Post metal songs/videos only here!
I will start it off with some UNLEASED

Ooh, massive FAIL. UNLEASHED, for fuck's sake.

Unleased! 6 beds! Your whole death metal band can live here! As long as two of them are okay with sharing a bathroom.

I know there is a lot of hatin' on this band but when they had Cliff I really dug them. Dude had style.

Although I liked them in HS, neither of these bands held up for me as much as Exodus or Kreator, but I like that SR video is quite bangin'.
Perhaps oddly, I cannot stand Chuck Billy's voice. It doesn't help that its mixed SO LOUDLY. This album is mixed horribly in general, WTF? The drums and vocals are the loudest thing. Ha, BOING BASS.
|

Speaking of Exodus. Bang you're fucking head now. Best reunion ever.

Hairspray metal DOES NOT COUNT.

Exodus has now cleansed the poseurs of Trixter and Nitro from this thread.

7/01/11 12:52 PM Hairspray metal DOES NOT COUNT.
THEY HAVE A FUCKING QUAD GUITAR THAT COMES DOWN FROM THE CEILING INA CLOUD OF SMOKE. FUCK THAT NITRO FUCKING COUNTS. ALSO, JIM GILLETTE HAS SOME OF THE MOST WELL TRAINED VOCAL CHORDS LIKE EVER. SO TAKE IT BACK YOU ASSHOLE.
|
|
|
AAAAARRRRGGHHHHHH!!!!! Swedish Death/Thrash all up in here.
Merciless
|
|

Fair enough.

jim gillette can shatter glass with his voice. i mean im not a huge fan of glam or anything like that, but seriously what a funny/cool thing.

Nifelheim live around the mid 2000s. The have spikes and studs covering themselves, trying to find this video of them where they just look like metal robots cause they are just so covered in guantlets.
|
|
|
Candlemass is fucking crucial.
|
|
|
The period of time where Skolnik thought he was a jazz guy is so aggravating to me. Loved The New Order and there's some great tunes here and there, but mostly just painful.
|
|
|
|
|
|
as an 8th grade hesher, i was fucking OBSESSED with 'practice what you preach'.
it holds a serious place in my heart.
but i agree w. R Dubs that the vocals are gross and way too loud. and that BASS!! i thought bass was supposed to occupy lower frequencies than that,...hmmm.
'surf nicaragua' is my favorite Sacred Reich jawn. i found a mint copy on vinyl at the old B Squad location years ago.

MOTA played the Triple Rock last year for a friend's birthday party show. They were good and I picked up one of the records ("Quietly"). It's fine but there's several other bands doing that kinda thing that I like better. I'll give them credit for being from Dayton, Ohio.
|
|
|
Before Christer Espevoll left and they started sucking REALLY BADLY, the first four Extol releases are sheer melodo-death bliss. When i first started playing guitar again in 2001 I learned this whole album...
<a href="
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1vb5CzcFgc&feature=related">Celestial Completion</a>
|
|
|
Ugh, sorry.
Celestial Completion
And related (a bunch of these guys joined Extol later) Lengsel. I thought they would have made Extol more awesome but they turned them into stupid guyliner emo bullshit.
Lengsel - Solace
|
|
|
The only Isis-esque post-metal band I ever remotely liked was Empires - R.I.P. Dudes ruled hard.
I don't really consider that stuff to be metal as much as heavy indie rock.
|
|
|
Pit, I had all of that Testament stuff when I was a kid too, I just haven't been able to get into it since. Have you heard the album with Dave Lombardo and Steve DiGiorgio?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Man, I saw Testament so many times, almost always opening for a band I really wanted to see. To be fair, they were tight, and had an excellent, conservative, straightforward, and focused rhythm guitarist.
An old German favorite: Sodom Nuclear Winter
I have a soft spot for this band, but, boy, did they have some cheesy artwork.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I've been hoping Priest will do more than one leg of their farewell tour in the U.S. Never seen them. Must. I've been missing K.K. Downing...they've still fucking got it.
PRIEST!

I like Living Colour!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I also like Living Colour...caught them a couple years ago at the Fine Line. One of the best shows I've ever seen.
|
|
|
Corey Glover is a good front man.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I never got into Judas Priest until about 2 years ago, oddly enough. Sad Wings and Rocka Rolla are are cool, but I think British Steel is flawless start to finish.
My favorite Sodom record is actually their remake of "In the Sign of Evil" called "Final Sign of Evil." It's the last recording they did with Chris Witchhunter before he died. It just has that near-falling-apart old school death metal feel...sooo good.
Speaking of Switzerland and Celtic Frost - early Samael fucking RULES.

I love that Shallow, North Dakota record.

Never heard this song until earlier this year and it quickly became one of my favorite Metal songs of all time.
BLACK SABBATH - Neon Knights
|
|
|
Speaking a Sabbath, I bought "Technical Ecstasy" yesterday - do people hate on that album a lot? It seems pretty good to me, its like their Blue Oyster Cult album. Which I guess could be a reason why people may hate on it.
|
|
|
I love that RW started this thread. One of my favorite "Metal" dudes ever.
Metal Nerds Unite!!!
|
|
|
Lita Ford is awesome! Big fan of Britney Fox, too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its guys like you, chance, that put big road blocks in Britny Fox's success by spelling their name wrong. No "E" in Britny.
|
|
|
We're getting awfully close to Honeymoon Suite, here, boys.
|
|
|
Sorey about mispeling Brinty Fox. I'll make it up by posting my favorite Sambora song...
Metal up yo azz!
|
|
|
ahahhaha,chance, I was going to post Gypsy Road but that covers it. I think they were just at the Medina (no joke)
The Nitro videos and reviews were sooo good. I have O.F.R. autographed by Michaelangelo. That band is one of the funniest things ever!
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think Salubrious opened for Therion once.
|
|
|
Yeah, it was in the Ascot Room above The Quest.
|
|
|
I just finished watching the documentary Global Metal, and learned of the Chinese band Voodoo KungFu. Awesome dark ritual music that incorporates traditional instrumentation and even throat singing.
Jealous of their costumes, too.
|
|
|
Hey Orbit, where'd you get Global Metal? I've been wanting to see it for a long time (Scott Mcfayden and Sam Dunn). Netflix has had it "on hold" for a million years.
|
|
|
I rented it from Filmzilla.
Very much worth your while. I was going to post about it on the July movie thread, but never got around to it. It's really thoughtful and well-made. Pretty funny in some parts (Japan), pretty intense in others (Indonesia and Israel).
|
|
|
I have Nevermore's first 12" demo ep, and Virus' Pray for War lp.
Would you like to have them?
|
|
|
I assume everybody's seen "Heavy Metal In Baghdad" at this point but that was a lot of fun.
|
|
|
Yeah, real uplifting. I like the part where we missiled their practice space.
I saw that at the T-Rock as part of some lame Vice magazine thing. After, the MC was all, "Allright, that was Heavy Metal In Baghdad, how's everybody doing out there?" Wooo!
|
|
|
SRSLY, listen to this fucking drummer!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQi-tibNpe8
|
|
|
Yeah, but they perservered.
|
|
|
yeah, thats true. And they got guitars from 'tallica at the airport when they came to the u.s.
And don't you mean they preserved? ; )

Btw, I saw this at ex noise yesterday and cannot wait until payday next week. Amazing book. Interviews with everybody who was anybody in death/thrash/black metal.
Also, the Dave Mustaine auto-bio, which is supposed to be really good.
|
|
|
did someone say dave mustaine?
|
|
|
MRMB Metal Confessions: I don't get the appeal of Mastodon. They strike me as a pretty average metal band.
|
|
|
In the early days, they were really something. Not so much now, but I saw them open for High On Fire in the Entry some years back and it was fucking incredible.
|
|
|
I liked Leviathan. But Brann Dailor's drumming drives me fucking nuts. Dude waaaay overplays. So many juicy riffs to grab onto in that band and he's blazing 16th and 32nd notes constantly.
|
|
|
Mastodon used to rule. Leviathan was awesome. Crack The Skye made me really like Blood Mountain because of how much I didn't like Crack the Skye.
|
|
|
Baroness kicks their asses now
|
|

Here is some tru heavy metal. This is about as close to power metal as I can get.
Blaze Bayley is the singer who replaced Bruce Dickinson for a time in Iron Maiden. The X Factor is actually arguably one of their best records. He's got an awesome voice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjJMCQxjirI
|
|
|
I just found a test pressing of Autopsy's "Fiend For Blood" at work! Thought all the rare metal was gone, and I still find some on occasion.
|
|
|
nice!! autopsy is pretty sweet.
Also..RE:Mastodon...Clone is right, they slayed it years ago and their first wave of releases were great but then, I don't know, they just got too full of themselves or something.
|
|
|
Yeah, the early stuff is great but that new one sucks horribly.
|
|
|
ohhh dang the Autopsy find! i love my Autopsy records i bought from you
|
|
|
I like the new Autopsy. Just sayin'.
|
|
|
i still have a mastodon shirt i bought when that ep came out. i am ashamed to wear it now that they sound like ozzy osbourne fronting dream theater after smoking opium
|
|
|
SF, have you heard old Autopsy? Mental FuneralSevered Survival.
I just think they sounded better when they spent all of the recording money Peaceville gave them on bails of weed.
|
|
|
Is there two different "rock witch" accounts? One with Capital R, and one with lower case?
|
|
|
No. Weird!
|

OMG, this song wants me to bang my head so hard. Tom Hunting is the most crushing drummer in thrash.

