Saw Anthrax in London last night. Tiny show, was great. New singer actually did a pretty great job which i hadn't expected from youtube videos. Little bit too much Phil Anselmo style wannabe grunting but overall he fit in pretty well. They also did a cover of New Noise by Refused which was pretty confusing, apparently it's gonna be on the new album. Played two other new songs, both sounded fairly good and bit more old school thrashy than their last few albums.

call me a skeptic, but while the metal bands on that page seem well or less known, I have my doubts that they are all worth to listen to.

I like to think I'm decently-schooled in obscure Canadian 80s metal, but crossover, not so much. I would have scoffed at that band 22 years ago.

I just read that Pentagram have pulled out of Hellfest (big open air metal thing in France) because Bobby Leibling forgot to bring his teeth with him. There wasn't anything that indicated this was a joke

Pentagram pulled out of a gig at the last minute?! Unprecedented!
― Matt #2, Friday, 19 June 2009 15:34 (fourteen years ago) link
The new Judas Priest album sounds really good. The set list is drawn from all the album cuts they played on their last two tours - stuff like "Eat Me Alive" and "Between the Hammer and the Anvil." Plus two tracks from Nostradamus - "Death" and "Prophecy." No "Hell Patrol," unfortunately.
― unperson, Friday, 19 June 2009 15:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Nice! Anxious to hear that, especially since they picked my two favorites off Nostradamus.

The Eluveitie album is really cool and I dig it, but I'm a bit confused about what makes it metal. Can someone elaborate?

anyone else hear the hamsoken album? nick forte from rorschach doing black metal? it's taken me a while to get around to it, but the electronics/keyboard stuff is really, really well done and abraded/crunchy enough to fit in with the metal. check out "skull through time," the weird, processed organ rules...

Mordy: metal isn't entirely a sound; it's also an attitude and state of mind. And Evocation definitely has a metal sensibility to it. Also, their last album was undeniably ferrous. This is just their acoustic record, which Euro metal bands love doing for some reason (that reason being that it usually sounds cool).
― don't cry, emo hamster (J3ff T.), Monday, 22 June 2009 17:18 (fourteen years ago) link
So obviously we're cheating here by knowing, for reasons external to this particular album, that Eluveitie "is" a metal band. But if we didn't, I think you still have as prominent clues the more-rock-than-folk drumming style on a bunch of songs (most particularly "Memento"), the growly male vocals on "Brictom" and "The Cauldron Of Renascence", and the thunking cadence of "Omnos" (even the regular version). But probably the more accurate thing I mean to say is that this feels to me like an album from the same band that did Slania, rather than, as the premise might have just as easily lead to, an album of some wholly other music that happens to share personnel with the earlier one.

I agree with Glenn. Metal is like porn: you know when you hear it.

Jeff, is it fair to say that your ideal film would be a metal version of Pirates Of The Caribbean? (with added porn scenes It seems)
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 23 June 2009 14:50 (fourteen years ago) link
Guys that kinda already exists. Pirates, like the most expensive porn ever made. Complete with horrible CGI sequences.

not really a power metal fan but that works in that, if I didn't know the kp song already, I may not have guessed it was a mashup.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 24 June 2009 15:33 (fourteen years ago) link
you can check out pics of the whole package there but here is the line-up for the lazyLine-up for volume I. Out in June 2009

Total mayhem of 41 minutes.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Wednesday, 24 June 2009 15:39 (fourteen years ago) link
Can't be arsed with the box but fancy getting that - vols 1 and 2 have a quality lineup for my money.
On a related subject, put Thou and Moloch on on Sunday and they were both really good. Thou's guitar tone is like an iceberg, it just keeps going deeper. Pretty lame turnout but them's the breaks I guess
