The album's really quite good, and I can absolutely see the 'sterile sense of unease' (great one, that). Incredibly well put together and very organic sounding...not pastiche for the sake of it at all.

It better be good!! *shakes fist*

Just ordered a copy of "Songs From The Second Floor" and will definitely keep an eye out for "You The Living". Huge thanks for these recommendations, they sound fascinating! I recently picked up the Sergei Paradjanov box set and the kinetic motion of "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" was like...

Quick "holy heck!" update -> Darkspace. Darkspace. Darkspace. If anybody has yet to hear them, the disc "I" is unbelievably good. I won't say too much more. If anybody's interested, their Myspace (and I love the idea of Black Metal on Myspace) is here.

*sigh*

Thanks Mr. Tea, that's pretty spot on. I'm not accusing you of anything at all, Noel. I was just wondering out loud why there seemed to be very little negative response to this and other posts. Some of the things said in the post in question were so irredeemably offensive/unjustifiable that...

I'm not trying to dictate anybody's response at all, just expressing genuine surprise that a lot of people seem unplussed by some of the things said in this and other posts by the same individual. I'm allowed to express shock at seemingly casual racism, ain't I? I'll remember to express all...

Well, I can understand that...but at the same time the fact that Jaie gets treated with a kind of bemused attitude while spouting some of the most repellent trash I've ever seen on this forum is staggering. The fact that he received any reasonable responses at all to his posts beyond "Honestly...

God, there's nothing redeeming about that post at all, and the fact that people are defending THAT (and taking many of Jaie's other posts with a grain of salt) while simultaneously criticizing much, much lesser 'offenses' in other threads is totally bewildering to me.

Haxan. :D

Haven't heard Axis of Perdition yet (or checked out their visual side) but there's an Australian band called Portal that play absurdly twisted Death Metal (it's a stretch to even call it that) with a very strong Lovecraft influence that could probably stand to start their own one band Cosmic...

Amen to that...there seems to be a good cross-pond back and forth between Deathspell and Leviathan as I've detected traces of each other's work in each project. If it continues they'll probably morph into a single entity that will dominate Black Metal for perpetuity. This album should keep me...

Cinematic industrial black metal? I believe I'm sold...they sound like Blut Aus Nord with mascara from the description, or something. I've found Code666 to be hit and miss, but when they hit with a quality release it's pure gold. Added to the list to check out tonight...thanks!

Oh, dot(.) are SO good and absolutely crush most of their doom competition. Two of 'em are also in the group Graves that used to feature some members of Church of Misery and their album "Mortuary in Darkness" from 2006 is incredible. Haven't heard Hey Colossus other than the name being bandied...

Ah, you beat me to it! How is that Asbestosdeath? I'm a huge Sleep and OM fan but have yet to hear it...

Metal is still doing nicely. Recent highlights just from the past week's rotation: Leviathan "Massive Conspiracy Against All Life" (Moribund Records) (so incredibly good) Wrath of the Weak "Alogon" (Profound Lore) Arsis "We Are The Nightmare" (Nuclear Blast) Brain Drill "Apocalyptic Feasting"...

Incredibly heavy-handed symbolic ending aside, I remember it not being that bad. Most of the events that took place were fairly predictable (i.e. as soon as plot elements were introduced you kinda knew what was going to happen) but on the whole I believe it was all right (acting and character...

...and the thing I don't understand is that they're all tackling movies that are stone cold classics because they were done so well the first time and, as a result, have already entered the public consciousness and spanned legions of imitators. You could easily riff on the central idea of any...

Somebody got a look at the first draft of the script from John Fusco (Young Guns I & II, Hidalgo) and here it is. Modernized to soldiers taking on an evil druglord, natch. CGI explosions a-plenty.

Actually, I forgot the worst one: The Long Good Friday (reimagined by Paul WS Anderson of Resident Evil/Alien Vs Predator fame) Ugh.
