Heavy Music thread

Yeah, I don't have any desire whatsoever to talk about jamblands. I fucking love phish and listen to quite a bit of Dead, but I don't have any use for most of the rest of that garbage.

Most of what I listen to is indie/rock/psych/stoner and shit like that. I'm a huge music nerd.

This is probably my favorite release of the year, and also my favorite show that I saw this year. These guys are so fucking good. They're all in their early 20's too and already put out some crazy good albums. This probably they're 'heaviest'

 

I can feel a pretty strong Melvins kick comin on....

 

i never thought i'd see Moon Duo posted in here

 

Lol, nice. Anything that's drone-y and riff-heavy enough to make me crash my bike, not once, but on two separate occasions, during the day and completely sober, automatically gets a bid into my 'heavy music' file. That's not even counting all of the shit I've stumbled into drunk/spun zoning out to shjips/moon duo.

Probably my number one band I want to see yet haven't gotten a chance to yet.

 

the new Faceless album is pretty good. if i didn't have a bunch of shit to do i'd go see them tonight in Portland.

 

they re-recorded The Spiraling Void with a human drummer and possibly new vocals, and it is even more awesome

 

some band with the current dream theater drummer in it

 

I kept skipping ahead looking for the vocals.

 

no one plays like mike portnoy but mike mangini is good, too

 

i know you like to have contrarian takes, which i appreciate.

but lots of people can play technical, fast stuff


how many people could write Dance of Eternity and then play it accurately? gavin harrison from porcupine tree maybe?


i don't even really like that song tbh

 

you also said that slow was not heavy like 3 days ago so...

 

Shouldn't both of you be in bed?

 

good morning, old man

 

My Ambien should kick in any minute.

 

i'm going to max out the destiny 2 pc trial after i'm done with finals next week

Odin you should make a new dude and run with me (if it works like that)

 

the new Faceless album would serve the same purpose

i actually like the first half of it a lot though

 

i feel like it's a bad strategy to release an album's good tracks up to a year+ in advance though

 

are pistols still strong as fuck? because that's how the beta was

pvp got a lot better when i got some 5-shot revolver

 

Never cared for the faceless. I love me some revolvers though.

 

this Yes album is evidence that it's possible for pop-rock to be decent without becoming a plague like Def Leppard

 

This is the only Yes you need.

 

Oh yeah, this is sounding great with my ambuin

 

I love that song and that album. Really I love anything that Yes has done. Even when things got kind of weird in the late 70s, like they did for most of those prog bands. I believe at one point King Crimson had a "percussionist" that was doing stuff like putting a microphone over a giant bowl of rice as he tried to dig to the bottom with his hands.

 

speaking of Yes, i'm not sure any rock musician has ever had any more swagger than Rick Wakeman when he comes in at the end of Close to the Edge

you know you love that keyboard burnttatertot

 

the Pallbearer album that came out earlier this year is really good. i'm not sure why i wasn't as into it the first time.

 

via the new radio fenriz. i wonder how he finds this stuff if people don't send it to him because this video has 15 views on youtube.

 

this is really good. i can't think of anyone more metal than Fenriz.

 

Sounds like 90's Agent Steel on Xanax.

 

best-of list season is here.

 

there's a Ghost live album

 

Fucked around and didn't get Converge tickets. It's sold out. :(

 

bossanova seems like a small venue for them. maybe they too were tired of the hawthorne.

 

same. they play this wknd at a small bar. may see if I can buy some at door.

 

Am I missing the boat on Converge? I've seen them twice. Maybe it was the sound system at the venue.

 

they are ripshit insane live. if the sound isn’t good it probably sucks because of how abrasive their sound is to begin with.

 

I like their recorded music

 

This. Sound is hit or miss depending on venue. Energy is always on point.

 

Not all that familiar with Converge I listened to a minute worth of three different albums. In those three minutes all I got is they're confused on if they want to be Napalm Death or Eyehategod.

 

They’ve been a band since 1990. I’d say they’re pretty comfortable just being Converge.

 

Fuck they are good.

 

Kinda reminds me of this too.

 

That band is on Deathwish - which was started by Converge's singer. That album art was done by said singer. So I'm going to guess that band was heavily influenced by Converge
