 | Futures man it's so damn good. i 5'd them both and appreciate them both for different reasons. nightside has that classic icy bm atmosphere but anthems is so epic and grand. such good stuff.
|
| Futures dude same i missed all those haha. really excited to listen to them. currently doing emperor and burzum discog runs for the first time. really fun. listened to nightside back in the day but never anthems for some reason. becoming one of my favorite bands haha. and burzum is great too obviously!
|
| Futures that's my first of his, really excited to check out more. it's fantastic. and yeah that coffin storm album is pretty fun. fenriz vox a little off but the riffs are great. let me know what you think if you jam either!
|
| Futures that's great to hear man. i definitely coasted like that for far too long. getting into discovering new stuff like the good ol days just feels right. for metal stuff my top 3 this year rn would be ihsahn's new solo album, job for a cowboy and benighted. ihsahn's new one is really awesome symphonic metal like a movie soundtrack, jfac great tech death with sweet bass and benighted just super fun deathgrind. ihsahn seems right up your ally.
|
| Futures it has been forever man. so many good times on here back in the day! i'm doing alright, hanging in there still dealing with cancer stuff. hopefully looking up soon. jamming so much music, haven't been listening this much in such a long time. how has life been treating you?
|
| Futures sup scuro nice to see you still hanging around here!
|
 | pizzamachine Ok, from now on all reviews will be slick as a lubricated ship. Shape in or ship out! Thanks for all the nice comments, it means a lot! Truly!
|
| pizzamachine Hey, thanks for responding! I hear you about cleaner/better looking punctuation. I agree, and the comma you mentioned looked good. As far as fragmentation, no one?s ever mentioned that about my reviews so thanks for bringing that up lol, it?s time to fix that. I probably have more confusing sections than I care to admit.
|
 | peartnoy It indeed has been 6 years already. Lots has changed in the band haha, female vocalist and all.
|
| peartnoy Hello there! Can't believe it's already been 6 years since you reviewed Eternal Closure's first album. Time flies haha. Just want to give the heads up that the album is out now. Tell me what you think :)

|
| hansoloshotfirst Scuro...Scuro Fantasma now that is a name I haven't heard in a long time. so far I haven't been nuked by the russians nor did I die in the pandemic. I have a full belly, a roof over my head and music in my ears. So overall pretty good. hope u are well too, mate. recs will be send your way.
|
 | Egarran Oh that's good to hear. Saw your name in a thread and I realized something was lacking here. My goal for 2022 is to do as little as possible (while breathing) and so far it's going good.
|
 | Archelirion Yeah not too bad, not too bad. Got a kid on the way next year which kinda owns and life's going fairly smoothly, on the whole. Trying to figure a few bits out but aren't we all. What's good with you?
|
| Archelirion Scuro... Is that you...? It's been so long fella, how have you been?
|
 | evilford awesome dude, didn't know you were staff either nice! My faves of 2020 I think all have reviews but nevertheless are excellent stuff, new ulcerate (which you've probably heard), defeated sanity, voidceremony, cosmic putrefaction, and ulthar are some of my faves from this year. All dm of course lol, its pretty much all I listen to anymore
|
| evilford Gotcha yeah I stepped away for a while too, couple years actually. I am well yeah hope u are too take care man hopefully we'll see u around sometime
|
 | GreenTeeth Hey, I would like to leave this recommondation as a shoutout, a black/death song by the OSDM band scalpture from Germany! Stay healthy :)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lArW5UFqioU
|
 | garas Hi! I just thought this may interest you: https://gashadokuro-ambient.bandcamp.com/album/dark-japanese-folk-lore
|
| garas Thank you! :] I like your collection as well. Enormous! And I saw there are tons of waporwave albums there, hahaha!
|
| garas Sure I do! If you wouldn't get the notification, here is my account: https://bandcamp.com/hotyprog My collection is rather small tbh, mostly grows by recieving free codes or when I rarely buy a few tapes, haha!
|
| garas Or here is my big DS list from last year: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1112747
|
| garas I more or less enjoyed it as well, but I think it could have been more/better~ but I can't really describe how, I just feel it. (I'll keep in mind you like East-Asian stuff! :]) And about essentials - I think my year end list could help you out: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1112747
|
| garas Hey! I just saw you're digging the new Count Shirintsu EP! :] Any thoughts?
