Well Slayer's new album dropped today. Can't find it on Youtube yet but I found Pentagram's Relentless album instead and it's killer. It's probably also better than Slayer's album considering "Repentless" and "Implode".

poo poo, Jim from Nunslaughter suffered a stroke.

They set up a donation thing to help with medical costs: http://www.gofundme.com/da3v7zgg and there's a some updates on their facebook page.

It seems like he's somewhat ok, considering what happened.

This band is going to be considered classic in like 30 years when we're all listening to post-death celestial mindslam. Song is great.

There's something weird going on with that track though, it sounds like it's clipping for huge chunks of the song.

Don't think it's my headphones because other stuff sounds fine.

It starts off pretty cool but IMO it got a little boring after that. I loving loved Slave to the Sword though so I'm looking forward to another album from them.

Makes sense - IIRC John Baizley is a pretty big Metallica fan. I always heard a fair amount of influence from them even on the heavier albums.

Kerry wrote everything (save for a bit of "Piano Wire" composed by Jeff), so it wasn't a big surprise it's mediocre. Gary should have been allowed to contribute though. That would've made for a good album.

I like what HHB said "Obituary raised money to give us a lovely album, why don't we raise money for a man who still gives us good music"

Seriously, even if it's a buck or too do it. It's very easy to donate for a well deserving dude.

yeah, I don't get it either. Sounds like generic rock song. I chalk it up to diff''rent strokes cuz a lot of people really really like them but gently caress me if I know why.
I can kinda-sorta see the appeal I guess, but it really doesn't do anything for me personally. I wouldn't call it terrible, just "meh".

EDIT: Unrelated, I came across this band just yesterday. Pretty dumb name, but awesome no-frills power/speed metal, not totally unlike Helloween's earliest material, early Blind Guardian, some Running Wild, etc.

Productive bunch too, they just put out their fourth full-length since 2011.

EDIT2: Metal the Posers to Death is my new favourite songtitle.

Apparently Jim was able to stand up today while in the hospital, so that's a great sign. However, he still has a long way to go for his recovery, but hey, at least he's still kickin'.

Also forgot to mention, Motorhead last night was truly depressing. Lemmy can't even sing or play Ace of Spades close to on time anymore. You'd think he'd be able to do that one just by muscle memory.

Today I was supposed to go the the Motorhead show in Detroit with a friend but I hadn't gotten my ticket yet, and once I heard about Lemmy's depressing performance issues and bad health I decided to skip it. I'm not going to waste a 7 hour round trip for three to five songs before Lemmy might call it a day from being all tuckered out.

You're not alone, I don't get it either. I think it's natural when something like this gets hyped and everywhere I read about how awesome the album is, then go to listen to it expecting to be blown away and it's like listening to a slow wet fart.

Speaking of awful garbage, I was bored this morning listening to Lost Horizon and wondered whatever happened to Daniel Heiman who is up there with Russell Allen for greatest power metal vocalist of all time. Turns out he's done a few small things, like doing session vocals for Crystal Eyes for 1 album in 2005:

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

His scream at 0:42 is loving righteous.

But then he was in some other band called Heed which is very...well, awful garbage I guess, except for his vocals which are as always on point, even though I get a real "disturbed" vibe for some reason ( must be the whispering in the background ). Appropriately they split after 1 album.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUZ73xkvJtg

What happened Daniel? Why wouldn't you just keep making Lost Horizon albums, singing about highlander? :smith:

Did you look any further? Because trust me, Heed is FAR from the worst garbage he's gotten up to. I've posted about it before, too. Seriously, just... augh.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89zewtP87UE

Most lately he did an album with Harmony, some boring-rear end prog-power band. It's not offensively terrible, but seriously underwhelming.

It really is a tragic waste. Come back, Daniel! :smith:

My long-awaited Book Of Souls trip report: Okay in parts, gets very tedious very quickly, probably not any better than The Final Frontier sadly. Empire Of The Clouds is the most contrived mess I've heard from Maiden, I'm sure it's a grower but on first listen it's pretty drat awful. I liked the opener and The Man Of Sorrows though, so there's some positivity there.

In all seriousness, "this is a really awesome throwback to _____" or "no, it doesn't sound like much on first listen, but they're doing some really original stuff with the way this progression is layered, check this out again" or "how can you listen to Slough loving Feg and still have a problem with these vocals you useless hypocrite piece of poo poo" are cool and good posts, but this is No Music Discussion after all
