the occasional thread for mean, nasty, ugly, evil metal that doesn't smell good and that takes itself way too seriously

fucking GUITAR SOLOS up in this bitch, proper stuff

i love the first two agnostic front albums too. cause for alarm is so awesome. wish i still had a copy. it's been so long since i heard the third album. i don't think i hated it. it was metallic, i remember that.

It was metallic but in a really feeble and powerless way. Like a lot of crossover. Even good crossover stuff like DRI and COC has songs that just fall flat and 3rd AF is a whole album of that.

I'm not a big crossover fan though, in general.

I tend to like "proper" hardcore punk, or thrash metal, much more than most attempts to combine the two.

I like Cryptic Slaughter a lot. And Dead Horse.

this hacavitz is the shit. drummer is just going nuts. i love that they recorded it as a duo. very very cool album so far.

honestly, this is probably my favorite crossover album of all time and i know people who HATE it with a passion:

i mean, i can't even tell you how many times i've played that album. 500 times? i do love dri, but my love for their early days knows no bounds.

i guess i wasn't really that much of a skate punk fan in the 80's. speaking of which, Mcrad have a new album out.

i took to thrash like a fish to water though.

I've never heard that SSD album. I'm not a huge fan of theirs though, compared to other Boston bands like DYS, Jerry's Kids, Negative FX, Freeze etc.

Hacavitz album is definitely my pick of the week. great black/death action. great riffs. insane drummer. gnarly solos. punk energy and feel. total sweetness. oh, and completely fugly.

"i guess i wasn't really that much of a skate punk fan in the 80's."

although i loved jfa with a passion. there are always exceptions.

You've motivated me to look for How We Rock now. Partly because it's so hated by hardcore punkers!

xpost I'm not a big skate punk fan at all but I do dig JFA and Ill Repute (amongst others)

this might be the first punk record i bought where i thought to myself at the time, hey, this sounds like metal!

not all of it, but the songs ngri and flossing with an e string especially.

hey, col. poo, have you heard daymares or sss? i have to review their new albums. on the punk tip and all.

oh wait i lied i'm not reviewing the sss. though i like the sss album. i am reviewing the new toxic bonkers album though.

Fueled by Fire are boring as shit live. Saw them open for, I think, Municipal Waste, who admittedly will make any band seem boring, but they were still pretty damn boring. Did I mention that they're boring?

SSS, on the other hand, are totally awesome.

Fueled by Fire just signed to Metal Blade, so I don't know what that says about metal blade in 2007.

Although I did like the Middian album, which is doom but doesn't smell good at all.

More dollar death:

Also on Grind Core, cover art also by Cradle of Filth dude. Apparently Tipper Gore didn't like these guys in the 80s, but this one is from 1992, with the main guy and some scabs. Crap production (obviously), but it's actually pretty tuneful. The local used record store has tons of Grind Core releases in the dollar bin.

i think the tipper gore hated impaler was the other one, the silly american one.

yeah, this is the tipper Impaler:

that combat debut has such a great cover. wish i had a copy. tipper gore. i still can't get over that name. so perfect.

i really like this band a lot. they sound like DRI. and they have a song on this album about Capenter's "The Thing" called..."The Thing".

Antarctica winter 1982 research was going steady, And there was nothing much to do
In the distance a lone wolf flees, But no one knows the carnage that this animal will bring
VIOLENE UNFOLDS
Assaulted by Norwegian guests theyll have to die like all the rest
SEARCHING THROUGH SNOW
Discovering the frozen corpse of something thats not of this earth
THE CREATURE COMES FORTH
An evil makes its presence known attempting to create a clone
NOWHERE TO GO
And something grim is at hand something in this arctic land
The Thing, No one knows the hell it will bring
Its got you from the inside, Its taking over your life
Intensions so unexplained, Until the gets a hold of your brain
Hiding till the damage is done, Killing them off one by one
The sense of fear begins to grow, and no one has protection from this dangerous infection
Their fates in the hands of the unknown, and nerves are quickly blowing while the thing is steadily growing
Whom to trust theyll never now
And nothing can contain a creature of the unexplained
Half the crews dead more to go
Somehow its got to stop and now McReady's getting pissed off
Now theres nothing left to do
Discovering whose human is what this final test will prove
Deadly results are what this test brings
But its the final hope to unveil this gruesome being
VIOLENCE UNFOLDS
The test was the solution now its time for execution
SEARCHING THROUGH SNOW
And now Blair is the last Thing left Hell fight until his dying breath
THE CREATURE COMES FORTH
But this will be the final clash and kills it with a giant blast
NOWHERE TO GO
Our heros fate is finally sealed
The camp is lost The Thing is killed (or is it?)

