I'm not letting this thread die and I will keep on posting in it until it's alive again.

How about some August Burns Red?

 

[MangoFoalix 24,951]

Hey, how about some The Devil Wears Prada?

 

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

Check out the madness that went down at the last show I went to. 

(just flip your screen to portrait)

 

Yet before all that, I got to do something special even before the show.

Attend a meet and greet with thrash legends Testament.

They are the M.A. Larsons of metal. They sign everything. 

Here we all are. Testament Legions: Milwaukee Chapter.

[MangoFoalix 24,951]

One of my current favorite songs right now. Can't wait till their new album in 2019.

 

[Twiliscael 3,960]

Whitechapel starts losing me after their first two, though I do like their self-titled more than I think I should.

AAAAAAS I HACK YOUR LIFELESS CORPSE WITH MY CHAINSAW

 

From my black metal plays today:

Maybe not the best Immortal album, but it's absolutely their most cold and aggressive. Like the Reign in Blood of black metal, this is a pummeling, vicious riff machine that's over as fast as it started.

 

Hated more than they deserve, while I'd fail to call Dark Funeral particularly unique, they just keep blasting and tremming their way into second-wave Stockholm-sound goodness.

 

Last but not least for now is Mizmor-Yodh. More modern black-doom where the doom parts and black parts are good enough to stand in an album on their own, let alone mixed in such a way here. 

 

@TwilySparky your devotion to keeping this thread alive is appreciated... this place never used to be dead for more than a few hours when I frequented this site, it's truly sad to see it in the state it's in now.

Why thank you

Also, this is still one of my favorite crossovers. This EP is absolutely FUCKING MASSIVE!

 

[JPunx 26]

Just a band i've been listening to for about a decade now. Still love what they come up(Temper Temper being my least favorite album though). 
 

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

Check out Lost In Vegas talking about their first metal show. 

 

[Oleks 1,993]

Just came across this great piece of music. I don't think it's been featured here:

 

[Denim&Venöm 18,829]

In memory of all the great rockers and metal heads we lost in 2018.

 

May they Rest In Power. 

[Twiliscael 3,960]

As it is NYE, I am going to post some of my favorite metal albums from this very year. Lots of good death and black came out, and alot of great sludge too. 

In no particular order:

 

Obliteration- Cenotaph Obscure

Obliteration puts out some of the best Autopsy worship to ever grace the earth, and their new album is no exception. Vile riffs and pummeling grooves aplenty, with a decidedly pyschedelic edge.

Revocation- The Outer Ones

Revocation is a band that I've liked for a while, but haven't ever really considered myself a huge fan (their guitarist's other band, Artificial Brain, however...). That being said, their 2018 output was a pleasant surprise in a year filled with great music.

Sepulcher- Panoptic Horror

Super cool death/thrash with a heavy hardcore influence, Sepulcher really stunned me this year. Never heard of this band before this album, but it got me to check out their other stuff as well. Music for beating skulls in to, plain and simple.

Spoiler

Misrule- Forced to Suffer

8 minutes of blasting, relentless, sludgy grindcore from some pit of hell somewhere. Definitely looking forward to see where this band goes, and hopefully more comes out soon.

Infernal Coil- Within A World Forgotten

Infernal Coil might have released one of the most chaotic and dense pieces of metal music ever recorded for their debut album this year. This is absolutely violent, pulverizing war metal that borders right up into deathgrind while still staying true to the Blasphemy influence. It doesn't get much more infernal than this.

Thou- Magus

Will Thou ever stop getting better? I really don't know. Consistently putting out fantastic smatterings of sludge album after album. Must hear for anyone looking for new sludge.

Imperial Triumphant- Vile Luxury

A dizzifying trek into discord and dissonance, with a surprisingly prominent aesthetic of roaring 20's flair. It's kind of hard to describe the music without just hearing it. Definitely checking out their other music while waiting for the next.

Sleep- The Sciences

Sleep decided to start making music again after 15 years, and we were once again graced with their legendary breed of stoner metal- and it's really good too.

møl: Jord

Haven't been as impressed with alot of blackgaze since Deafheaven's Sunbather was the cool kid on the block (even their own music), but this is a fantastic blackgaze release that probably got overlooked by alot of people.

Panopticon- The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness

Panopticon is an atmospheric black metal/folk music project that has been around for a while. Who would ever have thought that banjos and black metal would sound so damn good together? Anyhow, his new album is a 2 hour endeavor of 2 sides: 1 half of posty, atmospheric black metal to freeze over the coldest of tundras, and 1 half of beautiful, authentic folk music.

Bog Wraith- Omen

If more deathcore bands sounded like these guys, I'd be into alot more deathcore. Doesn't forget its death metal roots, has some killer riffing, but still isn't afraid to lay down a fat groove either. Became an instant fan of these guys upon hearing this, and excited to see where they go.

Harakiri For The Sky- Arson

Harakiri For The Sky's newest album is yet another foray into their particular breed of melodic black metal, post-metal, blackgaze, and more, and it's highly recommended. While not my favorite album of theirs, it is still a worthy entry.

...Here comes the part where I start spamming a bunch of old school death metal revivalist albums from 2018. There has been a huge influx of bands trying to return the genre more towards its roots, while also incorporating some of the better aspects of more modern death metal in order to make something that is pretty damn ideal. All of these albums rocked my socks off.

Honestly, there's so many more that I didn't post because this is taking me longer than I anticipated... cheers to  a great year of music and another one to come.
