New Black Dahlia dropped. Got to say, album is really good but it's a bit 'different' sounding to me. A little more technical, better guitar solos, better mix on the vocals:

organs out, throw them away,
season the corpse, rub it in salt,
make all of the necessary cuts,
put your oven or pan on high.

I actually really love Deafheaven. That perfect mixture of Shoegaze and Black Metal is something I never really was a fan of until I heard Sunbather. There's not a lot of other bands with similar style that I really liked yet.

Plus it pisses off all my black metal friends when I call it black metal, so that's a bonus.
If Deafhaven came out in full corpse paint and spiked bracelets, black metal dudes would be all about it. Sunbather is a truly amazing album.

Oblig video of what I'm feeling lately.

Edit:can't figure out how to embed from my phone.

I went to see Marty Friedman yesterday. I missed Exmortus and the other opening band cause I fell asleep. But Marty was actually really good. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. His band had a ton of personality and everyone really seemed to be enjoying themselves. It was so different than the usual dark, brutal, evil, hardcore black metal / death metal shows I go to. I had a really good time. If you like guitar I think you'll have a good time too.

With a name like Caligula's Horse I was expecting something a little darker. Pleasantly surprised. Thanks for posting that.

Yes, but I think this is actually the worst.

Every single song is forgettable. They even covered that Highway to the Danger Zone song and it's just awful. Usually I enjoy their covers too.

IDGAF if people think Mastodon is too soft, the first 2 tracks off Blood Mountain give me painful erections every time.

Mastodon is one of those bands where the album art makes them look so badass but then you listen to it and it's just mushy diarrhea
