.Metal.

[Azagtoth]

I dunno, I think bands that get their merch up in popular spots is ok. I mean, if I was in a band, I'd want to make the money too.

Fucking precisely. The only thing that should matter is the music: all this underground rep bs needs to die, especially considering that since this is the age of the ipod, nothing is really underground anymore.

[Digitalbooty]

If you like cheesy power metal, check Myspace for the band shoryuken. They hate dragons, but LOVE to Dragonpunch

[Khiempossible]

Screw the haters, Mastodons new album is great. Bladecatcher is a crazy ass song.

I'm a hater.

Mediocre riffs at best. Horrible vocals and stupid drumming. FILLS FILLS FILLS AND EVEN MORE FILLS.

fills are fun honestly, but when you're playing one every single bar it detracts majorly from the music. I'm just judging leviathan by the way.



The only mainstream bands that deserve respect are bands with their own unique sounds like Queen, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Led Zeppelin, Rush, those bands that changed generations forever.


1. Burzum, Graveland, Darkthrone etc. are mainstream. Every xerox copy of fat, ignorant, conceited and confused dumb kids that knows the word black metal knows who they are.
2. those bands you mentioned didn't do anything original either or change generations to come. Well other than producing additional dumb fuck kids like yourself who instead of listening to slipknot praise satan and nazism in the name of satan. go back to anus.com
3. underground =/= good. If that were true you'd listen to nothing but what existed on myspace. and you don't. Fuck, you'd be listening to the local music instead of going online trying to discover dumb fuck bands that you think noone else has heard of. Did you even know what it was like to be a real metal head? to go out drinking and just say fuck the man. beat up punk kids cause they gave you the eye? steal shit? rock the fuck out, not because you wanted to hear the music, but because there was nothing else to do?

I hate how the definition of metalhead these days is fat fuck ignorant white kids who's mommy bought him a computer and who's idea of rebelling is listening to bands he read about on anus.com because everyone at school hates him. go back and cry on your mommy's skirt.

have you realized how unblackmetal it is of you to be using a computer?

You're attempt at elitism is dismal. At least I back my elitism with legitimate points and defend them. "Because I said so" is not an argument.


It's stupid to bitch about how much music sucks nowadays. Every era has a handful of good music and a truckload of shitty music. The good stuff gets remembered and the bad stuff gets forgotten. That's how it is.

There are plenty of good bands out there right now.

Let's go buy some immortal candy bars.

[Episode_667]

New Blind Guardian is out this week, "A Twist in the Myth". I didn't think it was coming out this early (I'm still enamoured by the latest Mercenary album), so just an FYI for the BG fans out there.

On another note, anyone here like Sybreed? I thought their debut was a good dose of cyber metal, and I'm eagerly awaiting their next disk.

[DarkGiygas]

blood mountain is awesome

best mastodon album yet

[Digitalbooty]

I heard mastadon is writing the intro for the ATHF movie.

[GC!?]

Can anyone recommend me some death metal bands (NOT melodic)? Something along the lines of Death, Bolt Thrower, or perhaps Suffocation?

there's probably a good chance I've heard of them though, but it'd be nice if I could change it up a bit.

[Gumbercules]

Possesed, Morbid Angel, Watchtower, Cynic, Atheist?

[Khiempossible]

cryptopsy?

[Khiempossible]

oops. look what I found.

http://rapidshare.de/files/33708670/cryptopsy_none_so_vile.rar.html

[bigpoppa]

Suffocation's self titled album just came out today!! Judging from the 2 songs they had off of Relapse's site, this one is going to be much better than Souls to Deny. I was really disappointed by that album honestly

[Khiempossible]

FUCK yeah (http://www.bravewords.com/news/51983)

Best metal news I've heard in years.

[Stevie White]

Going to see Maiden in concert tonight - If I'm still up and running when I get home I'll post full stage-show details.

[Kayin]

Going to see Maiden in concert tonight - If I'm still up and running when I get home I'll post full stage-show details.

If they bring out Eddie I'm gonna be SO FUCKING JEALOUS.

[Episode_667]

If you like "folk - metal", or just rocking tunes in general, I definitely recommend Die Apokalyptischen Reiter (The Apocalyptic Riders) (http://www.reitermania.de/). They have literally a fuck - tonne of influences and instruments on seemingly every song, from thrash to folk and beyond. Closest thing I could call them would be Rammstein crossed with Korpiklaani. They do a bitching cover of "Ghost Riders in the Sky", which can be heard (along with a few other songs) here (http://www.myspace.com/reitermania).

Oh yeah, I also picked up Rhapsody's greatest hits album "Tales From the Emerald Sword Saga" last week. That makes two bands this year that finally clicked with me after years of trying, the other being Emperor.

Before that I also managed to snag Non - Human Level's debut (side - project from one of the guitarists of Darkane), and Emperor's IX Equilibrium, which completes my Emperor collection!

[bill_rizer]

lol interesting agruement aa_overmind has started, I dont claim to know the history of metal but I think your starting to lose grip on what your saying.

This myspace Era combined with emo has probably wrecked alot of minds, not saying you cant find good music on there, but not all underground music is cool, but like someone said underground does'nt really exists in this age.

Also a band or artist in general only sell out when they turn their back on what they were in the first place, good example black eye peas.

Selling Merchandise is for the fans thats how I see it.

Yea over the years ive been geting into Rock more, im not going into sub genres because thats just to make people separate and look cool.

I just like whatever sounds good my fav band is Biohazard, I always like to find new bands so if you guys know anyone good ones fill me in.

I saw the new BG when I was at Best Buy, but I passed on it for, Nevermind....

The D&W "Touched by the Crimsom King" is good album! :tup:

[Episode_667]

"Nevermind" as in the Nirvana album? Hmm...But I agree with you that Crimson King is a good CD, I proudly have it as part of my collection.

[Stevie White]

Maiden tonight was fantastic -

Stage setup was basically a WWI bunker with a bombed out city in the background, fucking tight.

They played all of AMOLAD, and It was like a well oiled machine top to bottom - For the Greater Good of God is fantastic live. Encore was Fear of the Dark, Iron Maiden, the Evil that Men Do, and Hallowed Be Thy Name...

