Blayne’s Favorite Metal Album of 2024 is….BEDSORE Dreaming The Strife For Love

[@NoteAnimation]

Amazing record. There’s something about the slow builds and atmosphere that touches on the Italian doom rock band Messa for me :) saw these guys some years ago in a tiny basement i Denmark and even though it was a underground deathmetal event, their synth setup alone made you think they were rich 70s rockstars 🤘😎🤘

[@tonytoofast]

Sounds like wading through mud in the middle of a festival with 2 diametrically opposed bands playing on stages either side of you while you're searching for an overpriced hotdog-core.

[@AuntieTrichome]

😂

[@baltimoreberserk1727]

Really well said. 😂

[@ImpureContagion]

I know! Isn't it great?!

[@jrgennilssen9821]

40 seconds into the review and I'm ordering the album...

[@gustavoaraujo4720]

I'm just glad that BEDSORE is getting more love, being a fan since their debut, this band is awesome!!!

[@QuasarSniffer]

Hell yes! This record really took me by surprise, and is my kinda weird. Love it! Thanks for giving it such a great review 🤘

[@spencergrady5501]

Those who like this, might want to try Elephant No 9 - coming from a different background (jazz fusion) to hit the same progressive spot.

[@VisuallyImpairedGamer1987]

When I first heard the single "Scars of Light" I was truly blown away, so I'm going to give this album my full attention, and simply take it all in because by the sounds of it, I may have a potential album of the year on my hands! I'm also surprised this album came out on 20 Buck Spin and not say I, Voidhanger because it truly sounds like an I, Voidhanger release!

[@headovmetal]

BEDSORE finally getting some love! Right on!

[@Sampan24]

Closest bands I can think of sound wise would be: Hail Spirit Noir, Horseback, In Lingua Mortua and Oranssi Pazuzu. This was great! Big thanks for the review!

[@mochunk]

I have the last record and enjoy it quite a lot. This is definitely a step in the weirder proggy direction Looking forward to spinning it.

[@TheBigLuscious]

ive basically had this album on loop since it came out

[@Bigmay85]

What's with the Rivers of Nihil hate there, Blayne?

[@Rose-From-the-Dead]

Hell yeah! Definitely checking this one out. Thanks Blayne! 😘

[@xangrycatmanx5104]

Reminds me of an early 2000s Dan Swano project, lets go

[@drearyaugust1508]

With Pan.thy.monium he indeed made weird, chaotic, all over the place death metal incl. saxophone among other things, i thought Blayne was about to mention it at one point

[@אוריהורוביץ-פ8מ]

Sounds really ecxiting! I only heard their name before, now I know I should listen to them. The album that jumped into my mind when you asked for something similar is Moontower by Dan Swano. Completley prog insturumentals with Swano growling over the music.

[@thomasrawlings368]

Who cares what you call it, it’s fucking awesome

[@meiko_kaji]

Holy shit. A Blaine 5. Well done. Fun album!

[@ZarMakoupisGeORge]

It reminds me of the band Sweven and of course the last album by Morbus Chron (also called Sweven).

[@metalyuppie]

Reminds me a bit of Hail Spirit Noir.

[@wheelsofmercury]

I just got done listening to the album this morning! I really love it.

[@c.t.hallgarth7581]

Band Pic is reminiscent of Horse The Band photos from early 2000's. Funny as hell

[@CuzinHomechill]

This album is nutty and I love every moment of it

[@nicholasromig5506]

very excited to listen to this. sounds like a blast.

[@noobslayer135]

Kind of reminds me of Sigh

[@mordazflames4044]

The new album is awesome, but I still prefer the Hypnagogic Hallucinations. The progressive elements in the previous album are not the core , instead, they used those elements to create an amazing contrast between despair and those elements. Something like having a few flashes of light into the dark.

[@billcowan5539]

Very Cool review Blayne👍

[@DewtehDew]

Just listen to record, it’s cool. Thanks for the review!

[@princessolmeca2933]

Just the name, Bedsore, makes me think of a few things: 1) A mid-2000s NOLA sludge metal band (with an Eyehategod style); OR 2) A song from one of Phil Anselmo's musical projects

[@danielteixeira399]

The most incredible record since Morbus Chron's Sweven. Listen to that one.

[@brandonvaglio5413]

Very insensitive to italians, it’s not our fault our hands 🤌🏻 at random occasions Excited to listen to the album, sounds like a lot of fun

[@hypolyxa7207]

Glad to see someone can laugh at themselves. Lost art of current society. Have a great weekend. :)

[@Livingstonesmusic]

Just the intro of this album alone would bring mistah t to his knees!

