Looking forward to this.
Great news.
Excellent news - Deluge is still given regular spins.
That's an album that's destined to disappoint fans.

First song released 4th September and album due 13th October. Cool concept for the album but not sure I'm sold on that artwork, can't wait for this one all the same.
Not sold on the artwork either and I usually really like Joe's designs but I think the concept is really interesting. Looking forward to hearing a single.
I thought the artwork was just the warpy skulls but either way, I like it. Album is a beast.

A second single. This song is just another level. That end section is so good. Never heard any acoustics or clean vocals from JD before that I can recall and he can do it. Now I want to hear him do a dark acoustic album!
I can't help thinking about how ordinary the new Primordial sounds compared to something truly vital like this. Going to order the CD and LP tonight.
Looking forward to listening to the full album myself. Singles sound great.
Just gave both of these tracks a spin, this is great. I had seen them live before & liked the last album when it was out but haven't listened to it in a long time. Looking forward to the rest of this.
Holy shit, don't know how I missed it but that newest song sounds absolutely massive, I can't remember the last time I was this excited for a release!
Yeah, it snuck past me as well.
Belter of a track.
Both great tracks - shaping up to be a very promising release - yet again.
Those tracks are class. Kick in the first one especially sounds like pure artillery :abbath:
Yep, vaguely inebriated 3am buzz here, but have to add to the craic here and say I checked these 2 out there a couple times and I'm definitely feeling this as well, excited to hear it in full now. I thought the last one Futile Fires was decent. This is the first time though I have to be honest, I'm not overly keen on the artwork, (especially considering what it costs for a vinyl w delivery!) It kinda feels like it would fit ENSLAVED or someone; not that it's bad or anything, it just doesn't seem to fit exactly. but Here; recently I was checking out some tattoo work that this guy does and he is really talented, some of his concepts there are next level deadliness.
I might as well & for the fuck of it; Add to my outlandish sentiments in an other thread, regarding my opinions on the best (but what is really just my fanboy fav/to me/in my opinion!) Irish Death metal band, & say likewise here; that SLIDHR has to be Ireland's best (true) Black metal band. Deluge For me is a masterful record with some genuinely original dark eerie riffs and memorable songs. I listen to it at least once a week still, I actually used to listen to it falling asleep for ages a couple years back. The track Rejoin the Dirt is unreal.
I feel like I can't say anything about Irish black metal like this without giving the most respect to Primordial, but I feel they deserve to be known as the Countries just best Heavy Metal band honestly, as especially now with their new album, they don't really feel like a BLACK metal band anymore, and I'm okay with that really, as they never really did anyway, & I feel despite some interwoven black influences in the music and the corpsepaint and shit live, Primordial is a lot more than Black metal. They do the Epic/Pagan/Celtic thing really well and proudly and they have their own shit going on confidently.
While I'm at I'll say Altar of Plagues also made a big impact on me, I like all their stuff..and man that fucking Sodb EP, is a fuckin high quality gem and would love more from that band?! Respectfully of course there has been a lot more in the Irish BM scene...I guess that Rebirth of Nefast one had good songs but for me a shite production on the album...but not much else I go back to meself. Verminous Serpent recently of course too is essential.
Talkin crap now;But Yeah man this record so far sounds precisely and intently dark and vicious; I like his charming little blurb on the albums bandcamp "My blood boils with contempt for so much of this world..." ha 8)