Awkward pause before the encore, and Bruce Dickinson came back out, apologized - said apparently there was supposed to be a giant flame belching tank and Eddie was supposed to come out - but the fucking plug broke or something - we got Eddie nonetheless - no tank - during the Evil that men Do - Full WWI regalia while playing air guitar on his rifle. Fucking tight.

Adrian Smith was fucking decked out like it was 1984. It was awesome.

A lot of the old heads/casual fans were pissed at the lack of old material, but the new album sounds like dynamite live. It was absolutely amazing - everyone in the pit was going apeshit. I have no complaints.

Highlight of the show for me - a fucking 40 something Maiden fan there with his two sons - he hoisted his six year old on the shoulder and the kid was giving the sign of the beast and everything -

Quoth the guy -

"I have a three herniated discs, and this hurts like hell, but it's fucking important"

THAT is what heavy metal is all about.

[Azagtoth]

Just came back from Gigantour.

Into Eternity only played three songs with one guitarist and then dipped. Quite the let down. :(

Other than that, wasn't bad at all.

[TheSix]

^^ Did the Megadeth fireworks scare the shit out of you too?

[Azagtoth]

^^ Did the Megadeth fireworks scare the shit out of you too?

I don't know. I left after Lamb of God. =P

Heard about it though. Funny as shit.

[bill_rizer]

does any one have suicidecity tracks? If you could hook me up with that shit, that would be cool.

that is all.

[let blood run]

hey guys check out my band and add us!!!!

http://www.myspace.com/desadeSD

thanks

[P. Gorath]

anyone listen to mortiis?

[Obliterate]

Some good bands:

Destroyer 666
God Dethroned
Usurper
Demonoid
Vital Remains
MALEVOLENT CREATION - my personal favorite of all time
Vader
Suffocation
Nile (some of their shit you may not like they have an Egyptian death metal sound, and fuckin awesome guitar solos)
Origin
Behemoth
Skinless

Cryptopsy - I know someone asked about them or whatnot, I liked their albums overall.

Shit I have so many cds that names of bands are escaping me at this time. You can go to cdnow.com or wherever listen to some tracks and figure out if you want to buy it...that's what usually I do. I for one can't stand power, melodic, or any of that screechy high pitched Iron Maiden bullshit, or that new metal sound of screaming at the top of your lungs and then singing clean...can't fuckin stand it.

Oh and check out Malevolent Creation...seriously.

[bill_rizer]

^^hey man thanks for that list. :tup:

[bigpoppa]

Some good bands:

Cryptopsy - I know someone asked about them or whatnot, I liked their albums overall.

My favorites from your list are Suffocation, Cryptopsy, and Nile. I agree that Malevolent Creation is really good. I love their older stuff

My current playlist:

Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death( I was quite surprised with it actually. It's very good)
Morbid Angel - Blessed are the Sick, Covenant
Carcass - Heartwork
Zyklon - Disintegrate

[Obliterate]

I also like all of The Crown cds. Has a nice thrash sound. Most metal people say that their cd Deathrace King is the best, but I like all of em.

I'm listening to the new Suffocation cd right now...haven't had a chance to give a listen to that extra cd complilation they had with it.

[Khiempossible]

now playing:

Earthride - Vampire Circus

[P. Gorath]

people still listen to earthride?

[DarkGiygas]

lolol

new converge is sick

been listening to pretty much all the nile albums lately, theyre so good

[Khiempossible]

solid doom with southern stylings. One of my favourite doom bands.

NP: Eazy E - Eazy Duz It

[hawaiigamer142]

It's currently getting the most plays for me.

Gonna pick it up next time I'm in a music store. How would you compare it to Ascendancy



Current Playlist:

Iron Maiden
Mastadon
Motorhead
Biohazard
Probot

Does anyone know where the opening lines of "Punishment" are from. Sounds like it's from a movie

[orochi_shin]

Into Eternity's new album is too fucking good people. I can't believe that all the songs are completely awesome. There isn't one song that I don't like. It's like Halford like screams and shit, and and and.. just wow. I haven't had a boner like this sense I saw a pair of topless lesbians kiss each other in one of our shows =)

[RowJoe]

Nile's drummer is nuts. =O

[hawaiigamer142]

Gonna pick it up next time I'm in a music store. How would you compare it to Ascendancy

Well you can definitely still hear the old Trivium in the album, but Matt Heafy ventures off more into "singing" rather than screaming/growling. Don't get me wrong though, this album has its moments of those as well. The solos as always are true Trivium i.e. shredding, dual guitars. And in this album more than others you can definitely hear the Metallica influence IMO.

werd to your mother.

I don't know how people listen to bands who produce albums without every song being great.

All my favourite bands have produced 1+ album where every song has been excellent.

Am I the only album person here? For some reason, liking songs but disliking an album feels so MTV age. Before MTV, people actually produced albums instead of songs. Cause it was the album that sold, not the song.

i hear you on that man.

i used to hear one song and be like "omfg i have to pick teh album up"
and then i realized that i blew fucking 12 or so dollars on ONE good song.

[bigpoppa]

I just picked up The Crusade yesterday, and I agree that it's really good. It is much better than Ascendency. Is it just me, but does anyone else hear a slight Nevermore influence on the songs starting with track 6?

Is anyone here going to see Maiden? I won't be able to see them, so i'm kind of bummec about that.

[Khiempossible]

thank god for soulseek.

95% of metal bands today would be less than half as popular without it.

speaking of which, for those of you who use it, I'm KhiemF. If I'm online. which I'm not at the moment, cause I had a binge 3 weeks ago. I'll probably be online again in a week.

[OmegaX]

Is anyone here going to see Maiden? I won't be able to see them, so i'm kind of bummec about that.

Are tickets still available? I really wan't to go but no one else I know wants to. Randomly had a 15 minute conversation with some guy who saw me wearing my Maiden t-shirt. He said he got his tickets for like $45 bucks (which to me sounds cheap).

[bigpoppa]

Omega X - Ticketmaster still has tickets the last time I checked. They're $49.50 each, so if you are planning on going, i'd get them today, because the show at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont is this Wednesday.


