My penny pinching selection from Omega's Spring Cleaning clearance sale: Emptiness - Oblivion (Really good crunchy and morose black/death that doesn't sound like any other band described as "black/death" -- you can tell how they seized on this unique sound and perfected it eventually on Nothing But the Whole.) Fallen Christ - Abduction Ritual (Hadn't been familiar with these guys but a few YT clips mandated I grab it. Pretty demented, it sounds like Deicide taken to a grinding extreme with some black metal violence thrown in for good measure.) Malfeitor - Unio Mystica Maxima (Good if somewhat standardized Italian black metal thing. Loved their other album, Incubus; this one feels even more sinister and less shiny. I may end up preferring this one.) Complete String Quartets by Beethoven c/o the Tokyo String Quartet (For $17 on Amazon I couldn't afford not to!) Christian Death - Catastrophe Ballet; Ashes (On a huge goth kick lately and I've been needing these for a while. Whenever I hear stuff like this, or Bauhaus' In the Flat Field, it's almost depressing how an entire genre of music sprang forth without capturing anything that made the originators so great. [I'm sure this is how Fenriz feels about black metal's rapid decline after the early second wave.] There really isn't anything like Christian Death's first three albums; anything that became a trademark of the whole Goth Rock style was just a sliver of this band's sound. It's more like Velvet Underground and Bowie meets 80's New Wave. [I do like the post-Rozz era too, as long as I don't think too hard about how it all played out.] These SoM remasters were done by Valor and he did a tremendous job. I haven't even gotten to Ashes because I keep listening to CB.) |

Ranur5555 wrote: Svartidaudi - The Temple of Deformation Curious about how this one sounds. I love Flesh Cathedral and The Synthesis of Whore and Beast, but I'm not familiar with their demo period. How does it fare against the rest? |

@androdion: Sound is really good for being a demo. It isn't as intricate as Flesh Cathedrals music-wise, but I'd say the riffing is still undeniably Svartidaudi but not as defined yet. The song-lengths are just about right when considering what they present here, in comparison to Flesh Cathedral. Not as maze-ish as the full-length. Haven't heard Synthesis yet so I don't know how it holds up in comparison to that one. Hope the songwriting is more in the FC-vibe. |

Had to take advantage of the last day of SKR's 20% off sale: Aktor - Paranoia (I sampled about 5 seconds of this and loved it. I'm hoping this may end up being Professor Black's best project. More BOC influence is always welcome in heavy metal.) Inquisition - Magnificent Glorification of Lucifer [Cassette] (I've needed this Inquisition record FOR-EV-ER. Very excited. The last I need to complete the collection is Nefarious Dismal Orations. What an incredible band, and incredibly consistent.) Sabbat - Evoke (I've become a Sabbat nut over the last four or five months. Slowly trying to obtain all their full-lengths. This one isn't that hard to find but getting it for around $10 was hard to pass up on. It's Karisma that seems to be really difficult to find...) Tormentor - Anno Domini (A legendary release of first wave black metal. I haven't heard it in years because I could never find a physical copy. This is apparently a re-issue with the original master which is perfect.) Acid - Acid (SPEEED METTALLL!!!!!!) Race Against Time - Time Waits for No Man (This is such a cool find for me. I'm a huge Hell (demos) fan, and this is Dave Halliday's nwobhm act before Hell formed. I know they aren't going to be as heavy on the satan and the evil but I'm just a big fan of his, and the Race Against Time cover on the Hell demos is weird as shit and awesome) |

Cool dude, I think i'll grab that one up myself; though as far as Black's best...I dunno man, Bury the light and Night of the hammer (which IMO is leagues ahead of the rest of Dawnbringers output) will be really tough to top.. |

For those who care about the EP: https://daemonworship.bandcamp.com/albu ... -and-beast From what I get it's more straightforward black metal as opposed to the dissonant/atmospheric stuff of the full-length? Is it available for preview somewhere on the Internet?! |

@androdion: Yes it's definitely more straight forward than the full-length. But still I'd say it got something that sets it apart from many other black metal-demos these days. You know, the riffs and the atmosphere. Got some serious Si Monumentum-era DsO vibes from the intro. Don't know about any sites with samples, but there's always YouTube I guess. |

Yeah, it's on Youtube. I've heard it, seems a bit archaic and undeveloped when compared to Flesh Cathedral, and definitely more straightforward than it. It still (or already for that matter) shows signs of the band's sound, but it's different enough to notice. The new EP is kind of 50-50 between the album and the demo, more in the vein of the intro but with and added development and dissonant palette of sound, so to speak. I'll have to work on these two a bit, he he. |

It seems like everyone strictly goes to OToP when it comes to Christian Death. I'm not super into Ashes but I need to listen to it more. Black Witchery / Revenge - Holocaustic Death March to Humanity's Doom (not bad, but probably the weakest material I've heard from both bands) Black Witchery - Desecration of the Holy Kingdom Pyrexia - Sermon of Mockery (very happy to see this reissued) Full of Hell / Merzbow - Full of Hell / Merzbow (not a huge FoH fan but this is pretty good. The Merzbow disc is nasty) Sol Invictus - In the Rain New Order - Technique Coil - Horse Rotorvator, Love's Secret Domain, Scatology also have incoming: Dark Heresy - Abstract Principles Taken to Their Logical Extremes CD The Sisters of Mercy - Some Girls Wander by Mistake CD Cam'ron - Purple Haze CD (KILLA) Tangerine Dream - Rubycon LP Tangerine Dream - Ricochet LP |

DeathfareDevil wrote: Christian Death - Catastrophe Ballet; Ashes Kudos, both great albums! I am a pretty big Rozz Williams fanboy, though I do think some of the early post-Rozz CD stuff is very, very good. I also like and recommend the 90's "Christian Death feat. Rozz Williams" albums, but I find them more comparable to Shadow Project than Christian Death's first three albums. I think Valor's incarnation of the band became totally unlistenable around the time of Sexy Death God (even the title sucks). Every subsequent album has been worse than the last from that point on IMHO. Numerator_41 wrote: Catastrophe Ballet is seriously underrated. It seems like everyone strictly goes to OToP when it comes to Christian Death. I'm not super into Ashes but I need to listen to it more. I'm willing to argue that CB is the band's most recognized and praised album right after OToP. I think OToP is just the bigger pop culture point of reference. Catastrophe Ballet gets all the praise it's due all the same. I mean, from non-casuals of course... Some great recent purchases from you, too, BTW... Last thing I bought was a demo CDr by a band called Mudsex. It's awful. I love it. |

Haha I actually have come to really like Sexy Death God, even if the first ... several times I tried listening to it I was like, "Is this ... for real? Am I supposed to take this seriously?" Not sure what changed or clicked in my brain. Atrocities however is unquestionably great. They have a new crowdfunding plea on their site and it's as embarrassing as you'd expect. http://www.christiandeath.com/ (warning: autoplay) I really want that Pyrexia reissue but the one track I've heard sounds like all the atmosphere has been sucked out of it by cranking the volume into the red. I like that the original sounded like it was coming from a crawlspace under your feet. Numerator, do you have a dynamic range analysis program? There's an unfortunate lack of Pyrexia on this site. |

I don't have a program like that, but it's easy to tell the album has been remastered (in a bad way). That and the redone artwork are pretty lame, but it's better than paying the price for an original. |
