So, pretty big fan of dethklok/metalocalypse.

New album is very meh and I cant figure out exactly what it is. Nothing really stood out, and it sounded like a weird mix of Deth Album III and Galaktikon 2. Which I'd consider the weakest links in Brendons discography. Still enjoy them, but not this one.

Also went back to the Murmaider well, and it still doesn't hold up to the first one.

I thought it was a mixed bag myself. Murmaider III was one of the better songs but didn't really sound anything like the other two Murmaiders, which was odd and disappointing. Dethalbum III was better.
 
Just found out there's a new Taake album. Shit's sounding good like usual.
Some bonus French stuff I like sharing:
And while we're on the topic I do find it amusing how Blackbraid keeps popping up in the recommended section on pretty much anything I watch.

I agree that it's a pretty good album. I caught the premier a bit late but thankfully premiers allow you to scroll back to the beginning.

I see it all the time as well and i don't think there is anyway to block it without logging in.
 
I kind of thought myrkur's music wasn't that bad, maybe it's just cuz i like that niche edgy/dark solo female singer/songwriter music like Lingua Ignota, Nicole Dollanghanger and Chelsea Wolfe etc and i viewed her as like a metal variant of that market. I didn't really mind/care that she wasn't recording her shit in some basement on a toys r us recording machine. I think some of her first releases are still pretty good.

Myrkur's folk album is pretty good.

Extremely perverse Tasmanian death metal/goregrind 🇦🇺 🤘 Awesome shit especially for 2001


Also apparently the lyrics and titles from this album were so extreme that the band were fined by australian feds and hundreds of copies of the album were seized and destroyed. See here

Curious about other metalhead kiwis do you support your favourite indie artists by buying their merch/CDs/Vinyls etc. ? I been meaning to buy some from bandcamp because I want to both support them and also own their music physically for the better sound quality.

Nowhere near as much as I used to, largely because I live in a way smaller place now, and moving all that shit was a pain in the ass. Anyway, like someone else said, Bandcamp donates to troon shit, so while you can use it, it's better to support a band directly at a show or through their own website/their record labels website if they have one. There's a few distros still around too, like Hells Headbangers.

I figure if a band is using Bandcamp, that's probably how they want to sell stuff. But I wait for Bandcamp Friday, if it's something that won't sell out. Sometimes bands sell lossless digital through some other means, but not often.

CDs are looking dead and distros offload them in bulk for nothing, but somehow cassettes have become a sexy thing. Not really sure if people are putting them into walkmans or using them as display items or what.

The real money is in t-shirts and custom weed grinders, perhaps.
 
Apparently there was a documentary on Wino that came out this year, totally missed it. He is a great guitarist, I think he is best known for his time in Saint Vitus, but he has some great stuff in The Obsessed/Spirit Caravan/Shrinebuilder.