Since we're talking about Maiden, what are your guy's favorite album by them? I have 3 favorites.....it's hard to pick just ONE:wgrin:

I love The Number of the Beast, Powerslave, and Somewhere in Time

[BudaFuka]

I really wan't to go but no one else I know wants to.

:confused:


:arazz:

[Devil X]

Killers is my favorite maiden album. :rock:

I've been listening to old school Priest - Unleased in the East, fucking greatness :rock:

[OmegaX]

Hmm. In no particular order.

Killers
Number of the Beast
Powerslave

Favorite songs.

Run to the Hills
Number of the Beast
The Trooper

[Khiempossible]

hallowed be they name is the only maiden song that I ever really cared for. Second to it is run to the hills, but even then, it's a whole alphabet in tier difference between the two tracks.

[goodm0urning]

Number Of The Beast and Killers are both ass-stompingly good, but Somewhere In Time is my favorite. Maiden shows Metallica how to properly write songs with epic, winding structures. Too bad it was a high watermark that they didn't have time to recapture before they transformed into Spinal Tap.

[hawaiigamer142]

My favorite is Number of the Beast, but my favorite Maiden song is "Aces High" followed by "The Trooper" and then all the other greats. :)

I fucking love harmonized guitar riffs. [i.e. The Trooper intro]

[Demon Dash]

Anyone know the name of the metal track in this vid?

http://s107.photobucket.com/albums/m304/DJEngland/Others/?action=view&current=tatsLDScombovid-1.flv

[Devil X]

im not too fond of those 7+ minute maiden songs, just give me 3-5 minutes max of ass kicking. its what they do best imo not those long drawn out songs that usually get boring. im really not feeling A Matter of Life and Death that much.

[Episode_667]

Any fans of Anaal Nathrakh here? I read a review of their latest album on Digitalmetal.com today, and after hearing the track "When the Lion Devours Both Dragon and Child" I'm pretty intrigued.

[bigpoppa]

Any fans of Anaal Nathrakh here?

I love Anaal Nathrakh!! I like Domine Non Es Dignus. My favorite songs off that album are The Oblivion Gene and Procreation of the Wicked

I've been listening to alot of old school thrash and death lately

Testament - The Legacy, The New Order
Pestilence - Consuming Impulse
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Kreator - Terrible Certainty
Entombed - Left Hand Path
Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness

[Khiempossible]

Anyone know the name of the metal track in this vid?

Nope, but it's pretty generic and boring.

does anyone here listen to dragon force I just listened to one of their songs on head bangers ball and it left me wanting more, those fuckers can play like no ones bussiness. there singer sounds kinda like the old 80s power metal guys but the rest of the band has a more contemporery sound.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/artists/DragonForce/video.aspx

Dragonforce are very much a love - or - hate band, and I (mostly) fall in the love category. Saw them live this past summer, phenomenal.

Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, band that wins the award for most unintelligible vocals EVER: CUMBEAST (http://myspace.com/cumbeast) (the first song you can listen to is the "better" one, in terms of unintelligibility).

That is all.

Oh yeah, Die Apokaliptischen Reiter (http://www.myspace.com/reitermania) are a band a found out about recently as well. For some reason I find German a very "cool" language to hear sung, I don't know.

[hawaiigamer142]

Yeah I totally agree on the Love em or Hate em comment. I love them myself, but then again, I think I'm one of the few who still are in to power metal-esque music. Like secks for my ears.

Also, so is Necrophagist, their guitar work is like a chocolate pie. You know it's bad for you, but, fuck it's so good.

[IbanezNinja]

Ohhhhhhh man, I love Dragonforce. I've seen them twice so far, both times were amazing.

[Edit]
I forgot, that song in the video is The Great Empress from the GGXX#Reload Korean soundtrack

[Fadedsun303]

Ohhhhhhh man, I love Dragonforce. I've seen them twice so far, both times were amazing.

I love that song. And that entire OST. I find it to be more diverse than the original OST.

Tears Are Forever is such as insane track.

[Stevie White]

Is Masterplan any good? I just heard "Spirit Never Die" and kind of liked it. Sounded very power metal to me - is it worth getting more?

[orochi_shin]

I'm gonna play on Halloween in my university, hahahah gonna play some metal songs.

Dethklok- Duncan Hills
Killswitch Engage- Rose of Sharyn
Slipknot- Duality
Dragonforce- Through the Fire and Flames and Valley of the Damned

It's gonna be fucking awesome, we're gonna record that shiet and see if we can post it on you tube.

[Mno]

Hahah Dethklok.



Looking forward to that shit, shin.

[Digitalbooty]

that song was also in a marvel video way back.

[IbanezNinja]

Dethklok = win.


Anyone else hear about how Dethklok's Thunderhorse is going to be in Guitar Hero 2? I can't wait.

[bigpoppa]

So is there going to be a Dethklok CD released? I just started watching Metalocalypse a few weeks ago, and so far, it's a pretty cool show.

Currently playing:

Frightmare - Midnight Murder Mania, Bringing Back the Bloodshed

I know i've posted some mp3's of Frightmare in the past. If you are into old school death/grind, thrash, punk, and late 70's/early 80's slasher films, you'd love this band

[hawaiigamer142]

I just bought the new Mastodon CD. Meh, it's alright... :P

Yeah Orochi, I'm looking forward to a youtube video too. I just bought myself the Killswitch Engage dvd. I fucking love those guys. Howard Jones is just too good.

[Khiempossible]

I'm still listening to Isis' Oceanic. I don't know why those guys stopped producing quality material. They need better weed I think. I think they've dried up their creative juices.

[TheSix]

I just bought the new Mastodon CD. It rapes up the ass.

Sorry man, but no. The new mastadon CD was completely unimpressive.

It really is. I don't see how when a great band changes their sound, people jump all over it. I really liked them before, now i just kinda lump them in with the average of my cd stack.

Anyone hear the new KsE album? I don't really like them, a couple good songs though. :|

[hawaiigamer142]

Yeah sorry Six. I love songs like March of the Fire Ants, but if you ask me to name any song off their new album I wouldn't be able to tell you because I couldn't get in to any of them enough to remember a name. Good thing I bought it on discount [Tower Records is going out of business in Hawaii. BOO!] By no means though am I saying they're a junk band. :]

by the way, Fuccon, where did you get to hear the new KsE album?

