[quote=Aaron;18824738]Alright, what new shit's good and heavy and not too techy.

Unrelated; best Devil Townsend release to start with?[/quote]
Cough

Terria's a good standout you could try, but pretty much everything he's done is awesome, including SYL.

I love SYL. Gene Hoglan is a big influence. Literally.

Is his stuff meant to be ordered at all?

not that i know of, my first solo devin townsend (or devin townsend band) exposure was terria and then accelerated evolution, but definitely check out everything.

I can't stop listening to Woods of Ypres at the moment. Brilliant band.

Could anyone recommend slowcore jams to mope around to?

[QUOTE=kitsch;18857327]anyone got some recs for noise based and or blackend doom?[/QUOTE]

As far as blackened doom goes;

Black Bile - [i]Cloacal Meditation[/i]
Elysian Blaze - [i]Levitating The Carnal[/i]
Funeral Mourning - [i]Drown In Solitude[/i]

i second cloacal meditation, shit is immense

also ghast is a must for blackened doom

Not looking for any specific musical suggestion, but if anyone would be so kind as to post some good/active blogs for music right now that I might not know about that would be cool. My downloading of new stuff has been a bit lackluster lately and I need to go on a spree, you guys have a general idea of what I like so I trust your judgement.

What Hate Forest albums should I start with? Never really given them a listen.

the most ancient ones

so like the first ones?

i'm fixin' to rape you

I'm looking for more ambient/dark noise stuff similar to Tim Hecker and SoiSong.

never listened to either of those but some of my favourite dark ambient is -

Halo Manash - SYoMA
Archon Satani - Mind of Flesh & Bones
Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun
Lustmord - Heresy
Ben Frost - Theory of Machines
Current 93 - Imperium
Autopsia - Palladium
7 From Life - Souls Of Dead Sharks
Artefactum - Rosarium Hermeticum
Atrium Carceri - Cellblock
Moëvöt - Abgzvoryathre
:zoviet*france: - Popular Soviet Songs and Youth Music
Allegory Chapel Ltd. - Trip

i back moevot hard

tim hecker isn't dark ambient tho, dunno what the other one is. he has a pretty large discog though, so probably best to grab more hecker albums.

also check out: belong - [I]october language[/I]

and maybe: yellow swans - [I]going places[/I]

alright, thanks. i'll take a peek.

so far I'm really enjoying Atrium Carceri

[QUOTE=Ca5bah;18863898]so far I'm really enjoying Atrium Carceri[/QUOTE]

check out other artists off of the Cold Meat Industry label

Recommend me some weird / original but classic DM / Thrash. Something on the lines of:

Atheist
Death
Demilich
Nocturnus
Gorguts
Aspid
Coroner
Cynic
Watchtower
Meshuggah

etc.

sororicide - the entity

Finding Clyde
 

Pretty sick band, I'd say. Check them out here on Facebook with their single "Get Higher" http://on.fb.me/KqEBVn

Can you guys rec me some "epic" sounding heavy/power metal with an 80's kind of sound and vocals that aren't super gay?
