New album teaser! <3

LMAO they've got to be kidding me with that shady tracklist division... (10 unique tracks in total out of which 4 are new, 2 per release)

Checked out this band Vallenfyre today because I saw that their new album is out. Only listened through once (to both albums), but I'm certainly likin' what I'm hearin'. Nice rough old-school influenced doomy death metal with some faster bits sprinkled here and there. They're supposed to be a "supergroup" of sorts, I've heard - some dude from Paradise Lost is in it, I dunno (I don't listen to the 'Lost). Anyway, recommended for fans of gritty dark metal!

I just read that writing from Fischer a few hours ago. Very nice and thoughtful. Been spinnin' Triptykon's releases lately, Giger's art complemented the music perfectly. Anyway, not to veer off topic too much: saw the new Godzilla yesterday in IMAX 3D. It was an average movie, albeit gorgeous in the visuals. I expected a lot more Godzilla footage, instead they showed those lame-ass other monsters more. Shame. Anyway, the last 40 minutes almost made up for it. An okay-ish experience. Also, I'm planning to watch the whole franchise in chronological order in the future. Should be fun. I only ever saw the American remake, the Biollante one and like 10 mins from the King Kong one. xD

All those new songs, damnnnnn *___*

Yup, may he rest in peace. All the more sad that it was apparently some stupid ordinary accident. Dude was amazing.

A pic of the extra-br00tal limited edition thingie: https://scontent-a-fra.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/t1.0-9/1619466_642462622501920_7811491032534815126_n.jpg

/grows CGI extensions on his body /body morphs into CGI /...it's a bear! halp.

Finished season 2 of Gin no saji recently. It was a pretty fun and heartwarming season, just like the first one. Good mix of happy and sad moments, still with a kinda hopeful ending. Began watching Sakamichi no Apollon, since I left off with it while it was airing back in the day (around halftime maybe?), so I'm going through it all over again. Also, out of the new stuff I started Knights of Sidonia. I don't care for the CGI but I'm gonna give it a few more eps to see where it goes (the setting is interesting). Tho so far it feels like Attack on Titan - in Space! lol.

NAISU

SPEECIES have just uploaded their new PV: ...and also mentioned that they are working on their 2nd full-length album - more info about that to come in a few months (or the release itself?).

Yay~ ex-Vior gloire~ Hopefully we'll get to hear dat single too.

Yayyy

noooooooooooooo His/their style was so cool.

for info: this is a vk parody band made up of comedians

dat combo

awww that was pretty boring.

"Leppod" lol.

I gotta say, the new Aborted album The Necrotic Manifesto is just excellent! No-nonsense death metal with a killer aggressive & polished sound and awesome riffs. Their previous one (Global Flatline) is one of the peaks of their career imo, and this easily comes close as well. The new Hour of Penance full-length Regicide is pretty sweet as well... those guys are totally crazy. Brutally precise, extremely professionally executed death assault.

Live footage digest (bonus stuff for the limited edition):

Awesome lists! Dammit, there's tons of stuff on there that I actually either planned to watch or even downloaded but haven't seen yet (and then some more). xD I feel so under-educated. ;w; Anyway, here's my itsby-bitsy teeny-weeny '20s-'30s horror listy thingie~ 1. Bride of Frankenstein I actually only have a very faint recollection of watching the first movie, so this takes the cake for me. Lots of memorable scenes, great atmosphere and settings, Boris Karloff is awesome and so is Elsa Lanchester in her small but all the more significant role(s). Also gotta mention Ernest Thesiger playing Dr. Pretorious, delightfully sinister and cool. 2. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari This movie looks so iconic and amazing it's not even funny. I didn't know what to really expect when I first watched it (save for weird set designs and lots of eye makeup, lol) but it blew me away. It was a lot more exciting and intriguing than what I originally expected. The frame-like narrative is an excellent touch as well, makes it more interesting. 3. Dracula Well it's Tod Browning directing Béla Lugosi in a vampire movie, no wonder it's considered an all-time classic. Very good and eerie atmospheres and moods coupled with that wonderfully unsettling and mesmerising vibe Lugosi brings to his character...and dat accent! A real solid flick that is completely enjoyable to watch even today. 4. The Hands of Orlac I checked this movie out after nosing around a bit on IMDB and discovering it had familiar staff/cast members who brought the story of Caligari to life. I wasn't disappointed! This is one of the coolest silent movies I've ever seen, with genuinely creepy and nightmare-like atmosphere you could cut with a knife. Lots of great scenes and expressions -- also props for the superb soundtrack! 5. Dracula Drac again, hah! This is the Spanish version that was shot parallel to the Lugosi classic with the same sets, but of course different actors. I dunno, there's just something about the Count of Carlos Villarías and the Renfield of Pablo Álvarez Rubio that really makes it work. A lot more over the top, I guess that's the selling point for me, lol. Close in quality to Lugosi's movie! Already have these in my "to-watch" file folders on my USB: - The Fall of the House of Usher - Der müde Tod - Faust - Schatten - The Golem - Vampyr - Waxworks

^ I'll still try watching The Uninvited and maybe Body Snatcher, yeah. Anyway, today me and my pal finished the Child's Play movies with Curse of Chucky, which was kinda crappy. Not much happening for half an hour, and even after that it's kinda tedious and not scary and/or funny at all, maybe in some small bits here and there. Very disappointing. Also they tried to etch it into the bigger Chucky story/universe and failed miserably imo (continuity...wut is dat?).

Kill Your Darlings - Pretty okay "based on real events" movie about some of the "beat" poets' university life. William Burroughs (played by Ben Foster) was the best, he cracked me up, lol. Overall a very nice experience to watch.

You encapsulated my overall feelings brilliantly with this one sentence. Basically this is what I feel about the album. Lots of cool parts here and there and very interesting sounds, but all in all it is too long, boring and tedious to listen to (for me at least). I actually tried to listen to it for a third time but somehow lost the willpower, lol.

Glad you enjoyed Stake Land and Snowpiercer, two solid movies.