|
|
on the Exodus tip:
as much as i LOVE 'fabulous disaster' and 'impact is imminent', i can't but help but think how much better they'd be with Baloff singing.
'Zetro' is hella annoying and some of his lyrics on "Impact" are borderline neo-con shit.
|
|
|
Yeah, I know.
At least you didn't see them with Rob Dukes wearing a t-shirt with Obama on it that said CUNT instead of HOPE.
|
|
|
Gotta love that ugly reactionary strain that runs through lots of American metal.
(obviously the Europeans have it too, but I've noticed more of it here the last few years)
|
|
|
I think a lot of it is contrarian for the sake of being contrarian. Which is just fucking stupid if its wrong.
Unless, of course, its something like this which about made me pee myself:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YiXVldHIDhE
|
|
|
P.S. Pit, if you haven't heard Another Lesson In Violence, get it. It totally rips and Baloff at his best.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, there was always a sort of contrarian streak in thrash metal. A lot of the "political" stuff was always actually pretty lazy and appealed more to the politically apathetic than the politically active.
|
|
|
I think it was always one of the biggest things punks would lord over metalheads.
|
|
|
I remember being really confused when I heard M.O.D. for the first time in 9th grade because they were bros with Anthrax. I heard "AIDS" and I was like, "Wait, what?!" At that point I just assumed that thrash was rather left socio-politically.
My disappointment continues. I totally geeked on "Oppressing The Masses" by Vio-lence a couple years back and then heard "Dicks of Death."
|
|
|
Ha ha speaking of contrarian streaks, and maybe just ass-backwards offensive streaks in metal, I had a metalhead friend Rob who never failed to hijack the sound system at parties and slip in some Mentors and really pissing everybody off. Good times! Tragically Rob died the classic alcoholic death of aspirating on his own vomit but I still smile when I think of him bringing Mentors tapes to parties in the 90s and just waiting for when nobody was paying attention so he could take over the stereo.
|
|
|
In Solitude: The World, the Flesh, the Devil is pretty fucking excellent retro- Mercyful Fate-NWOBHM-inspired thrash. I have a sneaking suspicion that these are the guys in Ghost, too, so if you like them, def give it a spin.
RW, I checked out Mental Funeral by Autopsy per your suggestion. Good stuff. Def rawer and more nasty sounding than Macabre Eternal but I still think the newer one is pretty awesome too.
I'm loving the shit outta so much of the black/death/sludge/doom/crust metal that I'd ignored over the last 15 years. I should be ashamed of myself and turn in my Metal Cred-Card for being so ignorant of all this amazing music, but I'm having a blast being exposed to it now.
It's kinda lame of me to say, but it's actually exhilarating and it makes me feel like a teenage headbanger again hearing all this stuff that is totally new to me.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't really given much of a crap about black metal of late, but Botanist is really interesting and good.
Botanist
|
|
|
stinkfinger i always liked seeing your monthly listening habits and noticed how similar it is to when i got back into metal a few years ago.
|
|
|
Yeah man. Fuck cred. Everyone started somewhere sometime.
|
|
|
My cold medication must have worn off, because that Botanist stuff is really stupid. I liked the drumming though!
|
|
|
Botanist? What a name. rw, let's start a metal band called Lepidopterist. Or maybe Numismatist or Philatelist.
|
|
|
Heh.
It's the kind of thing where its like, "You're a shredding drummer. And you could have played a guitar. Instead you molested a hammered dulcimer. And you called it Botanist and wrote all of your songs about the malevolence of microbiological lifeforms."
That's not metal, that's a piss take. And it's really too bad, because the lyrics/packaging would be cool if it was some other "genre." I guess I don't understand how someone could put so much effort into something so ridiculous.
|
|
|
I actually have many of you on this board to thank (RW, pitpat, orbit, bicorn, howie, teddy.. to name a few) for cluing me into a lot of this stuff on the monthly listening threads.
So, um... thanks, board members.
|
|
|
Actually, "Numismatist" would be a pretty good name, as long as you were sure your audience didn't know and wasn't going to find out what it meant. Here's some potential album titles:
Coin of the Realm
Drawn and Quartered
Mark of Cain
|
|
|
pieces of eight?
|
|
|
Yes!
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Search for the Money Tree.
|
|
|
Speaking of Quartering. One of my favorite Heavy Metal albums is the self-titled
Dark Quarterer
|
|
|
|
|
|
Will try. Been hoping to see you.
|
|
|
Hey SF, speaking of In Solitude, are you into Candlemass? Crucial. First four albums in particular.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjRd28TU9CE
Holy crap, now that I listened to In Solitude and Candlemass back to back, it is pretty apparent that dude is attempting to channel Messiah Marcolin.
|
|
|
by the way, if you guys haven't heard Hail!Hornet, you are missing out for sure.
link
|
|
|
Oooh, I like the Hail!Hornet. And here I thought Buzzoven just reformed.
|
|
|
Epicus Doomicus Metallicus is about the best album title ever.
|
|
|
buzzoven was touring this spring. They didn't play in MPLS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Srsly, someone listen to this Morbid stuff - it's fucking excellent.
|
|
|
Japanese lady metal. Well, not exactly metal, but a solid B for effort. Points off for the Line 6 amp.
|
|
|
shit that almost sounds like that old band Romantic Gorilla...

Got the reissue of Death's "Human" today. Remixed/remastered by Jim Morris. Really good. Bass and drums are more clear, particularly.
Not ruined like the Megadeth "remasters," which are in fact bad remixes (Rust In Piece anyway). Reverb on the drums makes everything sound slower, which is about the dumbest thing to do to that record...
Also, the dipshits at Sony lost the masters of the original "Human." So if you have it, keep it. But this reissue is definitely worth picking up if you are a fan.
|
|
|
I can't handle those Megadeth remasters at all.
|
|
|
Coroner
I'll take them over Megadeth for highly technical thrash at the end of the day, I think.
|
|
|
coroner RULES! Are you the Stallion by chance?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that band rules. excellent logo!
|
|
|
I'm pretty sure Necroticism is my favorite Carcass record. I think I have a poster of the cover someplace.

Mental Vortex was my Coroner area.

geez this is the worst band name ever but this band Rabbits is a sweet fucking Karp/sludge/spazz rock band from Portland.
|

Keep your Indie Rock outta the METAL THREAD.

lol c'mon prince you know my tuff guy metal standards don't bend
|
|
|
I already mentioned it in the August listening thread, but check out Vaborg.
As the blog post says, very heavy Tom Warrior influence, but there is plenty else going on.
|
|
|
"Valborg", sorry. Guess I should make sure I spelled the name right if I'm going to hype them.
|
|
|
oh dudes i know you're funnin', saying something is on Relapse doesn't mean shit these days.
|
|
|
Locally, I am fond of the metal stylings of Iron Thrones. They remind me of Rosetta with more vocals.
|
|
|
This Valborg shit is the shit!
There are very few bands with a similar feel to Tryptikon, even though there are more than a few with a Celtic Frost/Hellhammer feel.
I honestly feel like the Tryptikon style could be the "future" of the kind of metal I want to hear.
This is really good. Thanks for the tip, Orbit.
|
|
|
We just got a ton of questions about black metal.
As black metal goes, I still think Les Legions Noirare not of this world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
'even though there are more than a few with a Celtic Frost/Hellhammer feel.'
---do tell!
|
|
|
These two releases in particular are gorgeous dark romanticism.

|
|
|
That Valborg stuff is great. I hear the Frost/Hellhammer thing but it's got a lot more going on than that, I think.
|
|
|
I had checked out that Zeitgeister label in the past. Real hi-fi/clean aesthetic they have going on but I like that they're not doing a bunch of hipster bullshit.
|
|
|
Oh, if you guys like metal, you'll LOVE local band Severah.
|
|
|
i sincerely hope you're being facetious..
|
|
|
hahahaha, the Severah vocalist sounds sounds somewhat like a certain other someone.
|
|
|
holy shit I can't believe i just heard that Severah. Gross.
|
|
|
those guys are trv metal.
i didn't know maynard keenan was a local dude.