[bigpoppa]

I agree with you guys on the new Mastodon CD. I really liked Remission and Leviathan, but I was not at all impressed by Blood Mountain

[chaoscntrl77]

Since we're on the topic of Mastodon, I read at the ESP guitar forums that they'll be on Conan this wednesday night.

Holy shit that new KSE is boring as all hell. I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

Now playing:
Insomnium: Above The Weeping World
The Arcane Order: The Machinery of Oblivion
Catamenia: Location Cold

[hawaiigamer142]

I agree. I loves me some KsE and all, but after the first 3 or 4 songs I just lose interest. But their cover of Dio's "Holy Diver" kicks all kinds of ass.

Good shit, but damn cant wait to get my Jumalhämärä - Blossom of Revulsion, sick shit for real!! Jiro Nyqvist has some fuckin tight uses in track 3, need to check out his side stuff soon :smokin:

[TheSix]

I guess KSE is finally locked into "their" sound. Every song on the new album sounds exactly the same. I like Howard and all but it's SO repetitive(it's not all his fault). The kids love'em though.

I hope they do a US tour with the new album this year.

Into Celtic Frost lately, can anyone name any similar acts?

Still haven't copped the new Mastodon yet :sad: what I've heard is fucking
awesome though.

My friend bought me 'Masters of Reality' for my birthday the other day, and I must say...heavy stuff!

Loving Quo Vadis at the moment.

Same here. That and Necrophagist.

[bigpoppa]

Same here. That and Necrophagist.

Necrophagist is awesome. I love brutal technical death metal. My favorite song is Stabwound

Does anyone here listen to Immolation? One of my all time favorite death metal bands from New York. I really like their first album, Dawn of Possession. Close to a World Below is also really good. I'm listening to them right now( the song Burn with Jesus)

[polarity]

Alcest have posted samples to their upcoming album on their MySpace (www.myspace.com/alcestmusic). The Le Secret EP was one of the best metal releases of 2005 and I can see this being the best metal album of 2007, if it's even metal any more?

Neige's other band, Amesoeurs (www.myspace.com/amesoeurs), just got signed to code666 records, also. Their EP was one of the best metal releases of 2006, so I'm very excited to see what's in store from them, too.

[OmegaX]

Long time no post here. Anyway a friend just called me asking me about Soilwork. Never really took the time to buy an album so I don't know much about them. He tell's me that he works with their former drummer Henry Ranta. Apparently he played on the first four albums. My friend also tells me that he looks somewhat like Hardcore Holly (face only). Can anyone give me more info on this guy, I kind of find it hard to believe a talented drummer like him is working at a Meijer.

On a different note, does anyone know anything about Vinnie Paul's supergroup Hell Yeah.

Long time no post here. Anyway a friend just called me asking me about Soilwork. Never really took the time to buy an album so I don't know much about them. He tell's me that he works with their former drummer Henry Ranta. Apparently he played on the first four albums. My friend also tells me that he looks somewhat like Hardcore Holly (face only). Can anyone give me more info on this guy, I kind of find it hard to believe a talented drummer like him is working at a Meijer.


Check out Steelbath Suicide and Chainheart Machine. He's not amazing, but not bad, and the band was much better with him.

If anyone wants to hear Chilean doom metal

I guess he's already confirmed it by looking at his myspace. I guess this guy works at Meijer as a side job , apparently he still doe's record as his main gig.

NILE: New Album Details Revealed - Apr. 11, 2007

NILE mainman Karl Sanders has issued the following update:

"We are currently finishing the mixes on the new NILE album, entitled 'Ithyphallic', our first album for Nuclear Blast [Records]. So far we have been nothing but thrilled to work with the entire cast at Nuclear Blast; they have treated us exceptionally well and have given the band a ferocious and inspirational new lease on life. Dallas [Toler-Wade, guitar/vocals], George [Kollias, drums] and I are convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that this new record contains our best material yet, and Neil Kernon [producer] is working overtime to ensure that every single blasphemous note is heard in alll its primal savagery.

"There are nine songs and one short acoustic piece, two of which are epic length songs, yet overall a wide range of tempos, some doomy, exotic elements as well as some unbelievably fast and catchy metal. A few songtitles: 'Language of the Shadows', 'Even the Gods Must Die', 'The Infinity of Stone', 'Ithyphallic', 'Papyrii Containg the Spell to Preserve its Possessor Against Attacks from He who is in the Water'.

"We are, as could be expected, very much looking forward to our upcoming Australian tour. Our last tip down under went exceptionally well and we can't wait to play again for the rabid Aussie metal fans. We will also indeed be bringing the NILE brand of ithyphallic metal to the uninitiated masses at the summer Ozzfest, and, quite welcomely, playing our own NILE headlining shows for the off Ozz days. We are also anxious for the European NILE fall tour that is in the works where we will finally be able to play a nice long NILE set covering a wide range of material from all our albums."

NILE's new album is being recorded at Sound Lab Studios in Columbia, South Carolina. The band's last CD, "Annihilation of the Wicked" album, was released in May 2005 via Relapse Records. A video for the album track "Sacrifice Unto Sebek" was shot on location in Atlanta, GA by director Chad Rullman (MASTODON's "March of the Fire Ants", THE AGONY SCENE) for Supercollider Films.

Support on NILE's Australian tour will come from Polish technical death metal sensations DECAPITATED.

[MagnetGenocide]

Did anyone else go to "California Metal Fest" about 3 weeks ago?? It was fucking brutal. Necrophagist was there and it was my first time listening to them. They were pretty good Death Metal band.

I have been waiting to see Obituary and Atheist for god damn who knows how long. Necrophagist and Suffocation are sick live, and Testament and Sadus are sweet thrash. It would be a fun show. Haha nobody could ever convince me that AxCx is any good. Seth Putnam is a cocksucker, and of all the people to come out of an insane overdose coma, it is the ultimate irony that it should be him. I would still have to choose Murderfest, however, just because there are more bands there that I haven't seen. (Fucking Repulsion's Horrified is so good, come on)

EDIT: What about the Maryland Deathfest though? I have ALWAYS wanted to get down there for that, although this year doesn't hold a candle to last year. Fucking Demilich was there (amongst a shitload of other good gore bands), and now I will never see the bastards live. Son of a bitch.

