I have not minded Mastodon's live vocals in the past. And I'm sure all things are possible in the studio.
But live, on this tour, with this material, it's just embarrassing.

I've got the pre-master of the new YOB record. Sanford recorded it. Another fucking masterpiece. Get ready.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 02:19 (fifteen years ago) link
oh yeah? curiosity piqued.
and what would you consider their best? haven't listened to those guys in years.

Got a pile of the latest Paradigms CD-Rs (Decrepit Spectre, Fog In The Shell, Old Mayor and Bosnia) the other day, really enjoying the doom/black Bosnia album a lot. I know Kerr buys from them, anyone else?

ok this is def more of the drone/stoner/whatever instrumental non-tru-kult-metal side of things but wanted to throw Gay Witch Abortion (from my hometown) into the mix here. not the best off the new album, but its on youtube so you dont even have to leave the page to check it out.
ordered their LP from Relapse on the strength of this. It FUCKING KICKS ASS. Oh my GOD. Minneapolis BRINGIN IT. So fucking good!!!!

Awesome! it is just a great great record - if you end up with some free time next time you are through mpls you should see them live - watching the drummer play is maybe as much fun as hearing him.

What are Motorhead like live these days? I got a ticket to see them with the Damned & Girlschool at Hammersmith Apollo this autumn, which is a great line-up for me.
― I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE UP TO (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 29 April 2009 20:28 (fifteen years ago) link
Motorhead's as good these days as they've ever been.
That is a great-looking show, alright. It's just begging for a Headgirl reunion.
― A. Begrand, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 20:46 (fifteen years ago) link
I dreamed I went to a Motorhead concert a few months ago. It was really good, but if my dream's anything to go by, you'll really, really need earplugs.

xpost: Aldo, hadn't heard of Paradigms Recordings, looks like a really interesting label. Will investigate. Faves this year are the NL Irrwisch and Striborg has suddenly clicked - his DVD is fucking amazing. Nearest non-BM equivalents would be the Residents or The Fall.
― Soukesian, Wednesday, 29 April 2009 21:33 (fifteen years ago) link
Cheers, will investigate.

Here's Irrwisch - Cello-based Black metal. Doesn't start blasting until three minutes in, but it's well worth the wait:

xpost - Alan, my favorite YOB is The Unreal Never Lived. I'm not including the new album in my vote because it's not yet mastered and I haven't played it enough times.
I go way back with these guys, having discovered them via their demo. I set up every YOB show outside of Eugene, OR ever. The title track from Catharsis is one of my favorite tunes but the drumming and production on the subsequent albums is so much better that I tend to think they just got better with each release.
Simply put: if you like any YOB, you need all of it.
― Nate Carson, Thursday, 30 April 2009 00:47 (fifteen years ago) link
ok both of those youtubes are selling me for sure. thanks soukesian!
― ***OSCARBAITS FURIOUSLY*** (jjjusten), Thursday, 30 April 2009 05:50 (fifteen years ago) link
xpost - thanks, nate! I'll definitely be digging deeper into the yob catalog sometime soon.

so, this yob album (the unreal never lived) is pretty killer. I especially like the non-growly vox. remind me of of dio and king diamond at times! wish they were used more.
opening track is pretty amazing.
so yeah, now I'm pretty excited for this new one too!
― original bgm, Friday, 1 May 2009 14:43 (fifteen years ago) link
Catharsis is my fave. I finally got it on vinyl when kreation rereleased it.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Friday, 1 May 2009 15:17 (fifteen years ago) link
will check that one out too.
― original bgm, Friday, 1 May 2009 15:42 (fifteen years ago) link
The new YOB is really monumental. I'm going to try and sit down and blog about it soon.
― Nate Carson, Friday, 1 May 2009 19:36 (fifteen years ago) link
i've only listened once so far, but the new coalesce is kicking my ass.
― borntohula, Friday, 1 May 2009 23:07 (fifteen years ago) link
The new Voivod is killer. Much heavier than Katorz, more lurching cadences, loads of great riffs from the immortal Piggy, and some really cool vocal work from Snake, a little more aggression and malevolence from the guy. "Destroy After Reading" is my early fave so far.
― A. Begrand, Saturday, 2 May 2009 05:53 (fifteen years ago) link
'Cauldron' the second album by Tasmanian Black Metal sorts Ruins is getting a European release soon. The drumming is fierce for people who like that kind of thing.
― Doran, Saturday, 2 May 2009 14:21 (fifteen years ago) link
Apparently they are only sending out advances for the new Sunn O))) in vinyl. Keeping it real, for sure.
New Devin Townsend record is... weird. Very understated.
And if Ian Christe is still reading this, I read through Sound of the Beast on the (never-Goddamn-ending)plane ride back from France, and I enjoyed it. Filled in some gaps in my knowledge. For future reference, though, "The Music of Erich Zahn" is a Lovecraft reference, so while it isn't a great album title, it's not that strange in that context.

