Heavy Music thread

I will listen to this next.

 

My top 5 so far this year would probably be —
VEGARD ‘AEONS OF WINTER ECLIPSE’

HAIL CONJURER ‘HAIL & FIRE’

PRIMITIVE KNOT ‘FIGHT THE FUTURE’

YAUTJA ‘THE LURCH’

BIG|BRAVE ‘VITAL’


Also for anyone who into this sort of thing, PRIMITIVE KNOT did a decidedly fun covers album that he just released:



And Heavy Mental you may dig IN GOWAN RING (if you aren’t already familiar) if you like stuff in the general feel of that PANOPTICON track you posted

 

thanks. I will check them out for sure

 

new Spirit Adrift single

these guys just rule

 

I didn't realize At the Gates had a new album. Shit is fucking terrible. Like what the hell?

 

hmm. I liked it much better than anything else they’ve released since they reunited.

The songwriting was quite good

 

This makes me quite optimistic it's going to rule.

 

its really damn good I think

 

well, that’s the closest to consensus we’ve had around these parts lol

 

This was excellent. Second track was my favorite, melody coming out of nowhere.

 

Iron Maiden teasing something on the 15th, a lot of people think it’s a new album

 

I liked this Vegard record, has a Summoning-esque vibe to it. I actually don’t even like Summoning all that much (kinda slow), but this was interesting nonetheless.

In Gowan Ring was pretty good too, nice and folky.

 

Just discovered this band Heathen Deity, they are like an English version of Gorgoroth (Under the Sign of Hell-era).

This track utterly rips, True English Black Metal lol.

 

Also, this band Ænigmatum is from around you guys (Portland, I think), Butthead burnttatertot.

The singles from their upcoming album are good.

 

Summoning is probably top 5 for me for Metal bands. Their world building sound is second to none I think. But I tend towards slower music in general.

 

That album art looks cool. Will check them out.

 

That’s what initially got me as well.

 

do you guys have me on ignore? :(

 

ah, sorry man - I definitely missed this when you posted it.

great stuff, I pre-ordered the vinyl.

How good is 20 Buck Spin? what a label

 

Never heard “world building” used in a musical context before but I like it

 

Some quality releases on that label for sure!

 

Summoning isn't a band I've ever been able to get into. Had the 3 or so albums they released in the 90's, couldn't make it through their 7-10 minute songs back then.

 

Big fan of the proggy stuff in the two songs I listened to this morning.

 

i think they only get better with each album. Particularly with “Stronghold” they hit their stride. At the 2:00 mark



“Like moments clustered in a crowded year,
today’s great sadness, or tomorrow’s fear;
faint echoes fade within their drowsy halls
like ghost; the daylight creeps across their walls.”
(From Old Morning’s Dawn)

 

Maiden released a new single today, first new music in 6 years. Sort of bluesy for the first half then some classic Maiden solos at the end.

Just a reminder that the live Mastodon show at the Georgia Aquarium is tonight at 9ET. $24.95 for online access.

Hopefully we get Leviathan straight through considering the venue. I’ve seen them play Crack the Skye in full live the year of release and 10 year anniversary.

 

Are you aware that it's acoustic? Because I didn't when I saw the announcement

 

I did not aware it was acoustic or I forgot about it. But I’m still going to watch live.

 

Most depressing riffs in Metal? Maybe this is just for us slow sad metal guys

~9 min mark

~10:15 mark

Kinda just the whole song

Opening

 

No, it's this. 4:24 mark. They take a sad, killer riff and speed it up. It's awesome

 

Katatonia's Great Cold Distance album comes to mind

 

yeah, when I think sad, heavy music, I always think of Katatonia.

admittedly the super slow melancholy stuff is not my forte…

 

Discouraged Ones is my Katatonia of choice. Great band

 

theres definitely some redundancy in the ones I posted (first two songs specifically) that is lost if you just skip to the riff but yeah, I dig this

 

Might be my all time favorite song.

 

I couldn't even guess how many times I've listened to that album since its release.

 

2007




Godly album. 1997




Blatant Anathema copy but very well done. 1999




Another godly album. 1991

 

We may differ on depressing.

 

That IN THE WOODS album is *chefs kiss*

 

how was this?

 

Somebody has heard At The Gates.




C'mon guys, I'm all for some influence but holy shit.

 

i was listening back through Katatonia stuff today. i feel like if they were american, they'd be a lot bigger.

anyway, i like this song on its own, but i can see how Mikael Akerfeldt and Jonas Renske would be friends

 

They are absolutely playing a Metal Zone pedal

I’m into it.

 

love that artwork and theme.

hope Iron Maiden keeps going strong.

 

thats a day 1 shirt purchase for me

 

Listened to the whole thing. Absolute rip off. But I loved it. Has the right pissed off vibe that I dig.

 

Sounds like Be’lakor has finished their new album.

 

Why does every European metal band have to make awesome shirts that are then ruined by having something stupid on the back?
