Our This Week in Metal post collects our thoughts on music released in or around this week in the music world. We cover mostly metal, but we consider other genres to allow our writers poseur flexibility. Follow us on Instagram too!
Bobo's Brainless Bearing
Our resident death metal bear happened to pick up a scent of some obscure dm, leading him to the depths of the Hungarian forest. Before the rest of the staff knew it, he was gone... for a while. But now he's back, frolicking around, radiating gloom and despair — with a satisfied smirk on his face?
Metalligator's Chomping Commentary
The Overview is a concept album about the overview effect, a strong response to visual stimuli that causes a cognitive shift in a person. With a runtime short of 42 minutes, and two long songs trying to bring influences like Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Vangelis into "a modern context", The Overview looks promising on paper. Stare deeply into Wilson's colored balls to find enlightenment in his proggy delights.
Anti-Peat's Perplexing Positions
When Anti-Peat saw a slew of people recommending melodic black metal of a cold and wintry nature, he had to stapp and take a look. Yes, that's how he ended up pressing anti-stapp on Sól Tér Sortna by Istapp. That translates to pressing play. If you'd like us to stapp with the stapping, please read on.
If there is one period and sound in metal history that gets Anti-Peat going like a small kid in a sweet shop, it's 1990s Sweden. But can you get too much of a good thing? Join Anti-Peat as he tries to eat some German cuisine consisting of salty Swedish fish with a side of meatballs.
Inksterium's Iridescent Impression
Have you ever longed for a cold stream on a hot day? Fresh air after rain? Perhaps the fourth album from Italian blackgaze shapeshifters, Svnth, will be what you seek. Lady Inksterium certainly thinks that flower fields everywhere should be in danger. But frolicking is not a crime!