Upcoming metal shows at the Turf Club...
Thursday September 22nd - BIBLE OF THE DEVIL | LEECHES OF LORE | ELDERGAAD | NIGHTOSAUR
Thursday September 29th - KARMA TO BURN | ROMERO | RED DESERT
Sunday October 9th - GYPSYHAWK (EX-SKELETON WITCH) | HUNTRESS | NIGHTOSAUR
Monday October 10th - 400 BLOWS (members of Big Buisness/Crom + Circle Jerks) | GAY WITCH ABORTION | BLOOD N' STUFF
|
|
|
Gypsyhawk sounds like a good ol time
|
|
|
Love Karma To Burn. They have Dave (or maybe Ray) Davies' kid singing for them now.
|
|
|
what??? Karma to Burn needs no singer.
|
|
|
The Belketre part of this split sucks bad imo, but the Vlad Tepes stuff is sickening.
http://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Vlad_Tepes/March_to_the_Black_Holocaust/44733
|
|
|
excited to play with Gypsyhawk, and I checked out Huntress to see what they were like. Despite their huge-boobed singer gimmick they actually rock pretty hard and she can sing. Should be a good one.
|
|
|
"Who comes up with these names?"
|
|
|
hug3 boobed is not a gimmick.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Holy shit! Pumped to see Bible of the Devil again. It will be cool to see Karma to Burn too, although I've always had a sort of love/bored relationship with them.
|
|
|
Gypsthawk SLAYS live, the record doesn't do them justice.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, half of the Gypsyhawk record is awesome, and the other half is only half awesome.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Right now I like Animals As Leaders. Cafo: The solo at 2:30 is pretty insane.
|
|
|
that's some serious prog metal. I think the solo at the end was a little cooler.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If there was something I would put in the guilty pleasures/embarrassing music thread, it would be stuff like Animals as Leaders. I CAN NOT RESIST IT. Like.
|
|
|
Amazon keeps recommending them to me. Amazon recommended Electric Wizard to me, so maybe it knows what it's talking about.
|
|
|
electric wizard is at maryland dethfest next spring. Fuck me.
|
|
|
I like Witchcult Today and their more garage-y stuff. But Dopethrone is everything I despise wrapped into one album. Srs.
|
|
|
ditto
|
|
|
WUT?
|
|
|
PL - road trip?
|
|
|
EVERYONE just loses their shit over that album, but it is just so cliche it angers me. I know they started it, but it launched a whole wave of Southern Lord punk/metal crossover that I just cannot stand.
I like the self titled and We Live.
|
|
|
I just prefer more good song-writing, catchy or melodic doom over the dumbed-down look at how loud are Orange stacks are blues riffage.
Sabbath wrote SONGS, man.
|
|
|
BTW, Orbit, I checked into that Valborg stuff further, specifically their first one (Songs For A Year) and Glorification of Pain, which they probably consider to be their first "proper" album. Really good - great atmosphere, GOP where it seems they really found the sound they carried forward.
|
|
|
i heard a new Testament song on XM radio yesterday.
wtf? they went all nu-metal. chuck billy doing a bad cookie monster thing and the chorus was, like, fucking metalcore with epic progressions and shit.
wha' happen?
|
|
|
Oof. Well, modern times, brah. Modern times.
|
|
|
I never could hang with Chuck Billy's voice. Actually, that's usually the thing that makes or breaks thrash for me. I couldn't get into Forbidden or Dark Angel for the same reasons.
That's why I like the Germans.
|
|
|
Sort of seems like the metal genre is uniquely susceptible to that kind of blatant trend-chasing. I could be way off, though.
|
|
|
You're not.
|
|
|
Right, cause pop, hip-hop, punk and other genres have no blatant trend-chasing...
|
|
|
I don't really think of "pop" as a genre in the same way. If anything, it's the genre that defines the trends to be chased, so it's disqualified. But sure, other genres have this to some extent too. I was thinking that hip-hop might be the next best example.
|
|
|
Still, I think may be more apparent when it happens in metal, although I guess "uniquely susceptible" may be a stretch. It's less acceptable to fans when it happens, I think.
|
|
|
Metal fans are pretty strict.
That said, Testament really should have gotten any nu-metal yearnings out of their system a decade or so ago, like everyone else.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OMG I had to post this because this clip is testament to the fact that these guys just fucking destroy everything live, always. NOBODY current does DM like <a href="

|
|
|
|
|
|
Thx for the Valborg & Triptykon tips, dudes. Loving it.
|
|
|
tbh "pop metal" is a lot better than lots of "real metal"
|
|
|
like stryper?
|
|
|
i listened to darkthrone a bunch a while back and def leppard is way better
|
|
|
"out of the cellar" by ratt is way better than celtic frost
|
|
|
Darkthrone's best song is "Hanging out in haiger"
|
|
|
It is difficult to think of an album less fuckwithable than "High 'N Dry."
|
|
|
word.
metal p much died for me after first wave thrash.
after that it's too hookless and serious and no groove and no fun, at least the stuff i try out once in awhile
death metal, grindcore is kinda the worst
|
|
|
morbid angel is pretty awesome groovin death metal. they're really the band that got me into the whole genre of DM.
|
|
|
I don't like much of the Death 'n Roll stuff, but love me some Entombed. Serious grooves and a song about Wolverine.
|
|
|
yeah i don't even know
i think a big part of it was that i got way into music at a young age and totally like worshipped metal, my whole room was floor to ceiling covered with pages ripped out of hit parader and circus and rip and metal edge and etc etc
so i guess i loved it in a way that you can only love things when you were a kid, like i really *believed* that these guys were crazy party gods or in touch with the powers of evil in the universe, but then you get older and you realize iron maiden are just some english dudes that like soccer and beer and stuff
it's kinda like how a haunted house at the fair seemed to you as a kid when you don't see all the strings and cheap tricks and carnys doing all the stuff in the background, it feel real to you
or like if you go back to your elementary school as i did a few years ago and walked through the building and you are struck by how impossibly SMALL everything is, this building that seemed enormous and encompassed your whole world
|
|
|
i like death metal stuff way more now than i did as a young hesher.
when i was a 'metalhead', my metal tastes were pretty vanilla and i preferred more hooky stuff.
now if i wanna get grizzly, i'll listen to Decide. "satan spawn the cacodaemon".
|
|
|
I only like hipster metal
|
|
|
makes sense ebay pants
|
|
|
yup
|
|
|
i too got in to the gnarlier scumm the later I went on, but then somewhere along the way i got into the cheeseball 'hard rock' stuff again, and now they make comfy bedmates.
Oh yeah, and how about : Blotted Science
again, i have a totally weak spot for 'technical death metal' i guess.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rainbow is the only metal band (outside of sabbath) that i ever really feel like listening to lately
|
|

Mags, you and I are about the same age and prob from the same basic school. The era of the guitar soloists came right when I turned 13 in 1984 and started playing guitar. The L.A. stuff was really what made me want to get out from behind the drums..van halen, jake e lee, rhoads, phil collen, dimartini, vai, george lynch, et al. Those guys didnt just shred, they had excellent melodic sense and pop songwriting abilities. I still love all of that stuff. The straight shredding like the Shrapnel Records or Yngwies lost their appeal real quick.
I also checked out Master of Puppets right around that time because it was making the top 10 lists of all the bmxers and skaters in Freestyle and Thrasher, but when I got the tape in the mail it scared the shit out of me! Hearing those crushing guitars in minor keys in conjunction with that creepy cover was just to fucking heavy for the 6th grade mind!
Once I hit HS I heard AJFA, that record changed everything. I learned every song. From there I just branched off. Seasons In the Abyss, Testimony of the Ancients, The End Complete, Arise, Coma of Souls, Among the Living. But I was also listening to Ramones, Black Flag, Fugazi, etc. that seemed to put me on the punk/post punk detour for about ten years...
In about 2000 I discovered that Kreator was still a band and had put out all of these killer albums while my attention was elsewhere, and that was pretty much the end if punk/post-punk for me. Pretty much all doom, death, thrash, prog and trad for me from there on. Its the largest underground network on earth and the fans are so passionate about it. You don't see that as much in other genres for a numbr of reasons.

haha i had the exact same experience -- i got mine from BMG record club on cassette - the spanish guitars segueing into those crushing riffs were so crazy to me
But I was also listening to Ramones, Black Flag, Fugazi, etc. that seemed to put me on the punk/post punk detour for about ten years...
^p much the same for me...throw in stuff like pretty hate machine, misfits (cuz of metallica's shirts), pixies, pump up the volume soundtrack, etc
except i just kept on i guess and never really returned to metal that much
not that i dislike metal, i just can't really hang with extreme kinds of metal
i did really love this "christmas" album you made though! i don't remember the title but it was this kinda epic metal christmas thing you gave to me
you gave me a couple great mixes of stuff from "extreme" metal and i remember liking some, kreator i think was on it and one of the ones i liked
honestly, it's kinda just the banshee vox or cookie monster vox, i just can't hang
|
|
|
I don't know how "metal" they are, but I've had a big Voivod renaissance lately. Mags, do you dig them?
|
|
|
is danny spitz not in anthrax anymore? i'm outta the loop.
i like a lot of stuff with absurd cookie monster vocals. my opinion is that those vox sound extra bad when they are recorded super clear, clean and up front in the mix (as seems the case with WAY too much extreme metal these days).
|
|
|
also, i never noticed that 'caught in a mosh' is about one verse and chorus too long.
|
|
|
voivod= pretty fuckin metal
|
|
|
Spitz has been out since '95(!), except for a brief stint in 2005-2007.
Wikipedia lists Andreas Kisser as touring guitarist in 2011. That would be pretty fucking awesome.
|
|
|
xpost
yeah i really loved nothingface and dimension hatross a lot
they always kinda seemed like a weird post-punk prog band in metal clothing...kinda
i was super into operation: mindcrime by queensryche. that shit blew my mind.
|
|
|
me too
|
|
|
it was an underground revolution working overtime IMO
|
|
|
I first heard Master Of Puppets when I checked it out (on LP) from the public library the year it came out.
|
|
|
was that Kisser playing with Anthrax in that video? Hell of a guitar player...
I knew right away that wasn't Spitz...guy is practically a midget.
|
|
|
"During the hiatus between Sound of White Noise and Stomp 442, longtime guitarist Dan Spitz left the band to quit music and become a watchmaker"
Wow.
|
|
|
He must be Swiss.
|
|
|
being in anthrax turns you italian
|
|
|
|
|
|
haha holy shit!!
|
|
|
Huh. He lost interest in music and did this instead. Looks like he specializes in out-of-warranty service/restoration on high-end Swiss chronographs. I'm kind of impressed. It's not something you idly learn how to do in your spare time.
|
|
|
ha i thought everybody knew that
|
|
|
Oh man, Andreas Kisser? Now I GOTTA go.
I don't know who played with them on the Big 4 simulcast. Some dude with a reaal choochy lookin' facial hair pattern, kinda like Dan Spitz in that picture. Dude's gots some guns though, look at that shit!

