[Music] Metal

[Zelk]

Well those are good albums

tbh I'm not that into metal so the stuff I hear is the type that gets good reviews/hype and is on end of year lists anyway

[Gib Lover]

I could make a list but I might just compile every metal release I gave a 4 and above to, it's about 30

Drudkh/Paysage - Somewhere Sadness Wanders/Schnee

This was a great split, especially the Drudkh part and I normally don't even like them.

[Cairhiin]

First of all: Happy new year!

Eh haven't really looked into new albums. I'll take it as it comes.

I'll have my top list of 2017 soon - still kinda undecided about some releases.

[Duilliath]

Portal and Abigor are the two big ones coming up.

Kind of curious about Summoning, but haven't particularly been into them for at least a decade.

//edit: Yes, I know the Abigor album has been leaked. PK himself reacted on the Youtube page, expressing his unhappiness. It's also 480p only. I'll wait until a proper release comes around.

[Gib Lover]

Looking forward to new Make A Change...Kill Your Self this month and Rise of the Northstar later this year.

Summoning was by far their worst release. Not bad by any means, but far from their usual output.

Holy crap! New Make A Change... Kill Yourself??!?! Didn't even know about it. Fri is my favorite DSBM album of all time. Their earlier stuff is great too.

My GBK binge has led me to listen to a ton of Arghoslent recently. They've got some great stuff.

[Duilliath]

New Abigor:

New Judas Priest came out.

Amazing how that band just keeps doing their thing. Great stuff.

Pre chorus sounds a bit like Lordi actually haha.

[Gib Lover]

3 new releases today! Will update with scores
Watain: not very good! 5/10
Summoning: worst Summoning by far, 6/10
Shining: Not the biggest fan of this, might revisit it but not right now, 6/10


Edit:
All charges dropped against Decapitated today, band's going home.

[Duilliath]

I listened to the new Watain. Thought the first couple of songs sounded pretty decent. And then like half an hour later I just noticed that it had gone quiet and the album had finished. Well then...

[Cairhiin]

The new Summoning is okay, last song is pretty decent but it is nowhere near Minas Morgul.

Finally! Great news.

[hellhamster]

Released after all the top of 2017 lists are done of course.

[Othraerir]
