 @c230d83f a golden age. Loving to see a band here or there pick up the torch still, but there's a lot of sameness now. It's never the fancy production, either. It's the sound of the band and the songs. Does it every time. Stuff like the new Ectospire demo from this year. Same kind of lo-fi feel but I love it. Bog Body's demo from 2018 too

 @50b353e9 I like some newer stuff. I don't wanna be like one of those "It was all better back then" guys, but the difference is that the bands were terraforming the sound back then. They're not doing that now (as much), they are working with templates. So that is why the essence feels different. I have heard some good stuff though (the first Neoandertals album is cool), no doubt! Both demos you mention sound good on cursory listen. Ectospire is very Swe-DM
