Anyone know when the debut by Lurking Fear is due? I am massively stoked for this, I love Lindberg's voice. Was gutted when he left Lock-up but Kevin Sharp did a great job on Demonisation.

Teasers so far paint a picture of Bloodbath with Lindberg singing, thats gotta be a win

Been playing Accept's new 'Rise of Chaos' all weekend. Good old school metal, and staying very true to the Tornillo era style... love it, but then I'm a proper 'Analog Man'

Kontrust's "second hand wonderland" and "time to tango" are really fun with enough heaviness for me.

Anyone heading to the Sheffield stoner vs doom festival with my dying bride? Seeing as they never venture north, especially for a band from Yorkshire, in heading down to see them again.

Has the user 'WitnessProtection' left the building? I was just about to reply to his post mentioning Burial, Malediction et al (I have their demos around here somewhere) and it seems his posts have disappeared.

Brief return...

In short, I've now reached a point with PH as a whole where I can no longer justify association with it. It's become a cesspit of nastiness, confirmation bias, bigotry, group think and bullying and I no longer wish to expend mental energy on it. There are plenty of far more positive and engaging places I can direct my attention and web traffic instead. I'll add I don't include those on this thread in that depressing summation, but it's a victim of the culture that pervades the wider site, so I'm out. Post deletion was probably OCD of me, but profile deletion doesn't seem to be an option, so it was the next best thing. Hope folks have found my contributions interesting, even if they have tended to be at the more extreme end of the metal spectrum. Bandcamp profile for those who might be interested.

Special mention to Tuscaneer, via whom I have discovered bands and styles I'd never have considered on my self-guided wanderings. Oh, and Praise Mollusca.

Not sure how much group bullying you can get on PH when you only post on PH once per month for so long.

I post far more on the climate threads and get riddled every day ! I sort of shrug.... smile

I will play him out with this

In his case, twenty past four in the afternoon. Time to listen to Radio 3 and the clock on the mantle piece tocking away.

first release from architects since the passing of tom the guitarist from skin cancer. he was involved in the writing of the song and i've got to say i think he'd be very proud of the end result!..

also...new contortionist album out now...this is a bit of a departure from the djenty stuff but isd absolutely superb..the riff kick in at 1 min 20 secs is beautiful

Been enjoying Lor's In Forgotten Sleep, sort of folk/prog/death mash up:
https://halloflor.bandcamp.com/album/in-forgotten-...

Its similar to Wilderun's Sleep at the Edge of the Earth if you enjoyed that.

If you want something heavier Tomb Mold have me covered:
https://bloodharvestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/pri...

Those who like Bolt Thrower may have seen that they reformed as Memoriam after the death of Martin Kearns with a new line up, they have a small UK tour later this year:
https://willettsio.bandcamp.com/http://www.memoriam.uk.com/

Kadavar's new one Rough Times is pretty good fun, still prefer Berlin.

Oooooh, thanks for that heads up. Liking it a lot, but it's a shame Freese has gone, and a particular shame that Lenchantin is no longer on bass. Will have to wait for the album to judge fully but on the basis of that track the bass is taking a more of a background role, and seems a little less adventurous or eloquent.

yeah, i thought her bass playing was beautiful in a non complicated pure sense.....self assured enough to be prominent without being overstated

Bell Witch - Mirror Reaper: https://bellwitch.bandcamp.com/album/mirror-reaper

It's tagged in a lot of places as 'Funeral Doom' but there's just so much more going on with this...a word of warning though, the album is presented as a single track at 83 minutes long so you'll need a chunk of time free to fully appreciate it, well worth it though IMHO!

Also the new Wolves In The Throne Room is predictably excellent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1EOSgJwSY8

It earns bonus points from me for having a guest appearance from Steve Von Till of Neurosis!
