Metal music discussion 🤘 [2021-08]

I had Swallow The Sun as a Roon recommended pick from a Daily Mix a week or so back.
I added it but not had time to play it yet.

I have mostly given up on the daily mixes for the moment due to repetition of band’s with the same listening mix (or close enough) with different lead band’s listed.
Hopefully they continue to improve and I do have about 30 saved so clearly not all bad.

STS have become one of my favorite bands, so if you haven’t tried anything their 2019 when a shadow is Forced into the light is very good.
Their huge 2015 album Songs from the North 1, 2 and 3 is incredible and thanks to @ds_2 for putting me onto it.
Both gentle and harsh it’s an incredible breadth of work, and surprised it’s not in your vinyl collection

Edit: just found this triple CD and DVD version on Amazon and just checked it out :grin:

New Swallow The Sun album will be released in November 19th. They release instrumental (strings) versions of tracks from that album one every week and after that first single will be released.

Here is second of those instrumental tracks.

From 1991… progressive/experimental death metal with jazz influences. One of those important early progressive metal albums, other that comes to mind is Cynic: Focus.

Missed this album because it is not available in Qobuz, so one more Bandcamp purchase :slightly_smiling_face:

Carsten nice to have you visit us.
Bed time for me now, hope to see you around and posting some more.
Have a good evening

Excellent choice!
Love this band, managed to see them live in Jacksonville a few years back, 2017 I think.

Already looking forward to this, but November still seems a long time away.

Hopefully my STS live in Helsinki album and DVD will be delivered by the time I get home Friday night.

Great live album - never had the chance to see these guys live so this will have to do.

Currently enjoying a slice of dystopian sci-fi progressive thrash from the Netherlands…

Good album, listened it couple times when it was released and need to check it again soon!

This was big deal 30 years ago today! (and last Metallica album for me that gets playing time)

Good Morning. I have been waiting for this release. Since I can’t yet add the full album to Roon via Tidal or Qobuz, I have to use Spotify. Sounds killer!

Noticed same thing, just won’t sync available tracks from Qobuz to Roon. Luckily Qobuz allows them to be played.

Also other good albums have been released today, like death metal from Ɔnigmatum and Diskord.

Also interesting thrash/hardcore from Rot Away
