That looks like a Trollheart album cover.

Ugh. This album sucks. I've already skipped two tracks.

you're surprised?

Not really. Cautiously hopeful if anything.

They still doing the "****ty band covers Metallica" thing?

Zu - Jhator

Two albums I've been excited to hear ever since I heard about them. The Zu one is made up of two long suites, which is different for them.

Im not familiar with Q'uq'umatz. What do they sound like?

One of Mondo Bungle's best metal projects (they're all good who am I kidding). I guess you would call it experimental black/death metal with hints of avant-prog, industrial, and world music. I think you'd dig it: https://ququmatz.bandcamp.com/album/well-of-sacrifice

Well that was disappointing. An excellent post-rock album, but not a great Zu album by any means. I appreciate that they're trying out new things and probably won't find themselves in a rut though. I don't think these guys are capable of "losing it", so I still have high hopes for what the next record will be like.
