Wink Wink 2011 - A bit of a change this year
David_Dovey:
I like the cover! Agree with you on the split opinions about the songs. I really do hope I enjoy it but uh honestly I'm not confident. Here goes nothin'.
FloridaRotisserie:
Hello.
So, long-time-lurker, first time poster. Hopefully none of this has been posted before/won't be overly offensive to your ears.
AJJ - Only God Can Judge Me

--- End code ---
Rosa - I, Mississippi, You
--- Code: ---http://www.m/f.com/?u4c9vg82qzvuz5d
--- End code ---
DIY folk-punk from the lovely people at plan-it-x.
Withered Hand - Good News
--- Code: ---http://www.m/f.com/?xlor0ig7frno0e5
--- End code ---
[Insert every positive adjective here] music from a miserable, bedroom-dwelling, Scottish man. So, a bit like Malcolm Middleton, but less cheery/more acoustic-y. DL this, because it is all good things.
Withered Hand - You're Not Alone [EP]

Hopefully there's no html fail.
FloridaRotisserie:
ALSO, to whoever posted the Brendan Murray a while ago. I really, really enjoyed that. Thank you!
ellis:
In honor of Trish Keenan's passing I will post the first couple Broadcast full lengths.
Broadcast - Work and Non-Work (collection of early EPs)

Broadcast - The Noise Made by People (First Album)

--- End code ---
might post some more stuff later. I was really sad to hear of her passing, very young and I loved the last album, the last compilation and their collaboration with the Focus Group so much and was looking forward to whatever they would do next. R.I.P.

