Rolling Metal Thread 2012

please keep the discussion off this thread and do it on What kind of EOY Metal Poll do you want this year?

so this thread can run as normal thanks.

There's a new Pig Destroyer video. Does anyone like it?

I dig the distinctly un-metal styling. Also, monkeys with guns - what's not to like?

I like a hundred plus poll 'cause it gets me outta my metal comfort zone to try new earth shakin' tunes...

can you say that on the other thread please. Best to keep it off this thread so you dont annoy others.

Here's this week's Lazarus Pit, not metal at all but close enough: http://www.decibelmagazine.com/featured/the-lazarus-pit-midnight-syndicates-born-of-the-night/

Is there a new Cauldron album coming out?

There is! http://open.spotify.com/album/1oDZtKLf6PMDwSuoRs9cEW

At my job I've been working on generating automatic introduction playlists for arbitrary genres of music. Here are a couple I did in the process of fiddling with the code:

Gothic Symphonic Metal: http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/1s6DGJAFH8vA1LHFkQnrTU
Black Metal: http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/7b10dwILeYCI8D5KJfUdZp

Got one for doom?

Doom: http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/72BfNj0kefmNpIcEtRnJcv

I generated and posted that without checking it song by song, so let me know if you spot anything egregiously inappropriate.

thanks!
A couple of borderline things maybe but nothing major

Funeral Doom: http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/5QMc6xIa7x3uNpA6V8xk9G

As you'll see, this has plenty of overlap with the plain "Doom" list, but that makes sense.

thanks!

Hi Glenn. If you don't mind me asking, how are you automating the content of these playlists?

And, by request, Atmospheric Black Metal: http://open.spotify.com/user/glennpmcdonald/playlist/3p6x9xQv5aR46SFULNg61x

Raoul, I work for http://the.echonest.com.

the band Weedeater that opened for Saint Vitus was one of the loudest bands i've ever seen, way louder than swans who i saw last year

Weedeater is boss. I totally need to see them live.

"the band Weedeater"

Hey roxy I think Beast in the Field has put an album out or is about to put an album out. Have you heard it yet?

its coming out in january. cd, no vinyl til march. i've only heard one track - doesnt seem like a big departure, still the same ol' world-ending doom, really good.

also i cant believe this is their 5th album. time flies.

Right on

Glenn that must be a fun job. I've never heard of echonest but it looks like i use your clients. Well, Spotify at least.

oh cool new weedeater

wait what?

anyways, something else that's boss: Aluk Todolo

it is!

I can hear the Fushitsusha/Can vibe described upthread, but you could also say it sounds like a drone-metal variant of this year's Beak> album

(which is def one more way to restate p much everything else that's been said in this thread about this album)

Hey guys. Pig Destroyer live - Y/N?

"the band Weedeater"

sorry if i phrased this wrong or something, they were a band that i saw open for saint vitus roxy

Hey guys. Pig Destroyer live - Y/N?

A huge Y!

like honestly i always feel like you think i'm a shithead roxy for posting anything in the metal thread, i didn't know the band i guess :/

i think you should post more in here!

Hey guys. Pig Destroyer live - Y/N?

A huge Y!

I spoke too soon, the tickets are way too expensive. Fuck Ticketmaster. I'm going to see Lotus Fucker the next day anyway.

am i always a shithead to you here? that would be a huge surprise cause i almost never post here. def not my intention, i just thought it sounded funny cause they are so huge. no offense meant

ok it's cool, i dunno i get the sense u think i'm really dumb or something, probably just me, no worries

i saw pig d at deathfest a few years ago, they were really good live and made me a believer. didnt really care for them before that

xp definitely do not think you are dumb!

I really liked Weedeater's last album Jason...the Dragon a lot

can't get with the vocals myself, or the shot on last.fm of the lead singer dude being sick on himself.

that's like, his "thing"

I'm far too squeamish to be trv kvlt, it would seem

xxpost - sorry for any non-metal sensitivness itt :)

I thought it was funny.. Weedeater the band.. as oppose to Weedeater the carpenter, or Weedeater the Ice Dancer..

Shit, what happened to stonerobixxx? Sad if they got shut down, he'd recently shifted the focus to just unsigned bands and I enjoyed a lot of what they'd been featuring lately. Hope it comes back.

In truth, Weedeater the band is only the second most metal thing named ”Weedeater”
