if you're in NY you would be a fool not to be at this tonight.
I wish. I've been listening to a lot of House of First Light these last few days. Everything from them is great.

absolutely. One of my favorite entities in black metal right now, and they're barely starting. Psychic Violence stated that Sanguine Eagle already have several albums' worth of material ready to be recorded. I was just like, what.I wish. I've been listening to a lot of House of First Light these last few days. Everything from them is great.
Altarage has a new album coming out soon. New song streaming now: https://altarage.bandcamp.com/album/endinghent
On mobile but Ne Obliviscaris and Allegaeon just announced a USA/Canada tour.
Tour dates on their Facebook.
In for New Orleans
A lot of good recommendations by others already that I agree with, but you may also like "Au Champ Des Morts" which is a band I recommended earlier this year in this thread and "Year of No Light", both are also French bands. The latter is kind of a fusion of stuff, there's definitely some blackgaze tracks but they're really post-metal but I recommend checking out both.

Year of No Light (it's not every day you see two drummers). Not a blackened track but it's one of my favourites from the band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0VuOfvYpko&t=3m8s This one is more blackened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdeJ_ylcVf0
And yeah I'd say blackgaze is the correct genre - some people say "blackened shoegaze" but it 's the same thing, Alcest being the quintessential example of blackgaze. There's a bit of cross over of atmospheric black metal and blackgaze because some bands do a fusion of it with some tracks/albums. You may also want to explore all the genres that are "blackened" like "blackened doom" if you're a doom metal fan. The thing with "atmospheric black metal" can be confusing because a lot of black metal tries to invoke atmosphere with how instruments are sometimes overlayed and how a lot of vocals aren't even supposed to be audible to "listen to" but part of the atmosphere, however some bands are very distinct with its themes of atmosphere, like using nature or bands like Summoning with Tolkien themes. I'd say black metal that invokes traditional satanism themes is what one can differentiate from atmospheric black metal, so bands like Bathory, Gorgoroth, Behemoth (early) are not what I'd call atmospheric for example but for example some of Agalloch's albums, Wolves in the Throne Room, Summoning are what I'd call atmospheric black metal.
Flying up to Atlanta for ProgPower in the morning. Pretty excited to see some of these bands, especially Serenity, Angel Dust, Haken, and Myrath. The list of bands is pretty stellar overall though. Anyone else going?
Yea saw this, wish I could go, saw Allegaeon earlier this year and enjoyed it. Alas it requires traveling and I'm out of vacation for the year. Don't know Ne Obliviscatis, any recommendations?
Saw Haken this past weekend and it was awesome. Played "the architect" as their last song, it was good but I really wanted to see them play visions... and they did. Best encore ever.
Also, are you seeing BTBAM or not?
Haken will be doing the entire Visions album during their set, as well as a few other songs.
I'm not super into BTBAM, but I've heard they put on a good show. We'll stay for at least part of it. Have no interest in Metal Church headlining that night, so that would be the one day that we leave early.
Between the Buried and Me are done with their new album!
WINGS OF METAL TONIGHT RAHHHHH
A cool article/interview about my friend, who's the organiser: http://www.sorstu.ca/wings-of-metal-2017-rencontre-avec-annick-giroux-lexperience-unique-et-ultime/

Is it like that single that came out a month or so ago? Because that one was really boring. And I say this as a big fan of Alissa and War Eternal.the new Arch Enemy album is lit

But, there might be successors...
FWIW, its successor is all but guaranteed to haveDamn. First Chez Boris and now this.

Has anyone checked out the new Anubis Gate?
I love the guys, but their new one isn't on Spotify. I'm wondering if it's worth a digital purchase, but I haven't bought an album in years. The whole concept of paying for music beyond my monthly spotify fee feels like such a relic of the past!
Still, I'm very tempted...
Was actually wondering the same thing since it's not on GPM.
Alright brotha, I took the $9.99 hit and bought it (I'm drunk and talked myself into it)
For context, my two favorite AG albums are their self-titled and Andromeda Unchained. I also really adore the first half of Horizons, but think it falls apart during the final few songs.
If our tastes align and my input would be helpful, I can let you know my thoughts after a few spins m/
Shit no. Talking about Pagan Altar reborn at WingsAre talking about Timelord?
That must have been pretty powerful. Who did they have on vocals?Shit no. Talking about Pagan Altar reborn at Wings
Absolutely wonderful performance, I might have shed a tear even
This talented dudeThat must have been pretty powerful. Who did they have on vocals?
Oh, right on. I love Magic Circle. No Terry Jones, obviously, but I can really see that working.

Shortly after leaving the tour bus and driving away, at 12:43 p.m., the friend was pulled over on North Washington Street near West Boone Avenue on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to court documents.
In the back seat of a patrol car, the friend was allowed to use her cellphone to call the other woman, who reported the rape. A state trooper said he couldnt help without a specific location and proceeded with his DUI investigation.
