Release News / Pre-orders

[Emplate]

New Alcest track posted, if anyone wanted a kick in the arse to preorder. Not quite an instant classic, but's blackgaze, so I see the Écailles de Lune comparison. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwE5FG-pIdk

That actually sounded quite interesting. Wouldn't have expected that after the pointless floating-in-atmosphere-going-nowhere mumbo jumbo of Shelter.

New Alcest was better than expected, sounds better than the last album. Weirdly I could've done without the black vocals and it would've been a perfect track, don't think the band needs em anymore, the riffing says it all.

I now think they used just the right amount. It was only one section and they used it to its potential imo. I do see what you're saying though; I think that about summed up my thoughts on first listen.

Sure, could have done without the black vox, too, but then again I think they were used with very good taste here. Fit the part of the song perfectly. Reckon Neige once said he only uses black vocals when the music needs it and when it fits.

All over that Meshuggah splatter, plus it's $4 cheaper.

[Godflesh]

Gonna take that splatter too. Looks great!

Had an email back from NB UK after asking where my Meshuggah box was... apparently most boxes have been held up for six weeks while they remedy the "manufacturing delay"... ie: fixing all those misprinted "Nothing" labels!

Measure twice, cut once, and all that...

I hope they sell that thru the US enslaved store.

I think I'll pick it up at their show. Probably gonna go with CD though, since I got the first two albums on CD as well. 
Really curious wether Gaahl is going to participate on the album, since it was said that even though he wasn't going to do live performances with Wardruna anymore (fortunately, I saw the old Line-Up life once before), he'd still be involved. But now he's not listed as a member of the group anymore at all (on Facebook, that is; he's still mentioned as a member on their website).