[Gasp]

:( i'd kill to see birdflesh and ghoul


demilich is brutal too

[Armo]

Am I the only one whose going to the Heaven and Hell Tour????

If it wasn't for their vocalist, they would be have way decent. Especially the drummer.

Haven't heard it, but the topic of bands having disappointing albums is something I find interesting. Sometimes a band does something so great, it is like everything else is bound to not live up to expectations.

... Satyricon, I'm looking in your direction. Make another Nemesis Divina!!

[goodm0urning]

I would love to see Heaven And Hell, but I'm skipping it for the same reason I skipped Gigantour. I'm not interested in putting another red cent in Dave Mustaine's pocket.

In other news, I know there's supposed to be a third Down album sometime this year, but I don't know anything else about it. Has anyone been following this?

[SlayerofBodom]

Bizarrely enough, I've been listening a lot to a Spanish metal band recently, Tierra Santo. Here are a couple of Youtube videos featuring songs of theirs;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZDEQCZTwq8

It's very old school, but I enjoy it a lot.

I'm hearing good things about the new megadeth...any opinions from people who have actually bought the album?

[Gasp]

the new sonata arctica is disappointing.
im excited to see them though.

Isn´t it just dave mustaine nowadays?

The rest of the new band isn't bad.

[Dios <-X->]

New sonata arctica? * searches *

[Gasp]

dios: its called "Unia"
and being a huge SA fan i was pretty disappointed

[Dios <-X->]

ok i got it now * listens *

[Dios <-X->]

sigh~ yeah just heard it, nothing special, didnt like it too much, Silence is still my favorite album.

[TheSix]

I don't care what anyone says, Megadeth have made a lot of classics. Okay, so United Abomination isn't the greatest thing in the world, but that hardly takes away from Megadeth being one of the best thrash bands of all time.

/End fanboy rant

-----------------

In other news, I recommend High on Fire(Doom/Thrash) and The Fall of Every Season(Prog/Doom) if you need some new shit to listen to.

[Devil X]

I'm definately a Megadeth fan boy but the new album sucks (as i knew it would). He hasn't put out anything decent since Youthanasia. He's done, o well. Peace Sells hasn't left my 6 disk changer in about 2 years.

[BobSmack]

I personally think its very good - I drove all the way up to Cincinatti to catch the Heaven and Hell/Megadeth/Machine Head show, and the new band is very, very tight live. Especially Lomenzo, the new bass player - he was on point with all the vocals and the bass lines. They even did Take No Prisoners and he nailed that little 4 second bass solo. My $0.02

[OmegaX]

Anyone know when the new neurosis album is coming out and has anyone heard anything about the documentary "Get Thrashed".

[DarkGiygas]

Apparently the album is out some time next month.

New Ion Dissonance out!

[ST Vega]

Wow, I had no clue this thread existed.

[Gasp]

can i talk about grind and grindcore here?
Insect Warfare and Discordance Axis....ALWAYS get me pumped.

[the T1AN]

I'm planning on using it for lead guitar overdubs, when I get to them, for the Dethklock record, which I'm currently in the studio recording.Source (http://www.gibson.com/bfg/player_bsmall.htm)

I found this while browsing the BFG section of the Gibson site.I know people have posted about it before, but I hadn't seen any confirmation on a dethklok studio album until this.

[ScithDeath]

Got introduced to a new band Abigor at first didn't really like it. But now its all about the Fractal Possession. I still think Dodheimsgard's Supervillain Outcast is 2007s best metal album...so far.

[BBQ]

One band that I will never get sick of is Slayer. "Reign in Blood" is always in my car's 6 disc changer. "Raining Blood" one of my favorite songs. Another great band is "Discharge," check them out if you havn't heard of them.

[Shion]

All about NILE for me at the moment, still whoring Quo Vadis too.

Should be seeing SunnO))) soon, and after that Converge. It's gonna be a loud summer.

[Azagtoth]

Just got into Moonsorrow.

God this shit is good.

[Dios <-X->]

Why do i love Blind Guardian so much o.o

And then there was sileeeeeence

[orochi_shin]

YES!!! I saw Symphony X live!!! Was in the front row rocking with the bassist. That guy is funny as fuck, we were signaling him to do a bass solo and he ripped a bad ass solo and ended it with a "I'm the shit" face. Golden. I was completely satisfied, they even played The Odyssey. I went home that night, grabbed my guitar and practiced like a mofo.

Didn't like the new Sonata cd, and I'm a very huge fan. I'm waiting eagerly for the new Cellador cd, fell in love with them, they got that old school mixed with new school power metal style that's just awesome.

Unearth rules.

All about NILE for me at the moment

I played in a band that opened for Nile at Gary's pub in Greenville, SC circa 1995 (I was in high school).
:encore::encore::encore:

Hella nice group of guys - Karl Sanders was VERY encouraging when it came to playing professionally - I sat with him while he tuned his guitar before the show, and he was steady giving me pointers and suggestions. Chief Spires hangs out at my local metal club/bar all the time now...guess he has a little more time on his hands now that he's out :) EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO NILE! They're my friends! lol

[TheSix]

Top 5 metal songs you can't/couldn't live with this week are:

1. Megadeth - Sweating Bullets
2. Reptilian Sky - Abrupt
3. Opeth - White Cluster
4. Mastodon - Bladecatcher
5. Mudvayne - Pharmeacopia

This thread needs more life.

Man the youtube videos don't do the band any justice. You gotta buy/torrent the dvd. It's insane. Check out the melodic ending to absolution. Sounds so good.

I love how you can hear EVERYONE in Quo Vadis. The mix is so perfect on the albums and DVDs.

[Mno]

Quo Vadis is that fire, it's good to see people getting into them now



And debating going Ozzfest...but the bands are all so fucking shit. And nobody wants to see BLS/Ozzy for the 9384798273897489234th time.


3 Bands making me want to go.

Behemoth
Nile

And the killer for me....

CHTHONIC! How the fuck did they got on the Ozzfest bill? Nearly everyone I've ever talked to has never heard of them, unless they were deep Asian/Euro-heads.

