shit is going through an american renaissance of sorts after being relegated to countries where the sun shines 5 hours a day for most of the year

yeah it's interesting how widespread metal labels like profound lore go geographically (well outside of say Southern Lord). Seems like that there lack local scenes so you have to diversify to stay within the same boundaries weird enough

I'll check out the Dark Descent site

I like funeral doom especially Pallbearer. I definitely see Anhedonist as a total stylistic outlier (not that I am that steeped in Metal I know maybe slightly over 10-15 bands at this point). I'll check for Asphyx, cool