Whoa, i guess they utilize 12-tone theory a bunch in their stuff? Wild.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT
im glad nergal's forehead continues to grow
|
|

Polish Newsweek. I guess he's on this week's cover, and is a celebrity there. The cover says "God, Horror, Country".
|
|
|
Lame Ass Shit ^
|
|
|
I'm not afraid to go on record as enjoying pretty much all Entombed. Sure, Same Difference threw me for a loop when it came out - felt like the lines between Entombed and Hellacopters were becoming blurred or something - but since they've done some great work since, I no longer bear any ill will towards that album. There are some decent tunes on it too.
|
|
|
I don't understand anything about that Nergal thing. What's the deal?
|
|
|
Invisible Oranges
Awesome site. Check out the review of the first four Metallica albums!
Obsequiae interview forthcoming in the nextprint version.
|
|
|
yeah that website is awesome!
|

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffWVlG8rK9k&feature=player_embedded">Mastodon-The Hunter</>
Full stream of the new album until it drops next week. I haven't listened to it yet, so don't get all mad at me and shit for posting this if it sucks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I listened to a track off this. Tried anyway, It was awful. I mean really awful
I used to really love this band back when they sounded totally different.
|
|
|
Yeah... Remission and Leviathan are two of my all-time favorites metal cds, but the ones since have had steadily diminishing returns.
|
|
|
I like Leviathan quite a lot. But beyond that, the hype soooo killed it for me.
That and Brann Dailors incredibly boring drumming. HUGE guitar hooks to grab and slam and he's all bdddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddbszh bddddddddddddddddddddddddd.
|
|
|
I don't think I've ever established enough affection for whatever niche it is they're trying to occupy.
|
|
|
I always liked "Sound of White Noise," but then I kind of checked out on Anthrax after that. Just recently checking out the rest. "Stomp 242" and "We've Come For You All" are both really good. Better than the newest Anthrax, for that matter. The production on "We've Come For You All" is probably the driest they've sounded and totally crushing.
|
|
|
maybe i should listen to the old mastodon ones, shit i listened to like a year ago sounded like prog alice in chains
|
|
|
Leviathan really is quite good.
|
|
|
Do you know the story about that tattoo gun rape bullshit? I heard that the leviathan guy was set up and acquitted of the charges but shit man, thinking about that makes me feel sick.
|
|
|
listen to "Stomp 242" and mosh your cares away.
|
|
|
The new Anthrax album really isn't doing too much for me. bummer
|
|
|
travism where have you seen the results of the trial? last i heard he was released on bail but i haven't heard anything about acquittal. and i don't generally believe that acquittal = innocence, particularly in sexual assault cases.
|
|
|
even more so when the dude is kind of known to be an asshole and is a very public misogynist.
|
|
|
mags-
when i heard the Mastodon album after 'leviathan', i also thought it sounded like alice in chains.
great minds...
|
|
|
|
|
|
Afrin, yeah, the new one = not so great. Like 3 good songs. Good thing they play old stuff live...
|
|
|
leviathan dude i guess has a new record coming out on profound lore soon. i've always really liked his stuff. but yeah he is an awful dumb human being. so it goes with being a fan of "black metal" music
|
|
|
man, mastodon has been unlistenable since they let dickface sing like ozzy osbourne all over everything. slick leg 7", that first thing they did with all the ice on the cover, and remission are fucking front to back solid though
used to be my favorite band ever

David Geffen is spinning in his grave.

that slayer video was bad ass.

there is a new skeletonwitch record!

It kicks much ass.

Love these guys live - do not like their albums.
|

this new album rips! live they rip even harder
|
|
|
On the metal station on XM Radio the dude said the only Metal that maybe as controversials as the Lou Reed Metallica album, is the new Morbid Angel.
Whats Morbid Angel upto that has the metal world stirring?
|
|
|
Didn't they go techno or something?
|
|
|
new album is really lame. people are exaggerating how bad it is - it just isnt true to form really and that kinda suxxx
|
|
|
no, it's absolutely terrible. give or take two songs, it might as well be another band. they went the industrial metal route and totally failed. the mixing is awful too, being able to hear dave vincents terrible voice over every instrument isn't why i listen to their other shit. now that i think of it, ive really only listened to the albums he wasnt involved with for the last 6 months or so.
|
|
|
altars of madness
blessed are the sick
covenant
domination
formulas
dont bother with anything else
and up about entombed back there blurring into hellacopters - the dude who was also in hellacopters had left after To Ride, so thats pretty funny you say that. hah, awesome.
|
|
|
The new Giant Squid album is awesome.
|
|
|
i guess i dont think it's that bad because i didnt like gateways or heretic.
|
|
|
drewcifer laid down Thee List. I fuckin LOVE those MAngel records.
|
|
|
lou reed listens to angel witch now
|
|
|
i'm kinda hoping that the whole Loutallica fiasco sends Lou down the metal rabbit hole.
all doing a cover album of Annihilator songs or some shit.
|
|
|
Vio-Lou
|
|
|
i'm listening to diamond head. i only knew them from metallica covers.
this is kinda cute, way more 70s rock than i thought, their version of am i evil? reminds me of spinal tap
|
|
|
ever heard Raven, mags?
|
|
|
The band with the drummer who wore hockey shit and bashed the drums with the aforementioned hockey shit.
|
|
|
raven?
|
|
|
I dunno, I mean I love their first 4 albums but I've really gotten a kick out of gateways, formulas and heretic recently. Secured limitations off of heretic is SO brutal!
is what I meant to post in this thread
|
|
|
formulas is my pick of those 3
|
|
|
digging through some Chinese Rock DVD's i bought.
can't get over this band, Sudden Death.
never heard vocals like that!
|
|
|
I was unsuccessfully digging around ex. noise for a copy of Gorguts-Obscura on wax this afternoon. Come home and get on the computer, turns out it was only ever released on cd in the past, but it's getting released on vinyl for the first time next month.
|
|
|
Best Morbid Angel is Abominations of Desolation, the demo with Mike Browning!
Just went from Big Star to Bathory's S/T. Really did start here for me with metal.
|
|
|
Going to that C.O.C. show to see Torche and Valient Thorr with a buddy from Madison. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm not super familiar with that particular lineup of C.O.C. 1986...I think.
|
|
|
It's pretty much the penultimate lineup, IMO.
|
|
|
The second to last lineup?
|
|
|
well I think there was a couple after that, but the power trio that recorded "Animosity" was the shit. "Technocracy" is awesome, Simon Bob wasn't as good of a singer as Mike.
|
|
|
Who here is a Vader fan?
I've only heard bits and pieces over the years, but the newest thing is pretty good. What's a good older thing to look for?
|
|
|
The current line-up of C.O.C. is pretty much from all of their hc punk years pre-"Blind."
New album comes out Tuesday. Really looking forward to it. There's a new clip up on their home page, and they did an EP called "Your Tomorrow" last year.
|
|
|
Also, Valiant Thorr are the sshhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttt, IMO.
|
|
|
Not a huge Vader fan but did like Morbid Reich.
|
|
|
The '89 demo, not the new "return" album or whatever.
|
|
|
I just got the new Hammers of Misfortune record and it totally rules.
|
|
|
Hammers of Misfortune does, in fact, rule.
Also, there's a new band from from Greece that's giving me a chub right now, Hail Spirit Noir. Their debut album doesn't get released for a week, but the two songs that they have on the Myspace are fucking cool as hell. Def gonna pick this up.
|
|
|
Still can't get over Necros Christos' new album Doom of the Occult. So fuckin' good.
|
|
|
Tristan Shone.
Mechanical engineer that invents his own instruments to create some really heavy-ass drone/doom. This is some cool shit.

PL, not to be that guy, but which band are you and is that in standard poster order (last to first)?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm in Jaundice. I sent you an invite on the FB, it's got set times listed on there.
|
|
|
the Enabler stuff i've heard is pretty decent
|
|
|
i think there's 2 Enablers around the midwest, the Enable MKE is pretty good crust, the st paul dudes are metal.
|
|
|
ahhh, ok, i'm talkin' the MKE one.
Haven't heard mpls one.
|
|
|
|
|
|
mpls is pretty good, ex-anal blast dudes.
|
|

Picked up tix for Meshuggah/Baroness/Decapitated on 5/13 at 1st Ave today.
Stoaked.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I passed on the new Hammers of Misfortune and bought the latest Uriah Heep album.
As a fan of most of their stuff (mostly the Mike Scalzi era) I think that new one is absolutely god awful.
|
|
|
Listened to Anthrax - Persistence of Time for the first time last night. So awesome.
|
|
|
No doubt. Just got Spreading the Disease, should I even bother spinning it?
|
|
|
spreading the disease is pretty good.
'madhouse' and 'medusa' are pretty killer jams.
|
|
|
COOL
|
|
|
Whoa, first time listen of Persistence of Time? Congratulations. Sooo good.
Spreading The Disease is great too, although the production leaves a bit to be desired. Among The Living is in the same boat that way for me - great material, but the recordings, oof.
|
|
|
The new High on Fire record is available for streaming at NPR. And it fucking destroys.
|
|
|
oh no way, among the living sounds sweet. You gotta get an original vinyl, they killed that release when they put it on cd...
Among The Living is the best Anthrax hands down IMO. I can't really listen to P.O.T....
|
|
|
gotta agree with lumber on ATL's production. Always thought it sounded heavy as fuck.
|
|
|
true. anthrax were one of the few bands i remember (from being a young hesher) who always had a good bass mix. like, you could actually HEAR and DECIPHER the basslines. always thought that made 'em sound way heavier than other bands of that era/genre.
|
|
|
Dude's a picker, I believe.
|
|
|
oooooh yes.
|
|
|
no way ruxpin you did not just agree with me ;)
|
|
|
omg I'm two minutes into this new High On Fire and it's the best thing since The Art Of Self Defense.

actually, frankie bello is not a picker. he is a fingerer. hmm, there's no way to contextually make this not sound lurid.

Frank Bello does indeed play with his fingers.
I think Frank Bello is as good if not better than Cliff Burton. Mostly because he's alive, but still.

Being dead is Pretty Fucking Metal, tho. TAI.

could have sworn bello played w. a pick, but now i def. recall seeing tons of footage of him 'fingering'. TWSS

I'm listening to a Swedish Power Metal band called Crystal Eyes. They kind of sound like Stryper if Stryper was Progressive Power Metal. Super harmonious/melodious. Super clean.