|
 | CaptainDooRight hi Scuro! can you jam my new trvth album? https://trvth.bandcamp.com/album/inordinate-and-surpassing
|
 | Gnocchi busy. between work, the fam and sput i'm about full.
|
 | Dedes That's fair. I'm only on discord now around every other week or so but I still pop in a dece bit on spit. Real life is intense bruv
|
| Dedes Yo how goes it manFeel like I haven't seen you on spit or vex in a millennia or so
|
| Gnocchi Scuro review when? Asking for a friend of a friend.
|
 | wacknizzle Unfurl has a new album... https://vnfvrl.bandcamp.com/album/the-waking-void
|
 | necropig It's great so far. Their label are doing it and the demo on vinyl if you collect
|
| necropig I only found out a few minutes before hitting you up, seen you had enjoyed previous one so let you know :3
|
| necropig Arnaut Pavle have a new one out
|
 | dmathias52 Besides that, for favorite country in general make sure to check out ?Southeastern? by Jason Isbell and ?In the Throes? by John Moreland! Let me know if you have luck finding something similar to Orville Peck, I?m definitely on the hunt as well.
|
| dmathias52 For sure! While I sadly don?t have much Western Country like Orville (part of the reason why I love it so much), I?ll send some more ?out there? recs your way. Amigo the Devil is kind of gothic country, Buffalo Wabs
|
| Gnocchi The 2nd I think. http://www.metalstorm.net/events/new_releases.php?upcoming=1
|
| peartnoy It's all good man! If you want to review something when everything calms down feel free to do it lol. It's going to be on every streaming platform, so even if you don't have the time to review it I'd really like to at least know what you think. I really feel that's it's an improvement over the first one hehe
|
| peartnoy Sup my man! Since you reviewed my band's (Eternal Closure) first album, I was wondering if you'd be interested to write for the one we're releasing July 12th ? Hope to hear from you, cheers!
|
 | Hawks You?re the man! Thanks bro. :]
|
| Hawks Hey bro. So I talked to Sowing, Game and Treb about this already but if you have any pull to possibly promote me to contrib I?d greatly appreciate it. I love writing for this site and I think I deserve the opportunity and I think I can contribute so much. I plan on calming the s*** posts and focusing solely on my writing and making this site a better place. You?re one of my closest boys here so I just wanted to state my intentions to you. :]
|
| CaptainDooRight jam my new Trvth album, I recommend the song called Azimuth for you: https://trvth.bandcamp.com/album/a-galvanizing-derivation
|
 | 0GuyMan0 yo you ever get back around to pulse ultra?
|
 | budgie put on tymah- transylvanian dreams on a whim after seeing you post it. whoa this is ****ing beastly.
|
 | DrGonzo1937 cheers man. you got new hobbies, or is it craving out a career?
|
| DrGonzo1937 Scuro, we haven?t talked for time. This makes me sad. How the hell are ya?
|
 | Sniff jammed "new" Horsehunter yet?
|
 | manosg Awesome. Hope you enjoy, man.
|
| manosg Check this out Scuro, if you haven't already. You'll probably like it. https://guildoflore.bandcamp.com/album/winterstead
|
 | Dewinged Got it, no prob. Yeah I sent it to manosg too but he's too busy atm. I feel the same, not very familiar with their style although I use to big on Helloween back in the day, that is as far as I can reach. For a sput user project I thought it was very impressive though.
|
| Dewinged Scuro my man, a sput homie asked me to review his band's album but I felt you or manosg could handle it better. It's symphonic metal meets hard rock and features the ex-singer of Vicious Rumours. Don't know how busy is your schedule, but give it a check if you can, the album it's pretty good: https://open.spotify.com/album/7LjIb5DnNReygvEVJ3gfHE?si=EHGz3rWwSjeCYMJQj6K8eA
|
 | zaruyache marx might not be good but old KRIEG is best.
|
 | DDDeftoneDDD Yeah my friend. Check my soundoff as well, to see if it catches your interest m/
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Awesome link! Why not on the propper thread then?
|
 | TheSpirit Looks like our opinions of the two Old Tower releases this year are switched lol
|
 | AcmeApathyAmok Funny you suggest that. A while ago a dude rec'd me a ton of dungeon synth (old and new) and Mortiis was one of them. Need to check it out still...
