The first EP in th series has 69 tracks I think (this is off the top off my head).

Son of Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh has something like 73 tracks, and the final one has 84.

Yes - they are all 7" inches, but they do play at 33rpm as opposed to 45rpm.

Still most sings are between 6 and 20 seconds long (I think it's 222 tracks in total, and they fly by!).

First 2 comps are great, 3rd one is just okay. Neanderthal track SLAYS on the first comp. Fuck. Such a great band.

My last.fm link is in my sig. Awesome avatar, by the way.

The Gates of Slumber - Hymns of Blood and Thunder

[AraraSPAMWitch]

The Gates of Slumber - Hymns of Blood and Thunder

How does this compare with Conqueror? I thought that album was pretty decent, but the only tracks I found myself repeatedly listening to were the title track and To Kill and be King. I really liked the mid-paced, epic approach used there, but the rest of the album was a little too straight rock-n-roll for me. Just curious which approach the new album uses.

Thou / Salome - Our Enemy Civilization

Been in heavy rotation for me this past week.

Current 93 - Aleph at Hallucinatory Mountain

Slow tempos make it feel quite doomy and coupled with Tibet's apocaliptic lyrics it churns away beautifully. Glad I managed to get a copy.

[damakable]

I've gotta say, this is a great topic for getting recommendations from. Nasum, Bllleeeeaaauuurrrrgghhh, and I'd been told to check out Between the Buried and Me before but am just getting around to doing it now. So those were some good tips, and I've got some Clutch to listen to as well. Right now I've got the new Lightning Bolt album on, Earthly Delights. Seems like their standard fare so far, not that that's a bad thing, but it's just getting started.

The new Converge, Axe to Fall, is freaking brilliant. Quite a few collaborations / guest appearances, I hear, from the likes of Genghis Tron (for example). There's a bit of a change in their sound, with crisper, even bright guitar bits and solos. I saw these guys open for Mastodon and Dethklok -- missed High on Fire, unfortunately, but it was a great show.

Fuck Buttons, also good. Next on my list, Baroness' Blue Album.

If you like lo-fi breakcore check out all the free shit on Bumhong Records. I'm loving it right now.

Who Killed Bumhong? is a great little sampler, and if you're up for a laugh, check out the world's best album made on a mobile and recorded, it would seem, walking home late at night - MC Software Unplugged.

I'm also loving Shitmatt, Shitty Bedroom Producer and DJ Scotch Egg this week.

And my wife's Chick's On Speed albums, to take things in another direction...

+1.....shitmat is great, and hilarious on the mic....scotch egg is amazing when he isnt screaming over the track with a megaphone....scotch hauzen was a brilliant album...loving the 300bpm bach

here to party

[Rob]

Portal - Swarth -- more in the mood for folk-related stuff, but gotta have some metal
Lal and Mike Waterson - Bright Phoebus
Kristen Noguès - Marc'h Gouez
v/a - Gather in the Mushrooms: British Acid Folk Underground 1968-1974 -- great comp.
Synanthesia - s/t
X - Under the Big Black Sun

[Acid King]

Reverend Bizarre - In the Rectory of the Reverend Bizarre
Beanflipper - Total Dysfunctional Collapse

I really liked the mid-paced, epic approach used there, but the rest of the album was a little too straight rock-n-roll for me. Just curious which approach the new album uses.

On average, the songs are shorter and faster. For example, Conqueror has 5 tracks over 7 minutes, Hymns of Blood and Thunder has 2, with the longest being a little over 10 minutes. For the most part, the new one is mostly midpaced traditional heavy metal, not the slower, doomier approach they use on Conqueror and To Kill and Be King.

Pantera - Reinventing the Steel (very late to the party with this one. actually prefer it to VDoP!)

[CStarFlare]

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

I think I like this a lot. It's good music to do homework to.

Also listening to the Jethro Tull Christmas Album.

[TLB]

Rayforce OST. And live. So awesome.

[Battletoad]

Coming back to some personal alltime favourites of mine...

Oomph! - Wunschkind
Finntroll - Ur jordens djup
Breach - Kollapse

These are just some of my absolute favourite albums, but THE ones which I definitely can´t stop listening to.

Bohren & der Club of Gore - Black Earth

I think I like this a lot. It's good music to do homework to.

Bohren & der Club of Gore and homework? Hah somehow I can´t imagine that. Great music anyway.

[Acid King]

Breach - Kollapse

Personally, I've always liked It's Me God the most.

Pentagram - First Daze Here
Bongripper - Hippie Killer

[Battletoad]

Breach - Kollapse

Personally, I've always liked It's Me God the most.

Yes this one comes real close for me, too. Extremely intense.

"You into metal?"
"...As long as it's heavy."

I love those guys. Their singer plays drums in another band called the Kill who are also really awesome.

It's All Happening -- Iwrestledabearonce

I'm pretty sure I've enjoyed every song on it. And I don't even like screaming metal, barring SOAD [and they don't even do it that much].
I love how everything goes all over the place. I wish she [the lead singer] would actually *sing* more though, her voice is great, and I usually hate rock with female singers.

Yeah, been digging on them this year, too For some more agressive stuff in the "chip tunes meets electro" department, check out Huoratron. His last two EP's have some pretty rocking stuff.
