WOVENHAND - REFRACTORY OBDURATE

It comes out in the next week, but is streaming on pitchfork as of a few hours ago, so shouldn't be a problem to listen too:
http://pitchfork.com/advance/411-refractory-obdurate/

Maybe predictable on my part but this is what I've been looking forward too the most this year, and it doesn't dissapoint: It continues the heavy rock sound from the previous Wovenhand album (Hiss is probably one of the most aggressive songs they've done, My good Shepherd one of the most strait-forward), albeit also with more atmospheric folk bits strewn about. Almost stream of consciousness lyrics with lots of biblical sounding language. Powerful, prophetic, commanding stuff.

Fantastic. I had no idea this was streaming. One song in and it's already better than pretty much everything I've heard this year.

This is very offensive and bad

Anyway listening to this now. Sounds pretty great so far. Could be a top 10 of the year candidate.

The TV show is incredibly misanthropic and degrading.

Liked the album a lot, created a really cool atmosphere throughout the whole thing. Really impressive.

i don't think it's misanthropic. it's more socially insular. not sure if you've ever been a nerd, but most are not that socially accepted and don't have many social skills.
