WTF!!!! Electric Wizard - Dopethrone sample?

haha wow

I'm currently listening to a chopped and screwed boot of this which is funny cos the dude has just pitched down the riff that was pitched up in the first place

holy shit!

that song is not very good, tho.

Going back a few days, meanwhile, I was very taken w/ the Saviours album on first play, much more than expected. Also had the new Black Cobra on (OK but can't help thinking they're ultimately Big Business w/ most of the things I like about Big Business removed) and new A Storm Of Light (same deal but with Neurosis, and with Lydia Lunch fulfilling the Jarboe role)

Don't listen to pfunk. Alestorm are awesome. Swashbuckle are fun, but they don't really combine the pirating and the thrash as well as you would hope -- basically, there is a pirate sounding song, and then there's a thrash song, and then repeat.

I gave him his username btw ^

Hahahaha.

That was like the perfect sequence of posts there.

He left an open goal

I like Swashbuckle better than Alestorm because Alestorm has that awful synth-accordion sound. Just hire a fucking accordionist for the recording sessions, guys. It doesn't matter if you have to resort to shitty keyboards live, cause I'll never go see you play anyway.

Alestorm are so much fun live! I highly, highly recommend getting out to see them. I had never heard them before seeing them, but three songs into their set I walked over to the merch booth and bought a CD.

Swashbuckle's okay, but I prefer Alestorm. They're goofy. Fun to interview, too.

Yipes, this Megadeth album really is good. I half thought some people had agreed to pretend to like it as some sort of elaborate group prank. But no. It's good.

Alestorm, on the other hand, suck piss.

Pirate Metal vs Crabcore. Discuss.

Pirate metal has pirates. Crabcore has crabs. Doesn't seem like much of a competition.

Pirates have crabs!

I think lice was more of a problem for them.

pirate metal bands dont have any talent though

And you don't have any sense of humor because you're British.

Scottish, please.
And we have a sense of humour.

Pirate's crabs have lice.

Which is better, a crab pirate or a pirate crab?

a crabby pirate, natch.

Musicfest NW this weekend in Portland. OM as a trio was the best I've ever seen them live. Saviours were ok. Despise You (LA grind band featuring Chris Dodge of Spazz/former Slap-a-Ham records guy) was 30 songs in 23 minutes and totally killer. I had to miss Red Fang to see OM but I assume they slew about 300 people.

OM as a trio? more details?

Alestorm has that awful synth-accordion sound

Not to mention the keytar with steeldrum preset they use on stage o_O Also, jumping around in a sharksuit really hammers it home, Fonzstyle. Saw both bands at Paganfest this week, and was only slightly amused. I kinda like how Alestorm's singer looks more Glastonbury than Wacken, though.

Btw, did ye all enjoy yerrrr Talk Like A Pirate Day yesterday?

man, that Ahab record is something else! i do dig it.

Judging by the new album Wormwood, Mortuus now has total creative control over Marduk. It's nothing short of Maranatha pt. 2, really. Which off course is a good thing.

OM as a trio? more details?

Rob from Lichens is playing seated guitar and samples/fx. Added a whole other dimension and made me appreciate the business of the new drummer a lot more. Al agreed with me that it was their best show yet.

i heard the new SubArachnoid Space album yesterday

It's pretty good, but I still prefer their live stuff from when Mason Jones was still in the band - I'll take These Things Take Time and Almost Invisible over anything else they've done.

For some reason I'm still entertained by the Wiki hack edits for metal bands, this is what Coverge's page read as of 10:30 Sunday night:

Converge is a terrible band from Salem, Massachusetts. Playing a blend of bad music[1][2] and worse music since 1990,[3][4][5] Converge has helped to define many of the very bad sounds of another horrible genre.[6][7][8]

Woah Chris Dodge is playing in Despise You? Where was that show Nate?

man you guys are so spoiled in the northwest

xpost - Despise You show was at Satyricon in Portland as part of Musicfest NW. They were on tour with Crom and Trash Talk. It was Chris's first Portland show ever. I aim to get him back sooner than later.

Did you see Crom? I'd lke to see Crom.

Got this email and other boards are publishing it and making it a sticky.
If you think it should be a an actual thread incase local ilxors who dont read this thread should see it i'll do it

Hi there,

On September 13th, StonerRock.com community member "Tariq" (real name Tariq Ali) went missing from his home in Midlothian, Illinois under very unusual circumstances.

We are sending out this announcement just in case anyone out there knows anything at all. It's a long shot but please click the following link for complete details:

If you know anything at all about the disappearance and/or current whereabouts of Tariq Ali please contact Sgt. Steve Zamiar at (708) 385 2534

Please don't hesitate to call if you know anything. This is very real and we're all very worried.

Thank you for your time.

I started it on ile
Calling Chicago area ilxors can you look out for a missing person

wow, Midlothian is a very metal name for a town.

Shit, Midlothian is literally about 20 minutes away from where I work. Dated a girl from Midlothian for a short time, but that was like 7 years ago. I'll certainly keep my eyes peeled.

Ok wow, more like 45 minutes from where I work. I am way confused this morning.

Of course he could be anywhere in the chicago area and not just the town he's from.

so, what's cool on deathwish inc? I'm gonna pre-order the new converge and might pick up some other stuff.

any of this stuff on sale worth a go?
http://www.deathwishinc.com/estore/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=D&Category_Code=SALE

don't really know too many of these bands. and I'm only gonna buy stuff on vinyl, I'm thinking.

i ordered the converge but think perhaps all the coloured vinyl sold out as it didnt give me a choice of colour. and the other estore selling it had no vinyl left at all. I guess most of them will end up on ebay too

no biggie for me. I don't really care about colored vinyl.

just order the jane doe double vinyl and then you're done! hahahaha!

to be fair, i LOVED the last hope conspiracy album. dunno if its anything that anyone here would dig though.
