The first track released off of the new Sigh album coming out later this year has me pumped!
The debut album God's Country by Oklahoma experimental/industrial noise rock/sludge outfit Chat Pile really delivered. One of the heaviest things you'll hear all year. Intense, harrowing, brutal, nihilistic, this album is a hopeless expression of Ameican realities.
It's a challenging listen for sure. I feel like this is one that will take a few revisits to fully sink in and appreciate.I didn't love the production on this one on first listen but Pitchfork just gave it BNM so I know i'll be seeing it a lot more. I'll have to give it another go, you and another buddy just brought it up. Thanks.
cover art fits this perfect
Lol, i'm going to delete mine now, I had even hearted yours but had only heard the single until that point.Hell yeah! I posted this one last week. One of the best metal albums of the year so far IMO
The Alberta, Canada quintet WAKE is back with a new deathgrind album Thought Form Descent, and it crushes
No need to delete! Glad you're enjoying itLol, i'm going to delete mine now, I had even hearted yours but had only heard the single until that point.
Check out the new Wake album folks!

WAKE's music is on point, amazing! The vocals, meh.
Hell yeah! Glad to hear you're enjoying itFinally got around to listening to this today. It goes hard as f*ck! Loving it.
Wake's album is one of the best metal albums of the year, IMO. Glad you're digging it and Chat Pile'sWAKE's music is on point, amazing! The vocals, meh. That Chat Pile is totally great.
I'd also recommend the new album from MICO. Completely kicks assI'm solidly beside you in this assessment. Absolutely loved it musically!
I've put Chat Pile in my queue, but I'm in the car with the family all day so today's likely not the day
I mean the Wake vocals make me roll my eyes but honestly I'll probably put up with it just because the music is killerWake's album is one of the best metal albums of the year, IMO. Glad you're digging it and Chat Pile's
I guess if you're not a fan of harsher vocal styles these vocals wouldn't be for you. I think they compliment the music pretty damn wellI mean the Wake vocals make me roll my eyes but honestly I'll probably put up with it just because the music is killer

I'm an old metal head and I am familiar with the variety of genres and vocal styles; the vocals yes, definitely match the convention for the style, but holy smokes do I find that stylistic convention tiring and monotone. A little cookie monster goes a long way for texture -- Mike Patton's death metal yowls in Mr Bungle's "Merry Go Bye Bye" are so much more effective than if the whole thing were growls. I do like Opeth, Agalloch is on my to-listen playlist.I guess if you're not a fan of harsher vocal styles these vocals wouldn't be for you. I think they compliment the music pretty damn well
Edit: Most extreme metal vocals are harsh like this. It took me a very long time to appreciate and then like (and love) harsher vocals. If you're looking to get into more extreme metal, but you're turned off by the vocals, I recommend starting with some other bands. Opeth and Agalloch were my two "gateway bands" into harsh vocals and extreme metal (I recommended both to you in a previous post )
