I still maintain this is sour grapes, Demonaz & Horgh don't want their legacy erased even though they haven't really done much in terms of contributing to the Immortal "sound" since 1997, and I assume they don't want to lose the $0.01/month they might get on royalties or something.


The "Immortal sound" has been pretty much rubbish since 1997 or even before that, so really if they had nothing to do with it it makes them look better.

Like Defiant Sally said, they're still pretty good. I grabbed Rise of the Hero from 2014 and I like it.

I know he doesn't sound very powerful at all, but I don't think he's supposed to. I like him because his voice is very pleasant, and the contrast it creates with the crunchy guitars is cool and makes for a kinda unique sound. I understand why it wouldn't be everyone's thing, though.

I will always maintain that Megatropolis and Omega Man are their best album/song, mainly because it was the first I had ever heard.

They actually rerecorded Megatropolis recently and it sounds great imo

Don't agree with that at all. At the Heart of Winter and Sons of Northern Darkness are great records.

Blizzard Beasts is cool because it's such a piece of poo poo. Sloppy Morbid Angel riffs thrown around with no real rhyme or reason, songs that sound more or less unfinished and a horrible & inconsistent mix. It's much more exciting than anything after At the Heart of Winter. Battles in the North is cool too i guess

Anyone seen Vital Remains live? Seeing them support Belphegor tonight and i'm torn between looking forward to seeing them (i've seen Belphegor before) and worried they are going to be classic anti-religious weirdos. I'm hoping they just play fast death metal and don't talk, basically.

Also god drat do they have some of the dopiest lyrics in the business. At least with most bands with stupid lyrics you can tell they aren't taking it seriously.

I saw Vital Remains years and years ago, when they had a different singer. They were touring with Deicide, so Glen came out and did Dechristianize and a couple other songs. Not much talking between songs, at least, for Vital Remains' set.

That said, I saw Infernaeon a couple years back, and their lead singer (current lead singer for Vital Remains) talked non-stop between songs.

We all know Immortal Bird is great, but they just kicked it up a notch by including a hand-written note on the back of a sticker included with the CD I ordered, thanking me for my support and listing some upcoming shows near me. :unsmith:

The early stuff is alright but Immortal got significantly better as time went on and the new Abbath stuff is much better than SoND which has been my favorite for a while. Abbath is the man. His vocals, riffs, and songwriting abilities have been going full speed ahead for longer than most metal guys I can think of.

All reports from their shows from people I know say Mustaine sounds like total rear end these days. He was struggling to hit the high notes as far away as 2005.

And of course, my favorite Megadeth/Mustaine video. He really is letting the torture begin.

He's always sounded like rear end, but they tune down a full step now because everyone's vocal range gets lower as they age.

Honestly I can't think of any connection between Megadeth and ST except that they're both from LA. Maybe they go drinking together or something and thought this would be fun?

fake: I guess ST has been kinda thrashy at times and Mustane too but... eeesshh that's a stretch considering anything he's done in the last few years. Metallica has always been more thrashy than Mega besides.

The current guy was a pretty good showman, he had a bunch of energy which worked well with how loving fast Vital Remains are. He came over way too strong for a crowd of British folk though - there was a lot of eyerolling to his constant pronouncements of THIS IS A VITAL REMAINS SHOW I EXPECT A CERTAIN LEVEL OF VIOLENCE and I WANT TO SEE BLOOD IN THE PIT.

I don't think you need to be British to think that sounds ridiculous.