you could actually listen to that devin townsend thing? how long did you last?
― scott seward, Thursday, 7 May 2009 00:11 (fifteen years ago) link
I'm on track four right now. Reviewing it for Decibel, so I have to listen through the whole thing. I mean, it's Devin Townsend, I was expecting weird, I just wasn't expecting this particular brand of weird.
― don't cry, emo hamster (J3ff T.), Thursday, 7 May 2009 00:15 (fifteen years ago) link

weird considering that theres no plans for vinyl initially(SL use the horrible ploy of bringing vinyl out much much later so that everyone who wants vinyl but cant wait a year to hear the album will buy the cd then the vinyl when it comes out)
No doubt they will all end up on ebay to gouge the fans, (jeff, i'll have yours :) )
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 7 May 2009 00:15 (fifteen years ago) link
New Voivod is still awesome.
The new album by that Suicide Silence band is a festering pile of suck. Century Media's throwing their biggest amount of hype behind this?
Townsend's solo stuff is getting a little too loopy lately. I miss SYL.
And at the risk of obliterating any semblance of cred I might have had, I may be the only one here who will admit to liking Iwrestledabearonce. But I am enjoying the new album, I won't deny that.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 7 May 2009 00:55 (fifteen years ago) link
Unfortunately, it seems like Townsend has left the metal realm for good and struck out for parts unknown.
― don't cry, emo hamster (J3ff T.), Thursday, 7 May 2009 01:25 (fifteen years ago) link
Yeah, that Suicide Silence thing isn't doing much for me. The new Hacride is pretty swell, though. And the new Funeral Mist disc is great. First black metal record I've really liked in what feels like forever. The new Blood Tsunami is a disappointment; the short songs are okay, in a blatant Slayer- and Destruction-ripoff kinda way, but there's an eight-minute one, a ten-minute one, and a twelve-minute one, and that's just absurd.
― unperson, Thursday, 7 May 2009 01:58 (fifteen years ago) link
Absolutely, that Funeral Mist album is incredible. The artwork on that thing is something else, too.
― A. Begrand, Thursday, 7 May 2009 02:07 (fifteen years ago) link
hey, we all like the new hacride album, let's hug!
― scott seward, Thursday, 7 May 2009 02:10 (fifteen years ago) link
Hugging isn't very metal.
― don't cry, emo hamster (J3ff T.), Thursday, 7 May 2009 02:16 (fifteen years ago) link
Hacride aren't very metal <winking thing> they recommended me some goats cheese last week.
― Doran, Thursday, 7 May 2009 12:54 (fifteen years ago) link
i'm actually digging the hatebreed covers album. i don't usually have much time for covers albums. you had to figure that they were gonna pick songs with cool intros or good beefy riffs or massive breakdowns or songs with all three and they did. and then made them even beefier.
― scott seward, Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:29 (fifteen years ago) link
Beef, however, is undeniably metal.

― scott seward, Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:49 (fifteen years ago) link
I think that there should be a new genre called meatcore, where the lyrical content revolves entirely around meat. And not in the Carcass, disgusting way, but about how awesome beef is to eat and possibly bathe in.
― don't cry, emo hamster (J3ff T.), Thursday, 7 May 2009 13:52 (fifteen years ago) link
