That Metal Thread

Good ass Maltese pig squealin BDM 🇲🇹
Forgot how hard this EP is, holy shit.


Kind of sucks this band basically pulled an Aborted later on & softened their sound up through the years and became more accessible, that just kind of ruins the entire point of death metal imo.

New Bell Witch. I like funeral doom (in doses) but I never could get into these guys. The album is just one song, nearly 90 minutes in length, which seems gimmicky to me but I suppose it's rewarding for those with more patience than I.

Digital media really lets them up the ante from gimmicky 70 minute songs.

Also, "Part 1"
 
Some note worthy songs I listened to today (both of them for the first time)

This one is Blackened Funeral Doom

This one is Post-Black Metal/Experimental Black Metal
I still believe that extreme metal needs more saxophones. Carpathian Forest and Taake both have pulled it off (though they both used session musicians for it)

Don't forget Necromantia

Not a metal take, but I've stated before that rock and roll was better with saxophone as lead instrument rather than guitar
 
Was looking through the Record Store Day stuff today and saw Shadows Fall got a pressing. I remember them being big as a teenager, though I never paid much mind because I was never a metalcore guy. Decided to toss the album on for shits and giggles and it's surprisingly not bad, even though I don't like the harsh vocals much.
They could never sit in any genre. You can hear the Testament worship right of the bat, and they dip into thrash plenty of times. Also saw them with God Forbid and that whole New Wave of American Metal that was basically LoG and Devildriver. But they also as you say, have metalcore sounds here and there as well.

Bit like Chimaira in that they had no real clear sound. Bit of a mishmash. I did always like Stepping outside the Circle, but I also like Over the Wall by Testament and thats what it feels like to me.
 
Crazy line up

HHR is celebrating their 1st anniversary so they are offering lots of other Edelweiss stuff. Leftovers from recent pressings. CDs, Tapes, LPs, shirts, patches, etc. Regular and special editions.
I just saw this I didn't know the singer had cancer! Did he manage to recover or is there any more info about him? I can't find hardly anything about that band but love their songs.

I had contact with the band ~3 weeks ago. He's still undergoing treatment but given his situation he's doing fine.

Outside their Instagram page (hungarianmushroompeople) and their shop they don't have any online presence.
