I saw a band called Necropanther on Angry Metal Guy so I had to listen. Surprisingly decent melo death type stuff
An older band (1968-1972) Mikael Akerfeldt hasn't ripped off.... yet. Seeing the last Opeth on year end lists is really triggering me.
This is the most recent setlist I could find: Setlist share setlist Above the Water Play Video Candlelight Play Video Bloodletting Play Video Three Gates Play Video Isolation Play Video Maw of Time
they are the headliner, so i imagine it will be something like that, but with Hunted and Flesh to Nothing coming from when i looked at their setlist.fm page about a week ago
there isn't any, they just came up next in my shuffle but i did see In Solitude open for Watain at the Hawthorne theater and i think i was the only person in there not wearing leather
plus you've got that MLS Cup victory to your name while joe's poor Timber Army is in shambles right now
this is exactly what I'd say too when the best player on my team got kicked to the curb for failing to not take a bunch of drugs after falling to MLS because he took a bunch of drugs really makes you think
I use to pull RATM from the radio playlist and replace it with The Melvins and Offspring. You're welcome Seattle.
This was one of Angry Metal Guy's albums of the month, but I never listened. I wish I had because it's good. It reminds me more of this cover by them than their actual albums
This was really good. Maybe it's just how I made my way into this stoner rock sound, but is Josh Homme the most underrated guitar player of the last 30 years? 75% of these bands sound like Kyuss or Queens of the Stone Age, which isn't a bad thing because I love both. Was there some piece of equipment that became available when he started writing music? I know we had this talk about that Swedish Melo Death sound that came from some piece of equipment that came out right around when At The Gates started making music
He’s apparently very protective about his tone, and uses custom made guitars and amps so it’s difficult to tell. The one main verifiable thing that he does differently is play exclusively with the neck pickup on his guitars. The neck pickup is waaaaay warmer, muffled, and has more bass than the bridge pickup. 99.9% of players use the neck pickup sparingly (usually on solos or on “clean” portions without distortion). Homme cranks that motherfucker and loads it up with some kind of fuzz distortion. So cool.
I don’t know if anyone here likes crusty punk stuff. I grew up playing shit like that but with more thrash and grind influences. I stumbled on this today. Pretty cool.
Fuck. Yes. I was a Scorps junkie before I found Twisted Sister in '84. Some call them metal but I don't so my metal obsession didn't start until TS arrived in my life. My first music obsession was a track by The Kinks called Destroyer. I would sit in my room for hours just waiting for that track to come on the radio.