RW, you ever check out Chastain?
|
|
|
and Thaaaaaaaaaaaat .giffuckinrules.
|
|
|
Chastain's solo stuff always kinda bored me as a cut-rate Yngwie, but the Chastain stuff with Leather Leone was great. I wonder if I still have my Seventh of Never cassette.
According to Wikipedia, they just put out an album in 2010. Also, dude put out or played on 10 albums with his various bands in the 6 years from '85 to '90. Damn.
|
|
|
chastain advertisements were the bread and butter of Guitar For The Practicing Musician, iirc.
|
|
|
That and Shrapnel Records.
|
|
|
totes.
and Blues Saraceno. and Jennifer Batten. and CACAPHONY!
|
|
|
totally agree wrt yr Chastain assessment, J Low. Leone rules! One of the strengths of the band, never heard the solo stuff tho.
|
|

I have Voice of the Cult. Artwork on it fuckin rules.

That show last night was worth going to anyway, regardless of lineup changes.
I'm really interested to hear that Devil's Blood lp now; too bad it was $30 at the show.
|
|
|
i won tickets to this. won a free in solitude lp as well. got late saw a bit of in solitude. and couldn't stand being inside of station 4 any longer and decided to leave
|
|
|
In Solitude were actually kinda boring and sloppy, but they also got stuck with the first-on-the-bill mix, so maybe not totally their fault.
I was surprised at the number of familiar faces there, too.
|
|
|
i originally signed up to win tickets when watain were still playing. i figured hey i'll at least get a free $30 record.
|
|
|
Devil's Blood were really ambitious and proggy (3 guitars with harmonized synced leads), not really "metal" at all to my ears, and still went over well with a good portion of the crowd. I was really impressed with their songwriting and their musicianship.
Behemoth were fucking great, both to hear and to watch. Excellent lights.

I listened to Devi's Blood recently when I heard they were coming. I remembered hearing them before and ugh - like a lot of the fringe-goth/metal stuff that I always thought was horrible. I just don't get it. Not a dig on anyone else's taste, that's just me.
In Solitude are pretty Candlemass-y, didn't realize they were playing.
I will check out Chastain.
|
|
|
I think of TDB as more of an occult-ish presentation of 70s FM radio hard rock than anything. I was surprised they went over so well with that audience.
|
|
|
is doom becoming the new trendy type of metal? is black metal no longer cool?
|
|
|
Actually, the real cool thing now is the whole blackened crust kinda stuff.
BM was cool '94 to '99, then had a resurgence starting about '03-'04, starting to taper off. Doom filled the gaps. Now it's all Cascadian style BM with longer european folk interludes and BM influenced doom. So plodding drums with BM style guitar during bridges and screechier vocals, maybe with some atmospheric noise. See stuff on Eternal Warfare, Pesanta Urfolk, and Gilead Media. Oh jesus, that is all so stupid. I hate myself for even posting this.
|
|
|
haha no way that's cool
|
|
|
I mean, there might be bands doing blackened crust stuff now, but I don't see what has changed. There's good black metal every year, just gotta look a bit harder. Negative Plane, Mgla, Cult of Daath, Necros Christos etc are current bands that take the same influences and do something original. Sure there are plenty of bad bands that sound all alike getting tons of press, but that's to a completely different audience.
|
|
|
Minneapolis' own False is my favorite current black metal band. As far as doomier stuff, Pilgrim, Pallbearer, and Magic Circle are my picks so far in 2012,
|
|
|
i think i was just thinking about it lately. i saw NPR listed that new pallbearer record as one of the years best. and assumed that a couple years ago it woulda been some black metal band
|
|
|
Rhinocervs is my new favorite obsession. RH-12 and RH-13 both came out this year on cassette.
|
|
|
Pallbearer ain't bad at all. Any band that cites Pagan Altar as an influence is probably gonna be good.
|
|
|
THAT BAND RULES. can't wait for the vinyl to come out
|
|
|
NEW album, you say? Cool. Southern doom on the rocks, please.
|
|
|
i liked the pallbearer record and i think like 98% of all the metal bands that i check out based on this thread are awful.
i like false metal.
|
|
|
I just read there is a new Dawnbringer record out. Gotta grab that.
|
|
|
New Dawnbringer is pretty cool. If you liked Nucleus, you'll like this one too.
|
|
|
Black Breath - Sentenced to Life is fucking awesome.
It reminds me of the album of punk covers that Slayer put out in '96 or so, Undisputed Attitude, except instead of covers, it's all original material. If Slayer were a hardcore band, this is what they'd sound like.
|
|
|
GUILTY OF BEING RIGHT.
|
|
|
nucleus ruled so hard.
|
|
|
If slayer was a hardcore band they'd sound like discharge, the hardcore band they totally copied to begin with
|
|
|
Mags 2012 = Zom Zom 2.0
|
|
|
|
|
|
Stinky, I'm serious listen to do nothing say nothing see nothing by discharge, I was kinda shocked
|
|
|
jah, slayer aped discharge HARD.
not that there's anything wrong with that.
|
|
|
I actually listened to DNSN right after your post, and I get what you're saying, but when I listen to Show No Mercy and their other early stuff, I hear more of a Venom influence than straight-up D-Beat.
|
|
|
I know Slayer was listening to punk and hardcore, but I would agree with stink and argue that Venom, Priest, and Motorhead were much larger influences.
|

whos discharge and why do you guys keep talking about them?
|
|
|
They are a hot, new young punk band with speed and attitude, wholly original and not influenced by anybody. They are edgy and don't care, they scream and smash stuff, and talk about how unfair the system is, man. But they're not as good as Wild Child.
|
|
|
ok so kinda like RHCP?(Red Hot Chili Peppers for those not in the know)
|
|
|
Never heard of 'em.
|
|
|
well they're kinda punkk and sorta funky! it's like primus but harder
|
|
|
they have the King Of Punk in their band.
his name is Flea.

lol for such a tuff band slayer fans are so sensitive

Dear Magma,
You should check out allmusic.com if your travels into MRMB metal have been unsatisfactory. They don't push the metal-by-numbers crap like exclusively metal websites, nor do they pander to schtick-metal. Their editors have a nose for bull-shit, imo. This should be a decent reference for happening metal happenings.
Love,
Meavy Hetal

P.S. Slayer = Discharge. This is correct.
But Slayer is better.
|
|
|
Flea is the king of punk, there is none higher, sucker punk fuckers should call him sire!
Punk=Hippies
Naked City=Die Kreuzen
Poison Idea is better than Discharge.

Poison Idea is better than most "punk" bands.

Sorry stinky, I can't get into Black Breath. I gave up both times. They just remind me of all the hardcore I didn't like in the late 80s-early 90s. Maybe not quite as jock-y, but close. Nasty guitar sound and all, but the style didn't hit me.
|
|
|
i did like pallbearer
i liked high on fire
i'm in the way minority opinion that first-wave thrash was p much the last good metal, i can't really dig death or grind or black or anything that came later
i like dio a lot

To be honest, I didn't really 'get' them until I spun the new album.
PL's comparison to Entombed is pretty spot-on for me. I didn't like them until I heard the album that was the 'right' gateway to their sound (Wolverine Blues... natch)
If you've only heard Heavy Breathing and Razor to Oblivion, I urge you to give 'em one more try. Third time's the charm, no?
|
|
|
Black Breath is awesome. I'm unabashed about my fondness for about 90% of Entombed though.
|
|
|
one of my old coworkers burnt me out on entombed. for six hours straight nothing but entombed. that was a year ago. i should try again
|
|
|
|
|
|
Left Hand Path and Clandestine are both stone cold classics. And let us not forget Dismember, their first 3 albums tread similar territory quite satisfactorily.
|
|
|
Dismember I like a lot.
|
|
|
Embarassed to say that I've never heard the first two. Everything starts with Wolverine Blues for me, which I gather was a significant departure from their earlier sound.
|
|
|
Yea, the first two are solidly in the death/second wave black metal vein.
|
|
|
The first two albums are examples of idealized Swedish death metal. For whatever reason re: Entombed, a lot of people act like those are the only two albums that matter, which is a bit dramatic, I think. I think they were cool for branching away from that sooner rather than later.
|
|
|
The fact that Entombed performed with a ballet troupe makes me smile.
|
|
|
I think those first two Entombed albums are idealized because Earache ruled the roost at the time and for american kids who hadn't previously been tapped into the international tape trading scene Left Hand Path was their first exposure to that sound. At least that is how it was for me at the time. I was living in bumfuck Illinois, reading Metal Maniacs, and I could easily buy stuff on Earache, Roadrunner, and Metal Blade. At the time I had not heard bands like Bathory, Master, Mayhem, or Nihilist. The extent of my European metal knowledge was stuff like Celtic Frost, Sodom, and Destruction. Hearing Left Hand Path kinda blew the doors off a lot of stuff. I was amongst the fans very confused by Hollowman ep when it came out, then further by Wolverine Blues.
|
|
|
yeah there was a huuuuuuge divide between Entombed fans when Wolverine Blues came out right? I loooove that one maybe more than Clandestine and Left Hand Path. I think because it's such a "hooky" death metal record
|
|
|
It was just very unexpected at the time, I did not have anything analogous in my experience. Also, by '93 and '94 I was much more solidly into hardcore so I think I gave it even less of a chance. I had mostly given up on metal until I finally got some exposure to the second wave black metal stuff around '95 even though it bothered my teenage punk politics.
|
|
|
it just emboldened mine!
|
|
|
You hated jews and homosexuals too?
|
|
|
(like the black metal kids)
|
|
|
Not at all.
Maybe I meant 'esthetics' or 'spirituality' more than 'politics'.
|
|
|
I'll admit I have always had a blind spot when it came to Bad Brains. Even in my most fervent anarcho punk phase. I guess sometimes the music transcends the small mindedness and bigotry. Especially when it further inspires such great songs like PI's I Hate Reggae and GO!'s Holy Roller.
"Eat shit dreadlock motherfucker!"
Or I am just inconsistent.
|
|
|
Before the BBs went rasta they were the best live rock band since the MC5. And that's a fact. But H.R. had to go and get all "spiritual"...
|
|
|
i can't fathom not liking the early bad brains stuff
|
|
|
though i'm not entirely sure Jah is to blame for them turning into a slightly above average metal band
|
|
|
Their last album was heavy as fuck. Well produced by MCA (RIP). Even the vocals sounded good - granted the lyrics were indiscernible, but I'm okay with that; the thing SOUNDED pretty fucking good. Rock for Light is really the only "metal" of theirs I can get into otherwise.
|
|
|
meavy, what year did you see the BBs? Jealous!
|
|
|
I love "The Youth are Getting Restless" so much.
I've seen Bad Brains twice, but never seen them with HR :(
AND I was super pissed when HR broke his arm or whatever a few years back and cancelled the first ave show.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I saw Bad Brains on the Quickness tour in '89 and they were amazing. Saw Soul Brains in Vancouver in '01 and wished I hadn't.
|
|
|
hahaha was HR singing in 89?
|
|
|
Saw HR solo at Churchill's in Miami. Definitely wish I hadn't. He handcuffed some girl to him who I guess thought it wouldn't be bad idea. 4 songs later she really regretted it and it got really weird on stage. Horrible music too.
|
|
|
HR both times. The '89 show was with 24-7 Spyz and Leeway. Serious bro-down.
|
|
|
As for Swedish DM, Grotesque's "In The Embrace of Evil", Dismember's demos and the oft unsung Darkified remain my favorites.