Some day, I'm raping Doris. So yeah.

[Dios <-X->]

Has nightwish gotten a new singer yet? if they are going to continue ,with everyone, just a new singer, they should rename the band or something, its just not the same.

[Mno]

They have, but keeping names very hush hush.

And afaik they aren't changing the name, which I agree with you that they should.

That's what I said. But it doesn't look like it is going to happen. The metalcore kids are raping the system to get tickets. It's been on "Please wait while accessing the system (please be patient)...." for 10 minutes now.

[Dios <-X->]

Does anyone know if you have to print the tickets out right away? im at home now and would like to redeem them here, but i have no printer, will the confirmation of my tickets be sent to my email or do i have to run and find a printer in the next 60 min?

[TheSix]

According to my friend, he waited 3 hours in the "queue" before he was able to get his pre-sale tickets :mad:


No Dios, you don't have to print them out right away(go to the livenation page, it says so, my friend also confirmed this). I'm in the same situation. Freeloading printer usage FTW!

[Shion]

I love how you can hear EVERYONE in Quo Vadis. The mix is so perfect on the albums and DVDs.

Too right! I LOVE the sound of the bass, it's a fretless one right?

That reminds me I should start learning again soon. :/

[Mno]

Fretless...and no markers! Looks awesome and sounds great. And yes, it's always a good time to start playing again.

----------------------

Still no tickets yet....and it errored once already :wtf:. No free Nile for me apparently :tdown: :bluu:

[Dios <-X->]

So where does your so called ticket redemption get kept? on the website through a personilized code after you wait your que, or do they send a copy of what you need to print out in your email address? bottom line, i can just stay home for now and print it out tomorrow or the day after.

[Dios <-X->]

fucking bullshit, i refreshed the page over and over until i can enter my passcode and get my tickets, im like one of the first ppl do input my code, and im waiting 17 minutes in line, and then i get dropped and says srry try again. WTF the faster you get them the better seats you get, this is fucking gay.

[TheSix]

You enter your redemption code when you want to print the ticket. It doesn't say how long they will hold the ticket(s) for you though.

------------------

This is way retarded. I got 1/2 tickets.....then as it searched for the last ticket, it says that there is no combined seating anymore. WTF? I'm not going to ozzfest by myself.

[Dios <-X->]

yo, i never been to ozzfest, nor a concert so i dont know how the seating goes. anyone know where the hell ima be seating? probably some bootleg seats but its free right?

http://www.livenation.com/venue/getSeatingChart/venueId/113 < thats the overview map

section LAWN13 row GA7 seat #620 thats my seat.

[TheSix]

There is no seating in Lawn. It's either a grassy hill or some standing area depending on the venue. Some venues allow chairs/blankets.

But be warned, the lawn is mainly a pit area. Meaning pits start out of no where. People tend to through things at the people with seats because they are noobs. Don't be one of them.

Oh yeah and bring binoculars.

[Dios <-X->]

lol i would figure it was the other way around, and we would be pelted because we cant just rush up there, they have the high ground ! you cant win anakin~!

Bring seats? meh people will be jumping up and down like crazy and shit so it may be futile. i guess standing in the crowd of smelly metal heads is my option. oh well, hopefully it will still be fun....will i still need binoculars really? cant see shit?

Edit: shit the site must be getting RAPED. i cant print it from home, so im copy/pasting everything to my friend at work so he cant print it there, but he is getting a error message when clicking on the link i sent him to reprint the tickets....and im getting it too...but it was working a few minutes ago...fuck. i guess im just being paranoid. i got the reciept* email already showing what tickets i have and shit. its not like if i dont download it withen the next hour its going to be given away or anything...but i want it nowwww ;-;

[TheSix]

....I still haven't got my other ticket. It's been getting hammered since 7.

[Shion]

Sounds tough, keep at it guys.

[goodm0urning]

new darkest hour is out also, its decent

produced by devin townsend againEverything Devy touches tends to turn to gold.

And I've been to Ozzfest twice. Shit ain't worth it.

[TheSix]

Ozzfest 99 was worth every bit of my concert virginity. Then again, the band list was ASTRONOMICALLY better than it has been in years.

-----------------------

Is anyone hear actually into female death vox? I really can't stand the shit(Arch Enemy is just the worst). But I have been getting into clean(female)/death(male) combination type of stuff....when it sounds good. Bands like Trail of Tears and Draconian.

[pherai]

99/100 times the female singer is just for gimmick value and sounds just like a half assed screamer. Although the chick from Watch Me Burn is on suicide girls, but shes kind of fat anyway. I think it can work for some of the cheesy power metal bands, but otherwise it gets a big :tdown: from me.

[goodm0urning]

Bands with good female singers:

Synergy

Kimberly Goss is the female Dio. She sings with more balls than most male singers. The band in general sounds like a modern Iron Maiden, with a bit of the self-parody included.


Dark Moor

I forget this chick's name. She's a fairly clean singer, but she still has more intensity and edge than a lot of dudes. She is not in the band anymore, which is just as well, since she was probably the only remarkable thing about it.

My friend is going to see nightwish in LA this fall...i was thinking of going...but now its a new singer , its not the same...im thinking why should i bother?

The new singer is good, but if I were you, I wouldn't bother. Nightwish seriously has the second most annoying, pathetic fans in the world, behind only Slipknot.

I mean, I look out of place at the few concerts I've attended anyways, but Nightwish fans are the people who other metalheads hate with a passion. Ridiculously fat or skinny, goth, make-up and eye-line wearing sad sacks of shit.

I would feel seriously homicidal surrounded by these people for even a few minutes, let alone a full concert.

dragonforce is sick overrated
same goes for immortal.

avantasia NEXT YEAR at waken open air festival
im learning german :D

i think his name is emptyjumpthrow but theres a really good dood here from ireland whos really sociable when it comes to metal.
i think he saw demilich too, fucking asshole ><

[pherai]

and dark throne, they had like what one good album

Dark Throne has no good albums. Everything they've ever put out is garbage. They are like the big inside joke of metal that fans can't seem to get. With that said, I have a Transylvanian Hunger shirt I wear proudly because that cover is just too sick. Also, Fenriz's side project Isengard kicks ass!

You plan on going to Wacken Open Air?