megapost hoooooo
NOW That's What I Call Beard Metal 2010
A collection of my favouritest albums of 2010 that can be humorously grouped together as "Beard Metal" or "Hipster Metal", or if you're not a dick, "really fucking good music".
There are some pretty notable exclusions from this upload, and that is because those albums I actually got from this thread (or the 2010 version of it, at any rate) and they should still be available if you want to search for them. I strongly recommend the following 2010 releases which other people have uploaded:
Alcest- Ecailles de Lune
Black Breath- Heavy Breathing
Darkthrone- Circle the Wagons
Austerity Program- Backsliders and Apostates Will Burn
Electric Wizard- Black Masses
Agalloch- Marrow of the Spirit
Salome- Terminal
Now onto the uploads
Ihsahn- After V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?3919vi6xyw1izsi
--- End code ---
Solo album from former Emperor frontman. Features some truly righteous saxophone skronking from one of the members of Norwegian band Shining, whose Blackjazz album was released last year, and I believe may be in the old MF thread somewhere.
Mouth of the Architect- The Violence Beneath V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?24jjfi6nt2s2s1k
--- End code ---
Worth the price of admission alone for the heavy-and-epic-and-extremely-pretty cover of Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes". [Youtube]
Kylesa- Spiral Shadow 128kbps
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?bcbsm74uzws97dx
--- End code ---
Probably Kylesa's best album yet, melding the anthemic shoutalongs of Time Will Fuse It's Worth with the winding digression and psychedelia of Static Tensions, and some honest-to-god actual songcraft thrown in to boot!
Nachtmystium- Addicts: Black Meddle pt. II V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?lbwdxxbmvim6cu2
--- End code ---
Largely in here because it's probably the most controversial and polarising metal release of 2010, former USBM wunderkid Blake Judd introduces pop, indie rock and even disco elements into the usual misanthropic blast-and-drone milieu of previous Nachtmystium releases. Certainly a daring and deliberately provocative album, opinion seems keenly split on whether it actually works, or if Judd is just, like, a fucking gay poser bitch and totally not tr00.
Haarp- The Filth V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?r04l794zirbt5cf
--- End code ---
Murderously heavy New Orleans sludge with some death metal elements thrown in too. Haarp's real secret weapon is their singer Shaun Emmons, who manages to have extraordinary diction and clarity while growling and screaming and generally fucking himself up. Meaning, you can understand what the guy says, and what he's saying is generally very fucked up. These guys are on Phil Anselmo's new Housecore Records label, if that kind of thing interests you.
Nails- Unsilent Death 320kbps
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?rw9ov1bsbo8m8em
--- End code ---
Exhibit A in evidence of the new Southern Lord paradigm. People were going ape-poopy over this in the Hardcore thread a little while back, and with good reason. They said it pretty well, so I might just quote them:
--- Quote ---Oh hells yes.
Nails are some angry, angry young men. I love it.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---Holy shit. It's like being hit by a train carrying 10 tons of awesome.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---pretty much, yeah, only the driver is screaming at you too.
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---just listened to the 30sec samples on amazon and felt like i'd been kicked in the face by a mountain. totally buying this album!
--- End quote ---
--- Quote ---It's only 14 minutes, but it's 14 minutes of OH SHIT FUCK HELL YEAH
--- End quote ---
You should probably already have this record. If you don't, now you've got no fuckin' excuse.
Ludicra- The Tenant V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?1ys2kks6egxuygv
--- End code ---
Sort of the dark horse of 2010, it didn't seem that a great many people were aware of this record, but those that were (myself included) couldn't shut up about it. Further proof that USBM is owning people's shit right now. Features John Cobbett from Hammers of Misfortune and Aesop Dekker who is now playing drums for Agalloch as well as running the legendary Cosmic Hearse blog.
Kvelertak- Kvelertak 320kbps
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?ov6na1x4d94fana
--- End code ---
KVELERTAK KVELERTAK KVELERTAK KVELERTAK KVELERTAK . Probably my favourite metal album of last year, and as such I guess my de facto #1 album of 2010. Guaranteed to get the party started.
East of the Wall- Ressentiment V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?h9dkws8j17h1ezq
--- End code ---
Another album that didn't get an awful lot of attention, but was roundly championed wherever it was discovered. Unites the disparate and warring factions of the beardocracy by featuring both sludge and grit and hardcore as well as technicality and meandering instrumentals. Produced by Kurt Ballou of Converge, which also seems to be a good way to ensure cross-beard appeal.
The Ocean- Heliocentric and Anthropocentric
Heliocentric: (192kbps)
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?uh1ffursp0438jr
--- End code ---
Anthropocentric: (V0-VBR)
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?44rb1kd139dr43b
--- End code ---
Trans-national prog-metal collective with forever-changing lineup releases two albums dealing exclusively in Dawkins-style criticism of religion and faith in general. Of course the nerds ate this up. Don't panic, there's some nice riffs in there as well.
Trap Them- Filth Rations V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?n5smnvjs4z5neqg
--- End code ---
Exhibit B in evidence of the new Southern Lord paradigm. More angry young men playing crusty thrash, more overtly techy and weedly than Nails, but still filthy and nasty as fuck.
Howl- Full of Hell 320kbps
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?4fzac8fnkcnsjp4
--- End code ---
LOOK AT THAT ALBUM COVER. LOOK AT IT. YOU WANT THIS.
What's that? The music? Oh. Yeah, it's more incredibly pissed off doom-sludge. What's up.
Intronaut- Valley of Smoke V0-VBR
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?4bzsh8c8844r9ct
--- End code ---
Unanimously voted the best album to get stoned and listen to in 2010, if that's your kind of thing. Honestly, listen to this sober sometimes too kids, otherwise you'll be missing out on a lot of what is going on beneath the pound and crash. Intronaut are masters of labyrinthine interplay between all four of the band's instrumentalists, and one of the few bands where the professed diversity of influences mentioned in interviews actually shows in the music the band produces.
Dawnbringer- Nucleus 320kbps
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?9624szruultbpak
--- End code ---
Downloaded this myself based solely on the enthusiasm (and #1 of the year rating) of my personal favourite metal journalist Cosmo Lee at Invisible Oranges (interview with Chris Black from Dawnbringer on I.O. here). Smart, ambitious, diverse, unclassifiable metal that is yet still a joy to listen to in the way that a lot of great and dumb classic metal (read: Judas Priest or like, Manowar even) is. Impeccably produced, chock full of awesome, awesome guitar solos (remember guitar solos guys?) and damn near impossible to ignore.
