People who complain about their lack of freedom and at the same time, without realizing it, agree with those restrictions on their freedom; well, these people are cringe inducing.

(yes, there are people like that)

Whether you're a fan of the 1990 series or a fan of the book (or none of both) I think you're still gonna like it, but then again the best way to find out is by actually watching it. 

But I'd understand if you've had bad experiences with movies that got too much positive feedback and ended up being utter shite. 

^ Fair enough man.

Wondering if someone has already checked out the new Satyricon album? It leaked a few weeks ago but the negative criticism around it are a turn off, still gonna end up checking it out soon anyway. 

I've been spinning Hall of the Mountain King from Savatage recently and what an album that is. Jon Oliva is definitely one of my all-time favorite heavy metal vocalists. What a man, what a voice.

Guys, seriously check out the new Cannabis Corpse album. I know they seem kinda like a joke band (their song titles sure make me chuckle at least xD), but this is some of the most pulverizing, crushing, solid and catchy death metal I've heard in a while. One of my go-to feelgood bands, they always make quality stuff.

I was planning to check it out very soon and saw on lastfm that you were listening to it, so it's a good timing from you because I was gonna ask your opinion on it!

I'm not one of those who hate Myrkur with passion, but I don't like it either. Not one bit. It's shit. But after this atrocity of a cover song I hope she just drives off a cliff or gets raped by a fucking bear or something. That is awful.

It's funny how you say that you don't hate her with passion yet you take it 100% personal in the next sentence. You're a legend, man.

Couldn't fall in love with Myrkur when I checked out M although it was a decent album IMO, had very good moments too. Not my cup of tea. 

Same here, need to go back there and do my deep analysis of the thing now that I'm recovering from it (no puns intended at all).

Watched IT (2017) today and it was so good. Definitely has a darker vibe than the first adaptation and also has a good humorous tone which I totally loved. It is also differently built up and there are some small details that differ from the old version. Pennywise is absolutely amazing and seems even crazier than the one from 1990. Bill Skarsgård is the man, he killed it. I have only good things to say about this movie. One of my favorites of the year.

Funny thing about Narcos atm is that a lot of people where  very sceptical due to the events and a few specific  death's in season 2, but most people seem to think that this is a huge step up from season 2 which again was a huge step up from season 1. Seems to be going the right way for sure.

I had no doubt about this to be honest, especially knowing how the story goes further and deeper than revolving around only one person. I'm three episodes in and it's brilliant so far, and as you say, a huge step up compared to previous season. 

I was eager to see the Cali Cartel being portrayed and its characters being developed by the writers and actors and so far I'm really getting what I wanted. Top stuff for sure.

Season 3 of Narcos was released last Friday. I watched the first episode today and holy shit, it's sick as hell... looks like it's gonna be a damn good season.

Formed in 1995 and released a demo in 95 and an EP in 98, but they were silent between 98 and 2017 and didn't release a single thing in that period of time. But their debut was released earlier this year and is one of the best releases of the year, if not the best. Original and unique, but without losing their classic Hellenic sound. They got the same, classic Hellenic feeling as old Necromantia, Rotting Christ, Varathron, Tatir, Kawir, and the newer band Ithaqua. Been spinning this album a lot lately and I absolutely love it.

 

Must have for any fan of Hellenic black metal!!!

Damn, I loved this one and I remember giving it a very high score. I'm glad you're mentioning them because it's as you say; one of the best albums released so far! I highly recommend it as well. I'm glad I came across them. 

Certainly black metal, but since I'm interested in discovering lots of dungeon synth I think I'll take recommendations of both if possible. Will start with From the Throne of Hate, then! Thankies.

You could say so, but it's actually been 4 years since their last album. 5 years when the new one comes out. But it doesn't feel that long at all. Time's running fast atm.

True that, time runs fast. But I was particularly thinking about the enormous gap that there is between Oath Bound and Old Mornings Dawn (7 years or so). Anyway, I gave Minas Morgul yet another spin today... what an album, timeless... What an atmosphere. 

I'm gonna be counting the days until the new album gets released (and also spinning the whole band's discography but that goes without saying, right?). 

By the way, and if I'm honest, I wouldn't mind Caladan Brood announcing a new album as well. The world is about to end so they might as well drop new stuff already, it's now or never guys. 

I'm curious about Elffor. What album would you recommend me to start out with? I have a good feeling about them although their discography seems to be such a mess with all those alternate versions, lol. 

HOLY. 

SHIT.

I'm. So. Fucking. Stoked. I never thought they'd release something so soon and I'm happy we're getting a new album four years later.

Fun fact: the two members of Summoning does not rehears anything before recording, and their guitarist, Protector, does not own a guitar. He just borrows one for each recording process.

