 | cylinder Yeah, that?s fair. This North Americans album is very nice, thanks for that. Def a similar vibe to Talons?, which I love. I have a bit of a headache today tho so I think I?ll save that Central Industrial one for another day haha
|
 | Mongi123 New review is up if you're interested my friend
|
 | Gameofmetal Got some new music out bruther m/ https://youtu.be/0PRPAozlRyU?si=o0ivsU6WCWqlfi8n
|
 | DoofDoof My Sophie probably a future Neurosis fan lol
|
| DoofDoof Sophia is a lovely name yeah! We nearly chose it but my Sophie isnt a real delicate girly girl and Sophie suits her a little better - she likes to kick a ball, play remote controlled cars, watch cartoon with fighting, stuff like that :D
|
| DoofDoof Have you started thinking of names yet? Must be close! You going to decide before or wait and meet her. We chose the name Sophie pretty early, Sofia we thought about as is more trendy right now?but my Sophie is 100% not a Sofia and is 100% Sophie. Weird how it works out.
|
| cylinder One more for you (this one will probably be more immediate): https://relapsealumni.bandcamp.com/album/courtesy-and-good-will-towards-men
|
| cylinder Hm.. a 3.2, interesting haha. I hope you?re open to giving it a couple more listens, you might be surprised at how it creeps up on you. Btw I?m planning on checking your last couple recs for me, Central Industrial and North Americans, sometime this weekend. Sorry Ive been taking so long with those
|
| cylinder Check: https://endlessfloods.bandcamp.com/album/ii
|
 | s0nicx Ok lol. About a week or so ago a couple of friends and I were watching a video from them (They do dashcam incident videos) and one of the submitted clips was from "Hawks - Pennsylvania".
|
| s0nicx Hey might be an odd question but did you recently submit a video to the DashCam Lessons channel on YouTube?
|
 | PanosChris Discord is great (and I genuinely forgot its existence), think this link should work: https://discord.gg/aEhaCsTs
|
| PanosChris Heya Hawks, I'd like to shoot you a personal message for a question of mine?is there an email I could refer to (if you're okay with that, of course!)
|
| DoofDoof I was going to ask about the new Slift but you rated the previous a 2.5 !
|
| DoofDoof yeah, I have never dug them, not a fan of the vocals, some of the instrumental work is decent but just not my jam....did enjoy the new Modest Mouse which was a surprise after the previous one
|
 | Gmork89 I was terrified too dude, ill tell you though its shocking how normal it all is at this point. Just gotta get through that first bit where you dont get any sleep haha.
|
| Gmork89 Thats awesome dude, how are you feeling about it? I'm two years ahead of you so if you need any advice or support let me know haha.
|
| Gmork89 Dang dude I didn't even see your reply! Youre having a daughter thats crazy congrats, did everything go okay?
|
 | Ectier Started as a 3 but it just got way too cheesey
|
| Ectier Maladie is delightfully strange
|
| Ectier I think you will like it, vocals seem to have some odd effects. It sounds a bit demoy in places
|
| Ectier Production on the new godthrymm is odd and a bit strange
|
 | WilhelmBlack Rec some good prog rock to me if you have time plz!!!
|
 | bighubbabuddha Music this year is insanely good, I swear we getting 3ish great releases a week lmao.
|
 | AlkemestRedux The Metal Archives reviews for these guys are so sweaty but I'm digging it so far lol Might have to go mining for copypasta, but lemme know what you think if you want some very raw black metal.https://youtu.be/Vpt68FGtW6g?si=At1a9uTb7AHFKVbW
|
 | Muzz79 Underrated band. I?ll def give a spin!
|
| Mongi123 BOC and Hammock rockin my tits off within a week of each other. Damn.
|
 | JayEnder Glad you're digging the new SD bro! It's incredible. Hope RCD clicks for you more too, believe me this band will work its way into your DNA. Also review is in progress, will hopefully write the bulk of it when I get home from work later.
|
| Muzz79 Yeah I?ve jammed twice and getting into
|
| Mongi123 Now is the time! Now that you?re all hammocked and post rocked up. Get ready to be absolutely pummeled with Dust And Disquiet xD
|
| Mongi123 I?ve decided you?re next binge is Caspian lol
|
| Mongi123 lol woooow, you think you?ve listened enough to rank them? Such a big discography. I know you?d love the ambient ones.
