Cool rendering, I love it!

^ Same, this is some extreme quality stuff. Makes you wanna come back to it after you're done listening the whole thing, few albums have such power. Dodecahedron's new album is also fucking phenomenal. I'll definitely be giving these two more spins in the next few days, they blew me away.

^ Damn, lots of huge names there. Too bad that your bro won't be able to come, but as you said life goes on. Enjoy the hell out of it! Anyway, the new Nightbringer is bloody fantastic, holy shit. I'm afraid I'm gonna have a bad time making my end year list. I thought that 2017 would never top last year but here we are, with tons of amazing albums and we're not even in June.

^ good timing, I've been also delaying watching the second season since it came out and yours is the only opinion I've read so far. I might start watching it very soon. Started watching Utopia, which was recommended to me by a friend of mine like two years ago or something. And fuck, I hate myself for delaying it so much. It's bloody awesome, watched 2 episodes so far and I'm really enjoying it. The photography and colors are stunning. The actors are also great, especially Fiona O'Shaughnessy as Jessica Hyde and Neil Maskell as Arby (so fucking creepy he is).

They're not to blame if he's acted like a fucking twat, I mean Ghost's concept was meant to be like this from the start. There's a contract, and that has to be respected. But then again I also don't give a fuck, as long as the band's music quality doesn't get fucked up because of this ridiculous drama. Brujería is a band I've always wanted to dig in, checked some songs from them and they sound really good. I'll definitely be giving them a go this weekend, prolly. Speaking of Asesino, I really hope they'll release a new album one of these days. It's been ages since Cristo Satánico came out.

Agreed, as long as Papa Emeritus doesn't launch a crowdfunding I think they're safe from getting a cancer.

This is fucking disgusting. Always liked Ghost and appreciated Papa Emeritus but with this "anonymous members" shit story, things could only go wrong. I'm disappointed.

^ Thanks for voting, voted yours! Guys, the coldrain pic on their page has been there for ages, time for a change maybe: https://www.last.fm/music/coldrain/+images/11f934b3daaad4d31ae60687d4bcf6bc Thanks in advance to y'all, have a great evening!

https://agoniarecords.bandcamp.com/album/in-extremis Just checked out this new beast and fuck, I was so skeptical since the samples didn't succeed to seduce me but this got me almost by surprise. Six years after Blasphemers' Malediction and now they're finally back with an absolute killer, which was mixed and mastered by Haldor Grunberg (Blaze of Perdition, Non Opus Dei). I highly recommend this.

Great list, Bear! I have to retry with that Rude album, I enjoyed it but maybe wasn't in an old school dm mood at the time. It's a great album in any case, that's for sure. Also loved that Helheim album and I still don't know why I haven't given it another spin since the first time, brilliant stuff! Fuck, how haven't I heard about this before? I'm gonna put it on my list and check it out soon. The rest of the bands seem interesting too. (still have to check out Black Magic SS)

^ I had to check that out and holy shit, I laughed probably more than I should have.

Started playing Final Fantasy XV and call me crazy if you want but so far I think that FF XIII is way better. The main problem with XV is that the story doesn't make you feel anything, it's tasteless. There's hardly anything interesting that catches your attention, you just have to follow the objectives and see what happens next. Can't say I'm not enjoying it but definitely not as much as I enjoyed XIII, for example. I don't know what's to blame, really. Maybe the messy open world concept that I find useless. But oh well, I will keep on going till the end of it and see how things evolve.

I personally just write down on a Word doc every music release I listen to! There are quite a lot on your list, I'll definitely check it out soon. I need to give Urraca another spin, but it's truly an amazing piece of work. And obviously that Venenum album is absolutely magisterial! Still have to check out the three other bands of your tiny list. Already checked out some tracks off of that new Wormwood album so I think I might probably dig it. As for me, I'd say (in no particular order): Soen — Lykaia Need — Hegaiamas: A Song for Freedom Immolation — Atonement Venenum — Trance of Death Pallbearer — Heartless Of course it's still to soon to determine our absolute favorites of the year but I thought it'd be great to know what we've been listening up to now. And I agree with you, death metal is really killing it this year.

Need to try again with that new Heretoir album, it was good but at some point I found it to be unnecessarily long that it lost my attention. The atmosphere is beautiful though, I'll give 'em that. I'm curious to know what are people's favorite albums that came out this year so far?

Watched Logan today, it was really great. I'm not familiar with the X-men universe whatsoever even though I know a few things about it, and the only "on-screen" knowledge of Wolverine I ever had until today was the second film of the character. All that being said (and repeating myself), this was a very good movie despite some crucial and evident flaws that, imo, prevented this movie from being an excellent one. Not disappointed though, and if you hesitate going to the movies to watch it then don't. It's definitely worth your time (and money).

You Only Live 2wice is fucking huge, what an album, it was worth the wait. Can't stop spinning it.

^ Damn, now I think that I remember reading something about that a long time ago. Thanks for the information.

^ I'm still gonna check it out for the sake of it but now I'm skeptical as fuck. At least I won't be disappointed if I don't like it. Haha!

^ Same. Also I still have to check out their latest album, I'm glad that they're back.

Just saw a video where a dude was ripping off a Quran and criticizing Islam and people started calling that shit "hate speech" lol. Fucking unbelievable. You can't criticize or protest against Islam without having an army of narrow minded specimens spitting at you for it, just because they feel fucking offended. Poor babies.

His passing is really sad, especially knowing how young he was. A heart-attack at 42... Ouch. And I'm so fucking stoked for that new Peste Noire album!! La Chaise-Dyable was really great and L'Ordure à l'état pur is incredible. Can't wait!

Man I'm just realizing that Naruto Shippuden started airing 10 years ago and is now over. Fuck, I was 11 when it started airing. Like, holy shit. How. Time flies like crazy. And it's crazier to me that 10 years ago I was only 11, hell, dude.

Never heard of them but this sounds sick as fuck, and those vocals are fucking diabolical. I love it, will check out the album as soon as I can. Hellish stuff.
