Yeeaaah... I kinda do that a lot. As soon as I hear a hint of Metal I class it in that category ignoring the other influences on the album. I think I should take a little break from Metal, just to refocus.

Well what's nice about Necro Deathmort is that crosses loads of genres. so I imagine it be great for listening to when you're not sure what you feel like listening to

Found this russian band yesterday, they released a full length this year's january which can be freely downloaded off their Bandcamp page.

They are designated as post-punk/shoegaze but I honestly don't know what post-punk is (as in how it sounds) so to describe this in other terms, atmosphere and structure seems to be shoegazy (it uses more conventional structures than post-rock) with lots of post-rock-ish riffing (that is nontheless used in a bit more conventional way) and weird vocals. At first I didn't really like vocals but they are seeming to grow on me.

I only found live recordings on youtube and I dislike the vocals in these but here it is:

Have to say the strain of melody running through this song is wonderful. Really emotive stuff. I'm generally a huge fan of Desiderii Marginis anyway and this new album is shaping up to be very pleasant sounding dark ambient (though it's probably their least dark effort to date).

Isn't that breathtaking?

Fate of Uncertainity - Null Cycles

Bandcamp

Some trippy atmospheric stuff, all made by one guy. And with an album name like that, you know you'll check it out.

You Big Ox - Flowers Grow From Baby Corpese

This album is fuckin' A.

Very relaxing trance, suitable for essentially any situation that requires a sort of futuristic psychedelic ambient backdrop. Music you can fall asleep to, write poetry to, fall asleep to, or just sit back to and enjoy an excellent buildup that eventually leads to some pretty sexy almost dance-inducing beats.

Didn't mind this at all, thanks for the post.

Don't know why, but it encouraged me to blow the dust off my Orbital albums, not necessarily new but the 'Blue' and 'Brown' albums might be something you may enjoy (but I'm assuming you're already familiar with them).



This is from an Indie video game called 'Capsized' - the OST is pretty good to listen to: (again, not really new)

Hopefully this hasn't already been recommended, but Grendel's Timewave Zero is an awesome release worth checking out. Epic, dark, aggressive, and catchy - aggrotech-lite (more like futurepop) for a weekend-long rave or a simple night out at a club.

Meh, heard this a while back and to me it sounds somewhat watered down compared to some of the previous releases. Aggrotech bands have a horrible habit of going down the trancey/poppy route in their careers.

Personally I don't mind it, although I suppose that's because I haven't largely followed many aggrotech bands. I've been recently favoring Combichrist and Psyclon 9, but I've also been listening to some more traditional EBM so the balance doesn't upset me.

You need some power/rhythmic noise and some scatty IDM and breakcore in your life

Resisting the urge to play all at once, but I'll definitely give these all a listen as soon as I'm finished up listening to this other album on Youtube.

To be honest the second and final tracks/bands aren't anything mindblowing but ESA seems pretty ok.

Actually you might like the new Suicide Commando single, it's pretty catchy and ideal club-fodder:

That I do. And I've only listened to Bind, Torture, Kill in its entirety, but I think it's safe to say I don't see myself really disliking anything in this discography. I'm very easily pleased when it comes to EBM I suppose.

I have yet to get past the first track of this album, but I'm getting really excited. This is awesome. Kinda like Pygmalion-era Slowdive or Talk Talk with a healthy dose of drone and some of that Earth-like riff repetition. Might make my top 30 of the year, if this song's anything to judge by.

Also, The Pirate Ship Quintet is on Spotify. Nothing groundbreaking, but exceptionally enjoyable post-rock nonetheless. Some screamo and neoclassical (read: strings) elements, too. Barring some borderline releases (Earth, Planning for Burial, Swans), it's certainly up there in my top three post-rock albums of the year.

Oh.

My.

God.

Kay, see that release ^

Throw it away, and listen to this.

http://librarytapes.bandcamp.com/album/sun-peeking-through

Personally I'd throw them both away. The first link was completely unsatisfying and the second one didn't have anything going on for me to even listen to.

Oh cool, new Library Tapes. They've never really blown me away, but their stuff is consistently nice.

That Hammock album is ancient, though. It's a classic for sure. They seem to have a new album due in October.

New Mount Eerie has leaked. It's his second album this year.

Wow, I loved both of those :/

But Library Tapes was excellent.

Awesome indie pop/rock.

Just like that, Papa Roach's new album has been leaked. May be on youtube or AOL..idk. But, surely its been leaked.

You gonna find many guys posting new album information which haven't released it yet. I'm NOT the only one.

There have only been about three people to do that thus far. Most of us know that you don't recommend something you haven't even listened to. Just sayin'.

Oh please.....Mr hoopajoo. Your "Just saying" always sucks.

I recommend only those stuffs which I have already been through and really LIKED it. Give me one example( or my recommendation) which you think that has not been listened by me and I randomly recommended here.

Lol. How can you have a come back to this "Now, stop acting like an obsolete elitist rotted donkey's dick."
Plus witty remarks will go over his head for sure.

That is probably THE ultimate non-Metal album of the year. Such a strong noble and desperate voice, backed up by a great mixture of atmospheric noise, Post-Rock and some kind of trip-hop.
