I haven't listened to any of the singles, I want to listen to the whole thing once it comes out.

Sorry my last post got taken down cause I entered the title incorrectly! Apologies.

With less than 500 subs these guys are severely underrated. Anybody know em?

Here's the story: So I got an Instagram advert that there was some random band playing in my city, and they didn't sound too bad so I thought "fk it im gonna go" and bought the ticket. This band trollwar was opening for them (whom I never heard before).

Long story short I was completely blown away. And at the same time i felt that it was criminal that there was only a crowd of 20-something people.

Hi all, long time lurker, just looking for some new music up my alley. My favorites are: Ne Obliviscaris, Rivers of Nihil, Cult of Luna, and An Abstract Illusion. It's hard to describe what exactly about these is what I'm looking for, but these are the 4 I just constantly go back to. Thanks for your help!

that are not Soilwork or any other of Bjorn's sideprojects.

Edit: Thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated!

Edit2: Thank you so much. This has me covered for ages!

Where do i find Intestine Baalism merch? (prefferably bootleg) I've been a fan of the band for a while now, and i'd love to have some merch, but i cant seem to find any online.

Title.

Great album from start to finish, strongly recommend listening to the whole thing with full attention. No one can at least accuse this one of sounding generic. Could imagine Edge of Sanity eventually sounding like this if Swanö got to do whatever he wanted with the band.

Just listening to Rasen for the first time, great album so far

Hello,

I've released the sophomore record of the one-man prog-death band Dog in the Burning House. The album was written, recorded and mixed in Istanbul and Ottawa over the course of 6 years. It is heavily influenced by Strapping Young Lad’s City, mixed with influences from dissonant death metal outlets such as Ulcerate and Deathspell Omega, and a small taste of the insanity of The Dillinger Escape Plan and Meshuggah. Above all, I wanted the record to be fun to listen to from start to end. Therefore, the focus is on riffs that are fun to play and listen to over meandering atmosphere and explorations.

The songs Risus Sardonicus and Remembrance are good examples of the overall music here if you would like a lead. The intro song Remembrance is about picking up guitar after a long period of not playing and is comprised of three parts, starting with a more melodic opening, leading to a groovy riff that alternates between 3/4 and 4/4 and closing with an explosive dissonant section.

Risus Sardonicus marks the midpoint of the album. It starts with a high tempo riff, progressively becomes slower and groovier and finishes with a The Dillinger Escape Plan style riff over a Winston Churchill sample.

Lyrically, the theme is about being stuck and in between two worlds. It is about not being able to move on or being able to understand whether to want to move on. It is also about carrying the weight of an old world after moving on. Most of the music and lyrics were written during a time when I was a doctor in a COVID clinic in Istanbul, trying to land a PhD position abroad so there is a bit of that too.

Below are the links to the album in major streaming platforms and Bandcamp. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Powerwolf, whom I already enjoy, did a song with Alissa White-Gluz a few years back. Just heard it recently. Made me wonder if there were more songs or bands with power metal instruments and metalcore/melodic death metal vocals. I know the two don't usually fit, but I loved that song and now I crave more

Hopefully it means we'll hear some new stuff over the next few months.

I'm expecting more of the same, since they have said many times they're not looking to push boundaries - they're just friends having fun and making the style of music they want to make (Gothenberg Melodeath).

That's fine by me as I enjoyed Days of the Lost & March of the Unheard.

I felt like a Top 10 list was too brief, so let's make it 15. But with a caveat, only one song per band.

Here is my current list in no particular order:

1. Mors Principium Est – Sinners Defeat
2. In Flames – Where The Dead Ships Dwell
3. Insomnium – While We Sleep
4. Arch Enemy – We Will Rise
5. Aephanemer – The Sovereign
6. For I Am King – Prey
7. Eternal Tears Of Sorrow – Baptized By The Blood Of Angels
8. Destinity – Reject The Deceit
9. Bloodred Hourglass – Vividus
10. Eye Of The Enemy – The Shift
11. Fear Of Domination – Pandemonium
12. Dark Oath – Watchman Of Gods
13. Orbit Culture – The Shadowing
14. The Unguided – Deathwalker
15. Parasite Inc. – Unmeant Outcasts

P.S.: I could not decide on a single Children of Bodom song to represent them, so none made the list to save my sanity.

so what are your opinions? Here's mine. It's not good. I'm really bummed out, I waited years. Every single riff sounds the same. chugg chugg chugg. Almost no single note riffs. Literally not one solo on the album. I don't even know who this is for. It's not for the new fans and it's not for the old fans. I've always defended them against people who say every song sounds the same, but now every song really does sound the same. I think there's a total of 7 or 8 unique notes used on the entire album. I mean I'm exaggerating, but yea. This album has more power chords than a Green Day album. I had a feeling this was coming when I heard 3 of the new songs at a listening party experience at a recent show with the VIP pass upgrade. Where's War of the Gods that punches you in the face from the first second? Where's First Kill packed with raw emotion and story? Where's Cry of the Blackbirds, Raven's Flight, Father of the Wolf? Hell even The Great Heathen Army had Dawn of Norsemen. I honestly don't know how to feel, I've seem them 15 times just in the past 5 years, and I am beyond let down.

Just started getting into melodic death metal. I like some melodic death doom but figured I might like some melodic death metal too. Can I get some recommendations. Thanks
