My daughter (age 14) did this one in her sketchbook today-
Metal!
- Thread starter BurningBright
- Start date
that is really great. what is that, pencil/marker/watercolor?
If she's not already familiar with the work of alphonse mucha, maybe mention it in passing. that's really nice shading.

This finally hit my mailbox and I am super excited to spend some time with it this week (though I did cheat and listen to it on bandcamp when purchased).

The fact that I've already heard 4 of the albums on this list (and even own one of them!) tells me I've come a long way in my metal journey over the past couple years!

Hah, nice. Now I am curious which record you own. I always think that The Quietus does a nice job of hitting a lot of the more outside of the mainstream releases.
I always look at this list first:
SPOILER: Here Are Decibel’s Top 40 Albums of 2023 - Decibel Magazine
SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! Don’t click here if you don’t want to see Decibel’s Top 40 Albums of 2023. Definitely click here if you love typing “NO [INSERT ALBUM HERE]? THIS LIST IS INVALID!”
www.decibelmagazine.com
Of course, there are some decent other ones out there like the Popmatters guy, Loudwire, Metal Injection, Metal Storm and Consequence.
The nice thing about the various lists is that they help me catch up on things I overlooked so that I can catch up via Tidal in December and January. Now that Gimme Metal stopped broadcasting, it's been difficult to keep up with new releases so I've asked that Santa bring me a Sub to Decibel. We will see if I am lucky.

Closet Witch. Showed up in a Bandcamp list and I really dug it. Turns out one of the labels that put it out is about an hour and a half up the road too, which is cool.

I've got to give this one another go. His stuff is something I feel should be right up my alley, but I just haven't clicked with it as much as I'd expected or would like to. It's not at all that I haven't enjoyed it at all, I just feel like I should enjoy it so much more!

Definitely understand the sentiment. There are certain artists/bands where you could just, for example, toss in the CD on the way to work and listen to a few cuts. On the other hand, there is music that demands your full attention and of course, requires the time to take the record in all at once that many people don't have. I certainly don't have 60 minutes to listen to Sigur Ros' third record but sometimes wish I could listen to it every day. This is music like this that often rewards patience and time. We all have records like this that we wish we listened to more frequently. I can rattle off a bunch and I am sure that all of us can too.
But yes, please give it some more time. I think that The Scars of Man on the Once Nameless Wilderness is a great gateway to Panopticon. I also love Isis' Panopticon. One may also say Peter Gabriel's song as well. I'm appearing here all week, thanks. Please tip your wait staff.

Blackbraid II
Excellent Black Metal album

and the CD

I love this album, but haven't picked it up on vinyl yet! I did get a copy of All Thoughts Fly a few months back though, which isn't as great as Montreux, but is still quite good.

Blackbraid II was such a fantastic level-up! I still need to go back and revisit the first one with new years, but it landed in my "okay" list back when it came out. The second was a pretty instant connection. Very excited to get the email stating he's digging into writing the next one!
