bartlebyshop posted:I liked this and that Maelstrom Aeterna track someone posted pages ago. I know basically nothing about melodeath. If I wanted other bands that are a good introduction, what should I try? Those are sort of two ends of the "melodic death" spectrum, so there's a zillion bands. If you like the more aggressive approach of EoU's riffing, you could go for something like The Crown or even Defleshed. -- or something more obscure, Excess of Cruelty or Gardenian. Most of those bands' sense of melody isn't quite that softened thing that "melodeath" bands employ. For that there's Insomnium, Omnium Gatherum, Be'Lakor, Septic Flesh, Scar Symmetry. Somewhere between the two is the aforementioned God Dethroned. If you want to go back to the roots of it, there's Carcass' Heartwork and Dark Tranquillity's The Gallery and Skydancer. Maybe Edge of Sanity. Uh ... Opeth? There will be something, or several somethings, I'm forgetting.

Yeah some of the newer Dark Tranquillity material is really solid: e: well I guess Damage Done is from 2001 but still, Focus Shift was 2008 I think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3F1W8HJLV5s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkwWWF1F2m8

Weedeater are playing near where I live in Camden. Anyone else thinking of going? I don't really know them but quite like the idea of loud grooves. None of my friends like metal so I always end up going alone

I'm wondering if any goons are interested in helping me out with something. As some of you know, I run the site MetalTours.US and I'm looking for contributors who can act as local reps to keep shows and venues in their area accurate and up to date. I have a full location search on the site, but it's only as accurate as the event venue descriptions are. Most tour announcements only give the venue name and city, and are commonly innacurate (wrong city, venue name spelled wrong, etc). When I import them into the database on my website, the google map api has a hard time finding some of them. I'm probably at 60-70% accuracy now, but it's a huge pain in the rear end. This leads me to going to each individual venue and confirming the address is correct (I have over 700 venues already). Also, I'm just adding tours and don't get a lot of the smaller events (one-off shows, smaller fests, whatever) but I want to get as many events as I can on there. Anyways, if any of you goons are interested, edit: you can register here http://metaltours.us/contribute/ Fiendish Dr. Wu fucked around with this message at 01:09 on Mar 2, 2015 |

My trip through melodic death metal's Hall of Heroes reminded me that Dam, the UK Carcass-inspired band with a Hebrew name that I can't properly type on this keyboard, was really good and deserved more attention. They took the Necroticism/Heartwork sound, or at least certain aspects of it in the same way that, say, Deeds of Flesh made a career out of Suffocation's more extreme idiosyncrasies, and went crazy disjointed with it. Somehow they managed not to sound like the Swedish death metal wave of the 90s, too. You'll hear all kinds of influences. http://youtu.be/mxfnqOq1NKk Both albums, The Difference Engine and Purity: The Darwinian Paradox, rule. Speaking of Purity, here's one from that: http://youtu.be/yvbI6aEbr88 vvvvv edit: neat Von Sloneker fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Mar 2, 2015 |

Since we don't have a classic hard rock thread that I can find, I'm just gonna come here with this: Goddamn, Europe have come a long loving way since their cheesy cock rock days. I've been digging their post-comeback material for quite a few years now, and having just grabbed their newest album I think it just might be their best effort yet. It's a drat great mix of bluesy, groovy 70s buzz and Hammond organs and some more modern sensibilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XK6OkO6K97s

Gravewurm has some cool music and I like what they do, but they put out a ridiculous amount of music just like Nunslaughter and it is pretty consistently good for an occasional listen, but otherwise mostly lackluster. I saw the band last summer and they were really not good. It was interesting to watch what Funeral Grave was playing, but that's about it. It probably had to do with the band's lineup, which was Jim from Nunslaughter on drums and a local bassist, which was different than the lineup from their album released a few months earlier, and has since been replaced by an entirely different lineup. It's a cool band, but the lineup other than the mainman has been cobbled together from an endless rotating cast of friends. Maybe this is finally a solid lineup if they're doing half a dozen shows, or maybe it's just thrown together for HHB.

On my third listen. It's pretty good, but I'd say a notch below RIITIIR and AEO, though that's not surprising - even though Enslaved is consistent as hell those 2 albums are so great and would be hard to top. The second half of the album is stronger than the front-end, I'd say. Nauther Bleeding is a really great track.

It's cute how you think this actually proves some kind of point.  If we had to totally dismiss bands just because of stupid lyrics, there wouldn't be a whole lot left to listen to. Sentenced made some fantastic melodeath, then they went on to make some fantastic melodic rock/metal/whatever. They wrote some stupid mopey lyrics and some great mopey lyrics. Also some mopey lyrics that were great in their stupidity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prxfQE9tXmk On day zero my mother was expecting the worst And out of my fatherīs rear end I was born, feet first

I more or less agree, though I do really like some of the folky touches in there, like the acoustic passages and the Nordic chants. It doesn't have as many peaks and valleys but it is really solid throughout, and they're trying some new things as they always do. edit: The more I listen to it, the more I really like it.

Probably not, I dont care if Derrick Green only does Beneath the Remains and Arise, that band is dead to me - especially without Max. Not that Max has done anything worth a gently caress either. CC is poo poo. Soulfly is poo poo. gently caress em.
