I can't stop listening to that Katy Perry power metal remix...

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.

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

Does anyone have the new Killswitch Engage yet? And is it worth buying?

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.
― A. Begrand, Monday, 29 June 2009 21:24 (fifteen years ago) link
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.
― unperson, Monday, 29 June 2009 21:31 (fifteen years ago) link
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.

I ordered the new Woburn House cd from Paradigm Recordings yesterday. Hadn't realised that I hadn't heard much of the last years output by the label.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 30 June 2009 14:35 (fifteen years ago) link
I was swithering about that, because I wasn't all that bothered about the first one.
Hit me up if you want to try any of last year's releases. (Is it just Bosnia I sent you?)

Bosnia and Old Mayor it was.I liked the 1st Woburn House a lot so I thought id order this one. Monorailmusic haven't been getting in any of the latest releases.

Anyway, I'm really digging the new 3 Inches of Blood. Endino really plays up the old school metal, the album's really rough around the edges, which is cool ("All of Them Witches" is an awesome song title). And the more Cam Pipes goes on, the more he's starting to sound like Udo Dirkschneider...he's got quite the plegm vibrato going on this record, which is quite surreal at times.
― A. Begrand, Tuesday, 30 June 2009 22:55 (fifteen years ago) link
"All of Them Witches" = Rosemary's Baby?

So--at the YOB show in SF, Will Haven was main support. It was Grady's first show back as lead singer (not sure how often this is happening). They were STAGGERINGLY good. So fucking heavy and powerful. Everyone should listen to "Saga" off Carpe Diem right now.
― Nate Carson, Wednesday, 1 July 2009 06:26 (fifteen years ago) link
"all of them witches" was a song on the stark naked album in 1971... this isn't a cover, is it?
― next stop: NOWHERE, i wanna get off (GOTT PUNCH II HAWKWINDZ), Wednesday, 1 July 2009 06:34 (fifteen years ago) link
Nope, not a cover. That track does sound cool, though (listening now).
