analog version of BDN

Do you mean BDN would be digital in some way?

Not computer digital but gear digital. One of the albums, can't remember which has a equipment list. Mostly digital delays and synths/samplers. Not that it subtracts from the actual greatness of BDN. Aforementioned Assault Guard is just more hissing tape analog sounding but with similar vibe as Greatest Death-era BDN

It seems people often have a warped sense of analogue vs digital. I once saw a discussion where people talked about "analogue samplers". What the fuck is an analogue sampler?

Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal - Not as good as Realm of Chaos or In Battle... but way better than the few albums preceding it.

Bolt Thrower: Come for the Warhammer artwork, stay for the death metal.

One of my new nerdy roommate's has the largest collection of the Tomb skeleton army (or whatever the fuck they are called) and Lizardmen. And he has 4 different, really awesome looking tables with terrain and shit. It was probably one of the main reasons I picked him out of other potential roommates.

Core - 'An Area's Era Aria '

One of my favorite albums. What do you think about it? I don't know of any projects today that even comes close to the atmosphere on this recording. Maybe some works by Niellerande Fallibilisthorstar, but Core captures something very uniquely "german" and alienated.

Was listening "In the battle there is no law" last weekend at friends place. I have the LP, but haven't listened it for.. 10 years? I think together with Peel Sessions, it's the absolute best of Bolt Thrower!

I don't agree. "Realm Of Chaos" is the absolute perfection when it comes to Bolt Thrower, starting from the AMAZING Warhammer 40K artwork. In battle there might be no law, but in "Realm Of Chaos" there is no flaw!

Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal - Not as good as Realm of Chaos or In Battle... but way better than the few albums preceding it.

And to me "Those Once Loyal" stands as the second best Bolt Thrower record ever. After the last few "average" albums (for Bolt Thrower standards, which are higher than most), I sincerely didn't think they had another good one into them, but boy was I wrong. This slays from start to finish.

By the way, those guys are killer live. Had to fly to London last year to see them (they played Italy like once in 20 years!), but they did an amazing gig, well worth the trip.

Really glad somebody else on here is so fond of it! I think its a fantastic recording that people who are into this sort of thing really should check out. It contains pretty much every element I could hope for in an ambient industrial record perfectly blended together and executed, and they along with Cranioclast are easily amongst my favorite bands/projects of all time. I agree with you as well that there is almost nothing contemporary that captures a similar feeling, and I can't personally think of anyone from back then that explored similar terrain with nearly as much depth and focus either. Niellerande Fallibilisthorstar is definitely in the same head space and have a similar approach, good call on that. Maybe if they and Thomas Köner collaborated or remixed each others material the results could be as great as 'An Area's Era Aria'.

deathpile - G.R.

[Ashmonger]

Exsanguinate / La Infame Turba De Nocturnas Aves – Allegory Of Death (CD, Misanthrope Studio): Glad I got this through RRRs super sale. Exsanguinate is a project of Thomas Garrison and you can clearly hear this. The sound just reminds of Control. Basically this is more atmospheric, no vocals, structure of the compositions reminds me more of Ambient than Industrial or Power Electronics. Exsanguinate is really good. The other project is weird, also some ambient pieces, then more noise-alike parts, sounds like 'a bit of everything'. Some good sounds, some they could have rather skipped. Don't know what to think of it...

Total Gape (C60, Negation is Freedom): Interesting compilation! Things I think of right now are the Bereft track, which is good, but sounded less loud than the other stuff, vocals might also have been a bit more upfront. White Heterosexuals was good as well, first track I heard from them. While listening to the B-side, I lost attention, but this was more due to the fact that I was doing other stuff. This comp will play again.

Mainly used by Britpop fags who want to sound like The Beatles. Not so common in industrial/noise whatever.
