“I got a deaf brother. I got a brother that can’t hear or talk. So I wanna act deaf for a year, so I ain’t gonna put out any any new music this year. 2019, I’ma put out probably [the long-teased album] Hy!£UN35.”
I have a feeling you will dig Arkheth's 12 Winter Moons Comes the Witches Brew then. Experimental black metal out Tuesday. "Black metal" is a bit of a misnomer. It's very colorful.
That U.S. Girls is really good too.
Ok cool list but also check this one out from little-known Swedish progsters Trad Gras och Stenar cuz it fuggin' rules:

I have started to come around on Harakiri For The Sky and am looking forward to it as well. Seems as though they've dirtied things up a bit, which is nice.
But the album I'm REALLY hyped about is this utterly bizarre slice of experimental black metal from one-man Australian band Arkheth, 12 Winter Moons Comes the Witches Brew that comes out Tuesday 2/20. Black metal is a misnomer since that's just the foundation. It's one of the more colorful releases to ever come with that tag, actually (it reminds me a bit of Meta by Thy Catafalque, in terms of the adventurous spirit). 3 tracks are already available via bandcamp and a fourth, "Trismegistus", can be heard over at nocleansinging. That's 80% of the album and it is WILD. It's not knotty or difficult or impenetrable or anything like that. It's just weird as hell in a very approachable kind of way, somehow. Tough to describe actually so just give it a whirl: https://arkheth.bandcamp.com/album/12-winter-moons-comes-the-witches-brew-experimental-black-metal
I remember this day vividly. Was at football practice on a gorgeous fall day when a teammate told me. I did not have a good practice.
Most of us had limited means and opportunity to listen to new music back then. I probably was only able to buy an album a month, at best. Master Of Puppets is the only one from that time that I bought on the day of release. "Disposable Heroes" is still my favorite Metallica song and "Orion" is definitely top 5. He went out a hero.
This is all very plausible and somewhat entertaining but will do nothing to erase the stain of that bullshit Justin Timberlake album you endorsed without irony.
For a second I thought he wrote the lyrics to "Unbroken Chain", my favorite Dead tune and one of my favorites in general but, alas, he did not. Still, some mighty fine contributions there. RIP.
