What about spring, the least metal of all the seasons but progenitor of 'April Ethereal'?

Not heard the new one yet - saving it.

Strange gig as many punters sat or laid down a la Terry, N. at SunnO)))...

Y'know one of my favourite Skepticism releases is the 'Process of Farmakon' EP which has this massive, kinda wheezing iron lung sound that's really unique. A whole Skepticism album can be a bit of a slog - a 'time and a place' band.

@nickmoberly Hah, IIRC the arrangement was that I would make myself easy to find by wearing my LMI longsleeve, only to arrive and discover that virtually everyone there had the same shirt and I was the 4,287th person you had asked 'are you Harry?' that evening. Like a bad metal sitcom scene.

@nickmoberly Tangled with despair, this ghastly symphony of malice... brains are weird, aren't they? Someone should look into that.

I seem to remember doom having a resurgence around this time, or at least perceiving it that way. Three excellent albums here and one (Lord Vicar) I don't recall hearing. Homework beckons

@nickmoberly @AsgardRoot I happened to be in the town he works in and happened to walk right by the record shop, where he was coincidentally manning the till at that moment. Bought myself a Christmas present ;)

@nickmoberly Likewise Nick! Incredibly I bumped into @AsgardRoot a couple of weeks ago & we agreed the Moberley Polls were the best thing still left on Twitter. Haven't heard any of these, had completely given up on this genre then (altho judging by my kids' tastes, it only became stronger)
