Skáphe - s/t

To every blogger who posts music by literal Nazis and then tries to justify it: you're a fucking piece of shit.

That has nothing to do with this. Vile, otherworldly black metal/ambient/drone/doom.

SO))) + U - Terrestrials

Getcher drone on.

Lifeformed - Fastfall: Dustforce OST / breaktime

Dustforce is an infuriating yet lovely little game on which I have spent quite a few hours of my life, and it has one of my favorite soundtracks. Enjoy.

On that note, I will have to be taking a break from blogging for a bit. I will be without reliable access to a computer or internet for the next several months. There might be a sporadic post here and there, but for the most part this blog will be on hiatus until my life is a little more settled. Thanks for reading.

Year Of No Light - Vampyr

Drone/ambient with some post-metal and sludge parts, especially towards the end.

TKDE - FTS

...

Wheels Within Wheels - The Six Months of the Northern Course of the Sun

Bleak, epic, occasionally folk-tinged drone. Gets labeled black metal fairly regularly for no reason that I can understand.

Nadja - Dagdrøm

Probably the most diverse non-collaborative Nadja album that I've heard. Good shit.

East of Oceans - 121 Years

Not my usual cup of tea, but this is a good, chill album for the post-midnight hours. The internet tells me this belongs to the genre of "drum and bass," whatever that means. It's pretty cool, I like it.

Saåad - Confluences

Last summer, the festival Toulouse d’Été commissioned Saåad to work on the St-Michel fountain, personification of the confluence of the river Ariège and Garonne. Romain Barbot & Greg Buffier took their recording material to this specific place and gave life to a 20 minutes trip divided in 4 movements. Confluences is lead by field recordings and chanting guitars, showing a new face of the french duo who found the balance point between immensity and intimacy.

Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along The Highway

Everyone knows who this band is, right? This album is probably their pinnacle.

777

Have listened to this yet, maybe I'll write a review later. Dunno about you, but I'm excited about this one.

I also really like the album art.
