I missed this one on my best albums of March list but it’s really good. Black metal with some melancholy and melody from Switzerland.
#metalsky #blackmetalsky

Abhorration had one of the best conserts I saw at the Inferno festival. If you're not familiar with the band, check out this album. Very brutal stuff. I get some Altars of Madness-vibes from time to time, just boosted up in energy.

still my favorite BaN album. Although I need more time with their latest, which is kind of a mix of this era and the beginning phase

Hymns From The Hills, by Poison Ruïn 13 track album

Yeah, this is what I needed today. Well, this and the new Ultha. I'm going to go pick up the vinyl from my friends at Angry, Young and Poor.

Kaoskampf +raging:void:vltras+, by Hæksenhamer 3 track album

hksenhamer.bandcamp.com/album/kaoska...

primitive rural cabin drunkenness manifested in improvised black metal recordings

orthodox black metal is a thing but it describes a different set of bands than the Batushka-likes

I guess real men wouldn't live long either.

That's probably the longest validation chain I've seen so far but to be fair I've only worked on desktop focused apps in my career

nice, I'm not the only one making overly convoluted logos

real men push straight to production 💪

Got a full recording of

Listening to this in the office. Really nice Spanish black metal from the same guy as Délirant

Good stuff, just happened to be listening to this when seeing your post
