a pleasant slumber
Hey there, happy Friday. I got back home late last night after a short out-of-town trip for my fucking day job. I didn’t write anything to post this morning before crawling into bed and sleeping like a dead man. By coincidence, none of our other regular writers sent me anything last night or this morning. So, basically, I got nothing right now.
I do have a very nice album premiere planned for today, but I haven’t finished writing it yet. In the meantime, rather than just have the site sit here with nothing on it except yesterday’s posts (as good as those are), I thought I’d try something out for a change — basically, the idea is to see if you’ll do my work for me.
One thing I haven’t managed to do this week is put together a round-up of new songs and videos. So, what I’d like to propose is this:
If you have discovered a new song you like from a forthcoming album that emerged over the last 7-10 days, or a recommended new EP or album that came out during the last 7-10 days that’s streaming someplace, please leave a comment and put a link to the music in the comment. That way, other people who visit this post can maybe discover some new music until I get my shit together today.
Please?

The new Blasphemic Cruelty EP! 🙂

This is way older than seven days but I don’t ever plug my own stuff in the NCS comments and figured I would do it just this once; there is a 17 track deluxe version of my last album on sale for only $6.66 on Bandcamp 🙂

I sent this to you a while ago via email (seams like you didn’t get around to it, no worries):
Eschatos from Estonia: https://eschatoslv.bandcamp.com/album/hierophanies
second
M.H.X’s Chronicles from Brazil: https://mhxschronicles.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-ocean
I did get the e-mail, which I appreciate, and haven’t forgotten about them. Just really fucking far behind, as usual. 🙂
Fair enough then ; )
Correction Latvia not Estonia!!!!!!
They also released a pretty killer new record this year:
https://eschatoslv.bandcamp.com/album/the-grand-noir
You should really check them out.
This doesn’t help immediately, but my review of Hope Drone’s new one will be going up sometime today on metalbandcamp.
I’m kicking myself for not having listened to that yet.
And it’s up:
http://metalbandcamp.com/2015/07/hope-drone-cloak-of-ash.html?m=1
Gave it a listen a few days ago. I really like where they’re going, but this album was about 10-15 minutes too long for me. Kinda how I felt about the newest Machine Head album (not that they have anything else in common with Hope Drone).
New tech death EP from Spokane’s Serpentspire. https://serpentspire.bandcamp.com/releases
Have been slowly working on a review for this for one of my sifting articles. Article got a little out of control and is up to five bands.
You? Out of control at the keyboard? No way!!!
Three re-enactments of ‘I know, right? This is my shocked face’

This isn’t exactly NCS wheelhouse, but the new track from Wild Throne kicks all of the asses. Unhinged, passionate, technical prog-rock that never fails to surprise. It’s not metal, but it’s the kind of rock that metal fans like. New album in October.
http://noisey.vice.com/blog/wild-throne-new-video-harvest-of-darkness
Big fan of that Wild Throne track. Psyched to catch their tour with Red Fang and Whores in the fall.
Dreadnought. Again, not the most metal suggestion, but I have seen at least one NCS contributor mention Maeth before, and if Maeth is game, so is Dreadnought. Etheral post-metal with strings, flute and the occasional crunch of bones. Released a preview track from their new album last week on Heavy Blog. All eleven minutes of “Bridging Realms” are captivating. Word on the new record is strong.

Ahab has something new. They’re a far cry from the hopeless, trudging, wretched funeral doom they started with on Call of the Wretched Sea, but they’re still pretty good
https://youtu.be/dhUwUBJz9ik
And also Myrkur posted few new songs, which kick ass
https://myrkur.bandcamp.com/album/m
New Ahab had a few questionable vocal moments for me, but the riffs are goddamn titanic. And that new Myrkur, particularly Skogen Skulle Do, is piquing my interest in them again – I never got around to giving the EP a full spin, but I might have to do that, along with giving the album a perusal once it’s out.
Agonia just announced De Praestigiis Angelorum, the debut release of a band called VI, which features current and ex members of Aosoth and Antaeus. I love both of those bands, and the sample track kicks ass:

Been meaning to post about this since the day I saw it — and this weekend I will!
Not really new music, but might be noteworthy to mention that a Mr. Jon Chang (discordance axis, gridlink, hayano daisuki (sp) has suggested ‘ a return from retirement to a couple of limited engagements. ‘ Again, no posted music, but may be worth keeping an ear open for. https://m.facebook.com/GridLink512?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FGridLink512
Uneven Structure released a new song from the upcoming album:
http://music.basickrecords.com/album/funambule
So far, it’s left me a little nervous… not feeling it like the glory that was Februus
And a few weeks back now, but Mechina released a teaser, which arguably is more like a movie teaser than anything to do with an album:
