obscura doesn't feel that dense to me tbh. there's a lot of repetition in the riffs that make it more digestible (comparatively) even if the initial shock/wacky factor is high. this band's songwriting still throws me for a loop even tho i've heard it a gorillion times

I def think Ulcerate are also fatiguing because of how brickwalled their production is, but also I don't do days of death metal very often anymore as is

yeah that's v true as well, the new one might(?) be the first record to alleviate some of that

Indeed, the low DR production hurts Ulcerate albums a lot.

"I def think Ulcerate are also fatiguing because of how brickwalled their production is, but also I don't do days of death metal very often anymore as is"
I feel the same way, while i still like them very much, they don't hit as hard these days, i'm more into Post and Metalcore recently

I just finished the new one and I'm jamming Stare back to back with it but I think the fact that those two are a lot more "open" with more sections where the instruments (and the listener) can breathe really lends them better to jamming together than some of their earlier material

Yeah, agreed re fatiguing prod.
I’d love Ulcerate to have an album as well-produced as Colo(u)red Sands. That’s an immense take on post-ish disso-death and very easily ‘listenable’ in comparison. I guess that’s a Marston > thing

I still really dig these guys but man are my puny ears tender these days

Marston is the Steven Wilson of tech/disso death. They could perfectly be brothers. They should do something together

Well to be fair Ulcerate does fit that 'thinking man's metal' tag. I don't remember if it was a guy from Pelican or other Post-Metal band who said it but that tag suits a lot of metal acts because of their changing, slow-mid paced tempo combined with intricate melodies and complex songwritings. I definitely lean towads that kind of pensive state inducing metal

This is aging phenomenally well now that Stare and Cutting have had time to simmer

Might like this more than Stare

From time to time (every 10 minutes or so) I wonder why in the everloving fuck didn't I bother to see Ulcerate and Mayhem play down the road earlier in the year inside a venue which was decorated like a cave with mist machines that closed down a few months ago.
