Heavy Music thread

i'm good

 

continue to come back to and be impressed by Cattle Decapitation's 2015 release (The Anthropocene Extinction).

it's absolutely art how they can take one of the least accessible forms of music (technical death metal) and make it catchy. i find myself humming the 'hooks' all the time.

 

would you make offensively bad music, dress like that, and have a fan base made up of whoever listens to that stuff if it meant you got to be a rock star?

 

no. the shelf life on your "rock star" status would be less than a decade. you'd be left with a bad drug habit and poor physical health.

i'm good.

 

that was dope

not that i have a problem with it, but those drums sound like they were programmed

 

from radio fenriz

 

Something doesn't feel right about that band.

 

Lik signed to metal blade recently, maybe they'll get some attention finally.

 

the vocals remind me of something you might hear on south park

 

i thought you hated metal blade

 

I hate some of the shit they've signed in the past 10-15 years, but there's a lot of essential albums on that label.

 

New music I discovered this weekend:

Like Rats is old school death metal from Chicago with hardcore influenced vocals. Not at all in the “deathcore” category, this is all classic sounding stuff. Great riffs, drummer is the vocalist. burnttatertot i think you would like.

Spoiler: Like Rats - II

I’m probably late to the party here, Power Trip’s Nightmare Logic is one of the best thrash albums I’ve heard recently. Between these guys, Black Fast, Destroyer 666, and Vektor, there is really interesting stuff happening in that genre. AIP

Spoiler: Power Trip - Nightmare Logic

 

also Joe_Pesci thanks for reminding me again to check out Radio Fenriz. Huge Darkthrone fan but never had a chance to check out his show. Listened to #39 this weekend and it was great.

I don’t think there is anyone on the planet more metal than him.

 

Not a lot of Prog Metal up in this beezy.

 

he puts a pretty good mix of stuff on there. i assume people just send him stuff to listen to at this point because he has played stuff that has like 20 views on youtube

 

i doubt i would have ever found something like this without that podcast. currently has like 2k views on youtube in about 4 months

 

Did they get rid of the punk influence that plagued the first album?

 

sounds like it still might be in there but i didn't know who they were before like yesterday so

 

i started an instagram account where i will review albums. mostly metal and hardcore releases, but also other genres on occasion. my first review is of Converge's The Dusk In Us.

if you guys have instagram check it out

I've interneted on my phone once in my life, it was awful.

 

i listened to this mainly because of the album art but it's actually ok. nothing groundbreaking. it's like a doom/classic hybrid.

 

this album is dope. also sourced from radio fenriz

 

RADIOOOOOOO FENRIZ

 

Going to bed to swedish

 

Spirit Adrift is playing at my local metal bar this Friday, with Gatecreeper (Nate Garrett is in both bands) playing the day after. Thinking of going but both nights would be tough.

 

I expected much worse

 

I’m at total fanboy status at this point.

 

Slayer's final tour

 

Sadly kerry king said he was going to keep making music

 

I'm going to try to attend one of these dates. That's a lot of metal in one line up.

 

You're right, that is a lot of metal. But then there's Anthrax and Lamb Of God.

 

All that good shit on the bill and you focus on the negative, eh?

Grab a beer or five during those sets.

 

So in your opinion, which is the best Slayer album after Divine Intervention (the last Slayer album I've heard)

 

honestly except for the one with all of the punk covers, it seems like they've been making the same album for the last like 25 years

that song Disciple is ok but it's a little too far on the teen angst side for me

 

I’m not a big Slayer fan but Seasons In The Abyss was always my favorite.

I like the riffs and the drums but I don’t like Tom’s vocals at all.

 

didnt want you to miss this, burnttatertot

 

Dammit Joe_Pesci , stop hanging out at Hot Topic.

 

new Tribulation drops today

 

Testament then a lonnnnnnnnng smoke break, and then Slayer. Lamb and Anthrax are complete garbage. Going to the Orlando show.
