This is awesome but I’d still put the new Yellow Eyes above this. Don’t think you can compare the two albums though. Very different approaches to bm. This is more elegant and triumphant at face value but the new YE is more vicious and nuanced imo.
At the end of the year I know this will be the favorite of the Gilead releases and for good reason

Akasha is top dog in the black metal house this year as far as I'm concerned

Not going to argue with you there. That album is CRAZY.
What a good fucking year for black metal.

My top three would be this, Deathspell and Cara Neir (if that counts). Followed by Akasha and Vargrav.

After surveying the ratings, this will be a 4.5 or a 2.5 for me. I'm excited to find out which.

Album rules, not sure it's quite at the level of Vigilance Perennial (which was one of my favorite albums of 2017), but close

i don't dig yellow eyes that much. Their fast stuff is great but all the meandering stuff with those weird criss-crossy guitars feel kinda wasted. Not bad, just not hype levels like this album here.

also the drumming in Akasha is ridiculous.

I was referring to Akasha's album from this year, which is definitely not a 3.5
|

Oh I see
BM, punk and lo-fi certainly sounds like an interesting mix of styles

The black metal-punk marriage of genres actually seems to be a bit more commonplace these days, interestingly enough. Not sure how popular it was beforehand but I've heard a lot of bands recently that are injecting punk into black metal.

Sounds like it's heavy af (perhaps too much?). I might check it if only out of curiosity

it's like regular black metal guitars (maybe some first-wavey stuff) and lots of fun varied bass-drumming rhythms, and a really loud THUMPy sound on it too.
