Yes that is my personal opinion on the matter too… And I am not really into the parts with the voice that sound a bit too much like Deftones (to me), a bit too emo / screamo for my taste, but the heavy parts are really good, with those super heavy weird rhythms packed like sardines in a 1000 pounds box going downhill at 100 m/h, and also slow at the same time, or something like that. I love it.

Right around 3:30, just after he says “I am the Intercessor” but before he turns into stage-costume Thor, is where my old VHS bootleg of this cut off, so I always knew this was a good movie but for years I didn’t know just how good it really was.
Funny how Thor’s career outlasted a lot of more respectable 80s metal musicians in the end.

I was on a sci-fi death metal kick for a while and one of my favourite discoveries was Hellwitch

Its 5 years old, but the song Pagan, Pt 2 and the band Vitalism is new to me as of this morning.
Really really great, and the solo goes off in the best way.
This is described as “tech slam” and whatever it is I love it. Lots of big chunky riffs you can bang your head to, mixed with some interesting change ups and flourishes to give it variety.

I was looking up that “intro to meshuggah’s style” video and saw that this guy is working on his PhD in metal! Analyzing tactus transformations! He shows off a bunch of cool examples with dillinger and car bomb. He’s putting language to why between the buried and me blows my mind every time I see them live. He’s made a bunch of other riff analyses for other extreme metal bands too. It’s so cool to see an academic breakdown of technical death metal.
Edit: oh my god he even wrote a paper on car bomb, I’m such a fan

I’ve recently fallen into a dark spiky pit of releases from Old Nick and the associated artists putting out albums on Grime Stone Records. It’s a lovely terrible pit and I don’t want to ever crawl out.
After a time I found the pit was a distorted dungeon maze of corridors linking between black metal, punk, and dungeon synth all mixed with a very irreverent and silly sense of uninhibited creative expression.
Love when metal doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Some of my favs:
Curta’n Wall - Crocodile Moat!!!
Old Nick - Crisp Winter Dawn of My Night Moon