|
| Mongi123 So glad you?re enjoying Hammock dude they?re my fav band in the world and most listened to. And on Spotify by miles haha
|
| Mongi123 That Dream Unending album is so dope man. Love the guitar tones. Gives a doom/stoner vibe with dm vox.
|
| cylinder Have you heard A Wilhelm Scream?
|
| Mongi123 Darn, Breathturn is among my top songs ever made. But their work is so vast and prolific you?re bound to find something.
|
| Mongi123 Hell absolute yeah dude and many more where that come from. They essentially went back to their earlier Chasing After Shadows style so you probably adore that one too. They have tons of ambient style too.
|
| cylinder Disagree with the genre tags for them on here. I?d have put black metal, hardcore, and maybe metalcore. Or maybe melodic black metal, if that?s a tag.
|
| cylinder Loving this Dagdrom album, man. The first thing I thought of was that it sounds like A Wilhelm Scream if they played black metal haha
|
| Mongi123 Yeah i already did haha but yeah man this is their best work yet
|
| Mongi123 I'm trying to add a jpeg and it keeps saying duplicate entry waaahhh
|
| Mongi123 Try the new Hammock man is so beyond incredible
|
| JayEnder Bro I'm just as shocked as you are lmfaooo. Simple answer is they're a great band. I think you blasted them for their goofy ass album titles. Sometimes you just gotta give stuff a chance ;] stoked about your P4 rating as that's my absolute favorite by them. Reptile is an all timer
|
| cylinder Glad you dug it man!! Love how they work in the field recordings on that one. Great lyrics too.
|
 | ConcubinaryCode It'll come together for me im sure, theres a lot to talk about it despite its short length.
|
| ConcubinaryCode Hm, I was just wondering if my review was too unfocused because I found myself talking about aspects outside the music for the album i was recc'd. Its a short one and I quickly ran out of stuff to talk about music wise and moved onto the wider narrative behind the album instead. I saw you listened to it and was curious what you thought?
|
 | necropig https://nedgravd.bandcamp.com/album/ascension some filthy DM
|
 | Beardog Check more Textures lil bro! For sure Silhouettes and the debut, after that it might be too much progdjent for your taste
|
| ConcubinaryCode Hey, since the forums are down where do people usually post drafts of their reviews for comments and critique before actually posting them now?
|
| AlkemestRedux Hell yeah dude it's awesome! Very unique and immersive. Gonna have to give it more listens.
|
 | Rowhaus If you're in the soul market, Love Deluxe is literal perfection
|
| Rowhaus I gave Sade a try based on recent bumps and holy moly it's amazing
|
| AlkemestRedux I have not, but just peeped her page and avant-garde folk sounds rad!
|
| AlkemestRedux I feel it man. The sun comes out and I just mellow for a bit lol You might like the new Langhorne Slim or Chloe Hoecker. Dug both of those albums! Langhorne's is definitely more on the Americana/indie side but it's a great album.
|
| AlkemestRedux I'll give em more of a listen this week! The cycle is swinging once again from metal to country lol
|
| AlkemestRedux In spite of ourselves, we'll end up sitting on a raiiinbooow! Hell yeah he rules! But I've basically only heard some of his hits, haven't dug into his discog.
|
 | NudeTayne I'll see if I can crank something out by the end of day. Really clever experiment to inject reviews into the site, which seem to be the most creative writing and social engagement of sput.
|
| cylinder Glad you enjoyed those noisecore albums too :) I appreciate you checking out obscure stuff- the more ratings they get, the higher their chances of getting off the ground
|
| cylinder https://effluence666.bandcamp.com/album/anticholinergic-derangement // Enjoy ;)
|
| cylinder Alessa Gillespie: https://alessagillespie.bandcamp.com/album/lifeless // Death Basket: https://deathbasket.bandcamp.com/album/s-t
|
| cylinder I'm bored at work so I'm gonna link you those noisecore albums from my list for your convenience: Polluted Noise Industries: https://pollutednoiseindustries.bandcamp.com/album/demo-polluted-noise-industries-asymmetry-chastic-flowers-and-assimilated-trees // Asmodexia: https://asmodexianoise.bandcamp.com/album/sentient-mass-of-merging-bodies
|
| AlkemestRedux A tiny bit but they're on my list to dive into. Maybe I'll hit an album or two tomorrow!