|
 | Elynna If you have the time you should give Elderwind - The Colder The Night a try since you enjoyed the latest Evilfeast
|
 | Kaiwaz I miss talking to you. You are always welcome to join our discord, it's 0 drama and 100% awesome, come in if you want. Lots of users in here love you so thats a plus. https://discord.gg/ky9bsFU
|
 | SherlockChris9021 Great, thanks, I guess there are lots of things for me to explore in this site.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Hi, I would like to ask about the real name issues in the profile, can I use a pseudonym instead of my real name? I am a little insecure about revealing my real name in the site.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Thanks, sorry about the mistake though. Will the removal of my reviews would affect the ratings?
|
| SherlockChris9021 Hi, I'm here to ask something: If I my reviews by asking the staffs in the community thread that fix bugs and other stuffs, will it affect my approval? Does the approval affect me in this site as well?
|
| Egarran Apart from the animation interludes, this is good: https://youtu.be/Qa4JkgKDaR0
|
| SherlockChris9021 Thank you for answering my dilemma of my objectivity score issues, by the way.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Great, I guess I can feel free to give ratings then. Sorry to bother you with another question, but how can I italicise or bolden the words in my reviews? Because whenever I copy the entire article from another software to the writing section of the review, it turns back to normal, and I couldn't do it with my typing shortcuts on the writing section.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Thanks, I guess I will try to make the numbers equal as much as possible. Just one more thing, will the objectivity score affect me in this site? 'Cause I've been a little worried that if my objectivity score is too low, it might lead me to something undesirable.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Hey, I'm here to ask a question: what factor will affect my objectivity score of my ratings?
|
| DDDeftoneDDD OK will check those. and duuude the new Khemmis is pretty cool to! That ending of the opening track will immediately grasp you.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Hi Scuroo! new Marduk - Viktoria is kinda cool, a bit too short though. Don't know the rest of their work...can you rec something? Have you checked YOB's? hug m/
|
| DDDeftoneDDD yeah man its an awesome track and the record is full of good, great and awesome moments. I agree that doom is hit or miss...or sometimes just boring. Considering I never heard anything else from them, I'm still figuring if I ll check their discog. Maybe'll worth it but it's a lot of work. Good ratings though X)
|
| DDDeftoneDDD X) dont know if you are into doom/sludge but that new YOB is really nice. You should check at least the track Original Face and tell me what you think m/
|
| DDDeftoneDDD Dude this Ripper ThrashDeath is amazing. Not digging much the vocals though. Loving the bass and pretty much everything else, for what it is ;)
|
| SherlockChris9021 Oh, and the version in the proofreading thread is not really a complete version, and I left them out because of the character limit, so the official review will be a bit different that the one I put in the thread.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Wow, thanks for the advice about the review, I will try to improve the way I review as much as possible.
|
 | Papa Universe St. Petersburg-geboren, Perth-aufgewachsen, Prag-registriert, Welt-reisend.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Hey, I've just completed the editing as you stated, and put the edited version in the proofreading thread. You may have a look and give comments about it. Also, I would like to state that reviewing an album track by track is kind of my style, so its quite difficult to change it.
|
| Papa Universe und sie brauchen Englischlehrer immer mehr und mehr
|
| Papa Universe Ich lernte es vor vielen Jahren als Hobby und ich reise für Arbeit (zu kompliziert zu erklären, aber es hat was mit Info-Austausch und Pseudo-Lobbying zu tun). Heutzutage sind Baltische Länder ziemlich gute Perspektiven aus ökonomischer Sicht.
|
| Papa Universe Heut's mein letztes Tag in Seoul, dann nach Prag wieder und dann nach Berlin.
|
| Papa Universe Ich habe kein genauer Wohnplatz, nur eine permanente Residenz in Prag, wo ich meist auch nicht bin. Ich reise viel.
|
| SherlockChris9021 Hey, it's me.Thanks for encouraging me to continue writing the reviews after the TDAG review fiasco (or maybe just some bad publicity), and I finally got enough guts to finish a new review. The rough draft of it is already posted on the proofreading thread in the community section, feel free to give comments.There are some concerns I would like to state: Is it concise even it is a very long one? Does the contents stress my points properly?