[@billcowan5539]

What’s up with the year ending Album of the Year Voting?

[@splatterbrained]

So going to be there for the stream

[@skidrow1800]

Review the new Manson record… the best of his career since Holy Wood.

[@anthonymarano7829]

I love the bands name. ❤

[@the6ig6adwolf]

Where's the Veilburner review?

[@alexchavarria2582]

I'll check them out

[@ericlevenchuck6212]

Reminds one of Imperial Triumphant, no?

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

So they’re like Opeths new one 🤔

[@CraigMader]

If you like this, you should hear the new MALADIE- Sympyoms IV also dropping today.

[@simonecasolo3122]

At a first glance, they remind me of Ephel Duath (also italian)

[@deadguy29]

In the immortal words of Col. Hans Landa: Scusi. Come?

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

The only one I didn’t get to. Listened to Gorgon. ULVER and Mefitis. But didn’t get to this one. 🤦🏽 🤘🏾🤎

[@theoblivioussmile784]

great album i have a bandcamp code for this i don't need first to say they want it can have it

[@theoblivioussmile784]

ery3-65nm

[@paradoxicalbum4489]

It's like if Steve Morse made death metal.

[@horiwake]

Heeeeey, what did Ola ever do to you?

[@Abomb75]

Add Eternal Elysium to ya play list for your Every-japan-metal-bandathon streamathon 🤷

[@bernhardfrosdorfer9985]

Holy shit, i am hyped! Instant bought: i have the feeling this will blow the great new Opeth and the absolutely overhyped Blood Incantation (Best Album: Timewave Zero) out of the fucking water!

[@yoshistrik2639]

Solid album. Didn't know Blayne had a soft spot for 70s prog :) They have obviously listened to a lot of early ELP (Emerson Lake & Palmer), which is my personal favourite 70s prog band. Nice to have some Death Metal sprinkles on top of that. Love the idea of this mix. However if you are familiar with the works of ELP, it's unfortunately an impossible task to come close to the master Keith Emersons organ and keyboard work. And the metal parts coul be a bit more severe IMHO. If you like Bedsores latest album you have to check out ELP. Best start out with "Tarkus". In general I am very happy that more and more bands reach out to include 70s prog and other influence into extreme metal.

[@cbn6635]

The music I found quite interesting, but the vocals killed it for me, alas.. 🤷 Maybe repeated listening will remedy that? 🤔

[@MrOvipare]

Hell yeah! They released the song Realm of Eleuterillide and I knew it was going to be a pants ripping album.

[@OliverJohnson-pu6bm]

Sounds like operh I like originally

[@Smonserratm]

They remind me of Knür

[@gwts1171]

I don't think this one is for me. Nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't "do it" for me. I like the vocals; I like the music; I don't like the vocals and music together. Thanks for the video, Blayne!

[@tobiasbellman]

I watched drag race before this and thought reality was breaking apart with the head joke.

[@mehdilif4490]

One band is playing while the other is soudchecking 😵‍💫

[@zan8152]

not sure what all the Blood Incantation is about, the obvious simple comparison is just... better Opeth

[@dansta3346]

Let's be freaking honest for a second. That's not nearly as good as Opeth

[@ortegayecid]

twenty books espeen!

[@marenubis]

If you need to compare, you might dig out the Japanese band Sigh.

[@cardiacade]

Like it musically but not the vocals.

[@12012dollars]

...sounds like Blood Incantation...🤪😈

[@chadvinson1720]

This is not death metal. IMO.

[@ZarMakoupisGeORge]

Yeah this is easily blackened 70s progrock. I say blackened because the only real extreme metal element in this is the vocals. And sound closer to mid-range reverbed black metal vocals.

[@filosofiapesadaflamatv]

A band joke with a bad album joke is all that could please Blayne!

[@richardmoore3397]

I don't dislike it but isn't it a bit of a stretch calling it 1970's death metal. Just sounds like a prog album

[@jml8238]

Sucks ass!?!? 😱 Going hard on the paint Mr. Smith!?!? That being said, I have yet to hear a death metal song featuring saxophone that I don't find silly.

[@lordfoxtrot8330]

that was a weird left wing garbage about Rivers Of Nihil

[@meowmastr123]

This was Opeth. It was not unique.

[@baltimoreberserk1727]

Damn.... this band is the new Portal. Bet. Nerds gonna fellate themselves so hard about how good this is. Barf. 1 of 5 Italian skulls. 🫶🇮🇹🍕🤌
