Hey Peter! Pity we didn't say hi at RB. Just a big thanks for putting into my attention the magic of Matt Stephens via the tag Avant-garde Brutal DM that you put to Effluence. Now I recall that I had read about Effluence in the past thanks to Ian Chainey but it didn't give me a lasting impression. In 2024 giving it the proper time it has although by no means BDM is my favorite kind of extreme metal... Your Avant-garde tag did the trick!
I didn't realize Rope Sect was dropping a new album until a friend told me about it, and while it's not quite metal, it's plenty dark enough: https://ropesect.bandcamp.com/album/estrangement
Yeah I missed if too, but I've listened to it earlier today and set a track for a later update. Cool stuff indeed!

Hey good to hear! I think I actually picked it up at Stereogum too haha. Those guys are invaluable.
