Mammoth Volume A Single Book Of Songs

Wait for the new one, it should come out this year... Or there's the pre-Electric Wizard, has anyone heard it?

Always impeccable, Bartle. I've heard some of Di Franco's work (I couldn't tell you what) that didn't impress me at all. Same old matter of tastes. Do you know Lisa Germano?
Converge You Fail Me

I wouldn't call it post-hardcore. Rather post-metal, or metal-core. Anyway, I've always found Neurosis and other devastating monolithic bands to be a bit too heavy. It's a matter of taste. In any case, long live noise!

Here’s a trio of fresh samples for you. A greeting and thanks also to the other visitors (Antmo, francescobus, kosmo, senmayan, and ghemison). @ghemison: I’m downloading it now, I’ll let you know later (dang, I couldn't find it because I was writing amakassoul...). @francescobus: superbossanova has nothing to do with the sound of Spiritual Beggars :) @senmayan: messy rock is fine, but pretentious indie-avantgarde is also good. And so is intellectual rock. The important thing is not to get stuck in one place. A heartfelt "Haloah"

Orwell, swimard, Bartleboom, pretazzo, thank you very much. @Dt.Fottermeier: this first homonymous album, in my opinion, throws quite a few curveballs at both "Mantra III" and "Ad Astra" (the only other two I've listened to). It's dirtier, rougher, more 'gnurante, more stinky. Those two albums will see them maturing (to put it lightly) and they will exhibit a certain technical and compositional development, a cleaner sound (again, to put it lightly) and more focused, nastier. More metallic. The first remains the imperfect and drugged one. The more stoner one, if you will. @ghemison: tell me the album so I can send my trusted pigeon flying.

I'll skip these. Otherwise, I'll end up buying the entire Rise Above Records catalog, which I don't think is worth it :) Hey, the Spiritual Beggars, they're awesome!
Satan Court in the Act
Voto:
Look, I'm not a big metal listener, but I follow your reviews to open myself up to a genre that otherwise I wouldn’t engage with (psychostonerdoom aside). I liked Trouble (though I prefer the later Trouble '90 and Manic Frustration), Witchfinder General for the title track, Angel Witch was so-so (the vocals are a bit off for me), the Thought Industry are really heavy, and I still need to properly listen to the others. To get my metal stuff, I usually check out Metalmadness.org where they have a section of high-quality eDonkey links (usually FLAC or APE). This one by Satan isn't there :'(

You suggest, I follow. After the Trouble, the Witchfinder General, the Angel Witch, the Artillery, the Coroner, the Manilla Road, and the Thought Industry, I’ll also get these Satan. And let’s keep the metal story going.
