Seriously how are more people not listening to this band? Full record hasn't even been released yet and based on 3 songs it's a genuine AOTY contender for me. If you like slow plodding dirges and ethereal/shoegazey vocals and guitars then listen to this shit:

My band recorded some tunes earlier this year and we’ve got an album coming out in a few weeks. I suck at genres but we fall somewhere in the sludge/doom camp with maybe some groove elements as well. It’s kind of a mixed bag honestly. There’s another thread on the band in the Release sub-forum.
The full album is out today and streaming in all the usual places.

New High on Fire too. Haven't listened to Behemoth yet but it's on my list for today.

Definitely plan on listening to both of those, though I expect the new HOF to be more of the same. They really need to bring back Steve Albini.

Didn’t they only do one album with him though?
Both of those are good. Behemoth’s is different for them but the singles they put out are a lot weaker than the album tracks. High on Fire is High on Fire, shit bangs

Yes, and it’s their only great album.

okay maybe I'm underestimating the new HOF album because the opener is ripping my fucking face off

Sanctioned Annihilation is definitely my favorite from the new album. Shit bangs.
2018 is the year of Matt Pike guitar riffs between this and the Sleep album.

I Loved You at Your Darkest is kind of boring. “God = Dog” and “Sabbath Mater” are the only songs I can see myself returning to. By the last few tracks, I found myself thinking, “Is this thing still going?”
I feel like this is Gojira’a L’enfant sauvage and Septicflesh’s Codex Omega all over again - a metal band whose last few albums I absolutely love who then releases a new record that sounds recognizably like their previous output but without all the memorable songs and musical touches that made me love that stuff. Too bad.

I like "Wolves ov Siberia" and "Bartzabel" as well, but yeah about half of the songs do very little for me.

Title track on Electric Messiah is awesome. Pike’s vocals are in top form.

Yeah, this album is killer, if perhaps a bit samey and overlong. In other words, it’s definitely a High on Fire album, all right.
