Hahaha Skaven are sick indeed. Whatever you wrote above that, i'm having a hard time making it out - i need to brush up on my Necron hieroglyphs. - TBMG

Yes, they're best when they just do those rolling bulldozer grooves. That's another angle we didn't talk about - they need to change things up, yet if they do, that just distracts from the core appeal of the music. Maybe the only escape was doing an all-fast record.... - TBMG

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast Yeah, an all-fast record might be interesting; you could be onto something. The all-slow record (Eerie 1995-ish) definitely did not work as well for me, though I'll still champion it. It's pretty lifeless however. Also do you guys know Ceremonial Torture, it's not that far removed from the Barathrum sound.

Triggered hadn't occurred to me - triggers kind of being used against themselves, to create something de-mechanized and spazzy? Interesting. Yeah I love it too.

I mean if you were there for Dystopia back in the day, that's cool. We just can't stand the lyrics, man. I agree w/ you about the jump-up riffs, that stuff made a lot of sense in the 90s stench format - i'd much rather hear it there than in nu-metal. Prophecy of Doom and the later Deviated Instinct have some good flailing dreadlocks moments too. And re. Deadform, I think if they were going for Sacrilege / "Realms of Chaos" it'd be more thrashy/riffy, generally a bit more lively. I think it could use more of that, and/or the explosive syncopated mosh parts you're talking about. As is, it kind of hangs out in this lumbering walking-pace eighth-note territory, closer to the deathrock influences. I really do like this one, but I can see why you or TDMG would want something more active. - TBMG

Damn man you're speaking my language. Thanks for the tip, I will certainly check this out. - TBMG ⚔

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast BTW i found out the Ablazen Winds demo is already out on the rites of pestilence channel, MPR is releasing physical demos early next year

fuck em!

each time i parry them i take 20 minutes off their set time and bump them an hour earlier in the night

I thought white zombie as soon as I heard that

@GnarlyYouth Right. I was like, "I know this riff," then proceeded to take an hour wracking my brain.

​@@dis.infectant Dude good catch, you guys should be doing the show. Re. Kreator - that makes a lot of sense too. I haven't listened to much past Pleasure to Kill, but I can see how if you smooth down the snarl, you get this sort of angry nasal talking. - TBMG

thanks dude, live 2 piss

Thanks man! As for more HyperShaman - noted. You're not the first person who's requested that recently. We're gonna have him back on for year-end, not too far off now. He did a great job with this one for sure. We had a lot of fun with it. - TBMG ⚔

Thanks man! GORGOROTH

Thanks man! I think we all forget to consider Panphage. I listen to his stuff a lot, have a tattered shirt, but almost never mention him on the show, b/c it's just not what's influencing people. Auld Ridge seems like the kind of guy who DOES listen to Panphage. - TBMG

And yet here you are commenting (and even editing your comment) on this post. If you're not a Terminus fan, then why are you even here?

I am still confused - what do you mean by "mention a band" or "user friendly?" The whole point of the show is to review records, which requires talking about them. Do you want us to just list records for you to check out, w/ brief comments? If so, you don't even need to listen to the show - you can read the episode description. That's what it's there for.

Mate these guys reviews take me 'other' places indeed places that my casual self would not go to normally and brings a greater listening experience.

@@ceannairereibiliunach8133 dude thank you, that is one of the best things anyone has said about the show. cheers! - TBMG ⚔

Hails to Sleepy! Glad you enjoyed man. - TBMG ⚔

Thank you uncle sleepy

Glad the Dawn comparison makes sense to you. I do think it's more prominent here than on Consanguineous - that one has some huge riffs, don't get me wrong, but overall it's less driving/aggressive, more about generating atmosphere thru complexity. I can see how the latest Albionic Hermeticism is pretty close to that older, more "evil" sounding Auld Ridge, for sure. As far as AH, I'm really not qualified to talk about the discography as a whole - it's been a long time since I checked out the old stuff. Re. my liking the more straightforward material, I'd put it like this: I have way more time for "raw/weird" BM than TDMG, but it's not really what I look for in the music. Rather, I like stuff that is direct and powerful - in a sense, straightfoward. That can be raw and/or weird, but it doesn't have to be. I love early Graveland (raw/weirdly non-metal), I love Dawn (polished/conventionally Metal), and I love Gorgoroth's Under The Sign of Hell, (raw/conventionally Metal). All of these have direct, powerful songs w/ continuous aggression. And all of those influences show up on THIS record, which is insane. - TBMG ⚔

Glad you dig it man! I don't hear the riffs as melancholy at all though. To me it sounds bold and exuberant - and grim at the same time. It's the "battle-joy" you read about in Homer or the Cattle Raid of Ulster. Gorgoroth. -TBMG ⚔

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast I guess so, maybe more cinematic than sad - just a feeling other than like, the Thrash-isms of some of your classic bands.

