Just now listening to these guys and MGLA, they're good.  Wonder which distros will get these?

Yeah I literally just starting listening to these guys and love it (I've listened to MGLA a lot in the past) 

 

I'm assuming places like 20buckspin, hellsheadbangers, arcane alter, etc should get them because they've all gotten MGLA stuff which is on the same label

20 Buck Spin just got some MGLA stuff in, I inquired about KSM stuff on Instagram but didn't get a reply.  Can't wait for the new album to release on vinyl.

 

Scolex/Mortuous split 7" slams -  out now from Carbonized Records

This isn't an extreme metal release per se, but it wouldn't fit in any other thread. It's also not available on vinyl, sadly, but this is a tragically overlooked band and I'll do what I can here to spread some awareness. In the early 2000's Virgin Black created a trilogy of albums. This blurb describes the three Requiem albums better than I can:

It is a requiem mass composed as one unfolding piece, progressing from the all-orchestral first stage, through to a balanced, collaborative orchestra/band middle section, concluding with the band coming to the fore in the final and heaviest section. Total duration at 2 hours 33 minutes.

Befitting “a mass for the dead”, the sounds, whether represented by orchestral or metal instrumentation, are ever-presently dirgeful and heartrending. On display is both an adherence to and an outright betrayal of the long-established tradition of requiem masses in classical music. Typifying that betrayal is the semi-atonal vocal barrage referred to as the “death choir” – a chorus of extreme voices employing a resonant undertone technique found most commonly in death metal. Musical elements such as a full string ensemble (with specifically requested low C-tuned basses), woodwinds, horns, brass, timpani, heavy A#-tuned guitars, drums, tenor/baritone and soprano solo voices, death solo voice, and full choir are at times dexterously interwoven and at other times deliberately thrust together for chaotic effect. 

Many passages for the words were reproduced from traditional religious mass texts and lend a ceremonial component offset by the far more personal and emotional words penned specifically for the project which interject throughout.

Six individual audio engineers were engaged to realize production, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra enlisted to perform the scores, and the Adelaide Stamford Academy Choir for performance of choral arrangements.

With an unerring artistic commitment, bordering on folly, composers Sesca Scaarba (formerly Samantha Escarbe) and Rowan London financially backed the project entirely themselves and notably – these many years later – still remain tens of thousands of dollars in debt to “incredibly generous and understanding people” as Rowan put it. 

With all ties to record labels now severed, supporters of Virgin Black can be assured that 100% of profits will go to the band.

 

 

The first album was never released. Since that part of the trilogy is basically neoclassical music, I assume the label (The End Records) wanted to push the second and third albums first. The band basically disappeared for a decade, but now they've announced they'll finally release the first album of the trilogy, which is available here: https://virginblack.store/trilogy/

If you haven't checked out Mezzo Forte or Fortissimo, I can't recommend them enough. If you like funeral doom or anything close to it, I think those two albums are the absolute pinnacle of the genre.

Funny article. I have so many damn band shirts that I have storage boxes under the bed and in the garage along with two long drawers of my dresser. I was wearing my Darkthrone shirt at a tiki event(to gain those rebel points) and it was the start of a conversation with the bartender. We ended up talking about metal and made plans to see a show together in the future. Almost every time I wear that shirt, someone will start randomly talking to me. It still surprises me.

Haha, I was at a yuppie wine festival thing recently full of dudes in cheap suits and white dress shoes. I was wearing a Vektor shirt and out of nowhere some guy starts saying how rad Vektor are...

I wore a Fantomas shirt to a black metal show last night not sure if this fits in the not giving a fuck or massive loss of social mana, I'm thinking the latter :rolleyes:

I was just at a 40th birthday party for a bar friend who's a teacher. I was one of 5 bar friend guests. The rest were teachers and administration. It was the first cool evening so I went battle vest and damned if the school's IT guy doesn't show up in a battle vest with a Lucifer Rising back patch. Needless to say, we hit it off.
