Apparently Cryptopsy released a new album last year but nobody cared? The album's surprisingly good but I guess after The Unspoken King nobody gives a poo poo about them. poo poo I used to live/breathe the band (I even have a tattoo of their demon thing) and I just now found out about this album like five months later.

Anything else like this, because this is exactly what I was thinking about when I read muike's post.



The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza is another pretty grindy band, although they're a bit more popular so y'all may already know about them.

Also, krustster showed me these guys. They're more tech- than grindy, but they still have some insane riffs

I find this weird too, I didn't even realize they had a new full length until like a week ago. It's pretty good. I think a lot of people, like me, got it confused with the best-of tape that they also released. I was like "new Cryptopsy.. oh wait that's the greatest hits thing isn't it? who cares!"

Master of the high hat!
Can anyone recommend similar sounding things to Elitist's latest album? Last time I asked this question I got recommended Heart in Hand, Heartless, and The Divided, which were loving excellent recommendations (as well as bands I'm already familiar with like Counterparts and Misery Signals). Reshape Reason just hits such a perfect sweet spot for me of melodic-ness with awesome breakdowns while also adding some technicality without being overbearing.

got to play with Aegaeon a few weeks ago. they were ridiculously tight and heavy live. i'd never heard them before and was really impressed. their recorded music kinda pales in comparison but it's still pretty cool

Unless something changed, they originally wrote this album with Howard in mind. One of the first interviews with Leach after it was confirmed he was coming back to KSE was that he just got all the demos they worked on and was trying to digest/learn them. So unless they scrapped all of those songs and started over, this is really just a KSE album with Jesse Leach doing vocals instead of Howard.

I think the album after this one will be interesting, because it'll be the first time since Alive or Just Breathing that Jesse will be part of the writing process.

Does anything similar to Down I Go exist? In particular I love their Gods EP.

What I really like is the unstable momentum of their songs. I would love to hear something else with riffs like the beginning of this:

They were one of the openers on ETID's current (or most recent) tour--the one with Acacia Strain and No Bragging Rights. Vanna put on a good show, I guess they are like a slightly more straightforwardly hardcore and much more positive ETID

You know I really didn't think all that much of BTBAM's last release Paralax II because I listened to it and went "Eh, more of the same"

For some reason I've been listening to it again for the past ~month and....this is a drat fine album. Yeah, it doesn't sound very different from Colors/Great Misdirect, but I honestly think it's better than Misdirect and neck-and-neck with Colors now.

I was going to say I'd donate to this if one of the rewards was Of Malice and Magnum Heart on vinyl...but then I saw that it IS you just have to drop $150 for a boxset. I love OMaMH and really like Mirrors and Controller, but not $40 a record love/like them.

Awesome stuff. Will possibly be dropping money for the vinyl edition. If the 7" came with the 12" I would consider the $75 tier.

1) Couldn't get a deal with a label

2) Wanted to try this cool new thing because lots of other bands are doing it too

3) Could get a deal with a label, but didn't want to be in debt or anything like that


I would guess it's a combination of #2 and #3.

As someone who has seen the hilarious royalty checks they get from WB first hand (Warner owns Ferret), this is a much better way to ensure that not only does their material wholly belong to them, but also that the support of the fans who love them goes directly to the band instead of being chipped away into nothing as the label and their A&Rs take their cut.

Speaking of things that are about music, the new KSE tape is here and it's extremely good! For me, they're one of those few bands whose new album always becomes my favorite one (Parkway Drive, All Shall Perish and Acacia Strain are the others). It's another step in the sort of direction that the last one was going, i.e. heavier but more melodic (??) as it contains a lot of blastbeats and also "galloping" guitar parts, which along with ya boy Jesse Leach's singing makes it feel a lot more like Alive or Just Breathing than you might expect. But as someone noted previously, the singing parts are more Howard's style, which I actually prefer. And ugh, what a relief that this sounds nothing like that Jesse/Adam side project Times of Grace which was pretty bland.

Why, I've only listened to it twice through and I already love it! The last one took several listens to really grow on me. I am very pleased with this tape.
