Today I'm digging North's "The Great Silence" (http://galacticdads.bandcamp.com/ also on spotify, emusic, etc.). I'm not so good at the genre dance, but these dudes don't want to stay in one genre, either. Drone/sludge/atmospheric/post-rock*/technical/math-prog. With tiny little dashes of blues and goth, and I dunno, probably polka. Well, maybe not polka.

Was reading a Blabbermouth post about Suicide Silence and in the last paragraph it mentioned they're looking for a new label. Had no idea Century Media had dropped them.

Considering Century Media's current desperate situation and Suicide Silence's popularity, I suspect it's the other way around…

I don't know if they're in trouble, per se, but they've really been casting about for an identity and trying to find bands that can explode like Lacuna Coil and Shadows Fall did back in the mid-2000's (how else do you explain Vampires Everywhere?). Suicide Silence was one of their flagship bands and biggest sellers, they wouldn't drop them.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 3 September 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that they were going to be shutting their doors or anything. They just really seem to have lost their way and they're desperately trying to find their way back.
― Hamster of Legend (J3ff T.), Monday, 3 September 2012 17:38 (eleven years ago) link
I expect they might be going to a big major deal? Awful band anyway.

Monte left Roadrunner when the label had their huge upheaval a few months back and he almost immediately hooked up with Nuclear Blast:

And speaking about metal A&R guys moving on...
MIKE GITTER JOINS THE RAZOR & TIE A&R TEAM (New York, NY) – Razor & Tie is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with longtime A&R vet, Mike Gitter. With a rich history that includes tenures at Roadrunner and Atlantic Records, signing highly successful and cutting edge bands such as Killswitch Engage, Bad Religion, Opeth, Megadeth, and Dragonforce, Mike brings a wealth of knowledge and know-how that will continue expand Razor & Tie’s already burgeoning rock, alternative and metal footprint in the market place. Razor & Tie Head of A&R Pete Giberga comments, "Mike brings to the table serious A&R chops and a level of expertise that we find critical to our success as a company. I couldn't be happier that someone with his vision, creativity and credibility is going to be a part of our team." Gitter adds, “Razor & Tie is already a growing force in the world of cutting edge music. It has an energy and vitality that only happens once in the evolution of a company – and it’s a privilege to be asked to be part of it.” He continues, “I have a personal history with Pete Giberga and SVP of Marketing John Franck that goes back many years. There’s a respect we have for each other built out of watching each other careers. We’re music people first and foremost." Gitter will be taking on A&R responsibilities that will encompass not merely his skills in identifying talent but all-around aspects of A&R including helping to identify talent, signing and record making. Mike will also be involved with Razor & Tie’s expanding palette of business ventures. While Gitter has been actively working for labels since 1993, he has also honed his skills as a journalist and artist manager. Gitter will be based out of Los Angeles, CA.

thought I'd come in here at some point to say that the Spawn of Possession album is fucking awesome, pretty perfect example of how to do death metal that's in the "we have pro tools now and we want our shit precise" style but still has some feeling -- but evidently I didn't. well, this record is one of the few metal records I've heard this year that does anything at all for me. good good stuff

Just got the tour dates for Lamb of God. It says that HELLYEAH is playing the second leg of the tour but specifically notes they will not be playing the Columbus date at LC Pavilion. Not that I would blame him, but has Vinnie Paul gone on the record that he won't play there again?

Bummed that the whole previous Lamb etc tour got cancelled when Randy Blythe was stuck in the Czech can, man. Glad he's free, but I'd have been just as likely to see Dethklok minus LOG. Anyway, here's The Gathering's new album, streaming on Bandcamp:http://thegathering.bandcamp.com/

Listened to the new Sword album this morning. It's good, but it's not the leap forward that Warp Riders was after Gods of the Earth; more of a holding pattern. The cover art (which I've only seen one place) is awesome, though.
― 誤訳侮辱, Thursday, 6 September 2012 13:47 (eleven years ago) link
Hey, even a holding pattern is encouraging, I really liked Warp Riders. While I was perusing the bins at my local yesterday, I see that Earache is re-releasing a bunch of reissues for dirt cheap. I picked up three Decapitation reissues, brand new, for $8 a pop but I also saw they had a handful of Carcass reissues for the same price. I'd be thrilled if this was a trend, $8 for a reissue would be great.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 6 September 2012 13:51 (eleven years ago) link
I liked Warp Riders a lot too, and I'm actually thinking about buying the deluxe 2CD version of this album, since it comes with four live tracks from a SXSW show I was at and a cover of ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses."