holy fucking balls you saw Leeway? That band fuckin' rules.
I saw both Chuck Mosely and I Joseph Israel (i think that's what his name was."
They played "We care a lot" and it was kind of stupid.
|
|
|
Living in Jersey, I saw them a few times. I still bust out Desperate Measures periodically and it's pretty dated.
I'd love to see Chuck sometime, just out of morbid curiosity.
|

Saw the Brains about five years ago in Chicago. I was worried because friends told me H.R. had a bad habit of standing still and letting the band do their thing if he wasn't feeling the venue. That did not happen. The place fucking exploded. Old as they were, dudes could still being it. H.R. did no flips, however.
Sorry if my enthusiasm gave the impression that I was a forty-something fan from the hay-days. I just REALLY like the Bad Brains.

goth circus metal?
^^this video is something else!
|
|
|
Holy crap, that is awful.
|
|
|
i know but it's awful in some way i could never have imagined!
|
|
|
I love that you can get away with stuff like this in the European metal scene, though.
|
|
|
fuck dudes anything flies in Euroland.
|
|
|
Quibbling with any one thing in this video is pointless, but why do you doll everyone up for the video and then waste half of it with "behind the scenes" baloney? We see one dude harnessed and flying in front of a green screen but then never see the footage. And dudes are all "haw haw, we look stupid," which they do, of course, but then why do it at all?
Sorry, too much TAI.
|
|
|
From what I gather, the album from which this song is taken is a companion piece to a film; members of the band have various roles in said film, so that must be what you're seeing.

I was losing interest in death metal by that time too. Back then it still felt like the emerging genres were really only vital for a few years. Hardcore punk, thrash, death metal - all sort of experienced a perception of expiration only a couple years after their arrival.
I think that's part of the reason why I went along with Entombed into their later material. They were maybe sick of death metal already - which was fine because I was too.

As a teen, I never took thrash metal a la Exodus, etc to be particularly partisan. With the exception of certain bands (Nuclear Assault - clearly strongly leftist) most of them seemed to have a sort of ambiguously apolitical cynicism towards power in general. It would feel even weirder if one of 'em came out in a pro-Obama shirt.

It's because Lars Ulrich's mamma had a steel vaginoplasty, so when Fenriz puts his pp inside her it still sounds better than st anger.
|

"KILL-KILL-KILL-KILL! KILL!"
|
|
|
i just googled and Lar's mom was Lone Ulrich, deceased of cancer, 1998
|
|
|
2 soon :(
|
|
|
reading about lar's family is pretty fascinating, dexter gordon is his godfather, his dad's life as a sort of bohemian hippie jazzbo pro tennis player is awesome.
lars is probably one of the most interesting ppl in metal history from a background perspective, just because the usual tales are closer to hetfield of teenage rebellion against oppressive parents, where i'm sure in many ways the music lars listened to felt pretty safe and pedestrian and bourgeosie to his free jazz parents
i had the opportunity to interview lars once, and i must say when he turns on the charm he's pretty amazing to speak with....definitely one of my favorite interviews i ever did, he's pretty perceptive and just amazingly enthusiastic
|
|
|
Fenriz rules. Converge drools.

That explains Lars' white sweatbands circa 1988.

New Ghost track that you can listen to a sample here or get the whole thing as a free DL if you give 'em yr email address.
Sounds like Ghost. Catchy, poppy metal. If you've liked 'em before, you'll prob like this too.
|
|
|
I really can't write Ghost off anymore. They are sounding more like a castlevania soundtrack which rules in its own way.
Cool brag: Got to meet Necrobutcher and a passing out Atilla the other night. My friend's show got transferred to another venue and they were hanging out front. Jorn/Necrobutcher was really down to earth, got to talk about the Slayer mag, recording Deathcrush etc. He seemed shocked that I recognized him and told everyone how cool it was that we were listening to Deathcrush on the way to the show that night haha. Weird moment for sure. Atilla was passing out in his chair and people were taking thumbs up pictures with him. Pretty hilarious.

Whoa, Necrobutcher. One of the few dudes from that scene who actually gave me an impression of someone I would NOT like to hang out with haha. Funny to hear he was pretty amiable.

I so do not get the hype about Ghost. I fucking hate that band. Aside from the religious gimmick, I don't understand what they have to do musically with metal at all. It's so not heavy - to me it's like 3rd rate Blue Oyster Cult.

rock witch, I though of you when I saw Wintersun a couple of weeks ago. I think you would have dug them - intricate, well-constructed songs, sharp dual leads, and three-part harmonies. I was suprised by how well they pulled it off live.
|
|
|
Where was that?
|
|

Funny too, you're the second person who has said, "I thought of you" when they heard that band : ) I still haven't heard them but will check them out.

Station 4.
Actually, I met your former bandmate at that show.
|
|
|
I don't get Ghost either. I mean, it's not bad, but it doesn't do anything for me.
|
|
|
I love the shit outta Ghost. They're dumb and fun. Metal doesn't have to be serious all the time.
|
|
|
That's true, but I tend towards metal that does take itself seriously, even to a fault. Once things delve into Joke Metal territory, I can't listen to it at all. I certainly wouldn't put Ghost in that category, though. I can enjoy Maiden and dumb and fun metal, for sure... but I really wanted to like Ghost (I like what they're trying to do visually), but the music doesn't grab me.
|
|
|
i've been really into Book Of Black Earth lately.
|
|
|
I can see why people don't like ghost. It's also because they've been embraced by some UNMETAL people.
|
|
|
I don't like them because I can't get through a song without asking myself why I am not just listening to Mercyful Fate, who rule. Then I turn them Ghost off because they can't hold my attention.
|
|
|
I like them just fine good tunes just makin ya go yeeeeah dude
|
|
|
I hated Ghost but then I fell in love with the dude's vocal lines.
|
|
|
I can't listen to Ghost. Pretty much all the metal I like has that assault on the senses element to one degree or another. When you take that away what are you left with? Satanic pop-rock?
|
|
|
I love Ghost. Hooks for days. I have more than once found myself singing the chorus to Ritual out loud in public. Great stuff. 3rd rate BOC is still better than most metal.

"Hear our Satan Prayer/ Our Anti-Nicene Creed

I think it was scene politics. Consider that most of the thrash bands of the NYC area had a crossover/hardcore streak - except for Overkill - leads you to believe that hardcore punk really was ruling the roost there. Overkill had several songs to the effect of how they didn't care what people thought about them. They probably faced a lot of punk snobbery at the time.
|
|
|
"Fuck You" is a cover of the Subhumans song, so it was kinda a tribute/protest maybe?
|
|
|
They also did a great version of Sonic Reducer.

Yes. I don't understand what people think hooks so much about Ghost - even in the pop sense. They talk about them as if they're the Beatles or something, but I haven't heard anything memorable at all. Maybe I'm not hearing the right stuff.

Todolo
|

im not too into that aluk todolo stuff.. but i suppose i haven't listened to it all the way through continuously, so maybe im just not doing it right. still REALLY into the underground resistance. listening to that got me into circle the wagons, F.O.A.D., and dark thrones and black flags all over again.
ive been listening to nothing but darkthrone, nuclear assault, rhinocervs and vio-lence for the last week straight.
i also heard the new ghost song, it sounds like total crap. sounds like something sigh would've made in the early '00s, decided it was too lazy and boring and scrapped it.

Right there with ya, travism. Been listening to the Darkthrone back catalog, too.
I've learned to ignore the reviews on the internet for the mid- and late-period stuff.
Buncha butt-hurt, corpse-painted, trve cultists that HATE the perceived betrayal to the BM cause that those albums represent.

