LOAF: Thread for me and Loaf to post good music and no one else

I'm not sure if you faggots care but this album is 10/10

No, it's not actually very good. It's too chaotic and there's absolutely no feeling being evoked by those shreaks which sound more like obnoxious whiny teenage angst manifestations than actual vocals. The gutteral pig vocals at the end and the chugga chugga guitar riffs were sort of embarrassing. There's an effect on my brain that I get from listening to the technical wankery of those sorts of guitars, which don't allow for any feeling to be born, and instead grinds the senses like cold rusty gears, painfully.

Opinion noted and ignored. One of the most creative and inspired albums one heard in a long time.

I should add, that being chaotic isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's just that the way the guitar wank is sprinkled in there makes it sound like a ruckus more than a carefully assorted algebra of discordant music. Some bands truly are able to produce a sort of beauty in chaos, creating a sense of disarray but also a feeling that everything is exactly where it should be. That is a true work of genius, when you hear Le Sacre Du Printemps by Igor Stravinsky, or Obscura by Gorguts (who maintains raw intensity, without becoming showy. It's pure artistic expression, and no fluff. Perhaps the same could be said about My hero, Bela Bartok, and his string quartets). I think that's what the arrangements in that song amount to, is pure fluff. Grating, steel wool fluff being jammed into my brain.

It takes a few listens honestly but once it clicks the album gets me super hyped.

I've probably listened to it front to back five times in the last two days

I have a highly tuned musical ear and a lot of musical experience. I know fluff when I hear it.

No arguing that. Everything I know is a lie.

Jim, it's been a while since I've heard some good new black metal. I made this chart a couple years ago, but it still pretty much reflects my taste in black metal, I haven't really found anything new in a long time. Idk if you'd have any suggestions to add to this chart.

I recently ordered a 4 CD sun devoured earth box set limited to 100 copies, which was rather expensive. I got it for 55 dollars, but considering it's the only release they ever made besides a CD and a cassette for two of their other albums, and this one contains 7 albums of theirs, and it's one of my favorite bands ever, I figured I'd go for it.

I also got an atrax morgue CD which was limited to 120 copies, released in 2002, the last copy that was sold on discogs was sold in 2012, the album "sweetly". It's one of my favorite atrax morgue albums. Again, it was a little expensive, 30 dollars, but I figured it would be worth it because it's so rare and atrax morgue is one of my favorite bands, and it's also one of my favorite albums of theirs.

The last couple CDs I bought were another atrax morgue CD, slush of a maniac, which wasn't that expensive at all, and also the re-issue of Nuclear Death's Bride of Insect. I also bought the reissue of Life is Pain - Bloody Melancholy. I'd really like to get some more old school death metal CDs, and a beketh nexehmu CD, but unfortunately my death metal collection has always suffered because of the high prices of originals and reissues.

Going back a little further than the past couple weeks, I got a few swans CDs, to be kind, the glowing man, the new filth reissue, as well as body to body job to job (the original CD, not the reissue). I also got a swans poster from the gig I saw them live, the poster was specially made for that concert, and I got it custom framed.

Loaf, I thought we were friends? Why did you let me go all these years never listening to Graveland?

YouTube

they're nsbm, that's why.

They don't sound bad though. I remember actually asking a local store owner if he had graveland CDs some years ago, and he said that he doesn't carry racist bands in his store. I was like, oh, I didn't know they were racist, or something. I could have easily not stopped listening to them, but I think I felt bad that that happened.
