I use to laugh at my dad when couldn't figure out the VCR. You whippersnappers will experience the same rude awakening the rest of us do.
Are you not familiar with 90's Prong? They had quite a bit of success with 'Cleansing'. My buddy sees them every time they come to town, he's never been able to convince me to go though.
Korn is definitely familiar with Prong. From Prongs wiki page: "Prong has influenced many notable musicians such as Korn's Jonathan Davis, Demon Hunter's Ryan Clark, and Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor.[24][25]"
this is one of my favorite releases from the Icelandic black metal scene. most of the stuff that comes from those bands is really dissonant and abrasive (a la Deathspell Omega), which isn’t really my thing. On this album it seems like these guys from Misþyrming have found a way to work in melody with that dissonance and it clicks pretty well. Side note: guy on the album cover looks like he’s doing a kettlebell swing. Can’t unsee it.
There are two Opeth songs that I really want to see live. Saw them play "Wreath" in 2008, just need to see Blackwater Park and The Night and the Silent Water..........or Reverie/Harlequin Forest. It's gonna be my first big metal show in a while, I'm pretty pumped.
The best set I saw was when they opened for Dream Theater in 2008. Blew them out of the water. Master's Apprentice The Baying of the Hounds In My Time of Need Wreath Heir Apparent The Drapery Falls
Do you guys not look up the set list before going to the show? Svekets prins Play Video The Leper Affinity Play Video Hjärtat vet vad handen gör Play Video Reverie/Harlequin Forest Play Video Nepenthe Play Video Moon Above, Sun Below Play Video To Rid the Disease Play Video The Lotus Eater Play Video Allting tar slut Play Video Encore: Sorceress Play Video Deliverance
that's a much more subdued set than their last big tour round Sorceress Play Video Ghost of Perdition Play Video Demon of the Fall Play Video The Wilde Flowers Play Video Face of Melinda Play Video In My Time of Need Play Video Cusp of Eternity Play Video The Drapery Falls Play Video Heir Apparent Play Video The Grand Conjuration Play Video Encore: Deliverance (preceded by snippets of requested songs)
these Max Volume Silence recordings from St. Vitus in Brooklyn are all superb quality. Sounds like it's taken straight from the mixer. tons of great bands too. St. Vitus is probably the single best metal venue in the US.
Definitely a soundboard recording. Sexthrash69 has a lot of the shows that go through California, not quite the sound quality though.
Opeth had a great set tonight. Leper Affinity Reverie/ Harlequin Forest The Lotus Eater Deliverance Sorceress And all the songs I like from the new album.
So nothing from the new album? How'd his voice sound? Dignity especially seems like it would be a hard one to do live
Honestly proud of L.A last night, we have a reputation for being a shitty audience. We had a big ass pit down the middle of the whole ground floor for pretty much the whole show. They opened with Dignity, and there was a moment where his voice didn't sound super solid. By the end of the night he was singing like a golden god.
joe it's been a while since I've fished for likes, well really like, with my currently listening to Still Life posts, but I'm currently listening to Still Life still really disappointed to see how little traction my Godhead's Lament write in got during that Lost in Vegas tournament a while back shaking my damn head
I mean I don't dislike Blackwater Park, but how that plodding shit is so overwhelmingly their most popular will forever I don't know how to finish this sentence
Still Life is my favorite album in my favorite genre by my favorite band, so feel free to fish for likes more often LiV listening to Godhead's Lament would have been awesome because there are 3 or 4 parts in the song that I think define that style of progressive metal. Anyway, the two LiV guys are adults (early 30s if I had to guess) with their own tastes that had been developed well before they dove into metal for the first time and I envy them so much for that. The guy on the left is basically me every time I'm listening alone in the car or mowing my lawn or whatever.
I don't because I think I missed the hate. I didn't really listen to an Opeth album until 2007 or 2008, and even then I wasn't into the death metal vocals.
Shitwater Park came out to a lot of early poor reviews, Opeth drifted further away from what the old fans liked but gained a much bigger base in the end.
lol Blackwater Park isn’t metal? Now I’ve heard it all. 1. morningrise 2. still life 3. my arms 4. orchid 5. blackwater 6. deliverance 7. ghost rev don’t listen to any other albums really.
as a Johnny Come Lately this album came out the gates hot but hasn't had quite the staying power with me sorry that wasn't a question
still listening to that Nocturnalia album. it's nothing super special or groundbreaking but for some reason it's had major staying power for me
This Wilderun album is incredible. I'm on my second listen now, and I never thought I'd say that based on my first impression
this is maybe where the genre thing breaks down. i only care about labels like that to the extent that it tells me something about what the band is going to sound like
i suppose all thrash with a darker feel and harsh vox is death thrash to me. black fast and this fellows band are pretty similar in feel despite the difference in vocal styles. vektor is much of the same just of the progressive variety. again, just how i interpret things.
