The worst thing about it is that I really hate avant garde and overly proggy experimental metal so I'm left with bands playing genres I like but just rehashing what better bands did before. I don't think metal was ever as varied as people seem to think and that unfortunate opinion leads to either a) bands trying so hard to be new and fresh while making their entire sound a gimmick stuffed into a corner (djent/fusion with chugs) or b) writing the same stuff their heroes did but watering it down to the formula they know makes sense. There's just no personality and honesty in so many bands. Listen to Megadeth and then listen to something like Skeletonwitch. I don't dislike the latter but there's such a stark contrast of personality and human feel between them and it's something I see in too many newer bands. Old man yells at cloud etc

Man, my off-hand comment sparked an interesting discussion. I feel accomplished! It's absolutely true that the sheer amount of different music that is readily available these days has the downside of saturation. Even still, at any given time there are usually a few albums I'm fixed on listening to repeatedly. The better the album the larger a chunk of my weekly listening it will take, and the slower it'll fade out from rotation, but eventually everything will drop into "reserve" so to speak, to be replaced with other new discoveries. Then of course there are the permanent favourites that I will keep going back to time and again. Another little thing I realised at some point is that my musical taste has been reaching further backwards in time the older I've gotten. As a teenager I was all about the 90s euro power metal stuff, when I grew up a bit I started appreciating the 80s style cheese and poo poo, and the closer I got to 30 the more I started liking all that 70s sounding buzz and groove and stuff. Then I kinda skipped a bit and jumped all the way to swing. Speaking of 70s sounding stuff, I discovered the self-titled debut of Blues Pills a year late, but I played the everloving poo poo out of this album last year. So loving good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Evh8E3_oI

I'll sometimes spend a few hours going through youtube links, or spotify related artists, trying to find new stuff that I like and I very rarely have much luck with it. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there, but there's something about the core group of bands in their respective genre. So, I end up listening to the same stuff on heavy rotation, with an occasional new album every once in a while.

symbolic posted:gently caress me, now this thread is making me feel too young. I was only born a week or so after Megadeth released Cryptic Writings and I feel like I missed out on a lot of bands in their heyday. You missed all the good memories at concerts that ever were, and ever will be. All you can ever aspire to is seeing lame-rear end ripoffs echoing the good old days live next to a 14 year old FFDP fan with his soccer mom escort on one side and bros drinking Red Bull on the other. Hail Satan.

If anybody's going to be in RVA tonight, my band Bearstorm is opening for goddamn ABSU on the first night of their tour. Come up to me and say something goony and I'll give you a CD or a shirt or whatever, I'm the dude in glasses and an Opeth shirt.

The slightest exposure to water causes it to catch fire and/or violently explode. Admittedly, that is pretty loving metal comes along bort posted:i've been on a big vanadium kick lately consider branching out to niobium it looks loving sick anodized

So, uh, definitely go see Absu if they come to your city. Goddamn. Here's a slightly-blurry picture of the front and back of the setlist (yes, the setlist was so long it covered BOTH sides of the page!): http://imgur.com/a/Lc7IX

I had never seen them live before - does Proscriptor usually come out from behind the drum set, or is that new? Because they got some other guy to drum and he was upfront the entire second half of that set. Dude has an insanely commanding stage presence, btw - doing all sorts of occult signs and poo poo in the middle of songs. At one point during Stone of Destiny he just stood there and glared at the audience for like forty seconds and it was incredibly intense.

Went to go see Fleshgod Apocalypse last night at a club venue here in London. loving savage, they put on a good show. It's really cool to see the classical pianist guy do his thing over the blastbeats and shredding. Would recommend.

I'm quite enjoying Akhenaten at the moment, same Egypt fixation as Nile but more cheesy stock Kontakt 'ethnic' instruments. It's not the best thing ever but its fun for what it is.

Don't get me wrong first kill is great, but this one is completely different to anything they've done before, it's very iron maiden-y in a good way. New sylosis single is rad as gently caress by the way, check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QAcUws7BP8 Saw them play it live on saturday and it was the tits. They were filming for the music video there as well so I'm hoping I'll be able to find myself in it when it's out!