Also, Shane from Into the Void said that his distro is already sold out of the new album and they aren't pressing any more, so if you want it, better hurry up cuz they're gonna be gone quick.

todolo is great, trav. it really does take some time to work its dark mojo into yr psyche. Long format good. I actually have to turn it off sometimes cuz it starts to weave kinda sinister moods throughout the house. I put on Neil Diamond instead to level.
|
|
|
does the new darkthrone have a download code with the vinyl?
|
|
|
every album has a download code somewhere.
|
|
|
the loss of mediafire is ruining that for me
|
|
|
is mediafire done?!?!?!?!?
|
|
|
|
|
|
fenriz works for the post office?
|
|
|
The coolest dude.
|
|
|
That is indeed an awesome interview.
|
|
|
That was one of the better interviews I've read in awhile. I really like Fenriz as a person and totally believe what made them good in the early 90's was the same kind of people him and Ted are now. It's cliche, but I really can't stand anything they did when Zephyrous left. Ted even admits Goatlord is his favorite and you can tell -- they spent a lot of fucking time during that session. A Blaze in The Northern Sky is also still on weekly rotation for the past 10 years of my life.
I booked some rehearsal time with a drummer friend of mine to start something. Been awhile since I've played music/metal so I'm stoked.
|
|
|
same kind of attitude him and Ted have now*. Mostly mean I don't think they've changed much even if they came off way crazier in early interviews.
|
|
|
Am I the only headbanger who likes schizophrenia more than beneath the remains?
|
|
|
probably, yeah.
|
|
|
That was a good interview
|
|
|
I prefer Schizophrenia myself.
|
|
|
mike hi!
|
|
|
i also really like schizophrenia!
|
|
|
vox are WAY cooler than on BTR.
|
|
|
Schozophrenia's drum sound in particular is pretty dated and hard for me to take, but the material is totes solid.
|
|
|
Schozophronia. Oops.
BTW, there is an all lady doom band called Mythic from the past and you should listen to them.
Thy Future Forecast.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RP0iKfHGkXI
One of them is in Demonic Christ also. This footage is raging.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf6XF7X4rlw
|
|
|
BTW, for fans of old school BM and Les Legions Noire in particular, you gotta hear Darvulia. The album L'Alliance Des Venins is probably the best BM album I've heard from start to finish.
Can't find that album on YouTube, but trust me, and just go buy that album if you like that stuff at all. Here's something from one of their earlier ones.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUG4VrJdV_g
|
|
|
RW speaking of all lady Doom bands, check out 13. Liz Buckingham's first band from many years ago in NOLA.
|
|
|
their split w. EHG rules the school
|
|
|
Vox make up for drum sound on schizophrenia.

teddy loves soulfly
lol
teddy hi.
|
|
|
Nothing wrong with the first Soulfly record.
|
|
|
this guy knows what's up
|
|
|
|
|
|
do you guys know the band Mothership?
they switch it up between stoner type stuff and almost NWOBHM shit? i know nothing about them

Nothing wrong with the first Soulfly record.
Fucking rips, dude.
|
|
|
meh. then again, i totally thought 'roots' was lame-o.
soulfly is roots2.0
|
|
|
Against>Roots
|
|
|
Soulfly is almost as gross as Mudvayne.
|
|
|
you guys like dreadlocks?
dreadlocks hi.

|
|
|
You guys like Soulfly?
You gotta check out In Flames, they ROOL.
|
|
|
I don't think I've ever listened to Soulfly.
|
|
|
<------ unsurprisingly okay with first Mudvayne record after having Er1k Fr@tzke recommend it to him.
|
|
|
Also, while I want to like Derek Greene, pale imitation.
|
|
|
I also like first soulfly record.
Hi
|

This thread is tanking.

BACK TO THE PRIMITIVE
|
|
|
my metal knowledge ends with like Napalm Death, but this morning I streamed Wormed- Exodromos on recommendation.
|
|
|
if somebody starts praising Cavalera Conspiracy, i'm quitting the board.
|
|
|
as far as metal goes, Ratt is one of the best in the business
|
|
|
I like KISS
|
|
|
Going to see Bolt Thrower June 2. Just thought I'd remind everyone about that.
|
|
|
I like Ratt.
Almost as much as Bolt Thrower.
|
|
|
Dokken all the way, friends...
|
|
|
Dokken sucks.
|
|
|
Rhymes with rockin'
|
|
|
|
|
|
You're the one who likes Meat Loaf.
|
|
|
I sure get bored of metal sometimes.
|
|
|
Skid Row fucking cleans the floor with Ratt
|
|
|
...except Skid Row. Thanks Howie, for reminding me what matters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Big Guns! bang bang shoot em up!
|
|
|
y'all are talkin' hard rock, not metal.
STAY TRV.
|
|
|
fuck u never listen to slave to the grind?!?! that's some thrash there Big Booty Daddy
|
|
|
actually, yeah, slave to the grind is pretty metal.
reminds me of magma's story about eddie trunk on That Metal Show going to the mat for 'quicksand jesus'.
|
|
|
lol
tooth & nail and under lock and key by dokken are p good
ratt's out of the cellar is way better than burzum
|
|
|
if you can overcome your natural bias against ppl that can sing and actually write songs
|
|
|
in the last year i've really come around on actual singing in metal. I never liked Candlemass but newer bands like Christian Mistress and Pallbearer have opened my mind to REAL singing in metal
|
|
|
i like both of those bands too :)
|
|
|
Both of those bands rule. Early Priest sure is the shit.
|
|
|
Christian Mistress reminds me of Witch. They're better than Witch Mountain, which remind me of Pentagram with Grace Slick on the mic. Pallbearer kick out the jams hard.
And early Priest IS the shit, Carlax. Sad Wings of Destiny all they way, baby. Unleashed In the East - duh...
|
|
|
Sad Wings of Destiny is one of my favorite records ever. It gets so spacey and weird.
|
|
|
i looooove witch mountain
|
|
|
I'm mostly tired of unimagineative band names like Witch Mountain.
|
|
|
Wizard Wolf Witch
|
|
|
Bad spelling really pisses me off as well.
|
|
|
not every band name can be as cool as Syphilitic Vaginas
|
|
|
This label fucking rules and all of their stuff is streaming.
http://shadowkingdomrecords.bandcamp.com/
|
|
|
Sorry mags, but as much as I hate varg, his music is pretty damm nicely composed, especially for the genre. Pick another example maybe?
|
|
|
I think Mags is trolling all of the metalheads on here with that statement...
|
|
|
|
|
|
I listened to burzum & mayhem and none of those songs were as good as round & round
His ambient goth synth shit was so laughable I kinda feel bad for the stupid lunkhead, poor guy thinks he's a composer
|
|
|
& I do consider out of the cellar to be a real classic, well produced and written pop metal album, and also don't believe that pop metal is somehow less valid musically than black metal, Warren Dimartini is twice the musician nazibeardboi is
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lol party w me!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Damn where's rock witch when I need him? He'll back me up on dimartini & he's a respected metal dude
|
|
|
Mags also: dokken is truly bad music.
|
|
|
Garden of Worm, so far, are making top-notch metal music.
|
|
|
teddy - dokken isn't as good as ratt
Ratt was almost the platonic ideal of LA strip metal, to paraphrase neil young "welcome to L.A.; everything's cheaper than it looks"....listening to Out of the Cellar right now! these guys had hooks, this band was so unashamedly tacky and also much better musically than motely crue
|
|
|
that's not saying a lot.
|
|
|
Tawny Kitaen on the cover...advantage Ratt!
|
|
|
Does that mean Blink 182 win something for having Janine Lindemulder on the cover of their shitty, shitty album?
They're at least better than, say, Sum 41. Who are touring their "classic" album Does This Look Infected? I want Sleep to tour again, goddammit.
|
|
|
Blink 182's drummer is too good to be in a death metal band
|
|
|
Really? That guy seems like 10 pounds of douche in a 5 pound bag.
|
|
|
Well he is a drummer
|
|
|
Warren DiMartini and Ratt were excellent. I agree, Dokken was terrible, although George Lynch and DiMartini have very, very similar styles.
But I like Burzum too ; ) PARTICULARLY the minimalist keyboardy stuff. See early Mortiis also.
Travis Barker is the Tommy Lee of pop punk and not nearly as compelling as a drummer.
|
|
|
Prince, I've heard 13. Great stuff. Really DM influenced.
|
|
|
Whoa, I didn't realize Thomas Pioli from Ceremonium was in that band! No Longer Silent is one of my favorite albums ever.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk7rrzOOHzI
|
|
|
Rock Witch, I just re-watched that Sean Reinert video you posted when this thread began. So excellent.
|
|
|
George Lynch did his best playing on the first Lynch Mob record.
|
|
|
^^o.g. baller status opinion
lynch mob was no jake e. lee's badlands
|
|
|
badlands, of whom the classical is a big fan of, oddly? (i think?)
|
|
|
I'm with the C. Badlands has a pretty solid pedigree, man.
|
|
|
I was pretty sure I saw Dokken open for Blue Oyster Cult on the Revolution By Night Tour. Thanks to the wonders of the internet, yes, it was January 11, 1984.
I saw Ratt headline in 1985, and I'm almost sure I saw them support someone right after 'Round and Round' hit, but I can't recall who it was. Not super impressed with them either time; by '85, it was just kind of something to do in a dull town like Saginaw. They didn't have much of a show.
|
|
|
someone i got in a spotify hole and ended up listening to Metal Church's s/t debut album
i really dig their workmanlike thrash/nwobhm stuff. but maaaaan this singer suuuuucks
|
|
|
Oh, also. . .
Orbit

Hairspray metal DOES NOT COUNT.
Heh. I got slapped down already though.
|
|
|
I had the Badlands s/t on cassette.
|
|
|
Me too Bro.
Yeah metal church also sucked terribly.
Trav I got a recent cynic album hoping for good things, but Sean is the only element worthwhile. Its got great chops but is just really hookless kinda emo-thrash-prog. Pretty icky.
|
|
|
Ew. I never trusted Cynic.
|
|
|
I wanted to like Cynic a lot, but I really just can't.
|
|
|
i tried to listen to that Cynic record that came out three years ago. and ish. wow so bad
|
|
|
I have wondered for years why there are so many Italian-American metal/hair-metal guitarists and bassists.
|
|
|
Cynic is gross.
|
|
|
Yeah, that's the one Howie . P bad.
Zom, I don't know if that's facetious, but I always thought it was simply part of the glamour-macho culture that accounted for that.
|
|
|
I'm serious.. ever since I started reading Guitar Player in like 1973 it seemed like there were quite a bit of guitarists with Italian surnames. It continued on with Metal.
I am just saying.
Oh and Ratt sucks.
|
|
|
Bravado is a silly forte for "my people". My grandmas wardrobe could be mistaken for one of these lead guitarists, for example.
|
|
|
Shes from the jersey shore
|
|
|
Vito Bratta of white lion was so italian
|
|
|
No way.
|
|
|
Is Nuno Bettencourt italian or greek?
|
|
|
I believe that's a French name
|
|
|
wikipedia says Nuno is porteguese
|
|
|
Manowar must've had at least one Italian i bet

oh god of course and RONNIE JAMES DIO

John Petrucci of Dream Theater surely must be

C.C. Deville seems aggressively italian

steve albini speaking fake italian in that Silkworm doc is a beauty to behold.