|
| AlkemestRedux I'll join you on a couple of their middle discog albums. I haven't listened to Beast and the one before it. Although I think the Serpent Lord demo Order of the Snake is pretty much on par with the Ceremonial Castings debut. All the underappreciated USBM in the house!
|
| AlkemestRedux Hell yeah dude! Their early albums, and then later albums, were so good!
|
| NudeTayne Yeah sure just give me two shakes of a lamb's tail
|
 | Lasssie I mean yeah those kind of vocals can be a bit too much so grind with short length songs are a good fit for it. And from a technical standpoint those vox are super impressing !
|
| Lasssie Listening to it now and i must admit gutterals arent always my cup of tea but the instrumentation is so damn good. Great rec!
|
| Lasssie Will check that one later tonight bro!
|
| Lasssie Youll dig it! Been in the mood for grind the last weeks hard!
|
| Lasssie Youve probably already checked it but the Contrastic debut album kicks ass if ur in the mood for some grind!
|
 | Kimm Yooo fair enough, a little eyas! That's super exciting, my sister's due around the same time (June 17) and I'm stoked to be Auntie Kimbo. Busy time for sure, I hope all goes well. Congrats!!
|
| Kimm No Release of the Month list for March or April! Guessing Neurosis was your pick for March, but I'm curious about April
|
| AlkemestRedux Will do! I've tried listening to them before but I don't think I was ready. Gonna revisit for sure.
|
| AlkemestRedux They do big time. It reminds me of the death metal equivalent of like warnoise in black metal, almost indistinguishable as metal lol Apparently people are calling the microgenre 'free death.' Might spend some time digging into other similar bands. m///
|
| bighubbabuddha No worries bro, no rush from me. Life is going to work out nicely I believe !!
|
| bighubbabuddha Will you do the May List bro? If not could you still listen to my rec at some point possibly, I think you'd dig it :)
|
 | ScuroFantasma Hawks try not to slap a 4.5 or 2.5- on an anticipated metal release in 2026 challenge (impossible) ;)
|
| bighubbabuddha Do you have authority to perma-ban Smok. He's destroyed so many threads bro
|
| bighubbabuddha I'm digging Immolation the first five albums "kick booty" thx for piquing my interest in this M// band
|
 | Orb Hawks my bro I know you're a busy but I google drive folder with my new project locked and loaded. Would love to share w you before it goes public!
|
 | Gyromania = [ - If nothing else, at least I rly dig Roots Circle Usurpers
|
 | Scoot https://open.spotify.com/album/3UsbhfBCykXDVDIfUBcFya?si=KRMyqnWPSLySqgiWrnXlqQ you would love this
|
 | Comatorium. Sweeeeet. I?m almost tempted to come out of retirement for it. Am I crazy or are there American football vibes on blood and fur with the strings horns and percussion?
|
| Rowhaus It's less than 2 minutes, yet feels like an eternity
|
| Rowhaus Only if you promise to hate-listen to the new Charli single lmao
|
| Comatorium. Ooooooh I see that new panopticon 4.8 is there a review coming?!
|
| Gmork89 ILY2! How you been man? Your reviews are awesome these days btw
|
| AlkemestRedux hansolo rec'd me this and holy s*** it's good. still listening through myself but give it a listen! it's definitely climbing my 2026 black metal release list with every song: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=542827
|
 | DarkHorizontal Thanks man. For real no pressure on a review. Hopefully it gives you a little boost of dopamine!
|
| DarkHorizontal Once upon a time you reviewed my other band (Lady Luna and the Devil). I'm back with a new album I wanted to put on your radar. https://sadisticgiant.bandcamp.com/album/top-of-the-food-chain. I'm not asking for a review, just thought you might dig. Cheers.
|
| Rowhaus That 5 on Wolf King is glorious. Glad you dug the new one too!
|
 | efp123 Do you see this s***? Wtf
|
| efp123 https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=209482
|
 | ShadowRemains i see nex just slapped a 4 on that new funebrarum record, that's a good sign
|
 | Get Low album of the month list where
|
| AlkemestRedux Doing my homework on Serpent Lord ahead of their new release, and hot damn this rips: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=547208#287333
|
| Rowhaus Bro same! They've been such a regular in my rotation. Looks like another banger on the way I'm so hyped m/
|
| Rowhaus We got new Saidan around the corner
|
| AlkemestRedux Hmm folk, black metal and atmospheric black metal are all things I enjoy seeing next to each other. I'll give it a spin!