@@drpibisback7680 Oh for sure, there's a lot more going on here than just "anger"/"evil." The further you get from those 80s / early 90s records, the wider the expressive range becomes. There's more and more emphasis on "epic trem riffs" and the various lofty moods you can wring from them. So if that's what you're looking for in BM, you may actually prefer stuff from the 00s on, where that's basically the norm. Do you like Taake? - TBMG

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast I don't believe I've ever listened to Taake. When I said I don't keep up with newer Black Metal, that was not to imply I'm buried in old-school BM either, I just generally have not listened to tons of Black Metal. Over the past year my listening in Extreme Metal (when I'm not listening to non-Extreme Metal things, which is often) has leaned mostly to the Death Metal and Funeral Doom side, and Black Metal has never been a genre where I could name like 20+ albums I've listened to - I find it interesting as a form and subculture, I've drawn elements from it in my own guitar playing, but on a day-to-day basis I'm probably not listening to Black Metal.

@@drpibisback7680 Good for you man, SOMEONE has gotta be not that into black metal. You're more of a noise rock guy at heart, I take it? I clicked on your channel briefly.

Hey thanks man, glad you enjoyed this. And yeah, there's a funny thing where even though we have the entire history of the genre at our fingertips, w/ unlimited narrative possibilities (in principle), the first 1-2 generations had far more divergent notions of canon, genealogy, etc. Those guys were embedded in regional cultures, w/ significant barriers to accessing stuff from other scenes, and strong biases (in a neutral or good sense of the word) shaping how they received it. Chris's vision of black metal is emphatically Huddersfield / Northern. Even his emphasis on professionalism - clean musicianship, good production, etc. - has an English heavy metal stamp on it, that blue collar approach where you take metal seriously as WORK. I'm thinking of Sabbath, Priest, and especially Maiden here - Chad Bruce Dickinson laughing at punk bands b/c they couldn't play and couldn't make a living, piloting his own tour jet, etc. - TBMG ⚔

oooooooooooooooooooooo

INDEED ⚔

Well they stopped writing beatdown riffs, stopped playing beatdown shows, and started playing on big death metal tours, but now they suck. This new album is pretty bad, and we've heard the live show is similar.

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast like boog tho do you I post the comments I put I call them hard core beat down mortician slam boog They block me 😭

Correct!

Hell yeah bro, stoked to hear what you think. 💀🤘

Thanks a lot man. Also, whoa! Don't think I've ever heard that re. the trombone. It's such a funny instrument, but in the right hands, powerful. - TBMG 📯

gorgoroth :(

Yeah, it has the same kind of "barely there" quality as the last Gaahls Wyrd. i feel like these days Gaahl gets most of his validation from the "art scene," w/ like gallery openings and wine and shit, and that has really distorted his sense of what he's trying to do w/ metal. - TBMG

Gorgoroth

#1 hard rock album of 2024

YES thanks for being such a good Samarithan 🙏

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast funny how a song from one of the gospels can be so haunting.

@@hessianfirm wait are they literally just reading from the King James Bible or something? i assumed it was kind of an adaptation / embellishment. but i guess that would explain why the language is so authentic.

@@TerminusExtremeMetalPodcast it's an embellishment with more of a focus on the angels but it's very close to the original.

@@hessianfirm Candlemass does such a good job of "setting" the text, in the way that a Medieval or Renaissance composer would have. They place it in a very somber context - poverty and mortality in Medieval Europe, dread of divine manifestation - that I could never have extrapolated from the text alone. You can tell that, despite the ancient Middle Eastern names, it's basically set in Sweden, in the same way everyone painted Bible scenes as happening in Amsterdam or rural France or wherever they lived.

thanks man!
