watching youtube stuff apparently Brent Hinds's nickname from when Mastodon had some small shitty van instead of a tour bus was Gassius Clay
Saw Dying Fetus on Friday. Small bill, small venue and they sounded great. Haven't seen them in probably 10 years. New shit sounds tight too.
Listened to the Mastodon album. It's not terrible but not particularly memorable, pretty much like the last two. There are keyboards. They at least attempted a prog song at the end.
I fucking love Mastodon, and I haven't listened to the Hunter in a very long time. Still listen to some stuff on Once More Round the Sun though. Big fan of Andromeda.
You might like this new one then. I'm just kind of bored of this alternative metal thing they're doing.
I'm not saying The Hunter is the best album, I'm just saying give him the easily accessible album first then let him explore the more progressive side from there.
they're like protest the hero with a post-metal vocalist and no prog elements. I'm sure all of their fans have closets full of flannel and we're huge periphery and taking back Sunday fans.
This probably one of my top 3 bands all time, not sure if anyone has mentioned them, but they just released this new video. The fucking baseline is so damn good.
Saw them live at some point I believe. Must not have been memorable or maybe I was working the show. Who knows.
Seem the in Columbus, In a small venue. Was pretty damn solid, good energy and sound was pretty solid.
Oh there's plenty of metal out there with clean vocals. Check out some power metal or traditional doom. Of course the old school metal like Iron Maiden or Judas Priest style too.
On first spin of new Pallbearer. Like it quite a bit, different than the previous two. Not sure I prefer it to Foundations; definitely not blowing nuts like most reviewers. Will need a couple more solid listens.
