The Axis Unseen free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807810/The_Axis_Unseen/
It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Oh snap thanks for pointing this out! Been a long time and I haven't kept up with ISIS, but their Panopticon was damn near genre-defining for me at the time.
I'm glad to see they've turned a corner in their careers. Last I heard they were mostly producing beheading videos.
Lol yeah, name became a wee bit unfortunate thanks to those angry rascals
So it's not a nasheed
Thx
Not really all that related, but if you like Panopticon by ISIS, you might also appreciate the best Appalachian atmospheric black metal I've ever heard, Kentucky by Panopticon.
Now find more metal by a band Kentucky
Buddy, "Appalachian atmospheric black metal" is a weird combination of words I've never seen before and I'm stoked to give it a whirl. Praise Satan for keeping metal interesting.
Add Blackbraid to that list as well. Amazing one man native black metal from the Adirondack region.
Absolute all-timer of an album IMO
This record, a few by Neurosis, and one or two by Cult of Luna were such a vibe. We knew some knuckleheads who even started a joke ish band called Cult of Neurisis lol
Check out Battle of Mice, Deafheaven, and Oathbreaker if you haven't. They lean pretty heavily on the depressing side of metal, but they have some killer vibes.
Oathbreaker's Rheia is one of the most moving records I've ever heard, truly a masterpiece with no wasted moments, missteps, just basically flawless in my opinion. On the other side Deafheaven just hasn't worked for me at all. Taste's so fickle lol.
I'll check out the third tho!
Fair warning, Battle of Mice can be tough to listen to. Song 6 of "A day of Nights", titled "At the base of the giants throat" has 911 call audio from 7:00 ish to the end of the song.
Rheia is so fucking good. It's a perfect example of music driven by emotion and backed up by incredible execution of the music itself. Glad to see that other people dig it. As for Deafheaven, I loved it when I first heard of it and listened to it all the time, but it's become one of those bands that I can't listen to anymore because of the association to that point in my life, which was not great to put lightly. I remember it being an incredible band, but it's been close to 10 years since I've listened to it, so I can't say whether I'd think it's good today. Maybe I wouldn't like it today if I was just hearing it the first time.
Edit: my favorite Battle of Mice song, Sleep and Dream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1k74EB4XVp0
