Heavy Music thread

Dicks or not, it's a good album.

 

I noticed sceneaccess is also dead. Not sure at what point it happened, I've been too occupied with listing cds. I only have about 2,500 more to list.

 

if my internet research memory is correct, they were all about ~18 when that album was recorded

 

realistically nothing could ever replace What, which was by far the largest repository of music in history. apparently it had 3-4x as many albums as spotify, or whatever the biggest streaming service is... and all perfectly-ripped in a lossless format

 

now i'm listening to that In Solitude album for the 100th time

that riff at 0:30

 

Don't think I've ever been there. I don't trust other people to do my ripping, metaltracker is chalked full of upconverted garbage. I make my own AIFFs.

 

other than burnttatertot's basement, obviously

 

What was meticulous about rips. if nothing else, it required a 100% log file. it wasn't uncommon for albums to have multiple rips of the same source. this is how i stumbled upon the god of vinyl rips: pbthal

 

I'll never understand the popularity of vinyl. Then again, cassettes are being produced by many metal labels now, millennials are obviously retarded.

 

sometimes vinyl has a different sound. and sometimes it's better.

 

mostly it's better on older albums. In the Court of the Crimson King's vinyl rip by someone like pbthal is something that i like a lot. the vinyl rip of Mastodon's newest album is not likely to sound any different than the CD version.

 

I only take vinyl rips when something was never released on CD. I feel bad for vinyl guy though, so many things were never issued on vinyl from the 90's on. Here's one example:

 

i detect a breakdown in there

 

I'm fine with breakdowns if they're done right. Here's my fav.

 

that song is weird. basically death metal and then... breakdown.

breakdowns always remind me of that old youtube video where the dudes jumped out of the trunk of their ford explorer and did their hardcore dance thing in front of people coming out of a movie theater

 

i like the breakdown in this song. actually i liked the whole album

 

but then i switched back over to this in my recommended stuff in the sidebar

 

That Misery Signals was tough for me to get through. I bet All Shall Perish would be tough for me to get through if I heard it today for the first time and not 2003.

 

it was the keyboard wasn't it

 

They're certainly no Rhapsody.

 

Children of Bodom are the best keyboard band and it's not close

Spoiler

i am serious though

 

on that note: with the way he can write and play, i feel like brendon small could have been at the front of an all-time great metal band.

unfortunately i will always associate his playing style with a parody of metal. and the parody is so good that i actually like his songs a lot

 

i guess it doesn't hurt when you have the guy that played drums on Individual Thought Patterns playing with you

 

I was all about that first album when it came out. Actually, I had a promo of it before the release, thought it was damn good. First three albums were actually good, then they hit a wall.

 

At first glance I thought you posted the Hel album. I should have known better.

 

i will find a band someday that you have not heard of.

i also knew that, deep down, you loved keyboard.

for me nothing can really touch Hatebreeder. it's one of the few from anyone that seems to get better with age.

 

The venue looks cozy.

 

I believe you had one a few months back. I may not have given you credit for it.

 

most likely from radio fenriz, so probably i did not find it

 

their name isn't doing them any favors

 

they do have a lady bass player, which seems pretty rare, especially for death metal. i think baroness is the only "major" band i've seen with a female lead guitar player.

 

You probably have some female fronted metalcore on your playlist I haven't heard of.

 

only this

 

Within Temptation is god.

 

this group opened for Ghost the second time i saw them

 

don't forget The Charm, The Fury

 

actually Purson's album The Circle and the Door is pretty good if you're into that psychedelic sound.

 

i think they borrowed the guy that plays guitar for Rhapsody on this song

 

i was actually expecting one of you guys to post a band that i like, like opeth or mastodon

 

I have the Japanese version of the cd, it's not bad.

 

accounting for shit venue, Royal Thunder was pretty good

their front-lady was also wearing a ton of nice-smelling perfume. i think i was 10 yards away and was caught in the wake.

 

I have this album too, it's not very good.

 

yeah really i only like that song for the guitar solo
