Rolling Metal 2016

Hammers of Misfortune is p much my ideal of metal
but
feel like the singing could be a little stronger maybe?

oh wow they cover a Dylan song off Self-Portrait

(I think I got this email coz I've bought releases from Furia and Voidhanger previously -- not a blanket endorsement of everything, but there's some cool stuff)

For sure, but that's an issue with a lot of modern metal in a lot of genres (there are a ton of hacky thrash shouters/screechers right now for instance). It's really hard to get me to like clean singing so when a dude lays back a little bit it at least doesn't bother me.

Friday is your last day to vote in

thy catafalque album was supposed to be out tomorrow but has been put back 2 weeks according to an email I got from amazon.

new lamniformes:

Rotting Christ's new stuff sucks but they're great guys and the material works well enough live as fun beer metal.

i think norma jean qualifies for this thread right? their new album is incredible

Metalcore?

i mean yeah but more converge/every time i die than what you're thinking

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzsy9R0qbPI

its as valid as anything else afaic its not like Zombi or Om are metal but we all write about them here

I d/l the Thy Catafalque album as im pissed off at the 2 week delay and its quite superb. If ypu like the last couple it wont disappoint

sometimes i just post about metalcore in the emo thread lol

haha, I suppose tbh that's more likely to be the audience for it but you do have a habit of making me want to check out horrible albums you like just because of how you write about it, lol

^new board description

So i bought a ticket to see Blind Guardian tonight not realizing they are playing IFTOS in its entirety. *gasp*

one day i might even like one of them

xp

omg

Yea im stoked

so that BG show was beaten by only Iron Maiden this year. if you miss this one you're an asshole IMO.

ok not really but go check it out

Do you guys like Repulsion and early Master? Do you like Finland? Do you like free demos?

man if you were a car salesman I'd have just driven off the lot with an entire row of vehicles

new Bolzer track: https://soundcloud.com/bolzer/i-am-iii

first listen not necessarily amazed

I like it but it hasn't hooked me as quickly as their EPs. But I'll give it some time.

Only two weeks until the new Asphyx Incoming Death comes out. At this point there are no original members left, but they'll probably sound exactly like they always do. There's also a US tour coming in April.

They put up one of the short uptempo tunes as a teaser:

I hadn't realized they were down to MvD as sole original-ish member (being on the first official album)... wow. Looking forward to the new one.

New Meshuggah video. I really like the chromatic solo on this.

The new Dysrhythmia album "The Veil Of Control" is now streaming in full over at Clrvynt prior to its Sept 23 release date.

http://clrvynt.com/dysrhythmia-the-veil-of-control/

Really looking forward to that one.

Black Sabbath's Paranoid is being reissued as a 4CD "Super Deluxe Edition" in November - it includes the 2012 remaster, a 1974 quadraphonic mix (that's been "folded down to stereo," which seems like it would kinda defeat the purpose to me), and two full live shows from 1970, one widely bootlegged but newly remastered from original tapes and one never before released. Full details in the Rolling Reissues thread.

Apparently Nahash have been laboring away in Lithuania for more than 20 years without producing a full length album? And now they have, and I think it's pretty keen. Black metal with lots of fast palm mute chugging over stately, sometimes vaguely classical-feeling melodies largely established by string/dense choral arrangements. A few soundscape interludes help establish a sense of spaciousness, a handful of show-offy leads demonstrate proggy chops, and there are a few thornier bits on offer (the end of "March Funebre" has a 4-note "solo" that's positively Slint-y).

This is about as metal as GYBE/ASMZ but the latest Wrekmeister Harmonies is terrific.

ok this is maybe a long shot, but the memory of this collective has better better than mine many times before, so ...

looking for the band behind a youtube clip that was widely circulated a couple few years back. young women (like, high-school young?) I THINK from South America playing I THINK a "Justice-era 'tallica cover and really kinda kicking ass at it.

(because somebody sent me this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OegCtXhWc4g if you wonder)

New releases by Ghost and High Spirits today. I've played the High Spirits album once, and it's the usual, simple and infectious.

Poll finishes today. we're almost in the top 10

thx for High Spirits headsup, didn't know about that one

There's a new Ehnahre EP out today. It's really good.

https://ehnahremetal.bandcamp.com/album/nothing-and-nothingness

Oh, and there's a new Attila song:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_H1I63FkUeY

^^ band is still 100 percent reprehensible

Showcasing the two opposite ends of metal right there

The vandalized parental advisory label is so good.

I don't like Attila as much as I love Emmure, but I still like 'em. Fronz knows his audience and he gives 'em what they want, same as the dudes in Dream Theater or Agalloch or whoever else.

idk seems like they're racists and misogynists to me

woah edgy chorus

why do they keep showing the Eurasianist Youth Movement logo? Are they fighting for the freedom of Novorossia?

I wondered what happened to the drummer of Kenickie

Nox Formulae album is good. Like you know later Watain, Blaze of Perdition, Der Weg Einer Freiheit? Like that but better and with memorable songs, and very few of those bullshit post-Ministry, lazy power chord riffs said bands base entire songs around.

Khanus - Rites of Fire EP
https://khanus.bandcamp.com/releases

Debut EP from Finnish death metal band. Hard to pin a style on this, though I would quickly recommend to the folks who dug the Cadaveric Fumes EP. Non-cavernous, guitar figures that I'm not sure I've heard in death metal, or really anywhere else outside of, like, Euro-folk. Playful occult/psychedelic DM?

That's pretty good. I want an album.
