Heavy Music thread

brave words & bloody knuckles

much smaller than metal archives forums

 

i'm reading the this thread right now http://bb.bravewords.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=153287

it's pretty funny

 

One thing I like about MA over BWBK is you can view old posts going back for years. BWBK only goes back a couple months and everything else gets purged.

 

that Inquisition album with the impossibly long name is fucking sick

 

I prefer their previous album to the new one.

 

Grossly overlooked debut, but does boast of an average rating of 92% on Metal Archives. Signed to Elektra a year before Metallica, multiple songs on this album were written and demo recorded in '81 and '82. Personal favorite is track two, 'Metal Church'.

 

Avantasia like the metal opera avantasia? Had no idea that was still a thing. Will listen.

 

No idea. Hadn't heard them before.

I made a Spotify list with the top 25ish records on this list and have been listening to it on shuffle. Good stuff.

 

Also dope is the new Asphyx record, Incoming Death.

really catchy riffage and songwriting.

 

Just now listening to the eternal champion. This is my kind of shit right here. I get a bit of Savatage vibe with some of those high pitched yells.

 

Anybody listen to Car Bomb? They released an album last fall that I missed, but just started listening to.

I'm a fan so far. This is about as close to metalcore as I can go. I think they're doing Meshuggah better than Meshuggah did last year.

 

I can do some metalcore, some Meshuggah, but you combine the two and I'm lost. I'm not the expert on metalcore though so I'll defer to AIP

 

I'm with you for the most part on metalcore. If it's super proggy, I can dig it, but it gets really old to me quickly.

I don't think this will be a life changer album, but it's interesting enough for a couple spins.

 

Khemmis still on repeat

 

That Sumerlands record is worth the hype. Very good classic metal sound.

 

mastodon, eagles of death metal, and russian circles are touring together

 

Love Russian circles

 

Wish they were in a headline tour. Not terribly interested in the others

 

Saw them at a club play alone for like three hours

 

that mastodon tour is $42 for general admission and $52 for the balcony, not including fees

meh

 

Wow, that's Tool pricing. Fucking rock stars.

 

To me Eagles of Death Metal is like if you took a lamer version of every band Josh Homme has been in and combined them. Jesse Hughes also seems like a douche bag.

I think I paid $30 before fees to see Mastdon, Gojira, and Kvelertak a few years ago.

In terms of their playing, Mastodon is probably the best band I've seen live. No one in that band can sing, though.

 

Fun fact, the reason the band is called that is because Homme and Hughes were having a conversation about actual death metal.

Someone brought up Vader, and said they were "like The Eagles of death metal."

They thought that was funny, so then they called the band that.

 

Love me some Vader.

 

Well, that makes sense.

 

what are y'all listening to?

i've been spinning Mithras' album, On Strange Loops.

it's highly progressive death metal, but with a ton of Morbid Angel influence.

 

is Oathbreaker any good? Khemmis is opening for them

 

i think i found the lamest thing http://megadethbootcamp.com/

 

They've been discussed in this thread before. New album is solid.

Really, really heavy. Has that abrasive, grindcore-ish sound in some songs.

 

I've only listened to a couple of their songs, but Mandroid Echostar might be close.

 

Yes. Definitely going to that show

 

Gazpacho?

 

Power Trip released a couple new tracks for their upcoming album due in February.

 

can we get burnttatertot to make an appearance?

 

Will she be getting naked like in their videos?

 

is there a woman involved?

i recently reclaimed my modest collection of music. i thought that we could celebrate with

 

Jordan Rudess from Dream Theater thinks that these are good albums featuring the most metal instrument: the keyboard

Anyone have a presale code they want to lend me?

apparently Mastodon is going to be on Austin City Limits in the spring. cool.

 

Stumpfest lineup also announced.

 

The Elder night looks good

 

New Havok song. Once again they lack the bite they had with the "Time Is Up" album.

 

I don't like metal core

 

Looks like I'll see them in philly

 

I might even before that Elder/Intronaut night

As a side note, Lord Dying played like a 15-20 minute mini opening set before the first time I saw Ghost. They had the stage presence of a nervous karaoke singer. At one point, the drummer tried to pump up the 40 people who were there early enough to see them, and the crowd laughed lol.
