December 1st. The Christmas Metal Invasion begins.
It's only a Slipknot Christmas display set to Psychosocial. With a headbanging snowman.
Fun fact, Corey Taylor is a Doctor Who fanboy and voiced the Fisher King.

Yeah, that's been on my list of things to listen to. Glad to hear it's good! It's available on Spotify too. Link below:
Everything Swallow the Sun does is awesome. Have you heard their cover of Solitude?
The original is awesome but I freaking love the funeral doom version as well.

Currently listening to Timelapse [album] by Adimiron (link is to Bandcamp). Says 'prog/death' on their Twitter profile, but they sort of sound like Disturbed only cleverer and more metal.

All right, which of you scruffy nerf herders hasn't seen Star Wars yet?
Just to set the mood though, here's Galactic Empire doing metal covers of the Star Wars theme!

I have way too large a backlog of things to post, yet I keep finding more metal. Like how long this list is now has gone beyond funny to ludicrous. Going to try to catch up therefore by including one previously discovered thing and one more recently discovered thing, roughly.
Evadne - The Shortest Way
Gothic doom metal that sounds a bit like Draconian except heavier. Mostly growled vocals with rather sparing use of clean vocals, which are mostly male, but one song has clean female vocals. Recommended if you like Draconian, Doom:VS, or October Tide. In the past few months this album has consistently popped up, to the point that I need to give it a break. I only wish they had more stuff out!
Dødsfall - Kaosmakt
Old school sounding black metal, but not muddy. Bit like Taake. I like it.

More from Agent's backlog. Siege Perilous [Album] by Kamelot. Man, I am really digging this early Khan era Kamelot. It's awesome. Does everything Roy Khan touch turn to gold? \m/ www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLROltLXn4328qaReMfSMoyXGsKHv83VtC Formless [Album] by Mourning BelovethAlong with Evadne's The Shortest Way, this album has quickly become one of the albums that I always come back to, though the sound is different. Awesome melodic funeral doom in the vein of a slightly more minimalistic My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, and Shape of Despair. Starts off with Theories of Old Bones, which is a bit obtuse (but still awesome, and gets better with time), but after that, man does it pay off. Stark. That's the right word. They go to a place in the head where hope and hopelessness don't even have concepts. These songs are all dark and desolate, and by turns mournful and heavy where they need to be, yet still crushingly bleak and beautiful. They're all awesome, so I can't say one is better than the other. I do have to say though, that Transmissions is a perfect end to this album. I love dystopias done well, especially when they don't fit this modern trend of angsty teenagers with guns. Real dystopias are DARK, OPPRESSIVE, and a force that cannot be fought, and this song is a wonderful minimalist dystopia in and of itself. Why don't we see more doom metal combined with dystopias? I mean, it's just a perfect combination! In short, I freaking love this album and am attempting to track down everything Mourning Beloveth have ever done. Seriously, why are these guys not better known? Sovran [Album] by DraconianNew Draconian album! I think I like this as much as my favorite Draconian album, Turning Season Within, but still as depressing. I feel like the sound is more 'together,' though TSW is still great. Heavy Lies the Crown is a great opener, but I found that the rest wormed its way into my brain as well. Beautiful. Stay away if you can't stand female vocals though, because they're more prominent. Very nice!

I meant to post every day, but...didn't. My backlog has backlogs...to the point that if I were to post albums in listening order, by the time I get to posting one, I've forgotten what it sounded like. I've started leaving notes for myself, but it kind of doesn't help if it's been too long. Be that as it may, here are two prime selections from Un - The Tomb of All ThingsAgent's Notes: DOOM!!!* Sludgy bleak funeral doom. No droning or decrepitness though, but heavy. Awesome. Tyranny - Aeons in Tectonic Interment (Misspelling is the band's not mine) Agent's Notes: FUNERAL DOOM!!!!!!!!!* Ahhhh, here's my decrepit Evoken-esque lightless pit growling from the void funeral doom fix. Agent is happy. Available as a paid Bandcamp download - click on album name.
*Every single exclamation point included. Clearly my notetaking abilities have improved since then. :-P

Mournful Embrace of Aeons [Album] - Mysteriarch
| | What I Thought:
Majestic, epic melodic black metal. Came across this by accident on Youtube, and it hooked me right away. Very enjoyable!
| | |
|
Al Azif [Album] - The Great Old Ones
| | What I Thought:
Ever since I heard Sulphur Aeon's Gateway to the Antisphere, I've been wanting to find more Lovecraftian/Cthulhuoid metal. Came across TGOO. Definite like. Very good melodic black metal. Touch of post metal. Love the brooding, creepy, cold atmosphere. Looking forward to listening to their other album, Tekeli-li.

Guess what I'm listening to right now?
2 hours and 10 minutes. This is going to take some serious digesting. Also, probably turn out to be a giant slab of bunny fuel.
