ditto... shit's awesome

I really need to get back into checking out newer metal releases.. I keep going back to my favourites when I should be looking forward into the future!

also I'm still trying to find Steve Reich influenced metal (or even just metal that is repetitive with no choruses and/or quick changes.. I'm certain it's out there, if anyone has some recommendations I'm all ears!

you should check out Oranssi Pazuzu, they're pretty proggy.

Dopesmoker always was a little overrated, I prefer Holy Mountain more for regular listening.

the new isis live album has a huge sound. they ended the band a few years back, and aaron harris has been working as a producer since then, so you know this is a special live album

Agreed. I've a actually barely listened to Dopesmoker comparatively. Just the length gets to me sometimes.

I absolutely love OM though, I've heard all those albums a ton. I never understood why Sleep is so much bigger honestly. To my ears they sound almost the same. And yet seeing OM live last year - there were maybe 150-200 people there? Tops? Sleep however sold out a 1500 capacity venue last month!

I haven't listened to many of those live albums, but I've recently been starting to listen to Isis again so I may have to give it a try.. I love that 15+ minute version of Celestial that they played live.

I got so burned out on post-metal but I'm kinda starting to enjoy it again.. and may actually end up writing some again someday.

^ that 15-min version (actually a JKB remix) was the very last thing I saw of them live right before they called it quits. it will forever be a special memory.

having said that, I'm not really excited by these live albums. idk why, they don't grab me.

JKB remixes are some of the best things in metal. All he touches is wonderful:

Hey how about EARTH

hey how about the EARTH JKB REMIX

I think I want this played at my funeral.

Right on, I had no idea that existed!

Earth is fuckin' great. Saw them in a smaller venue last Fall and it was awesome... I was supposed to see them again with Boris playing the Pink anniversary tour over the Winter but one of the two shows that got cancelled the whole tour had to be Minneapolis because Atsuo got sick (still pretty fucking bummed about that, I hope they come back)... Anyways... The recent collab album with The Bug is pretty good shit.

Also... NEW ELDER OUT TODAY! So fucking good!

Tomb Mold - Primordial Malignity. Do listen 

Found my mums metal stash...