Quality! :abbath:
I can't wait to give this a proper listen later. The opening song is unreal. It sounds to me, from the three songs I've listened to so far, that JD's song writing has just taken some kind of leap. And he was a formidable song writer in the first place.
First listen through in work just there, it's definitely a Slidhr record but so many interesting parts I didn't expect. Unique vocal sections and riffs that if I didn't know was Slidhr I don't think I would have guessed it was them. That intro threw me too, sounds like theres a plenty of life and ideas in JD yet.
Everything has taken a step up, to my ears.
Song writing, recording quality, musicianship and especially JD's vocals!
Really enjoying it all. Outstanding stuff!
That is the fucking business. Brilliant songwriting. It has a lot of details and intricacies that will warrant many repeated listens. I like how he knows when to let songs breathe, slow down, have some space, nice little acoustic bits and stuff that add to the atmosphere. Excellent.
Superb album. The slow part in the middle of Sacred Defiance is great
CD and LP ordered. Going to be a wait until they get out this direction but I had it on just now on the phone and I'm really looking forward to hearing it in all its might through my stereo.
Enjoying this so far. It needs a few more proper, dedicated listens before I can fully appreciate it, I think.
Strong Aosoth vibes off it in places, which isn't a bad thing.
CD and LP landed today. Great to have lyrics included which is rare with Slidhr. The only other release that had lyrics included was Ex Nihilio I think. Going to have to spend some time with this as there's always plenty to wrap the noggin around with a Slidhr record, but it sounds really good.
I had a proper sit down with White Hart!, undisturbed and with the lyrics in hand. What an experience. Slidhr has always walked its own path and this album is no different. It creates its own world with so many details to elicit joy once you focus on it. The acoustic parts that drop in here and there for mere seconds denoting doom before the songs shoot off in some new direction are a treat and being able to read along to the lyrics really heightens the experience for me. It makes me focus more closely on the vocals, which then tunes my ear in to the layering that is often happening there. I assume it's the new bassist singing in the background in a lot of the songs. His Viking delivery works brilliantly. I'm trying to figure out which part has Richard from Unyielding Love and I think it's towards the end of Sacred Defiance, but who knows. He's not even referenced in the inlay so is he there at all? A bit of intrigue never hurt.
The artwork is growing on me and the booklet on the vinyl is laid out beautifully. There's only one way to follow it up... The Futile Fires of Man 8)
Been listening last couple of days too, will have to pick up a copy as it's just killer.

The interviewer is a bit of a melt but this is really cool.
I listed earlier, I'd listen that show most weeks and he always tries to find common ground before getting on to the musical side of things.
It seemed like he had to try very hard to get J Deegan going but fist okay to him he kept at it until the conversation opened up a bit.
The show a couple of weeks back was good with Necrobutcher and Drugoth.
I find the host a pain in the arse. He sounds like he should be on FM104... That affected radio delivery is hard going and this shite of referring to himself, and some other online nobodies, as the four horsemen of the metal world! Dream on, dickhead. There is something a bit self-defeating in referring to yourself as the "intellectual whatever whatever"... it's not really a title you can bestow on yourself!
Anyway, apart from all that I enjoyed what I've listened to so far. I've never seen/heard JD talk at such length about his work and as a long time follower of his music it is very welcome.

It was good to hear a long form interview with him and hopefully more people become aware of the band as a result.
Cool enough interview, straight to the point ol' JD :laugh: though we didn't learn much more than what's already been said in Bardo.
Into the Necrosphere isn't so bad, much more tolerable than that Trivax fella on Isblis Manifestations, but into the necrosphere,Isblis and agitators anonymous all have the same problem, they can't interview or have a discussion with anyone anyone with out reverting to the same old lockdown/covid shite, it's exhausting.

Exactly. It can completely tank the interviews and guaranteed 90% of it is just for the traffic to the podcasts.
Jackie's definitely got better as a host over the years but he's playing up the gimmick as this "great alpha Joe Rogan of extreme metal", but he's a gym bro who works in HR and by the looks of things does well for himself from the day job.
Yep, completely fed up to death of covid talk. I was over it after around two months of it and now, what, four years on (!!!) I really don't want to fucking hear another thing about it. That said, I'm very much interested in hearing about musicians' inspirations so I suppose I'll have to accept it from time to time, but minimise it and get to something more interesting please :laugh:

The Iblis one is terrible. The long winded intro with the host trying to suck himself off each time, raving how underground and extreme he is... SHUT UP!
Apologies, this is changing the tread topic. Listened to White Hart last night. Savage.
Enjoyed that interview myself... Hopefully JD does some more. Yah that jackie smith guy is hilarious, another funny one is Justin Horval from Hells Headbangers

Looks like the gym teacher from Beavis & Butthead.
Must give Slidhr a spin on the walk tonight, recall enjoying their last one.
Whats the Finnish guy, is it Rauta?This lad, him and that HH moron are like the fucking three stooges.
Actually are there any metal youtubers who aren't mongs?Meh, what do I care.
Have seen a few podcasts with the South Africa guy like when he had Kyle from Akhlys on and he can be hard to listen to. JDawg as he is know is an idiot but at least the podcast is funny you are either laughing with him or at him. Someone from the North a while back sent him in one of those paid reviews can't remember the band name though.
Not sure what the issue is with Rauta? He always came across as fine except for the few interviews he did when he was slurring his speech from being too pissed.

Marc G with a C is another sound lad, plays in Enchantment, stop generalizing

Actually I stand corrected, I've seen him and he comes across as cool enough. Enchantment are cool too