|
| AlkemestRedux Hells yeah! Gonna brush up on their other two albums today too.
|
| AlkemestRedux Just stumbled across these guys and had to make a page for em. They just dropped this EP a few days ago and have a song with Hulder! Lemme know what you think, I'm listening now and digging it: https://www.sputnikmusic.com/soundoff.php?albumid=547058
|
| Gameofmetal Some actual good quality GBK lineage black metal :
|
| Gameofmetal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIZRDZShyuo
|
| Orb Big gratitude for real!!
|
| Orb Hey pal! I decided to reveal my DJ alias to sputnik at large with a list! Is it... Feature worthy??? :) https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=209463
|
| bighubbabuddha Just coming here to send the love bro, Sput is healthier than ever and the staff care about the lil ol' users like me, big up
|
| Orb Thx buddy, appreciate it! Just reached out
|
| Orb How do I find this Jr?
|
| Orb Totally understand my guy! I know there's a couple people who occasionally review drum n bass and stuff around here, just can't remember who at the moment!
|
| Orb TLDR I wanted to record something that would be as timeless as our friendship was and I think I've succeeded. I just think it would be really cool to see it from an outside perspective (or like, read about it anyways).
|
| Orb Also, do you know who around here might be able and willing to review my upcoming project? It's a meticulously assembled 90 minute audio journey consisting of heavily remixed tracks layered into a seamless tapestry of genuinely filthy bass music. It's been almost six months of relentless work, and the whole reason I've made it is to honour a very close friend who passed away recently. That friend got me into DJing back in the day, and this whole project was recorded on the gear he left behind.
|
| Orb I'm a fussy lad hahah its part of my charm!
|
| Orb Just didn't grab me at all and the lead guitar tone was very irritating for me. Also wasn't a fan of the songwriting. I see the appeal, but it just did absolutely nothing for me lol
|
| Rowhaus Oh s*** congrats bro! You're gonna have a new buddy to jam BM and hip-hop with haha. And agreed the singles are rock solid. Gonna try to make the drive for the LA show
|
| Rowhaus You gonna catch Dimmu on their summer tour?
|
| Rowhaus Thanks bro I'm doin okay. Just needed a little break. I'm starting to feel like my usual smartass self again lol
|
| Rowhaus Thanks bro, s*** happens tho that's just life. New Immo slaps btw m/
|
| Rowhaus Took a little break. Recently lost a very close friend of mine and I didn't care to read a lot of the discourse being thrown around here.
|
| bighubbabuddha Yeah Sput rules, you can fart and vibe as much as you like heree
|
 | Dedes Damn brother that's weak SAUCE. Ngl it may be my fav aside from Path but assuredly it needs respins, mostly I'm busy having my bootyhole wrecked by the grimy filth that is new Reeking Aura.
|
| Dedes You hear new Inferi yet
|
| bighubbabuddha Glad Ur back on RYM they are communist dictators with speech on that site
|
| Ectier The second last song with the clean vocals. The guy sounds identical to the vocalist from The Black Heart Rebellion/Tahk. Its confused the hell out of me for llile three days
|
| Ectier New Ultha slaps but one tracks confusing the **** out of me
|
| efp123 Are you banned on rym? What happened?
|
 | evilford Oh damn yeah will def have to peep
|
| JayEnder Hope you review that new Reeking Aura brother m/ s*** rips
|
| Dedes Damn brother new Immo DOES ****. Maybe not best since CTAWB but def since Unholy Cult, it's a fair bit like Acts of No God but with an even more sinister bite. Definitely the most properly angry I've heard Immo in a very long time lol
|
| bighubbabuddha I just found out you were suspended on RYM. I thought you had unfriended me, all good broski
|
| evilford It was good overall but felt pretty uninspired by immo standards
|
| Orb Hey man hope things are good! I figured I'd go out on a limb and share some of my mixes with you. I got a new one in the word but this trilogy is my flagship thus far. I also added myself on sput under Scryer (CAN) in case you feel rating them hahah. Anyways, if you like DnB, here ya go! on.soundcloud.com/wjbRYPOxaMfmym8Uc6
|
| bighubbabuddha Hopefully they aren't perma-banned, Sput would be poorer for it
|
| AlkemestRedux Oof getting hyped for this. New stuff from the dude behind Uada/Ceremonial Castings: https://serpentlordusa.bandcamp.com/album/the-once-forgotten-ways-of-old
|
| cylinder Yesterday was a beautiful day to be a bdm-head, bro. New Trichomoniasis, a split with them and Dysthymia, and new Ecchymosis all dropped :D
|
| bighubbabuddha For alas, I did not enjoy that album. It's kind of cool that they can replicate the songs live though
|
 | oltnabrick I was waiting until I was in a Keef mood haha
|
| Mongi123 Haha but it?ll be funny. Also glad we?re back from the dead
|
| Mongi123 Now I?m really interested in the new Lantlos lol seems Melted Sun without Neige was just a fluke.
