So I made the mistake of looking at Amazon's recommendations the other day. Told me to buy the "30th Anniversary Edition" double disc set of Crystal Logic. Needless to say I hammered the buy button like a madman! Along with a few other CDs. Totally worth it. It's probably not rare, but after being lucky enough to see Manilla Road when the finally played in London the other year, I just had to. Normally the Amazon recommendations are a little iffy but I shall thank the system for highlighting that disc to me.

Yeah uhh I dunno if anyone can call Cynic metal anymore but they just released a song from their new album. I figure there are some people in here that will probably appreciate it despite its prog rock sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTmsaoSebYo

I am still suprised this hasn't been posted yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a73mmBEdFrQ Unfortunately, the worst crossover is King Diamond, the singer from Denmark, that now lives in Texas and is a huge NASCAR fan. I couldn't find a NASCAR related song, but this is probably the best to use. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJH0eBtnbcs

San Diego and Mexico are ok too but post-Black album so I prefer Seattle by far.I also like Annihilator's Masters of Rock video because a) I was there, got my Annihilator mug signed and b) they didn't have footage of some parts and had to pull some editing shenanigans to put it together, which is funny to watch. Jeff has a ridiculous neon guitar and overall I like the fast, technical kind of thrash that they play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfC5V6qrTl0 More AI-related, Ministry's Jesus Built my Hot Rod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI Coincidentally, the two Fear Factory songs are now very AI in my mind due to where I first heard them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxmAjnHH0PY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSoKp6dRUH0

So I'm sure it's been meantioned before, but I've just picked up the latest Atlantean Kodex album The White Goddess and... HOLY poo poo!  I got floored by this thing. Awesome, epic and all that good poo poo. I was expecting it to be really drat good, but it easily rates as one of my "this is why I listen to metal" albums. If you like epic metal at all, buy this and buy it now!

I always tend to go with Metal Crypt's Staff Best of Lists when they (finally) come out and use it as a buying guide for the next few months. Given the site, it's all very much straight ahead metal stuff. So take as to person taste.

sleepingbuddha posted:I'm looking for some new concert videos. What are the best metal concert videos? I mean, their stage show itself isn't much to look at, but they ARE a freaking amazing live band because they have this magical connection with the crowd. Blind Guardian fans are crazy (I should know, I am one) and the atmosphere is incredible. I'm just not sure if it's conveyed through video. The ending to Valhalla on this gig is a pretty perfect example though. Basically what I'm trying to say here is that if you ever get a chance to see Blind Guardian live, loving take it.

Yeah guys, the best metal album of the year is the one that every non-metal publication put on their list to show off how diverse their tastes are. It's not even the best blackgaze album of 2013.

Really, I've been going through their list all weekend and I'm loving everything I've heard so far. It sucks that bands like Ulcerate are mentioned in the article but just missed inclusion, but you're exactly right: It means the year was that good. Can't believe I missed most of these.

Dimebags Brain posted:They have the Svn Okklt comp on their list it's a good album though! I do agree that it's been a bit overhyped - like seriously, Deafheaven toured with Alcest in the US as a SUPPORTING act a year before this album and yet nobody gives a poo poo about Alcest who have been doing something very similar for years and years (and also inspiring angry genre arguments for about as long). I've noticed this a lot in metal where American bands often get unfair attention from the US music press but oh well. If the album was "more metal" it would probably be completely under the radar of most mainstream press and I don't agree with people who assume that's a good thing. That said I usually love when bands put out these transition albums between black metal and shoegaze for whatever reason, I really like that unofficial genre. In lots of cases the albums prior to the transition can be straightforward, boring black metal that offers nothing new, and the albums after it will just be MBV worship (Niege of Alcest pretty much admits this in interviews), but the transition feels a bit unique. Although I told this to the only one of my friends that listens to metal and he got angry at me saying I thought the album was unique  Maybe that's the wrong way to describe it, I know it's been done before (Again, Alcest) but I like the way they've done it. I'm terrible at articulating music thoughts. Also I completely forgot the new Darkthrone came out this year, I thought it was late 2012. It's Darkthrone doing their best impression of different metal genres in the 80s. It's good. Demon Of The Fall posted:I saw Blind Guardian live and me and my best friend legit had a good cry during Nightfall as we sang our lungs out, we are weird fans Yes but one of them should be Carcass who haven't released an album in almost 20 years (I haven't heard the new one yet) THE AWESOME GHOST fucked around with this message at 08:44 on Dec 16, 2013 |

I really enjoyed Ad Majorem, hell everything they did with king and gaahl, but god seed just didn't have whatever it was that grabbed me there. I guess Infernus gave just enough to drive it up my way. Whatever they called that festering pile of poo poo they put out last time though...it seems neither group is as good without the other if anyone has a problem with tolkien, black metal is clearly the last place they should be

As much as I try not to care about rankings I'm really annoyed at In Solitude and Carcass being top 10, they aren't even top 50. I haven't bothered to look at many other lists just yet; as a general rule the earlier it comes out the less interesting and well-thought out it is. One of the few blogs I follow put out a quick and easy top 11 the other day and there's some weird picks so check it out (I think there's one or two non-metal albums, but otherwise it's legit).
