Rolling Metal Thread 2009

Oh, yeah? I didn't know he'd relocated, obviously.

My ideal movie already exists. It's called The Dark Knight.

so dudes the fact that Decibel published a letter in the latest issue from i love games legend GZEUS is killing me

former ILG legend i should say

I thought he was a Britisher for some reason...? Which, er, I guess he could be still. lol anyway

no, he is a customer at my guitar shop so he is 100% the USA's fault

got this in today http://www.blinddaterecords.de/index.php?id=38#c100
I got the oak box.

you can check out pics of the whole package there but here is the line-up for the lazy
Line-up for volume I. Out in June 2009

*Salome - blueprint (Fugazi)
*The Austrasian Goat - Mask (Bauhaus)
*Atavist - Mindless (Infest)
*Coffins - Ebony tears (Cathedral)
*Monarch - A look at tomorrow (Discharge)
*La Cuenta - It's in my Blood ! (Bl'ast)
*Fistula - Dead in a ditch ( D.R.I)
*HC Minds - Black Machine (Cirith Ungol)

Total mayhem of 41 minutes.

and this the line up for volume II (out later this year):

*Aguirre - like weeds (His Hero Is Gone)
*Thou - well fed fuck (Born Against)
*Hey Colossus - institutionalized (Suicidal Tendencies)
*Loss - fog (Goatlord)
*Golden Gorilla - absentee debate (Unbroken)
*On Pain Of Death - troops of doom (Sepultura)
*Moloch - lightening strikes twice (Rorschach)

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

Its a very nice box. Oak box is gone but mahogany is left.

do you happen to own the bank of england?

Listening to Monarch's Dead Men Tell No Tales today for the first time in at least a year, maybe two.

YOB and Xasthur reviews in NYT. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/21/arts/music/21play.html?_r=2&ref=music

That YOB album just keeps getting better the more I hear it.

I remember liking that one quite a bit.

"That YOB album just keeps getting better the more I hear it."

Same for me, and I've had rough mixes, and several different masters. And I get to travel with them to SF this weekend!

Xaspost - nice Xasthur review in the NYT. I've been playing "All reflections drained" again over the last week, and I've convinced myself that there's one track that sounds exactly like Serge Gainsbourg backed by Einsturzende Neubauten. It's definitely not a generic Xasthur record.

I still need to get that new Xasthur record. In the meantime, actually shelled out the cash for the physical copy of new Coalesce. Its still great.

i want the new Ahab album! i didn't even know there was one until i saw an ad for it.

I didn't know there was either!

there is?

Post subject: update WORSHIP Last Vinyl Before Doomsday 10th Ann. LP
PostPosted: 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

whoa! had no idea that there is a new ahab coming out. sick!

I still play call of the wretched sea pretty frequently. like I'm doing RIGHT NOW.

yep, still rules.

you lie, you were listen to michael jackson according to your last.fm!

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

that I do believe

you lie, you were listen to michael jackson according to your last.fm!

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.
