  3. I dig that Ancestral Shadows EP. Their vocalist does vox for the two "real bands" I'm in up here as well.

  6. Didn't Norwegian black metallers burn Santa's workshop to the ground back in the 90's? Thought I saw something about that in Lords of Chaos.

  7. I've been wondering about how our era of media will look in hindsight. It feels like we're in a weird place where media products now are so high-fidelity that they won't "age" in the same way that stuff from last century did. Old movies, old recordings, old photos... I was watching some Marx Brothers stuff with my son and realized it was about 90 years old, and it looks it. It's decrepit. I have some recordings from the early 1900s that sound like they're echoing down the halls of time. 200 years from now, people will be able to watch our TV shows and count the pores on someone's face, and hear every polished whisper on every pop album. I'm sure stuff will feel dated as fashions change, and new technology will make what we have pretty outmoded, but everything is so available and so accurately reproduced that we're just kind of drowning under the weight of it, and all those peculiarities of media from the past are available now as stylistic choices for new creations. You can get that 1960s film quality or that 70s drum sound. It's no wonder people look backwards under these conditions. And I think the concern with "authenticity" in a lot of metal creates another pressure to look backwards. Having said that, I do think there's new stuff happening, even if it's only incrementally new, even if marketable retro heavy metal and thrash and throwback DM and 2nd wave nostalgia acts are everywhere you turn.

  9. And it really shouldn't be. So much is intentionally off key (maybe minor/modal scale stuff going on but I don't remember enough of theory to pick them out) that it just shouldn't work, but it does.

    What's on your mind?

    This. Every onslaught of limited edition splatter vinyl just smacks of desperation. I do keep an ear out for new releases and band names that get positive mentions a few times so might be worth checking out but there is just too much stuff out there to really get worried about missing something. Year end lists are a joke, so I just sit back and observe and see what shit floats to the top.

  11. Now I'm not saying that all 8 of these will be making an appearance on my year end list. I'm thinking maybe just 3 or 4 of these will make the grade because there are so many other albums this year that I liked far better. But for anyone who might be interested or curious these are the 8 Goatmaster approved albums from this year's Decibel list: 4. Apparition - Feel 8. Lamp of Murmuur - Submission and Slavery 16. Cerebral Rot - Excretion of Mortality 19. Worm - Foreverglade 26. Craven Idol - Forked Tongues 29. Dungeon Serpent - World of Sorrows 34. Spectral Wound - A Diabolic Thirst 39. Darkthrone - Eternal Hails