[Gasp]

isengard is good,but im a sucker for anything lotr related, like summoning from australia
i dug transylvania hunger, but it was one of the first bm albums i heard so yea.

yea me and 3-4 other friends REALLY want to see avantasia, although edguy is coming soon avantasia is a once in a lifetime experience. i volunteered to learn german.
also iron maiden is headlining

I would look back at it and see what you think of it now. I used to dig them in high school, but when I listen to them now all I hear is awful guitar tone, poor mixing, sloppy playing, and forgettable riffs.

I think you can get along ok there just on english. A friend of mine just got back from there and I don't think he speaks german. He actually wrote a whole review of it here (http://ruthlessreviews.com/reviews.cfm/id/1378/page/wacken_open_air_festival_____.html) if you've got time to kill.

[t1337Dude]

Cause its better to be a Black Metal fanboy?

I'd rather have a bunch of black metal fanboys than a bunch of guys listening to Pantera and Metallica while thinking Iron Maiden is crap.

And Darkthrone does suck. I just use this shit as my avatar because Darkthrone has a sweet logo.


But Immortal....overrated? Those are some fighting words.

i dont know, those chodes do like occasional good shit like obituary and entombed and i have a few black metal friends, (PHERAI: since you're in the LA region if you ever heard of a band called Dark Union [were gonna play the mayhem show] i went to high school with them and we go wayyyy back) and they're like women, waiting a few hours for them to put on their gauntlets and corpse paint so they can play shiesty gigs isn't too fun.

also immortal, like mayhem, like dark throne, like marduk drop one probably two albums and people act like they're a godsend. don't get me wrong i like immortal....and marduk but they are overrated. i mean dont abbath and horgh still do photo shoots?
:P i dont wanna pick fights and argue.

Another reason why Chris Barnes >> Corpsegrinder

Well the summer has been full of great shows.

Mastodon (A+)
Ozzfest (C)
Slayer/Manson the other night was just incredible (A++++).

Headlining Megadeth next month though will put them all to shame.

[ScithDeath]

Through the eyes of the dead is awesome.

[Shadowcuz]

im not really into rock music, but i however do enjoy Power Metal.

can anybody recommend me good bands/songs that are similar to Kamelot, Rhapsody, or anything with clean vocals?

[ScithDeath]

Olympos Mons
Blind Guardian
for engrish powered power metal Galneryus

[Gasp]

avantasia, gamma ray, edguy, shining fury, sonata arctica, etc etc.

....falconer :)

i've only heard one power metal band with out "clean" vocals
and they sucked

[pherai]

Pherai:didn't know you were friends of the ruthless guys, been reading that site for a few years and the forums are good for bm bands.


Just Mike from Hobart. He's a cool guy, and shares my attitude on Black Metal and Metal in general. You have to take it all with a grain of salt and have a sense of humor about it. That's my problem with most Metal fans is they turn a blind eye to all the silliness and homoeroticism in Metal and act like they are soldiers in some satanic crusade :rofl:

Haha yeah, LA metal shows for local bands is always more trouble than its worth unless you've got a good headlining act. Let me know next time you're headed to a show and we can have a beer together and make fun of LA metal ****.

Woah, you mean Sonata Arctica? Tell me when and I'm there!

[Gasp]

[Gasp]

[pherai]

Discordance Axis and Cryptopsy are allright. Do they count? I never got too much into grind.

[Sunn O)))]

Listening to a lot of Rotting Christ/Thou Art Lord lately. Good shit. Got Behemoth's "The Apostasy" in the CD player too. Highly recommended.

"Last week, guitarist VELVET REVOLVER/ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash was interviewed for the cover of a new Sam Ash catalog. In the interview Slash was quoted as saying, "I still think that [MEGADETH's] Dave Mustaine is an all-time genius heavy metal guitar player. He's amazing and he always picks great guitar players for his band. I don't know the name of the new one [Glen Drover] but he's really good."

Megadeth :pray::rock::rock:

I can't fucking wait until I get to see them on Tues. Can't.....fucking.....wait.

Especially since I hear they will be playing "Ashes in Your Mouth". GOD.

--------------------------

I wish Six Feet Under would tour more. I'm going to go see Cannibal Corpse on the 16th....meh. I've been wanting to see Barnes for a long time now.

[Fadedsun303]

Anyone else listened to the new Between the Buried and Me (Colors)?

Shit is being purchased on day 1...the last track is broken as fuck.

In total agreement. Best album I've heard in a long time.

[pherai]

Megadeth :pray::rock::rock:

I can't fucking wait until I get to see them on Tues. Can't.....fucking.....wait.


You either love Megadeth or you hate them, and I love them! Where are you seeing them?

It would be really great if Dave would do something with Marty, but I doubt he'd ever allow himself to do that.

[TheSix]

Hometown show - San Fran :looney:

This will be my 4th time seeing them(might as well be the first). You'll certainly never see Marty again :sad:

[Gasp]

i'd consider cryptopsy death metal.
but yea discordance axis fucking PRIMO grind, everything pre jouhou is a gold mine.
hypnotic guitar riffs, skull crushing blasting and screeching vocals thrown together with sudden rhythm changes in short pulses of music. i <3 discordance axis

[orochi_shin]

Gonna post this shit up. Hopefully you guys will get a kick out of it. And yeah that's me lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q6m2nIqJ88

[hawaiigamer142]

Superb stuff Orochi. I watched some of your other videos and I enjoyed myself. Bassist is a :tup: too.

[Shion]

Hey your boy Herman Li is pretty good.

On the subject of Megadeth, I've been blasting Burnt Ice a lot recently, good shit.

[EmptyJumpThrow]

dragonforce is sick overrated
same goes for immortal.
and dark throne, they had like what one good album

avantasia NEXT YEAR at waken open air festival
im learning german :D

i think his name is emptyjumpthrow but theres a really good dood here from ireland whos really sociable when it comes to metal.
i think he saw demilich too, fucking asshole ><


Haha, I'm from Ledyard, CT, U.S.A. sir. And that Demilich show never went down. I should have gone to Maryland Deathfest a couple years ago when I had the chance. So I never saw them. Shitty. Saw Testament last month for the first time though, and I gotta say that Chuck Billy may be the best frontman I've ever seen, except maybe Bruce Dickinson. I gotta run to work, but I guess I'll give a little metal input real quick. I have never been a fan of melodic death metal in the classical sense of the word (I like Vehemence some other real heavy bands that I would classify as melodic) but I have to admit that Amon Amarth has gotten some ridiculous play from me the last couple weeks.