So I went again on my search for the self-titled Badlands release last night to no avail. I think it originally came out on Atco, and so maybe the rights to it have fallen into the format/rights void. There were whisperings of a re-realease, but I don't think it ever happened. I did find a link to the whole album on YouTube and got to listen to it again for the first time since it came out (I was a sophomore in HS I think?). It holds up shockingly well, particularly in the production. They were like a better Whitesnake - in fact, the riff on the first song is VERY similar to Still of The Night. But they had Jake E Lee, Ray Gillen was 20 times the vocalist and the production is not so dated. I always thought Ray Gillen was Ian Gillen's brother or something!
My favorite Jake Lee thing is still "Ultimate Sin" by Ozzy. Andy Johns!
Anyway, if anyone can find it, please let me know...
I love Metal Church : ) - that first album and Blessing In Disguise particularly. The later singer was better, but I don't mind the old guy. Drummer is excellent, good riffs/songs.
Cynic is terrible, but we can thank them for Death's "Human," which was basically that band with Chuck Schuldiner. at the helm. Trav, I'm assuming you have that album? They were 17 when they did that! Amazing. Relapse re-released it last year with a ton of bonus tracks, including the original demos. It had to be re-mixed by Jim Morris because the original mixes were lost by Relativity, but thankfully he had kept the masters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
"ha they should make a c.c. deville bio pic and cast joe pesci."
ha ha!
|
|
|
I always thought Albini was Polish or something, despite the name?
|
|
|
something about the production of 'blessing in disguise' always kinda gave me a stomach ache.
|
|
|
It's kind of cold and eerie sounding.
|
|
|
it has more to do with the sound of the low end....Obituary did a similar thing to my young hesher tumtum.
|
|
|
Oh yeah, it's Terry Date. Who did Cowboys From Hell. I think that production is much worse for Pantera.
|
|
|
Ha, there's a song called Badlands on that album.
|
|
|
truthfact: i sometimes momentarily confuse Badlands with Arc Angels.
|
|
|
Yeah RW, I LOVE Human. Reinert's drumming on that album blew me away when I first heard it. Such awesome riffs, too. Especially after putting out a classic like Spiritual Healing, completely raising the bar with Human is just absolutely untouchable. I'm gonna listen to Death all day, now.
|
|
|
spiritual healing totes rules
|
|
|
The drums on Spiritual Healing are so simple yet so effective.
|
|
|
the cover art also holds a special place in my heart.
death metal albums from the 90s had such classic cover art.
|
|
|
Indeed, I actually hadn't heard Spiritual Healing until like 2 years ago. Drum sound is much more 80s, but more brutal than "popping."
The opening to this still fucks my head:

i want to take an art class where you learn how to draw like that.
|
|

Yeah, I think that a lot of that thrash revival stuff is a retro cash-in. I never understood why that happened.
I didn't realize he did all of the classic Megadeth stuff!

the only reason i knew of him was them megadeth jawns

Fantastic sludgy black metal from France. Heard about it from Metal Storm. Early pick for my top 10 of the year. <a href="http://rlht.bandcamp.com/">Regarde Les Hommes Tomber</i>

RW, Amazon has copies of the first Badlands record (although a little on the spendy side). I just waded through the Wikipedia - didn't realize they had three albums and that Gillen and Jake were constantly fighting because Atlantic wanted them to be commercial and Ray wrote a bunch of "hits" that Jake wouldn't record.
|
|
|
Any big timers in here see the Death/Pestilence/Carcass show at the Varsity in 1989 for which I recently saw the flyer? If so, I am very jealous. Those were 3 of my favorite bands at the time, but I was like 12, so seeing them was not gonna happen.
|
|
|
|
|
|
That band sucks so hard.
|
|
|
Yup
|
|
|
they are ok to me but ppl compare them to BOC and i'm like get the fuck outta here son
|
|
|
They sound like Children of Bodom or something trying to play Candlemass.
|
|
|
Plus people call them "metal" and I'm like get the fuck outta here son
|
|
|
the singer doesn't have the same range but his vocal melodies recall mercyful fate a bit
but yeah they are more just AOR era BOC w/o everything that makes BOC cool and fascinating
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ghost can't hold BOC's jock
|
|
|
i like ghost. it's pretty enjoyable
|
|
|
to poop on
|
|
|
poop goes in a toilet spike
|
|
|
Not even the best band called Ghost.
|
|
|
I will never not like Ghost. Excited for the May show!
|
|
|
They are ok, I might go if I can get in free
|

Holy shit, there's a show. And what a venue for it. Goddamn.
I didn't realize that the bakery near Memory Lanes used to be The Mirage, where a lot of legendary metal shows happened back in the early 90s.
|
|
|
I think about meeting Away there and showing him my Angel Rat tattoo every time I eat french bread.
|
|
|
Saw a few shows at the Mirage, not as many as I should have. Too bad it isn't still going, given its proximity to the Greenway.
|
|
|
Saw Motörhead there once, and went to one of the Godflesh shows that didn't feature Godflesh there as well.
|
|
|
?
|
|
|
I saw Strutter there.
Also Gneissmaker.
I think Chance and I played there, too.
|
|
|
Trux, godflesh cancelled a couple shows in MSP in the 90's.
I seriously went to the Mirage as often as I went to first ave. Saw TONS of shows there. I won't go into the bakery.
best Mirage show? I've said it before...
Kyuss, opening for Biohazard, headliner was Fishbone :
saw Voivod there twice, mercyful fate, king diamond, pantera in 91 with wrathchild america (for pitpat)...obituary, death, cannibal corspe, six feet under, all the midwest metal bands, ie broken hope, thought industry, angel corpse.
fuckin' all of it man!!!
sacred reich, overkill, DRI, cathedral, Napalm Death, Carcass (towards the end when they got a little cheesy...) my brain is toast but I'm pretty sure I saw a later version of Nuclear Assault (when Lilker had left)
Death was really a highlight on the Individual Thought Patterns tour with Hoglan drumming.
I saw Mindfunk there. Ouch.
|
|
|
oh yeah the other best Mirage show
Trouble
Cathedral
Density Bomb was the opener :)
1994
|
|
|
I was at that Fishbone/Biohazard/Kyuss show, too, now that I think about it. Missed Kyuss tho. Rest of the show was kinda boring, IMO.
|
|
|
yeah it was only the best because of Kyuss :)
|
|
|
Goddamn.
|
|

balloon boy is in a metal band with other middle school kids
someone who is not at work, listen to this and gripe about it pls
|
|
|
i've heard worse. They don't sound much different than some of that 70's Euro Garage shit that everyone seems to love.
|
|
|
|
|
|
i forgot i'd posted this.
now that i'm home i could listen to the sound. the videos are much better than the music, but neither is very good.
|
|
|
preorders are in for new Ash Borer and Fell Voices jawns from Gillead.
the wait is killing me.

the kids sound a lot like DWARR!!!!

(CNN) -- The lead singer of the metal band As I Lay Dying was arrested Tuesday and charged with attempting to hire a hit man, the San Diego County Sheriff's Department said.
Authorities said Tim Lambesis tried to contract an undercover detective to kill his estranged wife. He is charged with solicitation of another to commit murder.
A message for the band's representative was not immediately returned.
As I Lay Dying was nominated in 2008 for a Grammy Award for best metal performance. They have released seven studio albums and a live CD, according to their website.
|
|
|
!!!!
|
|
|
wtf I don't know that band but that is fucked up.
So dumb.
|
|
|
Two good things to come out of this:
1) Nobody got murdered
2) No more records from that band
|
|
|
they were initially marketed as 'christian metal' lol
|
|
|
hopefully all similarly sentence-fragment-named bands will disappear too.
|
|
|
It's more metal to do your own killing. Plus then you can also defile the corpse, which is even more metal.
|
|
|
I'll do anything for scene points, for sure.
|
|
|
Hey folks, I can no longer attend the Cannibal Corpse, Napalm Death, Immolation show at Mill City on Sun May 26th. I would love to sell the ticket for $20 if someone wants it. I think I paid $29 with fees. Thanks.

no shit right. my memory is pretty foggy, but i was at the show in 2009 at big v's when ashdautas and volahn were supposed to play. can't remember if he (volahn) played however. i remember the singer from ashdautas stepped on his cape and fell off the stage on his side. sick show though.
i haven't heard bilirubin yet, but it looks right up my alley.

Ashdautas, hahaha, I knew they wore capes. So stoked about Arizmenda and Blue Hummingbird on the Left. Fuck. I really hope that show is somewhere as awesome as that lineup. If its at med I'm literally going to clean it top to bottom to compensate.
