On the topic of Japanese metal, Galneryus are somewhere between a legitimate favorite band and a total guilty pleasure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsi9HEmZl9Y

Black metal and hardcore/sludge continues to be my favorite subgenre combo thanks to bands like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqMguEsRp_E I'd never heard of them until someone played another song from this album (which comes out in a couple weeks) on plug.dj. Awesome stuff. Sounds like if Dodecahedron teamed up with Gaza.

https://www.facebook.com/AlissaWhiteGluzFans/posts/10150381148099984:0 To those that care: It looks like Angela Gossow is stepping down as singer for Arch Enemy and being succeeded by Alissa White-Gluz, from The Agonist. My kneejerk reaction is disappointment, as I really loving liked The Agonist, especially their last album, while always being kinda lukewarm on Arch Enemy. Apparently, The Agonist will still go on, with Vicky Psarakis replacing Alissa, and hopefully this'll end up being a good move for both bands

One guy described it as if Deathspell Omega was a hardcore band, and I quite like that descriptor. Gaza plus The Secret is another good summing of Plebeian Grandstand. Also more on the screamo side of the fence, but definitely check out Celeste as well, they get brought up every now and again.

On the topic of Japanese metal, a few years ago someone in this thread posted a live video of a band called Gargoyle who wore costumes and played kind of a speed/thrash/power metal thing. I've been trying to find that video again ever since, anyone know what I'm talking about? Video was like 6ish minutes long.

Maybe this? It's got no sound, though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyG8y8PtyYY Yeah, Gargoyle are another fascinating Japanese metal band. Lots of great stuff in that scene. Intestine Baalism are exemplary melodeath, for example - not at all like the Gothenburg style.

I love old Galneryus but it's definitely in a guilty pleasure way. I can't remember which album it was off but the first track had a music video, and one part of the song just had basically each member of the band do a 45 second long solo on their instrument. It was like a perfect encapsulation of what to expect from their songs. Have no idea what their new stuff is like though, ever since their singer left the band apparently the style has shifted? Also they are doing videogame and anime soundtracks now it looks like, they're doing remixed tracks for the new Blazblue game and did some songs for Mnemosyne which I never saw. I apologize in advance for this post. Uhh hey guys remember Swarrrm? They put out an album everyone seemed to love in 2007 then just disappeared, but apparently they're still active. I dunno if it's the language barrier but way too often Japanese bands just sort of drop off the map with no explanation.

Edit: nvm, nothing to see here. Talking about Japanese metal, there was a black metal dude called Gnome that released a really cool demo in the 90s, they never did a full length though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2dByQCBsCA it's sorta burzumy.

Not a fan of the OP, Alsatia, but the ED is great, Cause Disarray. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rym6jnnhXJ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnx90Fslqlg Swarrrm are sick, love all their stuff. You are absolutely right though, Japanese bands often just fall off the earth and out of nowhere release a new album or just remain off the earth. Intestine Baalism is a good example of this.

Cross posting from the GBS Jack Chick thread, thought someone here might be interested:Snowy posted:So 20 years ago I was interning at Earache Records in NYC, and brought in a pile of my Chick Tracts for them to see. I thought those guy would have known about them but that was their first exposure. Soon after they produce a compilation tape with packaging based on one of his tracts, and it included a printed parody tract that looked really good, just like one of his but it was about how awesome evil music is. Snowy posted:I couldn't find it anywhere online, so I scanned it. Earache's version is from 1993 and is based on The Beast: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0007/0007_01.asp Snowy fucked around with this message at 00:43 on Mar 19, 2014 |

Speaking of May, I haven't seen anyone post about Scion Rock Fest 2014. It'll be in Pomona, CA again and so far they have: Red Fang Crowbar Power Trip Exhumed Midnight Speedwolf Moab Windhand Jex Thoth Lord Dying Pins Of Light Hot Lunch Black Sheep Wall The Well Nekrogoblikon With a few more to be announced (including two headliners) so it looks like I'll be going to that for sure. Loved the last one in Pomona.

I listened to that album when it came out because the vocalist did a couple tracks with Secret Chiefs 3 a while back, but didn't remember much from it. Definitely a dated sound at this point.

On the subject of this year in metal, Behemoth's The Satanist is shaping up to be one of my favorites so far. I might be biased because I loving love these guys, but there's something about it that reminds me of earlier albums, particularly "Ora Pro Nobis Lucifer". I can't wait to see them in April.

You are absolutely right though, Japanese bands often just fall off the earth and out of nowhere release a new album or just remain off the earth. Intestine Baalism is a good example of this. It's not exclusively a metal band thing either. There are loads of Japanese bands where I have a couple of albums from them I REALLY liked and it's just impossible to find out if anything else has ever happened, if the band members went off to form new bands, if the band is still together. I hope it's just the language barrier and not the fact that nobody cares  Nordick posted:New Agalloch song! Didn't realize their next album is so close, coming out in May! Can't loving wait. Woah what! The first 3 albums are weird for me because all of them took a really long time to grow on me, but all of them eventually became some of my favorite albums. They're all different enough from one another that I had to abandon my assumption on what the album was going to be and just accept what it was, doesn't help that they usually take 4 years to release one. I never got to that point with Marrow of the Spirit, to me it felt like instead of being something unique it just felt like an inferior version of their earlier stuff? I think I didn't give it much of a chance. Houseplant posted:On that note, Sabbat too. Sabbat is great and I actually like them better than Abigail

I think I didn't give it much of a chance. I definitely feel like Marrow of the Spirit went for a prog-black approach like later Enslaved. It was a hit-or-miss album for me but definitely had its moments. The whispered vocals during Black Lake Nidstang and To Drown were pretty rad.