Also, it is awesome to see some intelligent metal fans. Good to see some people understand what its all about. Its not about the lyrics revolving around rape and shit, its about the heaviness and the headbangable riffs and the community of metal brethren. I am so sick of going to shows and seeing asshole metal fans there who give people like me a bad name. Yeah I love to mosh, I headbang furiously, and I listen to some morally repugnant shit, but I'm a good guy who is just about having fun. I'll post up more often, sounds like there are some cool cats around here.




Listen to Foret Morte

[orochi_shin]

Superb stuff Orochi. I watched some of your other videos and I enjoyed myself. Bassist is a :tup: too.

Thanks a lot bro! Hopefully I'll have people ask me for more, and I'll keep doing it. I'll prolly go into arpeggios and legato on the next one :rofl:

[pherai]

I'd love to learn more pentatonic bullshit :rofl:

[Gorehound]

I'd rather have a bunch of black metal fanboys than a bunch of guys listening to Pantera and Metallica while thinking Iron Maiden is crap.

And Darkthrone does suck. I just use this shit as my avatar because Darkthrone has a sweet logo.


But Immortal....overrated? Those are some fighting words.

OH YEAH!!

You guys aren't the only ones here that are Black Metal fans :tup:

I still think Dimmu Borgay sucks!!

I'm a huge fan of legendary metal like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio and underground metal mostly!

IMMORTAL, I saw them live a few months ago and that show kicked so much ass, it sold out too :wow:

I saw Transmetal, Hirax, and Sadistic Intent on Sat. great show but the venue sucked!!

I'm anxiously waiting for news on the new Graveland album that is going to come out next year, the current one he had out was amazing :tup:

[orochi_shin]

I'd love to learn more pentatonic bullshit :rofl:

:rofl: Well I'll make sure to keep the pentatonic bullshit coming. If there's anything you guys would want to see on the next vid, don't be afraid to say so:wgrin:

[TheSix]

Dream Theatre and Opeth tour next year.

The fact that Opeth opens for DT sickens me. The only good thing about it is that I can get in and out.

And it's based off what? US Album sales? Bullshit.

The fact that Opeth opens for DT sickens me. The only good thing about it is that I can get in and out.

And it's based off what? US Album sales? Bullshit.Think of it this way: there are probably countless bedroom shredders who are into DT but have no idea who Opeth is, but you'd probably be hard-pressed to find somebody who's heard of Opeth and not DT. I base this assumption on nothing, of course.

Look at it this way: maybe DT will play some Liquid Tension Experiment stuff.

[Armo]

There was a "Power Metal" thread recently on srk, i guess i didnt pick up as well as i'd hoped, anyways, Slash giving respect to Dave Mustaine brought a big smile to my face (:smile:), Megadeth has always been one of my favorite American Metal Bands, cause to be honest I havent been big on American Metal lately, its all about European Power Metal!

Favs:
Blind Guardian(Nightfall FTW!!):rock:
Gamma Ray (Kai Hansen is the European counterpart to Mustaine)
Helloween
Rhapsody(of Fire)
Hammerfall is okay

[goodm0urning]

Mustaine deserves respect as a guitarist, but not for much else.

Some people consider Dio power metal. I don't know if I would, but hell... Dio is powerful.

[Armo]

Some people consider Dio power metal. I don't know if I would, but hell... Dio is powerful.

I saw Black Sabbath w/ Dio(Heaven and Hell) a few months back during the Reunion Tour, and after all these years they still sound great. Dio's voice hasn't really deteriorated over the years(unlike Ozzy), as for the Dio solo albums, i've only heard the first 2 albums(Holy Diver/Last in Line) which were pretty good, i dont know if their really power metal, i'd consider them straight forward Heavy Metal.

Its best show i've ever been to opening bands where Machine Head, and Megadeth!:rock:

[t1337Dude]

Rumor has it Mustaine banned someone from the Megadeth forums because that someone stated he was against Christianity.


Also, anyone into http://youtube.com/watch?v=tG2p3mswcu8? This is slowly becoming my favorite metal album of all time. It's funny having others listen to it thinking "it's just random guitars and drumming!".

[EmptyJumpThrow]

Haha, Obscura is a legendary underground album. And it is in fact awesome.



Saw Megadeth last night in Providence. Lost my phone. Got knocked around. Good stuff. Setlist was amazing, but I wish they had played something off Killing is my Business...

Namely "The Skull Beneath the Skin." Would have been so heavy live. That opening riff leading into the shredding...would have been something else. But the same effect was had with Hangar 18 and Peace Sells so what is there to complain about.

Must say though, Mustaine still looks at himself as quite the little rock star, haha. Everyone in the band holding hands and bowing at the end of the show, waiting 10 minutes before coming out for an encore. Dave, its just a club show buddy. Haha. Whatever. Megadeth rules.


Edit: To the guy listening to a lot of Rotting Christ lately, I am in the same boat. Those guys are not just a gimmicky band name, they kick ass. I'm seeing them in February with Immolation and Belphegor. Saw Belphegor last year with Unleashed and Krisiun. Solid show. "Lucifer Incestus" is up there with my favorite live songs ever.

[TheSix]

Mustaine deserves respect as a guitarist, but not for much else.


Considering it is thrash, being a respected guitarist is ya know.....kind of a big deal. Everyone knows who Slash is. Him giving props to Dave like that is long overdue IMO.

I went to that too, twas' awesome.

They were rehearsing "Skull" and "Ashes in Your Mouth" for this tour, but Glen said it's not ready yet and they want them to be close to be perfect. I neglected looking at the setlist before going to the SF show 2 weeks ago thinking they would play Ashes...didn't happen. Ah well.

[EmptyJumpThrow]

^ ^ ^ ^ ^

Maybe I shouldn't tell you that they played "Ashes in Your Mouth" last night...


But they did.


My humblest apologies.
