That Metal Thread

This fucking guy
 
Yeah they've undergone a weird late career revival on social media, the tik tok kids fuckin love them. When The Kite String Pops is turning into a new extreme music gateway.
Very odd, but it's a good album and it's always nice to hear that more people are getting into heavy music from the 90s. Hey, remember when metal was in the mainstream? Remember when you could see music videos by Biohazard, Testament, Pantera and Morbid Angel on fucking MTV?

It may be for the better giving the medium less exposure. Lord knows the scene tourists jumping in from social media and shitting up the place are bad enough.

Are "scene tourists" that bad, though? There's barely any metal shows in my neck of the woods. I'd appreciate it if they were in higher demand because it would mean that, well, there'd be more of them. I don't care if some of the audience only shows up because of an Internet fad. Last time I saw a band I really wanted to see was exactly 2 years ago.

My issue is that they pollute the online spaces. The endless kvetching inquisition over who's NSBM is insufferable.
 
Ran into a nice old split containing a confused mix of experimental, noise, and metal, with most of the projects included not having other releases. One in particular is raw minimal (opposed to super layered/reverby) drone doom that really hits the spot and reminds me a little of a doom equivalent of some LLN instrumentals.

I like their artworks but I'm also a sucker for space artworks.

The best ones, obviously:

That is very cool.

Semi-related—

Radio Free Innsmouth guy has been putting up the Reptil records. All recommended, in the order I think we should probably listen to them:




Those vocals are more Inquisition than Inquisition.
 
Adjudicator if you like. Christian Historical Byzantine Power Medal. Beast and Black is just a good band all around

You're the second person outside of the old Power Metal group I was in post about Judicator online and its thrown me off both times.
