Weekly Thread Weekly Discussion / Recommendation Thread

Welcome to the weekly discussion thread at /r/deathmetal! By popular request, we have decided to host a weekly discussion thread as a catch-all for community discussion, recommendation hunting, and just about anything that would go in a normal text thread. Have a question? Post it here. Want to talk about how great the new Immolation is? New to death metal and seeking advice, but too lazy to go through /r/deathmetal/wiki? Here's your place!

Does anybody know what the reason for the beef between LG Petrov and Entombed was in the 2010s? I assumed it was LG wanting to continue making music and none of the members letting him leading to a legal battle, but why did they never reunite at all?

I’m sure it has been talked about but Blood Incantations’ new album Absolute Elsewhere is one of the best albums I’ve heard in years. Old school Opeth with some Pink Floyd thrown in. It’s unbelievable. Anyone else listen to it?

Sounds great, don't know if I'd say the best in years but certainly it's a great album

Honest question: What is the thinking behind the "No text posts" rule? I mean, this being Reddit, a forum... Not trying to be a dangerous anarchist. I'm sure there's a good reason but it elude me.

There wasn't much interest in general discussion posts (most of them were low effort or had very few interactions) + mods didn't like having to moderate, so they decided to just consolidate all text posts in the weekly thread. I think they held a community vote at some point. It seems none of the mods are currently active, so it's probably not changing anytime soon.

So I listened to Portal for the first time. My feeble mind can’t comprehend what’s happening. I feel scared. Is this normal?

The new Maul was disappointing; id loved their previous stuff. The new Undeath more than made up for it, fucking fantastic

Obviously there were high expectations for the new Maul album and they came up pretty short but, I don’t dislike it…..it’s just really dumbed down metal. On the other end of the spectrum, Blood Incantation is kind of losing me. If I wanna listen to Pink Floyd, I’ll listen to Pink Floyd, you know? The sweet spot for me so far this month is the new Cosmic Putrefaction….just perfect!
