Two new ones kicking my arse lately: Vomitor - The Escalation Hellbringer - Dominion of Darkness The latter especially. Just a tonne of well written, catchy, evil sounding thrash tracks that give me a strong Show No Mercy-ish vibe. Having previously released probably one of my most listened to EP's of recent times it did not disappoint at all.

I have a hard time picking a favorite SYL album because they keep* on evolving. Heavy as a Really Heavy Thing doesn't sound like City doesn't sound like SYL or The New Black but all of them are awesome depending on what I'm in the mood for. Alien never grew on me like the others, though  . I'm glad I got to see that crazy fucker live a few times through the years.*the skullet will ride again Mostly though I just came down here from TCC because I haven't been to a show forever and I'm gonna spend doomsday all covered in sweat and gwar juice   I'm pretty excited, actually the last time I saw Gwar they were sharing the stage with SYL now that I think of it

I love Goatwhore (As in, one of my favorite moments in live music was Ben Falgoust noticing I was screaming along and he fistbumped me from the stage) and I didn't care for that record very much.

I hear he can be like Frank Zappa who I like a lot. Do I even bother with Strapping Young Lad? I imagine he'd only play songs from DTP. Get these albums: Addicted! Deconstruction (tough to get into because it's so crazy but with some awesome stuff) Alien (first SYL album I heard, and my favourite) Ziltoid Ki (pretty chill but good)

Amon Amarth has no dates scheduled until June. I smell an album.  Also, forgot how wicked Sepultura's Beneath The Remains album is.

The last week or so of this thread has been pure deja vu. Blind Guardian chat-> Iced Earth chat including obligatory "Barlow sucks" posts -> Amon Amarth including obligatory "every album sounds the same" discussion. Truly an endless cycle. Edit: Unrelated, but anybody know if Allegaeon is still on the Job For a Cowboy/Cephalic Carnage show in Brooklyn this Friday? They're no longer listed on the Knitting Factory's website or Facebook event page. Hulk Krogan fucked around with this message at 19:26 on Dec 12, 2012 |

Listening to all the DTP albums. I like very much. Don't know why I haven't listened before. I think I listened to "Oh My loving God" too early before I liked more extreme metal and I remember seeing some really strange music video of him on some cosmic train or something and it must have turned me off.

As such I never really understood why everyone says Deconstruction is so hard to get into. But yeah, as everyone's been saying (including yourself!) you really can't go wrong with this guy.

Johnny Cage posted:I think Iced Earth's first 4 albums are good (especially Burnt Offerings) but Something Wicked and beyond is pretty blah. Do yourself a favor and listen through Manilla Road's discography from start to finish. It starts with the prehistoric ancestor of Iced Earth gallop riffs, then it gets to epic, fantastic tales, and you're still in 1983 at that point.

Posted from Joel Grind's blog today... Joel Grind "The YELLOWGOAT Sessions" to be released Tuesday January 15, 2013 digitally with a 12" LP to follow in late February or early March. YELLOWGOAT Recorded as sort of a return to form of the demo era of Toxic Holocaust (Critical Mass in particular). Raw, stripped down, reverbed and distorted to hell. I decided to not call this a Toxic Holocaust record for a few reasons. The main one being Toxic has sort of morphed from being a solo project to now being a full band. That's not saying you wont see other "solo" Toxic material, but for right now it's definitely a solid band. Also, this record is definitely less Thrash and more dirty Rock n Roll and finally I didn't want to just slap the Toxic name on it to sell it. I recorded this because I was anxious to record something like this again with out over thinking it. Recorded in two days in a rehearsal room. All instruments by Joel Grind. 01 Ascension (Intro) 02 Hell's Master of Hell 03 Vengeance Spell 04 Foul Spirit Within 05 Cross Damnation 06 Grave Encounters 07 Black Order 08 The Eternal One 09 Hail to Cruelty 10 Descension (Outro) Hell yeah!!!

Who would you guys say come closest to aping Death's style while still doing their own thing, or at least without sounding like a tryhard clone?

You might try Vektor, maybe. I always thought they sounded a lot like a Sound of Perseverance cover band (I don't mean that in a bad way), if that's not later era Death than you wanted. Other people will probably have better recommendations, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2VwWTUn7BQ

My bad. muike posted:Who would you guys say come closest to aping Death's style while still doing their own thing, or at least without sounding like a tryhard clone? Obscura. Their song Incarnated could basically be put on Sounds of Perseverance or Symbolic and you wouldn't know the difference.

No way groove-era Coroner was next level; Mental Vortex is my favorite. I dare you to not mosh your balls off to chorus riff in Son of Lilith. I agree a lot of thrash bands lost their way trying to adapt to the 90s, but Coroner was one of the rare ones who did it right.

I listened to that track and while it's some of the best groove metal I've heard, it's still groove metal. Doesn't force my head to bang in the way Reborn Through Hate or DOA does. But if you like groove more than thrash Mental Vortex is the introduction album for you, I guess.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but it looks like a new Ghost album's being announced in a few days. New site just popped up via their facebook/twitter, counting down to Monday. http://www.secularhaze.com/ Sounds pretty rad so far. Definitely one of my most anticipated albums for the new year.

Martyr are similar to later Death - a lot of melodic guitar hooks, and the drums/bass tend to follow the guitars a lot, and both guitars usually play the same thing. They're a bit different in that they don't have residual death metal in their style as Death did, rather Martyr play extremely percussive and technical music that has more of a jazzy feeling at times that draws many forms from death metal and uses harsh but coherent vocals. The end result is similar, but Martyr tend to jump around on dissonant chordal stuff while Death lean towards tremolo picking, string skipping, and more "metal" forms of riffing.

So Allegaeon just finished up their set at the Cephalic Carnage/Job for a Cowboy show in Brooklyn, and god drat. Definitely check them out if you get the chance. Not a big Job for a Cowboy fan but the 30 minute set Allegaeon just played was worth the 15 bucks on its own.

All of us had a period where we had not yet heard Death. I'll admit, I'm still pretty unfamiliar with most of their older stuff. I mostly know from Human / Individual Though Patterns on. That said, get around to listening to them. They're legends for a reason.
