Is it really Prog these days if the whole album is just 38 minutes? 😜

Oh diese Refrains 🥰 … wie nennt man noch die Richtung, die MOL spielen? Post Black Metal? Auf diesem Album isses definitiv geil. Aber ich mag ja auch Alcest. #mol #PostBlack #MØL #Blackgaze

I tried Deafheaven's Lonely People with Power again. It's...fine I guess.
It is more 'black metal' than #MØL but not as interesting a black metal album as I've heard from #Saor, 1914 or Blut Aus Nord recently. It isn't bad by any means, but nothing grabbed me on the way through. The final track being a notable exception.
A definite 3/5 if I had a scoring system.

Well, it happened, I really, really like the band #MØL and the whole #blackgaze thing.
I should probably give Deafheaven another go. #music

Ashbringer – Subglacial Review By Lavender LarcenistWe here at AMG are impossible to please. Minnesota’s atmo-black four-piece Ashbringer have learned this the hard way. While we lavished praise across their discography, those who giveth can also taketh away. Ashbringer’s previous outing, We Came Here to Grieve, originally received glowing remarks. Unfortunately for them, resident shark and Ashbringer connoisseur, Carcharodon, decided, upon further reflection, that the clean singing on their previous outing brought the album to a screeching halt after time and distance brought clarity. So, as if in response, Ashbringer has returned with Subglacial, and there isn’t an ounce of clean singing to be found on the album, as it provides an incredibly stripped-back sound in comparison to their previous outings. I welcome artistic experimentation, but I frown upon the wholesale rejection of ideas due to criticism. So, does Subglacial herald a return to form? Creative stagnation? Or something in between altogether for these purveyors of atmospheric and heartfelt black metal?
For starters, Ashbringer went about creating Subglacial in a way I can wholeheartedly commend. Singer Nick Stanger and drummer Andy Meyer rented a house, brought the band in, and wrote, played, and recorded the entire album there. In Stanger’s own words, Ashbringer wanted to create a record that sounded as “us” as they possibly could while doing it in-house and spending no money; an admirable goal if I have ever heard one, and one that is apparent throughout the album. Subglacial is lean, especially compared to We Came Here to Grieve, but even in contrast to their earlier work. Scraping in at just under forty minutes, it makes for an incredibly tight piece that wastes no time. Stanger sticks to his trademark rasping growl, drumming is significantly less jazzy than on Absolution, and overall, it is heavier, hookier, and surprisingly free of auditory left-turns. Stanger and Jackson Catton’s guitarwork sticks to black metal staples: blistering tremolo riffs, cutting hooks, and atmospheric tangents. Subglacial is a no-frills, concise record where every element feels honed to be heavy, hooky, and emotive.
Subglacial is surprisingly predictable, with “Waning Conviction” being the only track that feels like it has shades of previous experimentation. Opening with ponderous acoustic strumming and laid-back drums, it builds for a while before lurching into a massive lead riff. Still, even this track feels tame (experimentally) compared to anything on We Came Here to Grieve. I agree that Stanger’s clean vocals needed work, but I don’t think the band should have thrown them out completely. Subglacial will likely be seen as a return to form for many, but I can’t help but lament what could have been. This is a record that feels incredibly safe for a band known for throwing out the rulebook. That isn’t to say Subglacial is bad; in fact, it is hard to find anything to complain about otherwise. The production is perfectly raw, keeping Stanger’s vocals fantastically legible while allowing for that atmo-black fuzz to creep in. It just shows you don’t need an expensive studio to record an album with wonderful sound. Every track feels essential, and this is a tight record in every sense of the word.
Subglacial is so concisely put together and so expertly played that it is hard to find flaws when looking at the whole. The opening track, “My Flesh Shows Its Weakness,” features everything you want from an Ashbringer song: atmospherics, a massive final riff, and the emotionality that the band is famous for. The guitar work on Subglacial is a standout, and every track has memorable riffs, monolithic hooks, or ass-kicking speed. Album standout “Send Him to the Lake” is an anthem, as Stanger screams “SEND HIM TO THE LAKE,” you can’t help but feel the conviction. The track features an ascending riff as a throughline, building and building, to an absolutely crushing crescendo, the atmo-black equivalent of an orgasm. Album closer “Vessels” mixes heaviness with the dreamy, ethereal sound of blackgaze alongside some head-spinning drumming from Meyer.
So, time for the part where I make you all upset. I loved the raw emotion, vulnerability, and sincerity of We Came Here to Grieve but Subglacial is too safe a step back. While the album is well-rounded, expertly played, and emotive, it lacks the audacity of their previous work. Ashbringer’s latest is no slouch, though, and while I thoroughly enjoyed their latest record, it didn’t quite blow me away like their previous work. Subglacial is as solid as ice, but time may chip at this berg to reveal something unremarkable when compared to Ashbringer’s larger output.

Today I have really enjoyed the new album by #MØL called DREAMCRUSH. https://open.qobuz.com/album/xwf9nkfvu59fc
The previous album, Diorama is also very good. So good that I have the CD on order. #music #blackgaze

This was a good read. See URL for tl;dr.
I bought a #FuzzHugger #Doom Bloom back in 2017-2018. It was the second pedal I ever bought behind the much recommended #RolandBoss MT-2 about a decade prior. It's still one of the best #fuzzPedals I ever heard.

On that note, Diorama is a really pleasant album.
I still find the really poppy music with black metal screams a bit jarring, but it is growing on me.

I wasn't sure about #MØL when I first heard them, as has been the case for #blackgaze in general (Snow Patrol with screaming), but with fresh ears the new singles are pretty good.
New album out at the end of January apparently. #music

Gestern war das #Skaldenfest in der immer noch lebenden Posthalle in #Würzburg, das musikalisch den dringend benötigten Ausgleich zur Tags zuvor überlebten betrieblichen Weihnachtsfeier darstellte.
Ein super Billing u.a mit #Disillusion, #CountlessSkies, #DerWegEinerFreiheit und meinem Überraschungshighlight: #Sylvaine. Sie hat mich mit ihrer Band und den dargebotenen #blackgaze Soundwänden durchdrungen von ihrem kathartischen Heulen echt in den Bann gezogen. Völlig unerwartet grandios.
Folk Metal ist eigentlich nicht meine Baustelle, aber #Ūkanose aus Lithauen hatten so viel Spaß auf der Bühne, dass man sich der Freude eigentlich nicht entziehen konnte.

Aujourd'hui sur Blog à part – Asira: As Ink in Water
J’ai découvert il y a quelques temps que je n’étais pas le seul prog-head à apprécier le black-metal. Mais Asira mélange carrément les deux genres dans As Ink in Water.

UNREQVITED – Beautiful Ghosts (2021, Canada)
Our next spotlight is on number 187 on The List, submitted by HauntedOwlbear.
While this one-person project from Billy Melsness aka 鬼 started out as atmospheric/depressive black metal, by the time we get to this, the 6th UNREQVITED album, we’re pretty much firmly in post-rock territory, albeit blackgaze-flavoured. Hints of the project’s black metal beginnings are essentially only heard in Melsness’ wordless, incorporeal screams interspersed throughout the otherwise instrumental – and, dare I say, uplifting (or, vplifting?) – album. The metal (or, at least, post-metal) sounds return in full force in the following album, A Pathway to the Moon (2025), but this is a really beautiful stop in the UNREQVITED discography. And, seeing as the Chinese character Melsness has chosen as his stage name can mean “ghost”, it was perhaps inevitable that we would get an album with that word in the title.
