HELL YES

While perusing the best metal blog on the internet (this one) I found a link to a full album stream from a band called Nightrage. I'd never listened to them before now, but holy shit are they ever awesome. Their new album is the album that In Flames would have made this year if they hadn't turned to complete shit after Clayman. So yeah check that out here.

The list continues after the break!

Forlorn Friday

Every day I post a song according to the day's theme. The Friday theme is "Forlorn Friday" which means post-metal and metalgaze. "Why be forlorn on a Friday?" You ask me, "Fridays," you insist, "Are for partying." Clearly you have a lot to learn because in metal, every day is for partying. If you're going to be forlorn, Friday is just is good as any other day. Besides, Friday and forlorn both start with an "f". The song for today is...

...And the kvlt fans wept.

I was on Amazon.ca looking at a coffee table book called True Norwegian Black Metal (I'm not being paid to say that), and there was a little underbar asking "Looking for other Black Metal products?" The products listed in the underbar contained both Renihilation and Aesthetica by Liturgy.

And the black metal purists shook their fists at their computer screens in anger.
