BurningBeard posted:My exposure to In Flames never went as far back as their '90s output and the newer stuff was so offensively bad to me that I never went back to check out the old stuff. Plus any time Anders is doing something other than gargling glass, he's awful. Whereas Insomnium has the deep nasty bellow all the time, which I love. Checking out Whoracle though, and it's pretty good. Not what I was looking for but still. Instead of posting Moonshield for like the third or fourth time in this thread I'll just tell you to listen to the Jester Race and Colony.

Anybody into melodeath should listen to the new Wolfheart album - Shadow World. And their first album for that matter.

Gorod are the only modern tech death band I'd put on par with Martyr in that specific style of tech death, and even then they went downhill after Leading Vision.

A page or so late, but I feel like the best Motorhead Album is Bastards. it has good solid production and includes all the archetypes of Motorhead songs - fast songs, bluesy songs, slow and heavy songs. The whole album is solid, too, which is a rarity. Its also one of the few albums they did as a 4 piece. If you wanted a good place to start, thats what I would suggest. Highlights: Death or Glory (this song, to me at least, is the perfect Motorhead song, gently caress Ace of Spades.) On your feet or on your knees Bad woman Lost in the Ozone Born to Raise hell Liar Burner its also a 90s album. The band consider it one of their best works too.

Martyr is great. Warp Zone was some of the first death metal I heard, and it took me quite a while to wrap my head around it. There's nothing quite like it, with the atmosphere of brooding tension built through sharp instrumentation and every-changing contrasts. Not quite the same thing, but I'm also a fan of their friends in Capharnaum - especially "Reality Only Fantasized" and "Plague of Spirits." They were friends with Martyr back in the late 90s. This friendship also spawned the band Gargamel, the Legend of Zelda symph-black metal one...

Don't forget Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me, which is just  I have a soft spot for Overnight Sensation. I Don't Believe A Word is a decent ballad-ish tune, Civil War is their heaviest song by a mile and basically sounds like old Discharge, and Eat The Gun is hilariously stupid. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRN1IptkVHA

Motorhead have heaps of great songs, just not that many on any single album. Bastards and possibly Inferno have a decent ratio though (and OS now that you point it out) Kingdom of the Worm is a pretty heavy song, from one of the more recent albums. But yeah the last 3 albums have been pretty much Motorhead by Numbers and arent worth listening to when they have such better stuff in their back catalog.

Brotherhood of Man wanted to be heavy but I can't stop laughing at how the lyrics completely miss the beat at once point. But really that kind of growled word over heavy bass work goes clear back to Orgasmatron.

Are there any modern day bands that have the same sound and feel as classic 80s heavy metal like Savatage (particularly Hall of the Mountain King) and Dio or is the market for that sort of thing just non existent? I would also be open to hearing lesser known/underrated bands from that era. I think it's more the vocals than anything that do it for me.

I guess it kinda depends on which bands you're already familiar with. Is it just the vocal style you're after because that might be hard to find. There's lots of cool 80s bands kicking around though and newer ones too. Upwards of Endtime is a newer (though sadly split-up band) that plays 80s style metal very well. Barbarian Wrath is doing a re-release of all their stuff on one album though. https://barbarianwrath.bandcamp.com/album/beyond-infinity Then there's Omen of course, a classic 80s band.

Sadly not all the bands he sings in are very good, but Astral Doors have done some good poo poo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydnKj1zHZxs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS-NhkPFQz0 Also, seconding White Wizzard. Shame about all the Spinal Tap horseshit drama around them, but I just read on their FB page they're (all two of them) making good progress recording a new album and "hope to have an upcoming single release very soon". Here's hoping it's any good. And lastly I'm gonna use that WW song symbolic posted as a segue, and pimp Monument again, the current band of the vocalist Peter Ellis. They're more Iron Maiden worship than influenced by Savatage or Dio, but god drat if their debut EP and album aren't some of the best 80's style metal I've heard ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zbg1DNI6EmM

In Flames chat: Lunar Strain is a good if really weird album. There's an abundance of cool riffs and guitar work, strange folk interludes, a random song with a female vocalist, and lots of long instrumental passages. It's really ambitious for a first album but tried going in too many directions and suffers a bit for it. Overall still an enjoyable listen if you want to dive into their 90s stuff, but don't expect it to sound all that similar to The Jester Race.

New Amorphis coming out. I haven't followed them since Skyforger - started sounding a little too samey. This is pretty interesting though - I get a real Elegy mid-90's vibe with the riffs and folky plinking/flute, but it's still pretty "pop". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ql4Xe6MxQ4

Finishing up the (auto?) biography of Nikki Sixx. Holy poo poo, how that dude hasn't been found dead in a ditch 2000 times by now, I have no idea. Or everyone in Motley Crue really. Man, I really need to start reading more metal biographies. On one hand, it's super interesting, but on the other it's very  reading how they got strung out on heroin for the 300th time. Some pretty funny stories in it though.

It wasn't especially good, but doesn't have much competition and helped me get a background in how different bands relate to one another. Nergal's (Behemoth) autobiography is awaiting my attention but I'm hesitant to read it (don't meet your idols and all that).

Basically in relapse throughout his entire life, even when the media thought he was clean (during Californication). It's hosed but such a good read. When your best friend dies of a overdose yet you keep using? Your brain is loving broken. Tales of Kiedis jonesing for a hit and traveling to shady areas of town -- when the band was super famous - and still getting poo poo. It's called Scar Tissue.

Indeed it is, which reminds me (I don't think I mentioned it before): If you guys don't read the Black Market on Stereogum, you're missing out on a lot of great poo poo--I found that Scythian record there. It's a bit too black metal focused sometimes, but they really do cover a wide variety of bands both in style and popularity, and the writing is much better than you'd find on Metal Injection or whatever. I've been listening through it at work every month and found a bunch of great albums just this summer.