|
| Papa Universe für einem Deutschsprechigen hast du eine adäquate Photo sich eingestellt.
|
| Papa Universe Ich gehe jetzt weg und werde bis etwa fümf weg sein, also doch, aber kurz.
|
| DDDeftoneDDD yeah man. I took it from your bump on Nocte's thread ;)
|
| DDDeftoneDDD thinking about 5ing Meliora...I think is the right one to do that
|
| Gnocchi Yeah I sense a slight fanboy in you. Like I said though I wouldn?t mind rating it another .2 higher but it is what it is haha
|
| Gnocchi Still reviewing Ghost my man?
|
| DrGonzo1937 I wish it was the same for me; been a pretty poor year for music on my front tbh. What you studying in?
|
| DrGonzo1937 Haven't spoke to you for time scuro, how you doing man?
|
 | heyadam What are you more into now? Did I remember correctly that it was some form of nihilism? I think I'm just trying to build some coherence by synthesizing random s*** that sounds fascinating to me, but some of those ideas don't seem to clash all that well. Right now a lot of me really does resonate with existentialism, but a lot also resonates with the more mystical side of like ego-death and equanimity, both which sometimes seems to clash with a lot of the individualist ideas of existentialism
|
| heyadam Dude no joke I was going to ask you if you read any Zizek but I didn?t wanna just randomly name drop. I know Lacan is supposed to be super intimidating, but I also feel like Zizek himself is too and so idk how I feel about tackling him at the moment
|
| heyadam Yeah dawg hahaha, it felt like I died. But the grabs were great indeed ? the Jung one is super short so I?ll start with that one. What was the work that got you into psychoanalysis?
|
| heyadam Bro I?m so sorry, I just moved back to the States from China and life has been super chaotic ? I really wanted to have this convo haha. In regards to the practicality of ego death, I really meant ?what does it actually look like to go through an ego death?? It can?t just be a change in personality. Also, I just picked up Freud?s Interpretation of Dreams and a short work by Jung about individualism within modernity. Stoked to read both.
|
 | Toad thanks scuro! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zqJj-Q-KH0NRvuxSXehmvBAlhx6w1wCL/view?usp=sharing
|
| heyadam Yo! I wanted to have an extension of the convo about existentialism/philosophy from my list a few weeks back. I was wondering if, through your dive into psychoanalysis, you?ve learned much about ego death? I know Jung talked a lot about it, and tbh so do all the world?s major religions. I?m really curious about the practicality of it
|
 | BlackMalachite Do you have a Facebook? It'll be a lot easier to contact and send materials back and forth that way
|
| Gnocchi I?d did another terrible summary. You can?t stop me
|
| Dedes That rocks yo! Gonna be moving out of my house in with my mom soon, a lot more jobs in her area. Kind of stoked on it.
|
| Dedes How's life been my man
|
| Gnocchi I worked it all so same as always I guess haha. Happy to have the little ones wake to treats though : ) those are day makers
|
| Gnocchi Good ol fashioned 3 day weekend so music and cleaning mostly haha
|
| TheSpirit Malfet - The Snaking Path ... you won't regret it https://pacificthrenodies.bandcamp.com/album/the-snaking-path
|
 | Sevengill Hey Scuro, did you hear the new version of Shimmered Bough? Thought you might be interested, having reviewed the demo. https://sevengillrecords.bandcamp.com/album/upon-the-shimmered-bough-2018
|
 | parksungjoon yee i heard them in like 13 or 14 and when i wanted to put them on my list in 16 they werent in the db yet, thanks for that. if i ever make a part 2 ill be sure to put them on there
|
| parksungjoon oh hey are you the one who added s*******er to the site? good band man
|
| Gnocchi Well I?ll have to do that soon. I basically missed all of ?17
|
| Gnocchi That?s another reason why I took a couple years off sput while I was having kids/getting married. Too much focus on keeping up, lost its appeal. So when I came back it was all fresh again
|
| Gnocchi That was me ?13 back when I first had my contrib tag. That best of list was majorly difficult to sort
|
| Gnocchi Just sent the link via messenger
|
| Gnocchi I went with the ol? iTunes on that one. I?ll go looking though. I?ve probably got another 20 albums to add. There?s a glitch that?s stopping me listing stuff that?s not yet in the database
|
| Gnocchi https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=180436What you think my man? Still gotta add Drudkh
|
 | Drifter You should....uhhhh... vote for me in the march madness thing
|

|
| Gnocchi Go for it. The more people listening the better right?
