Cheers for the recommendations. I'll check out Dark Medieval Times because I've heard of that album before... I probably should've been more specific: What stuff are they likely to play live that I should check out?

Sab669 posted:Sonata Arctica put up a song off their new album out later next month; I should probably hand over my metal head badge for saying this, but I kind of like it  . Then again, I'm saying this as someone who has followed SA since his teenage years and constantly expects them to get back to their Reckoning Night style with every album. Anything by them sounds okay when compared to Shitload of Money or I Have a Right. Anyway, to make up for being the resident Sonata Arctica apologist, have some rare live Mithotyn (apparently with Thyrfing headbanging in the front row) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mtqj1DIaiA&sns=em

If time machines ever come to fruition I want to go back and show George Marshall a bunch of power metal videos because I have a hunch he wouldn't have been so gung ho about rebuilding Europe if he knew what would come of it.

Listened to Mutulation Rites for the first time today. That....that was intense. In other news my son destroyed my headphones and I need a new pair. Is there anything good for under 150 that metal sounds good on ? Since I listen on my iPhone I'm looking at a Koss Portapro or Sennheiser PX100-ii.

Audio-Technica ATH-M50s are probably the best headphones under $300, and they're $125ish.

Do they have decent bass? I know metal isn't that bass heavy but I loving hate headphones where there isn't enough base and everything sounds cold and anemic.

By the way, is there some historical significance to "bang your head against the stage"? I haven't really listened to Metallica in years so I never noticed, but it pops up in both Metallica's "Whiplash" and Exodus's "Bonded by Blood" so I was wondering if there was some undercurrent I missed.

I think it's just a general command related to headbanging. Songs about metal tend to use a lot of cliches. Also Kirk Hammett was in Exodus before Metallica poached him, and Bonded By Blood was a long-delayed debut. They might have written the title track before he left.

Apparently Electrocution, the guys who released the classic death metal album Inside the Unreal like 20 years ago, have reunited and are back in studio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rfdg3ugg-So Seems like they've got the cool thrashy riffs part down. I mean, it's a reunion, so things will likely go pear-shaped, but whatever.

Yo metal thread, a year and a half ago I posted a thread advertising my prog metal band Existem's full-length. Some people liked it so I thought I'd let you know we put up a new EP a couple days ago for free. Check it out here.

Truth be told I mostly listen to the first two tracks, now, and they are awesome. Bought your first album, and the new EP but I haven't had a chance to listen to it all that much yet, except for Epitaph. It's good, buuuut, what's up with the "rise up, rise up, HEEEEEEY" at 4:40 of Epitaph?

Unfortunately they act like their first four albums (the ones that are good) don't exist. This would be an incredible concert: Walk the Path of Sorrow Dark Medieval Times Hvite Krists Dod Woods to Eternity Dominions of Satyricon Mother North Du Som Hater Gud Immortality Passion Sadly, this is what you will get: Fuel for Hatred Now, Diabolical K.I.N.G. A New Enemy Black Crow on a Tombstone Tro og Kraft Our World, It Rumbles Tonight Nekrohaven And then somewhere near the end they'll play Mother North as their one, lonely tribute to the fact that they were once amazing and relevant.

I was also really loving the direction on Hangman's Hymn and Scenes From Hell, but I understand that Sigh doing three albums of a similar style in a row would be far beyond expectations.

I've had The Tomb Awaits from Entrails for a while but never listened to it. Goddamn it's a good album. It's retro death without being too by the numbers and boring. I like it, going to throw it into the gym rotation.

Seeing Satyricon on a bill with Amon Amarth, Gwar and Black Dahlia murder next week in Melbourne. Last time I saw them was years ago, not sure what to expect this time round, not a fan of the newer albums so much but Satyr is a weirdo these days so I'm hoping he does something weird to entertain me.

I saw them somewhere around 2006 and they played a 50% old stuff and 50% new stuff and I had the time of my life. I saw them again in maybe 2010 or so, and they played 95% new stuff.

Satyr still puts on a good show at least. I saw them maybe 4 years ago with Cradle of Filth (lol) and Nachtmystium I think, and I wasn't disappointed. Would it have been cool to see "Forhekset" or "Du som hater gud"? Yeah totally. But I still had fun.

cryme posted:How about a deep dislike of both? I'm not a big fan of Amon Amarth at all. I think the drumming on their latest album is pretty terrible and in certain parts has standard pop music beats in it, I nearly drove off the road when I was listening to it. Are they just really fun live? I faintly remember liking With Oden On Our Side, but really nothing else they've done. I love the latest Soilwork though, and I can imagine a lot of people hating that.
