Has anyone mentioned the new Friendship record?

[Strange Tales]

Yea I posted it a couple pages back. Album still rips my face off.

This is definitely my favourite album with clean singing for the year.
Vidret thinks its too cheesy and not hard enough, DoS thinks it's too clean (I think).

Both statements are correct.

What is lost in both of those statements is that it is fucking shredtastic, and constantly epic, with glorious song-writing and awesomeness. And Kristian Niemann is one of my favourite guitarists since hearing him on Secret of the Runes.

[Strange Tales]

Another album in the ring:
https://lessart.bandcamp.com/album/strangled-light

Emotive hardcore/post-hardcore. Really damn good album.

[ummohyeah]

Wall's "Untitled" record is one of my favorite this year. Lik[youtube][/youtube]e holy fucking Swell Maps, Fugazi, Blonde Redhead, Wire, Neu!, Sleater Kinney, Beak>, etc etc etc. This track alone -- that fuckin outro.

I'm with those guys and not you.

Put it on and like, hey, this riff is ok. Then the song develops and these awful stereotype vocals and chorus happen.

[GardenoftheDead]

Don't sleep on the new Godflesh

[goroth]

If you kids are too lame to enjoy Sorcerer, who am I to try and try and change that?

Surely the Immolation album that dropped earlier this year is amongst the best?
Definitely my favourite Immolation since Close to a World Below.

I heard the new Goroth 'Modular Dinosaur' album is tight!

[D.o.S.]

The Body put out an Classic-Style (i.e. loud guitars and drums) record this week:
https://thebody.bandcamp.com/album/a-home-on-earth

Because I am boring and predictable I love it.

Also I'm finally digging into the new Full of Hell/Body collaboration. Which I also love, because I am a simple man, like the Skynerd song.

i'm having trouble getting into that one.

[D.o.S.]

I think it makes more sense as a gross pop-noise metal (what a bullshit genre but it's what I feel) Full of Hell record, which seems to be the general body aesthetic with collabs -- they tend to take on more of the style of the collaborator.

[rustywire]

One of the most depressing hiphop songs I've heard was released this week, by a fella who used to hang around AOL public chats like 14 years ago when he was unsigned and full of potential.

Hopsin - Ill Mind of Hopsin 9.

Crazy situation

Goddamn, this is splendid.


Also digging new records by Godflesh and Dalek.