|
| Gnocchi There has been a couple of slow growers this year.I added a stream in the comments but I think it?s been overlooked
|
 | YakNips ye there's no point rushing the creative process unless you wanna force out something inauthentic, but it's just nice to have something to dedicate your time to that nourishes the soul.
|
| YakNips glad to hear that bud, and i suppose you could say that, more of a personal metaphysical project. and there's a new ss album in nascent stages that i'm quite excited about. are you still working on music at all or exploring any other creative outlet?
|
| YakNips s***'s good man, i'm living on a rural property with a couple friends, i got a gorl that comes and visits me sometimes, and i'm working on immanentizing the eschaton.
|
| BlackMalachite Hey babe, figured I'd share the new single with you since you said it seemed interesting - https://blackmalachite.bandcamp.com/track/memento-single
|
 | tlos DsO meets Arghoslent: https://serpentcolumn.bandcamp.com/track/feuers-ule
|
| Gnocchi How?d you rate that Usurpress release?
|
| Gnocchi Facey me I?ll get it to you
|
| Gnocchi Nah the new one out soon? Have you heard it yet?
|
| Gnocchi Listening to the new Drudkh hey?
|
 | Frippertronics grats...thanks...the year of the "contributors to molecular corporation" is straight ahead!
|
 | Rigma grats scuro ily buby
|
 | BlushfulHippocrene Congratulations Scuro, very, very happy to see that new tag. Much-deserved.
|
| Dewinged Scuro! So happy for u man! Grats!
|
 | clavier Congrats, m/aster of the riffs
|
| TheSpirit The hardest of congratulations to you my friend.
|
 | Sowing Congrats. Please locate the staff forum and get a feel for it.
|
 | BlackwaterPork Cheers mate, gonna need it, goin up against some big players
|
| BlackwaterPork Hope you get that staff reviewer position mate, you deserve it
|
 | AnimalsAsSummit hey man, got some new music out if you're interested - millicentwaffles.bandcamp.com/album/path-kethona
|
| BlackMalachite Hey even if you can't review it, I really appreciate you listening!
|
 | Jom I sent you an e-mail but received a bounce-back. Is there a better way to write you?
|
| BlackMalachite Oh yeah, this effort just flowed a lot more naturally to me, and I was able to focus on fine tuning the smaller details because of it. You think you're gonna review it?
|
| BlackMalachite Sweet! Can't wait to hear what you think of it man! It was originally gonna be a lot longer, but it felt more natural to cut it down to about 41 minutes. Flowed better as well. I've got like 70 minutes of tracks that didn't make the cut lmao, probably gonna release them as b-sides.
|
| BlackMalachite Hey babe, here's the early stream for my album for yeah! It releases on Christmas - https://blackmalachite.bandcamp.com/album/motion
|
| BlackMalachite Of course man! You know me, I love it when people are brutally honest about my work. I'm so hyped up to finish it. It'll easily be my best album imo.
|
| BlackMalachite Hey man, I'm sending out review copies of my new album "Motion" a week before release. Would you be down to review it?
|
 | SAPoodle Thanks for your interest in hearing my EP! It means a lot
|
| budgie "Agnostic, but open minded. I've been reading lots of pagan mythology lately and, as metaphorical guidelines for existence rather than a literal interpretation of elemental gods or whatever, the focus on cooperation with your environment and "tribe" is appealing and interesting."i love this
|
| Dedes I feel like they might go back to the styles of Slania and early Eluveitie but who knows.
|
| Dedes Yo you hype for new Eluveitie? Honestly the new single has me ****ing stoked as hell.
|
| Archelirion Haha, yeah dude. The 'classics' I'd heard before, yet for whatever reason not had rated. Dauši Baldrs I only checked a few days ago, but I'm now sure that it gets an unfair press.
|
| TheSpirit I understand what you mean, but I'm pretty sure Rhinocervs is completely defunct, so I don't think you'd be taking money out of anyone's pocket. Not to mention, that's probably the only place to get a decent rip. But that could just be my "buccaneer" mind at work :P
