In other news, Hibria have released a new song and yup, it again sucks rear end.

I'm wondering if anyone in this thread might be able to help me find something. I was talking to a friend of mine the other day and he mentioned the band The Sword, and I kept thinking I'd seen some article (or hell maybe even just a goon post) a long loving time ago whose entire premise was just how much the band sucked and how they were an affront to metal or something. So far I haven't been able to find it but I know it exists and I'm hoping maybe some of you guys remember what I'm thinking of.

So I've heard like 2-3 songs from the new Fear Factory record and .... uh. nope :(

I wish I could enjoy it, I've been a huge fan since the early 90s aside from that whole digimortal tragedy and this newer stuff sounds waaaaaaayyyyyy too much like that.

Still got the Industrialist though. drat, that album was solid as gently caress.

I don't know why Fear Factory are popular honestly. They use like two strings of their guitar, even Meshuggah have some occasional leads.

Sybreed and Mechina at least spice it up with some more creative synth work.

Yeah, I'm inclined to believe that the album featuring these lyrics might have been a little tongue-in-cheek in other ways (this is from "Niggerslut," for those curious):

quote:

Eating your heart out in the high heavens
We have heaviest beats of all time
We worship Satan and we're loving evil

People often forget that the nineties were the same decade that Vince Offer released The Underground Comedy Movie.

Live long and headbang
Living in the countryside in Europe when I was a teenager, and the fact there was no "that goth/metalhead kid" at my school for some reason, and this was very early-Internet, I discovered metal through... Napster. I wanted to download stuff heavier (without knowing it really) than my father's AC/DC, Black Sabbath or ZZ Top records. So I started looking around and somehow ended up downloading Metallica stuff. I'm literally one of the guys Lars Ulrich hated, felt "was killing the industry", wanted to sue. But since then I've bought all of their albums, a few t-shirts and went to a couple of their concerts (when they deign visit France). So I would say Napster allowed Metallica to make around $500 from me, not a bad deal. Lars, you're an rear end in a top hat for not getting this.

Then got into early Korn, Rage Against the Machine, but then stumbled upon Machine Head and PanterA and went full thrash-metal lover.

Yeah I didn't mean to make anyone think I don't like the Sword, they're a fun band, I just couldn't remember where I'd seen that. For a bit I could have sworn it was written by Brian Posehn of all people, but that turned up nothing.

Agree with Bolt Thrower on this as well. Might want to give Hatebreed a shot. And Amon Amarth. Those are my 4 go to Gym playlist bands, when I have nothing else to listen to.

Absolutely seconding Amon Amarth, all of their uptempo songs are perfect for working out (and dangerous for driving).

If you don't get a huge throbbing viking-boner when listening to this song, you are dead inside:

But I have to say the Sabaton cover is suitably epic as well, and I'm not sure whether growling or rolled 'R's work best for it:

I love Angry Metal Guy's review of this album:

quote:

The album standout to these ears is the title track, which smashes together “Iron Will” and “Son of the Last Breath” for a real storm-bursting slab of metal with more heart than the Mayo Clinic on National Organ Donation Day.

After listening to the new CoF album on the way back from work - its actually pretty decent, reminds me of Midian-era. However, there was one track near the end of the drive that came on and I remember just being disgusted. "Right Wing of the Garden Triptych"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Y4uZ0rnRk

It starts out pretty bad.
