Post subject: update WORSHIP Last Vinyl Before Doomsday 10th Ann. LPPostPosted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:53 pm Just to give an update on the Worship "Last Vinyl Before Doomsday" 10th Anniversary reissue on LP. The vinyl is late. The cover and the inner sleeves are here (and look great), but we just got the test pressings (which sound great) so it will be another 2-3 weeks. Sorry but we are at the mercy of the pressing plant, who is slow these days.Thanks to everyone who has already pre-ordered it. We will be including a free CD with each order. If you'd like to pre-order it (which means it will be shipped to you as soon as we get them) go to http://www.myspace.com/doommantrarecords and there is a link to order with paypal. it is $15 plus shipping.For those who ordered the Colossloth LP, it will be here at the same time as the Worship.

Listening to a stream of the new Voivod. ( http://www.voivodinfini.info/ )I'm really digging it. What do the rest of you think?Tried a search but can't find any threads on it.
― steampig67, Thursday, 25 June 2009 15:29 (fifteen years ago) link
I have tried and tried but have finally resigned myself to the fact that Voivod does nothing for me.
Currently revisiting Cryptopsy's Once Was Not.
― unperson, Thursday, 25 June 2009 16:27 (fifteen years ago) link
I thought Katorz was Voivod's best album since Nothingface, but Infini goes even further. Plus the production is a little better this time. "Destroy After Reading" and "Volcano", those are the two knockouts in my opinion.
I'm devastated their tour is skipping my province.

I wasn't expecting much but it floored me on first listen.Seems like the spotlight continues to escape them.

Listening to the three new Saviours 7"s (I believe the A-sides will all be on the next album, while the B-sides - which include covers of Saxon's "Fire in the Sky" and Judas Priest's "Running WIld") are exclusives. The Priest cover sounds more like Di'Anno-era Maiden, actually, but all six tracks are noisy, dirty Motörhead/Venom punk-thrash-rawk.

That sounds awesome, I've ben looking forward to those singles.
― A. Begrand, Friday, 26 June 2009 00:50 (fifteen years ago) link
I can't see how Katorz is better than the self-titled on any level. But I'm a pretty obsessive Voivod fan. This discussion probably deserves its own thread.
Phil--really? Not even Nothingface, Dimension Hatross, or Killing Technology?
Phobos is their other great work that is sadly overlooked by most.
― Nate Carson, Friday, 26 June 2009 04:39 (fifteen years ago) link
Herman--thanks for the Worship link. I need that!
I just dug the more streamlined, insistent, catchy aspect of Katorz a lot. Of course all that was due to the fact that the arrangements on Piggy's final 23 songs were rather skeletal, they had no way to fine-tune those songs and add those proggy elements that they normally did. But in the end it's something that I feel worked extraordinarily well.

the lack of interest in the appearance of gzeus in the decibel letters section proves that there is a surprising disconnect between dudes on ilx that A) love metal and B) love video games

that I do believe

haha the fact that I also can't stop listening to a mariah carey remix is also documented, which I thought would be funnier on a metal thread. but srsly, I was listening to ahab on my ipod at work. this will be scrobbled in due time and become a matter of public record.

I even downloaded the MP3. I don't know what exactly this says about me or the song. Maybe it's that I enjoy pop songs when they are actually songs instead of weird non-musical robot beeps? Or maybe it's that the vocals don't matter to me at all as long as the backing track is cool. I would listen to an entire album like this.

(Here's a cross-post from the Encyclopaedia Metallum forum, as it might amuse this audience differently...)
Here is a statistical answer to the eternal question of which subgenres of metal are better than which others. I took the ~2500 bands covered by my similarity analysis, got their listed "genre(s)" from EM, and then for all the frequently-mentioned genre words, calculated the number of bands whose genre description includes that word, and the average of all reviews of all albums by bands with that word. Here, then, is the ranking to settle things.
word Rating BandsViking 85.365 37Funeral 84.788 37Stoner 84.527 30Avant-Garde 84.004 29Atmospheric 83.965 44Folk 83.413 91Epic 83.305 31Doom 83.235 250Progressive 82.642 180Sludge 82.247 49Traditional 82.048 52Brutal 81.392 110Speed 81.235 107Grindcore 81.21 68Power 80.391 280Black 80.225 715Heavy 79.908 213Metal 79.809 2213Symphonic 79.712 60Hard 79.689 33Gothic 79.574 66Death 79.53 761Thrash 78.815 394Grind 78.638 59Industrial 78.513 47Technical 78.492 69Rock 78.464 95Ambient 78.432 70Dark 78.159 40Experimental 77.749 34Melodic 77.486 206Groove 67.721 40Metalcore 65.34 48

I think I might actually end up liking the new Divine Heresy album. Go figure. The new singer sounds a bit like Devin Townsend.

The new Killswitch is only okay, in my opinion. They're good at what they do, but the new record isn't anything extraordinary. When it comes to recent melodeath/metalcore, All That Remains have trounced KsE with their last two albums, in my opinion.

As I said in Alternative Press (and on my blog, it's a holding action. I've never been a fan, but existing fans will like it just fine.

It seems like at this point that they've settled into a comfortable groove of putting out totally solid but safe records.

Okay, I listened to the new Moss disc this morning for an AMG review, and while the first three tracks are typical Moss, the fourth track won me over - Discharge's "Maimed and Slaughtered" stretched from 65 seconds to six minutes. Hilariously awesome.
