Zeal & Ardor. Soul/black metal:

 

[ThrowgnCpr]

well, that is an interesting (for lack of a better word) mixture...

 

[addiesin]

Aren't Zeal and Ardor the same thing? It's like Happy and Glad, or Crimson and Red, or Vegan and Insufferable.

 

[ThrowgnCpr]

Vegan and Insufferable.

Lastly, what does the name "Zeal and Ardor" mean to you?

It’s not that deep—I just wanted to go with something that doesn’t sound too cult. Black metal has this very strange trueness to it going on, and me being half black doesn’t really blend with that in any sense, so I thought I’d do a vaguely Christian sounding name. And also, you know, having the project's genre tagged as as "spiritual" on Soundcloud and Bandcamp gets a lot of Christian people to listen to it, and that just kind of makes me smile.

Interesting interview about how the project evolved from a message board troll to an actual album.

No offense meant to the insufferable.

Moon Tooth. The best new progressive rock/metal I've heard in a long time.

i totally get how that chick feels, though i wouldn't have understood a word of it without the on-screen lyrics.

in udder news, i sometimes eat potato non grata.

haha, I'm pretty sure that chick is Daryl Palumbo.  He isn't their regular vocalist, but the band likes to keep their lineup and identity changing.

I've really gotten into Fire Garden. They're a Chicago based prog rock band.

One of my favourite stoner rock bands, Lo-Pan, just released a new EP. Love the vocals.

"For The World - Theme Music" by Tan Dun from "Hero"'s original soundtrack.  Beautiful.

if i could custom-design my own pagan heaven, there would be cloudspeakers pumping out shoegaze.

 

[ThrowgnCpr]

I want to go to this pagan heaven you've designed.

 

[Q2F]

It's kinda soothing when you're troubleshooting a website.

Reminds me of Lush a little.