new album coming out any day now:

http://www.facethewaste.com/aopbig.jpg

awesome.

Impaler do a song called "Black Leather Monster." Is that a cover of The Plasmatics' song on Metal Priestess?

I did a paper on the PMRC in high school and picked the NASTIEST lyrics I could find to quote. I think the winner was a song called "Golden Showers" (I think) by The Mentors. Something about leaving a shit tower on someone's face. It felt sooooooo good writing the phrase "shit tower" in a formal high school paper. My teacher wrote "yuk!" in the margins. I got an A.

lol @ non-zombie regular party shenanigans on far left xpost

All Music said that they were the same Impaler! THEY LIED!

I blame Ned.

the new Blood Freak album on Razorback btw, while not taking itself too seriously (Razorback's kind of a mondo sorta label), is great - good riffs & freaking incredible tone on the solos

troo n0rvegian blek metle

this is my riff of the day:

i like it. i'd never heard whitehorse before. they do the ugly epic doom thing very well. i might like that monarch! double cd on crucial blast more though. maybe.

You might still be able to pick up the 2nd and 3rd live cdrs of Whitehorse(the 1st one is on that 20 buck spin cd).
The Monarch is great. Compiles two vinyl releases and a tour single. Also pick up the 1st double cd "666". It's killer!

Thrash from Colombia:

i'm sad that oystein doesn't feel the grim anymore :(
Yes, it's all very terrible. I actually traded my copy of Countess' "Ad maiorem smashing superhits" for a Ruins record this weekend. What has become of me!

(on the plus side, I did hold the fire hire last night be enjoying some fine Sabbat - Satanasword action). Not very mean, nasty, ugly, evil METAL though. Just fun and metal. Maybe a bit evil, eh.)

this is exciting music to me. go israel!

other cool stuff on the label:

http://www.myspace.com/poochlatz

http://www.myspace.com/mildew666

http://www.myspace.com/cadavereyes

(and the three albums i got are guitar-free! of the six-string variety anyway.)

is there any point to providing myspace links to stuff? i'm just curious. is it helpful? do people actually check stuff out? i do if it really seems like something i would like. i just wonder if its a waste of time.

These are the kind of people one might see at the guitar store, the music store or anywhere else for that matter and think to oneself, "Man, what a dipshit! Grow up, retard."

Then, one might go home and put on their album and say, "Damn, these guys ROCK!"

xp

i check them out if the description sounds interesting. like later i intend to dig graves in the sky cause that sounds like my bag.

anyway... does kreator count for this thread circa "coma of souls?" i just rebought it on cd and it's pretty killer. but around this point they're starting to look less like guys who'd get arrest for breaking beer bottles in a cemetary and more like guys who paint houses for a living and get arrested for having one spindly weed plant in their back window.

the grave in the sky album is soooooooooooooooo good.

you can certainly talk about kreator here. and sodom and destruction if you'd like.

I don't listen to myspace stuff no, and it's not 'cause I'm a snob - it's 'cause the player doesn't feed to my speakers, and that's how I wanna hear stuff

i just wish everyone could hear how friggin' massive the actual grave in the sky cd is. so loud. seriously, i can't even put the volume up halfway, i'd break my speakers. i love how they get the psychedelic element right in their doom. so hypnotic. and so fierce.

Sometimes it appears as if everyone who likes evil etc metal in the world (and even some who don't) must be in evil etc metal bands. Except for Scott.

should i start one?

It's all up to you. Since you can work alone on computer, it has to be doable.

You'd have to be better than Striborg and Zweiz. People probably even know you better than them, anyway.

if cadaver eyes can do it, why not me?
