Any fans of DSBM or Post-Black hearing the new one from "And Now The Owls Are Smiling"? I'm absolutely loving this. Beautiful, heartbreaking, bleak.

Also, wouldn't it be better to have different threads for the worthwhile releases of the year? I don't think 20 threads is going to work but I don't know, I guess a black+death thread, another one for heavy+power+thrash and another one for doom+sludge+postmetal could work. I'm sure a lot of people don't care about most of the extreme metal I post.

Yeah, all I'm saying is that I tend to ignore most of what is posted here. I don't even read other posts if I have to be completely honest, just come here to post something, use the search function to check it has already been mentioned before and then completely forget about the hundreds of messages with genres I don't care. I don't think it's really useful as it is. I'm not saying we separate it into 10 threads but a 3-4 threads system could work. The amount of work someone has to put to check them all is far smaller than the effort of reading through a lot of albums from genres you're not interested.

Just a though. We can of course keep the actual system and I can keep not reading other people's posts. It's not the end of the world for me, just a suggestion on how to improve the forum. Being able to save time not reading other stuff could actually lead to people posting more in the threads they're interested in.

loved their 1st release and have them on follow but got no new album notifications, thanks for the heads up

French black metal. Sounds cool so far. Great cover too.

Aren't Gutvoid supposed to release their debut album this year? I need my fix of Demilich/Timeghoul/Blood Incantation-esque death metal

Maybe I'm just cheap, but $15 US for a digital release of a band nobody has heard of seems steep - that's basically $20 CAD. I was interested in this because Mindmaze was hyping it up, but I'll just avoid checking it out.

Hello Everyone,
I continue to be humbled by how well our album has been performing over the course of the past 5 weeks, both on streaming sites and with album sales on Bandcamp. It is the very subject of the latter that will be the subject of tonight's post. Having spoken with other members of the band and also after getting some reactions from the metal community, I've come to the determination that the price set for the digital purchase of the album on Bandcamp is a tad high. Part of the reason why we set the price where we did was to match the default pricing that the album received on iTunes and Amazon music, but upon further review I've noticed that the total album purchase price on those sites is $10, though purchasing individual songs runs for $1.
As such we are reducing the digital download on Bandcamp to $10. As we've had a couple dozen people already purchase the album at the higher price, I am going to keep a list of everyone who did so and will be offering a $5 discount on the physical CD when it comes out. I can't thank all of you enough for the massive support that you've shown us already and I want to do my due diligence to make sure that everyone is treated fairly. One silver-lining on this is that the money that you've already sent us will all go towards the CDs that will be released and failing some unforeseen issues, we now have the needed resources to get the CDs released at some point next month. I will be putting out further details shortly, thank you again everyone!

Good news, Spiner! Ominous Glory have heard people's pleas (not only their fans, but even their own band members!) and have dropped the price of the digital download to $10.00. Anyone who paid the full $15.00 will be credited $5.00 off for the CD.

Greek Black Metal Band Zaratus will release an Album this year. This is a sample song: https://youtu.be/Mohv9TM7xxk

Humanity’s Last Breath - Välde



Yes. This is a*-core-band. But this is some next level stuff. It could even be the final form of “something”-core.
With that said I think that this is one of the more interesting releases so far this year. It’s just a monolith of toxic sound pouring into my ears. If you’re not discouraged by the genre labeling and in the mood for something extremely bleak and heavy, check it out!

Ruins of Beverast's album is here and it rules.

New Spire now available, sounds huge from first listen. Black metal, but huge atmosphere and dissonant touches

Omination from Tunisia have put out the most dramatic and toweringly bleak funeral doom record, perhaps ever. It's called New Golgotha Repvblic and they call their style Apocalyptic funeral doom. I should get to writing a review for this - I was that moved.
