Hey, thanks, Rob. That's nice of you to say.
I think it was all surface. That collection just feels really thin to me, despite the layers.
I think GQ had the scoop first.
You should probably re-read the part about the soullessness of accelerated culture.
Each song is really different, so it's hard to nail down... Definitely their most expansive, exploratory album so far. I'm still digesting. Will give it a close listen tonight and report back.
I think the full-length's great. I haven't heard the split yet.
I have a copy of Marrow... and it's amazing. It's definitely in the race for metal album of the year. Hard to describe because it's incredibly ambitious, diverse. Will hopefully post something soon -- when I get the go ahead from the band and label.
It's tricky territory. For me, at least. I brought this up in the Burzum interview a few months ago. I think that introduction explains my thoughts re: stuff like this... It came up again re: Winterfylleth the other day...
Pretty hilarious. The download the label gave me somehow splices together "The Day Will Come" twice, creating this really really epic version of what should normally be a 9:06 song. I like my extended version better.
Yes. Posted an interview with Aesop about The Tenant in January, "In Stable" in March. Definitely one of the year's best. Between that and Agalloch's Marrow Of The Spirit, AD's maybe drummer of the year...
You're right. Pre-coffee brain lapse...
Agreed, though I do enjoy the debate. And yes -- new Drudkh is amazing. (In fact, check back here tomorrow for a post on it.) I was a big fan of Microcosmos (obviously), but man...
These Are Not Fall Colors is one of my favorite albums of all time. It should be mentioned daily.
The lack of Sleigh Bells is mentioned in the introduction.
thanks, xtc typo fixed. (the song's an old favorite, of course.) take a look at your comment on the valdur article for more frank (just frank) info.
no worries. of all the bands from that list to get a mistaken comment in a black metal post, frank (just frank) make the most sense. "mayor" typo fixed. more importantly, have you heard chris from frank (just frank)'s high school black metal band, luci tristis? here goes
How about here or here. Both posted today.
I'm a big fan of Salem, especially King Night, but we've been covering them since 2008, so no go...
It weirdly disappeared. But it's back...
Forgot to mention: Patrick Stickles brought to tears makes perfect sense.
Confirmed: They got their name from the Lucky Dragons song.
That's good to hear. Thanks.
hmm. works for me. what sort of browser are you using?
You are correct. Carried over an older release date from an earlier post. Fixed!
Also, turns out the label had the date wrong for Richmond. Note the shift from 24th to 23rd!
Typo. But I should've caught that. My brother lived there for years. Fixed.
Hmm. Works for me. Maybe refresh?
No worries. Just wanted to make sure you knew about our curmudgeonly side(s)...
