Nah there's def some sludge in this band. Maybe moreso in the earlier stuff but yeah. [2]



This new one is definitely not sludgy, and it was never their strongest trait. Not really a big deal though, it's not like Grande being tagged bm or something, just a bit of artist title confirmation bias ;)

New one will end up top 10 this year, maybe even higher. Would currently be 4th for me.

Yeah there's been a lot of great stuff released so far, pumped to see what the rest of the year holds. Gonna be hard to top 2016 or 2017 though.

Locktender was a clean 4 to me, for now. I've fived Hooded menace and listen to it every week m/...still can't get into that Portal thing, but it looks like it's my bad. 4.5'd Slugdge. Gonna check Usurpress, what should i expect?



There's cool things this year though - Atlas Moth and Kaoteon top 10 candidates for me.

You guys need to check the new Oceans Of Slumber. Haven’t felt this way about an album since Teethed Glory and Injury (quality wise)

lol old classics are important but sometimes its just difficult to hear all Melvins albums (f.e.)...as Moloko says "The Time Is Now"...no... for sure that would be one of my flaws regarding metal...i do it a little randomly, when some old time band does something i like i go to their past and related bands.

Slugdge/Rolo Tomassi are the only new releases I've heard this year & maybe only 7 or so releases from the whole of last year.



A decent (I think) justification for this is if you bide your time then the truly well regarded stuff rises to the top eventually, if I wanted to delve deeply into 2017 I've now got all these end of year lists/averages to peruse, I can just cherry pick what I like the sound of.



Ideally I'd like to catch up on all the classics/old 'cult' gems AND listen to new stuff, but anything approaching a sufficient amount of time consistently alludes me.

Sink in, inhale the ichor

why not assume your true form?

Join with us this is our blessing

unified as one forever

biologically entwined

Together until the end time.



in the name of the Greatfather, worship him and no other

Bestow upon us the sigil, arise from your silent ritual



(The Spectral Burrows = Holly (Sluggy) fuckin shit)
