Chorus.fm Record of the Week Club • Page 80

I’ve fallen super far behind in this thread and gona try to catch up on some things I missed. The Ebu Gogo record is sick. The Doctor Who synths and Lightning Bolt comparisons are spot on. Pretty awesome so far

also video game boss music

 

Ebu Gogo is a fun proggy ride but ultimately not my thing. Will check out Gruvis Malt at some point to see if that lands for me more.

 

Bunker and Moses is so good so far and I’m only one track in.

 

@riotspray you’re up!

 

This caught me off guard lol. But since I can't stop listening to it, you all are going to have to too...

Age of Apocalypse - In Oblivion

 

nice. no idea what this sounds like, assuming it's metal or metal-adjacent

here is the album on spotify for everyone

 

Hah, I just listened to this the other day. It was okay, the songs were pretty good but the vocals are not what I'm looking in that kind of hardcore personally

 

I hope they got their name from X-Men

 

It's metal/hardcore. Vocals are definitely atypical to most modern/popular metal/hardcore but I can't get enough. Hopefully I can put at least one person on.

 

Yeah this Age of Apocalypse record rips. Just the right length too

 

Ebu Gogo was fun. It reminded me of the Battles album posted in here. It’s got that same control chaos kind of energy, only this one feels like it could be dropped in a Tim Burton Batman film.

 

Age of Apocalypse has some cool stuff going on. Every once in a while I get in the mood for some old school metal and it's neat to hear a modern take on that genre that has some newer hardcore influence too. Not sure it's something I'll play a ton but I'm glad I checked it out.

 

Yeah this is a cool mix of "spray paint a sick skeleton on a van" metal and hardcore. The vocals took me by surprise but they work. Good pick

 

Age of Apocalypse is a solid metal core album. It doesn’t break the mold much for me but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I was worried I’d hate the vocals based on the comments, however they were one of the better parts for me. It’s not the typical overly glossy cleans broken up by overused guttural growls. They felt a little more gritty which.

 

Does anyone have interest in doing another round?

 

Always down.
