Have mainly heard grind-y, noisy gear from the label, some of it pretty decent.

Looking froward to the new Unyielding Love.

Eoin McLove on here had a great one called The Winding Sheet that came out a couple of years ago with interviews from Dead congregation, In Solitude, Terminus and a good few other i can't remember off the top of my head.

Worked with McLove on an issue of this that never saw the light of day, unfortunately. Excellent content, layout and design.

Surprised there's been little chat about this lot and release so far.

Bound to appeal to many here - a contemporary death metal super group, of sorts, featuring members of Blood Incantation, Spectral Voice, Primitive Man.

Chaotic yet intricate, and densely atmospheric. Very impressive release.

Yeah, really strong. Couple listens so far and it's drawing me back, something which few contemporary albums manage to do.

Revenge - 'Strike.Smother.Dehumanize' - their most accessible record to date? Discernible riffs? What a time to be alive.

I'm doing a load of moody/dark techno recently. Neighbours are loving it.

Stick it up on the Electrónica thread if you've anything online...

Remixing bits and pieces as I figure out how to use certain apps/software packages. Will stick up a link shortly.

I see the full album is now on Spotify; have it in the to-listen pile.

Maybe the one who's now 'female' could team up with the dude from Liturgy (who recently came out as 'female') and create some truly interesting black metal?

This was pretty surprising news - but they'll need to create something pretty arresting for it to be at all relevant or interesting, especially in black metal terms.

'Ond Spiritism' always felt like something of a chore, as much as it's considered essential in the orthodox Swedish black metal sphere, much like Ondskapt's 'Dödens Evangelium'.

Also, here's hoping Danielsson has only lent his hand to the artwork. We don't need another Watain.

Triumphator - 'Wings of Antichrist' (1999).

Black Curse -  Endless Wound... just checking this out on Spotify, must pick it up as its a belter.

Yeah, quite a surprise, this. Good stuff.

Avoided streaming/digital services for a long time before caving 4-5 years ago and dipping into iTunes and Bandcamp. Used to download the Bandcamp purchases and then add to iTunes, so as to have music all in once place.

Bounced from that to purely using Apple Music and then found that Spotify was a much cleaner application with a surprising amount of obscure output accessible across a range of genres. Also, have discovered so much new music over the last year or so thanks to the playlists it creates based on your listening.

That said, it does happen often that Bandcamp will have certain releases that are unavailable on Spotify, so both apps see almost the same level of usage.

There's a handful of bands (often those more obscure or 'problematic' acts) I'll always support 'physically' - either via direct record purchases or a few quid for a digital download - but I no longer have the space or interest in more vinyl/CDs/tapes collecting dust.

Lovely jubbly.