Never knew this. One of the most metal things I can think of, lol. 

I can for sure say that I will never get over giru's disbandment, especially because I never got the chance to attend a concert of the band that introduced me to VK -not to mention that they're my favorite band and helped me go through so much shit back then. If not for them, I'd probably have gotten into VK  way later than 2008-2009 and wouldn't be as happy as I am of discovering such an amazing world.

LIN, Sel'm, SCREW and BORN were among my favorite VK bands as well. They all had tough times at some point in their career, mainly musically speaking but all of them also delivered and made me a proud listener.

While I don't think I can say it's their best song ever, it's certainly their best song since 壊れていく世界.

Wouldn't be so sure about this but 壊れていく世界 surely is their best song and one of the greatest songs to ever grace the VK scene. 

Spinning Nemesis Divina from Satyricon right now, I had forgotten how fucking great that album is!! 

I'm into an Enslaved marathon right now (well, sort of actually) and I'm slowly but surely discovering some great albums. Thus far I've listened three albums from their prog era, namely Vertebrae (which is good but also kind of meh), RIITIIR (astonishing imo) and their latest released album which is also very good imo. 

As for Cradle of Filth, I made sure to take note of your recommendations. Will start a CoF marathon pretty soon as well so that's a nice timing, mate. 

I personally happen to enjoy everything since Communion, with a preference for that one over the rest since their come-back. It seems to me that they know pretty well how to fuck with the symphonic/orchestral parts and I don't think it's pointless. It adds up so much to the music but then again I just think you've got to like it. 

The new Satyricon sounds so good! 

I liked the new song from Enslaved, what I don't get is the reason of dropping the longest track off the new album as a single. I'm not too much into Enslaved anyway but their two first albums are timeless imo, absolutely stellar. I think I'm gonna enjoy this new album!

Btw I'm not into Cradle of Filth either but that new song they dropped is surprisingly good, I like it a lot. I haven't listened much from the band anyway but this one could be my starting point, maybe. 

Septicflesh also dropped another single off their new album and hell, it sounds so good and the orchestral parts are so epic! Can't wait for Codex Omega to drop. 

Here's a youtube link in case people are lazy to download it. Decent song, although I'm not fond of this particular one. 

Could anyone recommend me an album from Aimer to start out with? I've seen that the latest output was highly acclaimed by almost everyone so I would want to get some recommendations knowing I never listened anything from the artist. 

I came to think that if any religion was even close to being perfect people wouldn't be cherry picking.

In other news, two albums I've been waiting to be released have leaked and I'm so happy.

Not a fan of the artwork but im excited for the album xD 

Same, I expected something better.... 

Finished watching Ushio to Tora and it was very good! A mix of humor, cool stuff, feels and avoiding lots of anime cliché. Very good stuff.

In other news, started watching Boku No Hero Academia. I'm five episodes in so far and I'm really digging it! Awesome shit. 

They've improved so much since their debut, which by the way is really good but unfortunately those drums just don't work for me. Their two latest outputs are god tier anyway, and I'm blown away by the new one. 

Selvans! Their new album is on my list but I never listened anything from them. Might as well start with Lupercalia and then attack their new album, seems like a good plan to me (pretty sure I'm gonna adore these guys too).

EDIT: Holy hell, Lupercalia is absolutely astonishing! What a sweet discovery, I love it. Can't wait to check out the new album. 

Still related to Avantgarde Music:

I prefer this one to their debut, a really great album from Wode although I wish it was a little bit longer. And boy, that artwork is simply just magnificent!

And I've had Oceans Ate Alaska new album, Hikari, on repeat since it's release. Just a sick metalcore release with crazy rhythms, and meditative Japanese sections just because. 

It's a very good album and I was very surprised by it. Hansha is such a beautiful track

Also glad to see Rings of Saturn back with a new album. The music is still sick, and I love the new orchestral elements, but the production was a letdown. It sounds so muddy, it took away from the brutality. Literally ruined the album for me.

I agree the production is a bit of a letdown, sadly. I like the addition of melodic elements and the RoS signature which is always pretty recognizable. Good album that could have been better but since it's RoS that's what sticks with you the most after you're finished listening the album. 

I'm also stoked for the new Thy Art album, chances are it's gonna be an absolute banger. 

The new Battle Dagorath album is an absolute masterpiece of eternal darkness. Deliciously executed ambient black metal that sometimes reminds me of the legendary Darkspace, which I absolutely adore. This album is very likely to end up on my end year list and I'm gonna be spinning it A FUCKING LOT. Instant favorite. 

REDEEMER also has one of the most glorious openers on the band's discography imo. The live version is pure joy. 

Amazing track and best one from the new EP by fucking miles.
