I just couldn't let it slip, and been listening to their stuff since yesterday night, haha. So far the first album and the other random stuff around that era are my favorite by far. Excellent pure heavy metal joy. The 2nd album has its moments too, but I couldn't get into it much (I found the production to be kinda messy and overly noisy too, but maybe that's just the rip I managed to track down). Same for the 3rd one, only that one is actually downright boring at parts. Haven't checked out their 2012 album yet, but hoping it will kick my ass more than their mid-'80s stuff. Also, I didn't find Amulet as amazing as I thought I would, but they're still solid. I liked the demo a bit better than the album. But extra shout-out to "The Flight" - so cool '80s feeling synth interlude! (rarely does a random interlude catch my attention this much on a metal record, lol)

They look like they're so much fun live~ ;w;

Finally a vk album in 2017 to look forward to, and a pretty cool cover art too!

Thanks for the further recc's! I've never actually listened to Angel Witch, oops. I think I'm okay with those heaps of bands to check out for now.

Oh wow, thank you! I knew I could count on you. I'm not really feelin' Portrait and Crowley, but the others sound really kickass, especially Luzifer, Metal Grave and Hell. So now I'll dive into this rabbit hole. xD

Hey guys, can anyone hook me up with some cool occult heavy metvlz in the vein of Mercyful Fate, In Solitude, Attic etc? Thanks in advance. Also, I have concluded that "Sister" by In Solitude has got to be one of the best modern-day rock/metal albums ever.

Will 2017 finally be His second coming? #stayspatul'd

Just saw 20th Century Women. Beautiful, immersive movie about a teenage boy and how his life is intertwined and influenced by the lives of the girls/women surrounding him, set at the end of the '70s (accordingly, expect cool post-punk/new wave soundtrack and the occasional moshpit / Talking Heads dance-out scene ofc). Just excellent acting and script. Amazing.

Hey, this sounds kinda fun. Reminds me of later-era NEGA beefed-up a bit.

Awesome! Can't wait.

I really liked this one, unlike Liar. Great energy and some fun crazy bits. Nothing too memorable but this is good enough for me. I actually went back and re-listened to Liar as well, and now I can appreciate it a bit more too.

Cool thread idea! I love me some Animals As Leaders, and used to listen to Chimp Spanner and Angel Vivaldi quite a lot too (been neglecting them a bit lately somehow). Also, the band Blotted Science recently came to my attention, gonna try them out soon. The mighty Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse) is on bass!

oh no...

ugh, THIS.

Nice one.

awww...

Gonna try to be at the Budapest gig. Finally, he is playing at A38 (a.k.a. the coolest venue with the arguably best sound system in Budapest).

I found myself being less and less interested as the pages passed by, so dropped this altogether. Meh. Also recently finished Asleep in the Sun by Adolfo Bioy Casares, which was a quick and interesting read! With a bit of tweaks here and there I could totally imagine David Lynch or maybe Denis Villeneuve (or some European arthouse director) adapting this into a surreal unsettling movie. Mystery and suspense lurking in the background, quirky dark characters and some unexpected humor. It was everything I could have wanted in 200 pages. On the topic of 'currently reading', I'm about 1/3 through Patrick Ness' young adult novel More Than This. I admit, I've been struggling a bit with the actual 'current' plot of the book, while finding the flashbacks much much more intriguing to read ... but it figures I guess, since most of the story so far is a guy being alone in a weird empty world, lol. Things are starting to pick up though, so I'm curious what it'll all transpire to in the end. I've also just begun dipping my toes into Paul Auster's latest gargantuan novel, titled 4 3 2 1, apparently featuring the multiple 'could-have-been' lives of a guy born in the mid-20th century, featuring autobiographical elements and whatnot. Seems like a daunting read (it's 860 pages of zipping back and forth between parallel narratives!), but if nothing else, it's evident from the first 30 pages that Auster still knows how to elegantly deliver his thoughts... so I'm hoping it'll be a pleasure to read.

Cool stuff! I dig it.

Drab Majesty are so good! Also, that video is perfection.

^ I love both of those actually! Great stuff.
