Re: \m/ Metal \m/
Now that everything is on Spotify I gave 10,000 Days a listen and am quite enjoying it. Not sure why I skipped out on this album the first time around but it has very similar vibes to Lateralus.
Anyway, new song available today ahead of the new album release:
It's pretty gnarly!

I'm with you there, definitely a grower so will need to give it a couple more spins.
Sounding like Tool though

Really good tune, Mantis -- thanks for sharing.

I don't get all the love for Tool. They're often turning up on "things you might like" lists, but I just don't.
The above song features that distinctive bass sound/style that's seemingly on every song they do, and the song just drones its way through a bunch of different sections with no crescendo or pay-off. The whole thing feels like an intro that should go somewhere, but doesn't. 2/10 won't listen again.
Edit: reminds me of watching The Blair Witch. Nothing's happening, nothing's happening, nothing's happening… oh, something's about to happen! *credits roll*

One of my favourite bands of the last few years Wormwood have released their latest album Nattarvet, sequel to Ghostlands: Wounds of a bleeding earth. Great heaving piles of melancholic black/folk metal, fucking love it. The album takes some work to get into but then pays you back in spades.

Hayfever has kept me awake so imagine my delight when Fear Inoculum drops. This is goooood...
Re: \m/ Metal \m/
I haven't heard the last couple of songs yet but damn the rest of them are good. I love the instrumental stuff that just grooves in and out of different timings, I could listen to an album of just that to be honest.
Very impressive overall.

Okay, done. Bloody hell this album is good.

I have to agree with the last audible sentence expressed in the above video... ¬_¬

I have really tried to like Tool, I just don't get their hook. They are pleasant enough to listen to, but I find all their stuff very samey and it just doesn't draw me in.

Re: \m/ Metal \m/
I have to admit, I have been a bit addicted to Tool-listening this past week. Still not really sold on the new album, though. Pneuma is my favourite song, but the rest of the album isn't really doing it for me.

I think it is just lacking in heft - a distinct paucity of great crushing meaty riffs to detonate your spleen and drag your head into motion

Speaking of which, I've been listening to a bit of Lovecraft-themed doom metal, called...
It's pretty heavy.
