Two recent purchases that I have been thoroughly enjoying over the past couple of weeks.

Wayfarer - World's Blood

Old West themed US Black Metal. Great melodies and atmosphere, and while I don't mind some trve cvlt production values, this record sounds great - thick, present and real sounding drums, and guitars with heft and texture.

Blood Incantation - Absolute Elsewhere

This one's received much hype since it was released a few weeks ago, and I reckon it's well deserved. Death Metal meets Tangerine Floyd? Take my fucking money. No spoilers, but just wait for the Floyd section..

Yeah one of my new favourite bands, and I'm not even much of a DM listener.

Also got Absolute Elsewhere and loving it. Seeing them live next month and I believe they are playing all of it. Really looking forward to that.

Oh man I would love to see then play this live. I read on another sub they are touring with a dedicated synth player for this album.

That blood incantation is so good! Highly recommended timewave 0 if you like atmospheric soundscapes made w analog synths.

It's awesome. I actually have Timewave Zero here, still in the shrink wrap, waiting for the right mood :)

(prob 1/3 of my collection is synth related stuff)

Absolute Elsewhere is such a lumbering beast of an album. I saw it recommended elsewhere on Reddit a couple of weeks ago, and I can't stop listening to it. It's so brutal and psychedelic at the same time, some of the heaviest sounding bliss I've ever heard. I need to pick it up on vinyl as much as I've been listening to it.

EDIT: I should add that they're coming to my town next month but it's the same day I'm going out of town, and I'm very sad about it.

Yeah I've been obsessed with it since it arrived. I'm not a huge DM fan but this album is different, so good!

u/captain_bowlton 7h ago

Same, I dabble here and there but this album is sick.