|
 | Jmal00 Dusk and Valkyries. Not sure if dusk or cruelty is my favorite.
|
| Jmal00 CoF collection is up to 3 now. I fear there it shall remain.
|
| Jmal00 I purchased cruelty AND the beast on CD last weekend. Figured you should know.
|
 | Confessed2005 Do you have the power to promote users to contributor?I feel like I have contributed to this site a lot and been here a long time. I did make contributor status many years ago but one of the mods stripped me of my regal title lolGet back to me on this Hawks - love you brother.
|
| Rowhaus Band slays hard as fvck and would pair well with a good pint or two m/
|
| Rowhaus bruh check Human Serpent - For I, The Misanthropist
|
| AlkemestRedux Hell yeah it's fun! Getting pumped for the new Uada got me to finally start working on a Ceremonial Castings review. But holy moly is their discography confusing to understand with all the re-recordings, demos and EPs lol
|
| AlkemestRedux Just gonna leave this here for a good time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icANzfHmpYk
|
| Ectier Also check new Hanging Garden
|
| Ectier Thank you thank you, eye was the one i remember enjoying the most on firt dig through
|
| Ectier Ive done a neruosis record a day. Fires within fires and new one where yesterday, silver and blood today. Where should i go next ?
|
| Mongi123 New write up is live man in case you're interested.
|
| Rowhaus Yeah they're one of those Sput sacred cows I just don't get. Right there with Converge lmao
|
| Rowhaus Never been a fan and the new one didn't move the needle unfortunately. Checked it based on hype. Overlong snoozefest
|
| Rowhaus Resurrection and Impossibility of Reason slap ahrd as well broski m/
|
| Rowhaus Hawks checking out Chimaira lfg
|
 | random HAWKS! I have heard of Neurosis, and I?ve heard Neurosis, it I was just reconnected with them through a band photo of a Montreal Stoner Punk band called Grimskunk! One of their band members was wearing their T-shirt for the album ?Souls At Zero? in 2002!
|
| oltnabrick Oh s*** yah Ive heard that. Im really bad at rating stuff on here lmao. I fw it tho
|
 | SignumCorvi second long play dropped from melodic black metal band from Turkey scene, Archaeic, please check it out. https://archaeic.bandcamp.com/album/hades-gigas
|
| ShadowRemains ok those solos/leads in of smothering seas (gutvoid) are crazy good
|
| cylinder It?s so good!! What an amazing surprise!!
|
 | Deviant. It's appreciated man. Glad to see you're still around. And congrats on the promotion. You're churning out those writeups. Seems like you're the glue keeping this place active these days
|
 | nash1311 It?s next on my list whenever I can put down Poison the Well. But I saw the ratings chart haha
|
| Mongi123 Yea dude I can?t believe how good that was
|
| Mongi123 Holy hell with Aaron Turner?! I gotta listen asap lol
|
| Mongi123 Did neurosis just shadow drop a new album?
|
| Ectier The closing track of the new Gaerea is like sleep token done right lfmao.
|
| cylinder Hell yeah dude, that album ruled!!
|
| cylinder So happy you dug that one, man! That's a very important album for me - a milestone in my listening. Also that's funny about the Desecrated Extinction track haha but hey, glad you dug that one too! Can never have too much bdm m/
|
| AlkemestRedux New Cwlt Draig song has legit production and looks like they may be on a label now. All hail Welsh black metal! https://cwltdraig.bandcamp.com/track/scoundrel
