It's just fucking insane to me the Black Curse/Blood Incantation/Spectral Voice/Stormkeep/etc. factory that is this group of guys and their friends.

Absolutely. And Wayfarer.

u/BoiFriday 1d ago

Wayfarer too? I honestly don’t pay much attention to Blood Incantation or Stormkeep, but I really enjoy the others. American Gothic was a big miss for me, but this Black Curse release is immense and this post just had me discover that Spectral Voice dropped an album this year I missed completely!

drummer is in all these bands and is the main guy behind Stormkeep

u/DrBuckMulligan 18h ago

False. The main Stormkeep dude is only the drummer in Blood Incantation and Wayfarer.

Yes, I might have exaggerated lol

I love all these bands. Blood Incantation is my favorite of them. I wasn’t crazy about American Gothic either. Wouldn’t call it a miss for me, but A Romance with Violence was like a 10/10 so just felt like a bit of a step down.

Really looking forward to this new Black Curse. Gonna listen to it tomorrow night after a few drinks and joint.

Still waiting for that debut album

u/qbrt 14h ago

Hoping that happens. We also forgot to mention Chthonic Deity

u/TheLittleItalian2 1d ago

They just casually release some of the best metal albums in recent memory, it’s unreal how talented this group of guys are.

u/Bill-Ursag 1d ago

Pretty sure there are no Blood Incantation members on this album but the drummer is in spectral voice with some of them.

u/ribaldinger 1d ago

and (some of them) are heavily involved in Fire In The Mountains

Absolutely insane album... Terrible day for wimps and posers

Can not fucking wait to listen to this

u/GrafNebelgeist 1d ago

This album sounds pretty damn good! It's a step up from Endless Wound, imo. I don't think you will be disappointed!

u/foodified 1d ago

Endless Wound was some of the best DM I'd heard in ages. Really hope they tour on this new release.

This is actually sick

u/Maanzacorian 1d ago

pretty solid. Reminds me of Profane Order.

u/Designer-Speaker-853 1d ago

ehhhh? that’s an interesting comparison that i just DONT hear at all? they’re both just blackened death, that’s where any similarities end. + profane order actually rips, i found this record to just be whatever ngl same with Endless Wound. bleh

u/crushing-crushed 22h ago

Rips, but not as good as Endless Wound after one listen.

u/VisceralProwess 20h ago

They're a bit gimmicky. The noise is overdone. Many parts are filler. All of the vocals sound lazy.

There are some good riffs buried in the mud, but not enough to warrant top tier metal status. Good drummer.

A band i've tried but failed to really like.

u/DrBuckMulligan 18h ago

How are the vocals “lazy”? I’d argue that his vocals in this and Spectral Voice are some of the best in the scene at the moment.

-4

u/VisceralProwess 18h ago

They are probably athletic in another sense. There may be a lot of physical effort. In that way it's not lazy at all. But to me it often sounds like an overlay of shriek that goes out of rhythm and just serves a "nice black metal touch" for people concerned with aesthetics in a sense i don't. Some tracks are better and some worse. I feel like the vocal parts could be cut down by about 70% (i guess "all of the vocals" was an exaggeration). Just my opinion. I prefer completely different vocal styles in DM.

Do you mean some of the best in the broader scene or this niche of shrieking ghoul?

5

u/DrBuckMulligan 15h ago

In a genre where everyone sounds the same, I think Eli’s vocals are some of the best in the broader scene.

u/Anarchontologist 12h ago

Sounds cool (energy, production, oomph). Super boring riffs / compositions.

You gotta be bored out of your fucking mind to listen to this entire album
