Thought it was longer ago!
Can I just say, without trying to be a preachy fuck - just google the guy in Vektor. Riffs are sick or whatever but that dude seems like a real fucking pile of shit. That being said I loved Black Future hard when it came out so it was one of those instances where I had to choose "ethos" vs "sick shreds". Personally there's too many bands out there with sick riffs to be overtly loyal to a riff..... also very aware I have a record from Profound Lore on my list and I have heard a lot of chatter recently about that dude so.....$harkToootth wrote:VEKTOR - 'Terminal Redux'
not saying I have a flawless record but even still.....I haven't either. I didn't love Soused and while I'm an admitted huge fan of everything up to and including "Monoliths and Dimensions" they have kind of lost me. Like no hate but I don't need it. Stephen O'Malley has been doing amazing collab stuff - I would count this one (https://trostrecords.bandcamp.com/album ... r-assembly) in that top of the decade maybe? Along with the other collabs he's done with Noble. All fuckin' slap hard.$harkToootth wrote:U and I are getting our forum cards removed cause I still haven't listened to any of the latest SUNN post 'Soused'
That wasn't preachy. Thanks for the heads up. I truly had no idea. Gross.retinal orbita wrote:Can I just say, without trying to be a preachy fuck - just google the guy in Vektor. Riffs are sick or whatever but that dude seems like a real fucking pile of shit.
2 good picks. The skeleton tree movie hit me like a truck.Eivind August wrote:So many, will have to make a list later. But need to mention A Crow Looked At Me. Lost my mother to cancer some months prior, and that album really hit me hard. Such an honest look at loss. Skeleton Tree hit me in a similar way as well. Heartwrenching but beautiful.

I’m an unabashed Wiese fanboy (obviously) but this is the best thing I think he’s done. I considered adding a Sissy Spacek release but there’s just too many to pick one. It might be “RIP” - or Wreck, or Duration Groups, Brath, the collab with K2, the collab with Smegma or maybe even Disfathom?$harkToootth wrote:@retinal -> Great call with 'Deviate From Balance'. Truly a magnum opus from a master. If I had to pick 1 THE RITA release... oph.... It would be BALLET FOOT POSITIONS. I have to find that one VOMIR collab. It was with this fine artist who added blast beats.
I can’t tell if they lack the social capital to make this “a thing” or thrash bros just don’t give a shit but it’s gotten literally no circulation. I know Wrest is sort of divisive in terms of “being cancelled” (to me, it’s a no brainer$harkToootth wrote:That wasn't preachy. Thanks for the heads up. I truly had no idea. Gross.
) but this dude..... it’s so trashy There's just too many. If one is going to hard time picking a best from FULL OF HELL, THE BODY, and/or THOU... then you have no fucking chance picking a best SISSY SPACEK from this decade. I know for a fact I listened to 'Lead Their Exit' more than any other... what was that trio of tapes that came out in 2016??? The guy from LIARS did a few sets with them too. Those were phenomenal!!!retinal orbita wrote:I’m an unabashed Wiese fanboy (obviously) but this is the best thing I think he’s done.

I appreciate this - in this day and age it’s tough to know how to carry a balanced approach to navigating this often complex and horrific world we live in. My philosophy is to believe victims and survivors. Making some Voivod rip off riffs does not override that....$harkToootth wrote:@retinal - I typed out a longer response to your other point but it read like I was tap dancing around an issue and the reality is, I agree with everything you are saying. I don't look to people who play, for lack of a better term, darker/heavier music to be role models but you need to have a bare minimum of human decency and cases like that, 100% violate my absolute bare minimum. Unacceptable.
I think it is lack of social capital (if we mean the same thing? Sorry, semantics). Not social capital on the issue. Social capital for press on the abuser. Think about it, Man from niche metal sub genre abuses wife is not going to be a headline for everyone the way Chris Brown's (multipleretinal orbita wrote:I can’t tell if they lack the social capital to make this “a thing” or thrash bros just don’t give a shit but it’s gotten literally no circulation.
) assaults would. When WREST's story was a thing, not that this is "funny" but... the idea of 'canceling' an artist who's niche genre is encompassed of fans who have more than a hint of misanthropy... it's not going to happen. I hope I'm articulating myself properly here. I'm just trying to say that fans of depressive black metal (I include myself in this segment) are probably not listening to protestors, about anything, anyway.I would have never pegged you for a DODECAHEDRON fan... the more you know!coldbrightsunlight wrote: 2 good picks.

One of the albums Falls of Rauros released this decade but I'm not sure which.
Kwintessens by Dodecahedron.
Grinderman 2.
