im genuinely going insane over tom cardys new song level clear, adding it to my list of songs to analyse as if i were in music class

[bird-goofle]

If I had a nickel for every time I put on an album by a band, let the album play through, and then got blessed with auto play handing me the lead singer’s voice from their time with an older band, I’d have two nickels. Both times from within the last year.

I always say "I don't have a favorite genre" because I have songs I like and even artists I like in pretty much every genre but the truth is that some genres have to convince me and some genres are post-punk, prog metal or futurepop and all an artist has to do to get me hooked is be that

Excuse me while I musicpost for a bit. I will preface this rant with a couple notes of interest.

1) I fucking LOVE metal. More than that, I love extreme music. Inaccessible music. Stuff that's hard to listen to, not because it's bad, but because it's abrasive on a sonic level.

2) This is just me yelling into the void, and most of this rant (review?? Idk) is pulled from a discussion I had with a friend. As such these are more or less just unfiltered thoughts that I texted him at 1am. They have been edited for grammar and readability.

3) I'm an opinionated asshole, and I care deeply about art. Specifically music. Very sorry in advance.

All that said, here is my first public music rant, about the recently released album titled "Absolute Elsewhere" by Blood Incantation. I have not been a fan of Blood Incantation, I did not like HHOTHR and I did not like Starspawn. I haven't bothered to listen to their other projects. Now, they just released a new album this year, and it's supposed to be really cool, they're shaking it up a bit. It comes highly reccomended from all my friends who know I don't like Blood Incant, and for good reason.

It's a collaboration with the electronic masterminds behind Tangerine Dream, who are a really cool proggy psyche kinda band from the 70's. Which is kind of a wild collaboration? Like what do you mean modern mid ass (opinion) tech death band collaborating with one of the progenitors of german new age/kosmiche?

That sounds like a cool idea, and it is. I'll bite.

But listening to the actual album just makes me feel like a huge fucking asshole, because the death metal part of this death metal album is just fucking boring. Like. How can it be boring?? You get the collab opportunity of your LIVES and you just write boring ass riffs?? AND THE WORST PART IS THAT THE SYNTH PASSAGES ARE GENUINELY INCREDIBLE.

When they pull it together and the synths layer over the clean guitars and they drop some sick ass death metal drumming underneath it? Marvelous. Beautiful. Ingenious. I feel like I'm levitating.

And then the riffs start. Bam. One way ticket to fucking snoozetown. It's just very boring. Nothing particularly notable, they're performed well and the production is great, but there's just nothing there on a musical level that is genuinely interesting. They're just the same old regurgitated death metal riffs that we've all been playing for the past 30 years. There's a reason I don't listen to Blood Incant, and it's because I expect more from the musicians I love. I try to live up to that expectation in my own works, and I don't listen to musicians who don't meet that (arbitrary) bar. So when a band tries really hard to create something cool - as Blood Incantation has on this album - but fails to meet the mark for a very critical part of their album, it is upsetting to me.

Again, the death metal on this death metal album is boring. Couldn't they come up with better riffs? I refuse to believe this is all they've got, they're good musicians. More than that, they're good artists, and if this album had held up to its own standard, it would actually be incredible. Maybe album of the year for me.

The album would genuinely be a masterpiece if they got rid of like a solid 75% of the death metal from their death metal album. Which makes me sad. I love death metal, but they dropped the ball here. How did they let this happen? The record SHINES during clean sections. It's like it wants to be two separate projects. One transcendental electronic ambient piece, the other being possibly the most boring technical death metal I've heard in years.

But in spite of all this, I genuinely reccomend sitting down and giving it a listen, because oh man do the clean passages just fucking SING man. Notable exceptions to the mid riffs are at the end of the second song and around 4 minutes in the last song, those are cool. I enjoy those, but none of the riffs are cooler than anything on any Cannibal Corpse (closest comparison I could come up with at 1am) album. Who do in fact have cool riffs, it's just that after 30 years, their bit is growing stale.

So yeah I highly recommend listening to Absolute Elsewhere by Blood Incantation exactly ONE (1) time. Very sorry if I trashed on your album of the year but I just really didn't enjoy the death metal bits of this death metal album, and I felt like sharing my thoughts. For what it's worth, I really wanted to love this album. I've already said that the clean sections are amazing but it's worth saying again, because they really are very good.

since viper turned out to be a freaking insane predator/kidnapper can i please steal the song "hey, maybe one day you'll see me again"?? because i deserve it, it's my song. it hits different. i was going to send this song off as an uh, goodbye note (long long past that i promise). like i don't know, this is unexplainable with the context of the rest of his strange existence, but i think it's also the exact reason this song hits the way it does.
