Really been digging the new shit from these guys .

 

If anyone is looking for some lo-fi black metal that worships Napoleon as the Antichrist then look no further:

Also new Krypts song over on Decibel, fittingly crushing:

Track Premiere: Krypts - 'The Reek of Loss' | Decibel Magazine

 

Tramainedous by Tramaine - Heavy Balance (Instrumental)

 

Opposite December is definitely still my favorite album from Poison The Well, but this week secured Tear from the Red as my second favorite. Band rules.

 

ive never been huge on those two tbh. think the band really hit their stride with you come before you

 

Glad you like that Departure Chandelier album, it fucking slays. This is the year of Nuclear War Now, with this, Cenotaphe, and Blue Hummingbird on the Left releases kicking ass plus a new Volahn album coming out. Never Surrender Fest. Them opening a physical store in Oakland, Eastern Front Records. Glad that one of the best underground labels is kicking ass and taking names this year.

 

I just like the overall aesthetic of Departure Chandelier, I'm not super keen on the actual album. I'm trying to get over the absurd delay on the vocals for Blue Hummingbird but it's so over the top lol

 

Tear From the Red was always my favorite but it was my introduction to the band so...

 

the tropic rot is still my favorite ptw record

 

Yeah, I would definitely put their Trustkill days at the top, followed by Ferret and then You Come Before You. It’s a good record but feels “off”. It makes sense because it was for a major label when they were catching the scent of the success of some indie bands. The same thing happened to Cave In.

 

It’s not even close haha

 

That’s a really good introduction to the band!

 

All poison the well albums are better than 95% of metalcore albums

 

I've actually never listened to them

 

Saw Venom Prison in a 50 cap room and it's only 8pm. The life of luxury

 

ETID announced a show in Syracuse at a venue that is a hole in the wall. Might go.

 

Where? I didn’t know you lived in Upstate New York.

 

Speaking of sick shows in Syracuse AND Poison the Well!

 

Syracuse is a bit north of me, decent drive for sure. But I had plenty of friends go to school there and used to make the drive every once in a while.

 

Wow. Just wow is all I can say.

 

Lost Horizon!

Also, This Is Hell!

 

I was there! It was nuts!

 

Fuck that's one for the books. We're Down Till We're Underground wasn't even released yet, Lamb of God didn't headline and Laid To Rest hadn't been written. Eighteen Visions hadn't gone cock rock. Hopesfall was an opener. Insanity.

 

Best show ever at Lost Horizon was when all these California bands merged for a big show and it just happened to have every member of the then lineup of First Blood. All of them said: “Hey, you want to hear some new Music?!” Played a full set!
