I saw Agalloch a year ago on their European tour, and it was easily one of the greatest live shows I've ever seen. I am a huge fan of them in general though.

I'm sure it will be like their last 200 or so albums. Not necessarily a bad thing though.

Bertrand Hustle posted:So who's looking forward to the new Cannibal Corpse? Mark Lewis is producing, apparently. \ o / Although I have to admit I didnt liked their last album (torture) very well. I mean Cannibal Corpse is THE band you are thinking of when I say something about death metal, Torture is now an album which is not really... surprising. The classic death metal fan is getting exactly what he expected: very good death metal songs, laid into a bed of the band typical gore-image. Of course I'm not expecting a huge innovation everytime they bring out a new album, but the lyrics are now pretty much always the same if you compare them to their last two albums (Kill / Evisceration Plague). On the one hand, Cannibal Corpse is still one of the top bands. Their songs are always somewhere between Groove and High-Tech Riffing and especially in the slower parts of the songs they unfold their true "hardness". So far so good. On the other hand Fisher is aaaaaaaalways doing the same. For years. The monotonicity hes spreading on the last albums is.... boring? cruel? I dont know. Dont get me wrong! They are still a great band and their music is still great, there are always some very good songs and if you are a true fan you'll like them anyway (as they are doing always the same) but if you take a closer look its not that much bright and shiny as it appears to be. Anyhow, I'll stay a fan, no matter what happens!

Bertrand Hustle posted:So who's looking forward to the new Cannibal Corpse? Mark Lewis is producing, apparently. As a longtime fan, I look at the Cannibal Corpse as having three phases. 1) The Chris Barnes era up thru The Bleeding, which is undeniably their best material. 2) The 5 albums that Corpsegrinder did with them that are mediocre for the most part. 3) Then, you have everything since KILL that has taken the band to a whole new level. 2009's Evisceration Plague was one of the catchiest and easily addictive death metal albums they've released. I have high hopes for the summer release, but I'm concerned why they would choose to tour with the likes of Korn and Avenged Sevenfold.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:I've heard the opposite actually, from fans who saw them live and said they were really sloppy live. If you see Agalloch expecting them to be as good as they are on CD, you'll probably be disappointed. They don't have a lot of stage presence outside of John, but Don and Jason do get into it from time to time. John can't sing that well (period), but a lot of the atmosphere of the music is still there and they try to keep that alive with various folksy things on stage and whatnot. The really big problem I have with Agalloch shows is the audience. I saw them at their DVD recording in Belgium and I've seen them three times here in the States. People in Europe were stand-up, but I loving hate how pretentious some of these kids are here in the US and Agalloch shows bring them out en masse. It's like BM-hipster central (if there is such a thing), so keep that in mind if you end up going. Ninja edit: It doesn't help that John himself is kind of a BM-hipster =/

I'm listening to Into the Abyss by Poison (the German one) right now and it slays. I can't believe death/thrash like this existed in 1986. Gotta love those short-lived underground bands whose demos or lone albums/EPs have survived thanks to the internet. You guys have any more stuff in that category? I already know Timeghoul and Nirvana 2002 off the top of my head. Henchman of Santa fucked around with this message at 14:12 on Apr 24, 2014 |

You guys have any more stuff in that category? - Ahrimah are a Polish band who blended Hawkwind/Floyd type prog rock with death metal. They only have one EP, Ain Soph Aur. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m005E-MmUNM - Rippikoulu, famous Finnish death-doom band with awesome vocals. Insanely crushing production. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjaV-3PLXh8 - Sindrome, obscure prog thrash act. Some keyboarding reminiscent of Nocturnus. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSgxgtsSpE4 - Terrahsphere, another prog/tech thrash band with pretty poo poo vocals. Then again, Watchtower and Voivod had awful vocalists and they're great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoBr0-i-jy4 - Necrovore, incredibly intense and primitive early thrash/death https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVL0fsJi4Z4 I have a bunch of other obscure prog metal acts I could mention (Annon Vin, Imperium, and Taramis to name a few) but that's a bit much for now, I think. There's also more famous one-album bands like Decameron, Kvist, Infester, Molested, and Demilich, of course. Gamma Nerd fucked around with this message at 20:30 on Apr 24, 2014 |
