Unacceptable

 

I don't think odin has ever sort of liked something

 

Listening to the last Enslaved while I package up cd shipments. Why does this band have such a rabid fan base? Last album I paid any attention to was Monumension about 15 years ago, remember it sucking so bad I wrote the band off. Their first 4 albums were good but their base seems to like the direction they took after 2000 and I just don't get it.

 

Big fan of Enslaved. Stopped thinking of it as black metal long ago. Pretty unique sound, in my opinion.

 

That's my favorite thing about them. They don't sound like black metal

 

Exactly what I was thinking to myself last night while listening to that first 10 minute song, "sounds like Opeth had they not gone 70's prog and Akerfeldt's voice went the way of Chris Barnes."

 

I don't really see the Opeth comparison. I guess Enslaved started with raw Norwegian black metal and added prog elements. Opeth started with Swedish death metal and added prog elements, eventually nixing all traces of death metal.

Both are great bands, but I think the comparison really stops after "took [x] and added prog elements."

 

jesus christ that was awful

 

i haven't been in a place where i can listen to music today but i was skeptical about a band that willingly goes with a bad pun like that

 

Fwiw, I thought it was okay. For my own taste, it was too djenty and kind of seemed like it was making fun of Buckethead with the killswitch stuff. That dude can clearly play, though.

 

think I’m going to see Rings Of Saturn and Allegaeon on Saturday.

 

sounds like these guys have listened to mastodon a little bit

 

I might actually like that better than recent mastodon.

 

Gozu is great but welcome to 8 years ago. Quite popular in the stoner rock crowd.

 

I thought the Between the Buried and Me album was okay. There are some cool parts but their sound is kind of stale for me

Plus it's kind of short

 

They’re putting out the rest of it in June.

 

Any fans of Inquisition on here? They’re finally coming to Nashville and I’m pretty fucking stoked. Also didn’t know if this had been discussed yet:

 

Big Inquisition fan. I love their latest album, really good stuff. They remind me of Immortal, in all the best ways.

I bought tickets to Watain and Destroyer 666 later this month, going to be great.

 

Can’t believe Destroyer 666 is still going. Did you ever listen to Sadistik Exekution?

 

Antifa would like a word with you two.

 

They have a recent album and a new EP, both of which slay.

Negative - what’s that all about?

 

*Not to change the subject, but....Have you guys heard Profane Order?

 

.....Or My personal new favorite, Ascending Dead

 

If the first 1:30 of Ascending Dead doesn't give you goosebumps, idk what to tell you

 

For whatever reason that Profane makes me want to listen to Rotting.

 

Addicted to the new Judas Priest and totally didn't expect to be. Hell of an album. I thoroughly enjoy every track. "Traitor's Gate" is perhaps the best if I had to choose one.

Other favorite releases so far this year:

Saxon - Thunderbolt
Tribulation - Down Below
Visigoth - Conqueror's Oath
Solstice - White Horse Hill

 

I've been wanting to listen to Solstice
I just can't get excited about Tribulation
Started listening to the new Judas Priest last night. So far, so good

 

new Judas Priest is an awesome album. I was never really that big of a fan but I’ve been listening to it regularly.

Another band that I can’t stop listening to right now is Harakiri for the Sky. They have 2 albums 2018/16 vintages that are both amazing: Arson, and III: Trauma.

It’s atmospheric black metal with very catchy guitar melodies, and acoustic interludes. Like Drudkh/Agalloch/Isis combined with some Gothenburg melodeath guitar leads over the top. Really well done.

 

I liked one of their albums from the 90's, don't remember what it was called.

 

nuclear blast is having a decent sale http://shop.nuclearblast.com/en/sho...tm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_content=&utm_term=

you can get that dope night flight orchestra album for $9
http://shop.nuclearblast.com/en/products/sound/cd/cd/the-night-flight-orchestra-amber-galactic.html

 

Night Flight Orchestra = un dope
In all seriousness, they have potential, but I don't see how anybody can call NFO "Heavy"
They honestly remind me of Boston more than anything

 

The Crown = Dope

 

Also play this loud to scare your neighbors

 

when are gonna get new ghost stuff

 

when you complete sentences
