even in a genre with ridiculous album titles and band names in general, Where Owls Know My Name has to be one of the 5 worst album titles i've seen
related to the above ^^ I've been revisiting albums that I love over the past few days. A lot. Individual Thought Patterns by Death absolutely rules. The playing is so tight with these weird transitions all album long. I still think Human is better, for my own taste at least, but good lord the playing on ITP is so good
I also assume that I'm listening to a remaster because Gene Hoglan is blasting my ears off but I don't mind it
i've listened to this song like 40 times since friday btw the rhythm guitar/bass riff during the big solo here owns
most bands would kill for a riff like that, but Death just throws it in under the MASSIVE Andy LaRocque solo
some King Diamond albums are being re-released. i pre-ordered Abigail. Let’s talk about Mercyful Fate/King Diamond. vocals are an acquired taste, but I very much like Melissa, Don’t Break The Oath, Abigail, and Them. some of the other albums are far too cheesy for me, but in general, MF/KD belongs in the same breath as Maiden and Judas Priest. those early albums have some great metal riffs
Thank you to everyone who checked out Haiduk and to Odin & burnttatertot for the comments. Glad you like it. I do everything (solo project)
if I can be completely honest Julie Christmas made Cult of Luna infinitely more enjoyable tbh I realize that's like an impossible quantification but honestly you just have to trust me here
album also shows that a track can't go wrong as long as "Cygnus" is part of the title* *3 track sample size
well youtube recommended this Slift album to me and I couldn't resist, about five minutes deep into this thing and yes
i'm listening to Emperor of Sand by Mastodon again after watching that Brann Dailor drumming video i wonder if there is a point when a band's playing gets to a certain point, and maybe their fame, that we just don't really care about what they are doing.
the guitar-playing is so good that it makes me reconsider my own maybe i'm just lit but bill kelliher is like the best riff guy from the past 20 years. and this album is so good in that way, but they just bury him so badly on like every song
im going to get real high and listen to that native construct album that i'm apparently never going to get another one of
