it's a banger track

danny's drum grooves rip on that one m/

Joe Lester's bass tone on this though, mmmmmm.

sounds good, Rudinger's great

dat tracklist is lol but i might check this for nostalg

Awesome that they got good production! Their latest release felt really lifeless, it's fun hearing a proggy band like them go for Kurt Ballou production!

^^Nearly every rock/metal band could benefit from a Kurt Ballou production.

"^that's the worst part, he wasn't found guilty. the band kicked him out as a kneejerk reaction basically to not spoil this peak of their career."
I didn't like that too. Seemed very rushed and just like said it was basically to save their asses
Track is alright, but i kinda miss the post metal, since to me this is pretty much just a mathy prog metal song

there hasn't been much post-metal since Valley, unfortunately. maybe Killing Birds and The Way Down, which were both awesome.

disagree. after valley yea they doubled on their progressive sig sound but it was always entwined with the post-metal that they started on with Prehis

hm, maybe different ideas on post-metal. I require the l o n g b u i l d .

this is sick. idk josh newell but kurt ballou always slaps. nice to see rudinger doing something worth his mettle now.

It is as if Mastodon had an illegitimate baby with Kyuss. Intronaut is awesome.

Not feeling this one too much. Vocals sound a fair bit shittier than the usual

Vocals are most noticeably shittier, yeah. But everything besides that aswell. I have no idea why they would go for Ballou, especially as a prog band. Records he is involved with usually are huge brickwalls

The middle section of Cubensis is actually pretty tight
