Agriculture - Agriculture Well here it is! The long awaited first release from the LA based black metal project Agriculture. Agriculture has been building up steam from pre-release reviews and commendations from metal blogs, critics, magazines, the whole lot. This album, at least in my circles, had a lot of hype. Even had a whole meme associated with the band: "I love the spiritual sound of ecstatic black metal by the band Agriculture" and it's pretty good! First off, a lot of black metal fans will shit on anything blackgaze-esc. Anything that even has the smallest whiff of Deafheaven or Liturgy is considered "Not Kvlt" or "poser shit" and frankly a lot of those people think that way because they're more invested in the aesthetic of music, how it makes them look to others, how it makes them feel, then they are about pushing forward the genre. Listening to the same four Norwegian black metal bands from the 90's isn't KVLT. Listening to endless repeats of the same tired BM tropes just reminds me of a Satanic version of Greta Van Fleet, and that is an ATROCIOUS thing to be similar to. Not too mention, all too often, these "TRUE BLACK METAL KVLT BANDS" are just Nazi Black Metal. From Burzum to Deathspell Omega. It's just Nazi shit. Agriculture on the other hand really dives deep into the blackgaze genre. Really pushing against what people expect when they turn on a black metal album. There is an interlude that is just a man singing over guitars. There are trumpet and jazz-esc sections. I mean there's still a shit ton of tremelo picking and high pitched screaming but it's black metal you know. There are definitely moments where it all works and it all felt so incredibly epic. Those emotional highs that I got listening to Liturgy or Deafheaven, but, at least on the first listen, I came away thinking "Yup. Kinda what I thought it would be." Not that that's a bad thing just, I wasn't blown away. The instrumentation was good, the singing was good, just... maybe it just didn't click for me. I'm excited to give it another listen and see if maybe I'll pick up on more nuances in a different context or mood. If so maybe I'll revisit my thoughts. But for now I think it's fine. If you really like this kinda music you'll absolutely love this, but for me, I'll probably just listen to some more liturgy.

In my dreams

I stare out in the distance of the city scene

From way up here it’s so serene

There’s nothing said

As I make myself more comfortable with the edge

I leap into the darkest night

Wind on my face, it satisfies

I never have felt so alive

And in my dreams I fly away.

Analyzing this complex avant-garde album certainly isn't an easy task. It's a carefully organized piece of art, fusing elements of post-black metal, electronic, psychedelic rock, industrial, and even classical and new-age music. It's hard to characterize this album with a single genre tag - which makes it all the more interesting to study and listen to..

Effluence - Psychocephalic Spawning This is one of the most interesting Avant-Garde Metal Albums I have ever heard. For one this record is incredibly fucking brutal. So many Avant-Garde metal albums seems to take the route of "What if Metal but not brutal??" And i hate it. I love experimentation and obviously I respect anyone's artistic vision if it is what excites them and motivates them to make art. Art doesn't have to be violent or brutal to be good, but let's be real. There is a reason we are the kinds of people who are attracted to this shit and it isn't always because we enjoy complex guitar playing. There is a certain importance to the aesthetic. The vibe. And this album has it in spades. SO First Off, the mother fucking vocals. I don't know how people make this insect sounding guttural growl that sounds like an insane clicking almost Marimba or Xylophone like sound to it but mixed with a mutant. I have no idea but it is one of my favorite styles of metal vocals simply because it sounds fucking inhuman and insane. I want to learn about this, so can someone please teach me how to do it???? On top of that the guitar playing is just... fucking insane. Impossibly fast, complex. Perfectly technically executed. Perfectly mastered. Just fucking amazing how well they integrated these guitars into all the other instruments. And I do mean all the other instruments. On top of some amazing drum playing, and some bass playing that is just as impressive and insane as the guitar playing, to my ear, there is a saxophone, flute, some kind of xylophone like instrument, synths, samples, Harsh noise samples, and all sorts of stuff. If you ever need proof that flute playing can be brutal as fuck please just listen to the sound Devouring Gray Matter, because it will convince you the instant you hear the flute start to pop off. Essentially, this is one of, if not the most innovative death metal album I've heard, and I can't wait to hear what this band is going to do next. Fucking absolute freaks. I love it.

And when you're quite satisfied with your AOTY list, these High Priests of Occultism decide to launch their new album in late December. It's so intricate, that it will take quite a few listens to make real sense of it. It won't appear on any magazines (web or paper) as AOTY, because of the schedules and deadlines (I've been there), but it's fuckin' brilliant and a major opus in Abigor's body of work. Hail the Mighty Abigor! Hail Lucifer!
