they were always on the softer side of stoner rock so I don't find their direction surprising at all

So, Vader are playing in my town, in some lovely club. I almost wouldn't believe it, but it's on their website. loving Vader! For £8, drat. Not even going to question it. Just booking the next day off work and going to break my neck. EDIT: On checking it's probably because their current drummer is from my town. I never would has guessed that without looking it up.

I don't know if you've seen them before, but Vader are one of only two death metal bands I've seen live whose vocals I'd say sound as good or better live than on the albums (the other being Artificial Brain). Saw them a few years ago headlining with Vital Remains and a bunch of minor support bands and it was one of the best shows I've been to. Enjoy!

A week or so ago I posted something about the Kunsthauch label being a rip-off/bootlegger re: business dealings with Sorcier des Glaces. Well, apparently there have been further developments and not all was what had been implied by the band. Or so I assume. I'm going by the reaction over at NWN, because there's no way I'm reading this enormous pdf of emails. From what I can gather, SdG changed their mind about working with this label long after the process was underway. http://www.kunsthauch.com/index.html http://www.kunsthauch.com/pic/gmail.pdf And though they haven't posted anything about it since last time, I'm also leaving SdG's FB link here so that I can extricate myself from it all and leave it up to anyone who wants to follow the drama: https://www.facebook.com/sorcierdesglaces/

Funny story, that song was actually the first time I ever heard Vader. I was kinda confused, going like "Huh, I thought this was supposed to be a death metal band?" It's not a very good song.  EDIT: More specifically, it was for a compilation album of "music inspired by the game" that was included in some special edition of the game, IIRC.

So the new Amon Amarth album has a song with Doro Pesch doing guest vocals. Can't say I would have expected that.

Just booking the next day off work and going to break my neck. I was backpacking around Europe and saw them in Krakow a couple years ago and it blew me away. I would say it was the best live show I've ever been to. They've only been to my current city (Calgary) once in the last 10 years and that was when Necropolis came out.

Vader chat got me to go check out the Beast, found out Vader have apparently uploaded the album on their own youtube channel in high quality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMp6Fcp-XZY It's a good album.

Yeah, that's some pretty good 80's metal. Gonna have to give it a proper car listen on the way home. Put Hetfield behind the mic and it could be a Metallica album.

New Metal Church sounds good. Sounds more like speed metal than thrash, though I haven't listened to anything beyond their debut and The Dark, so maybe their sound changed previously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tr75lFA9Mg4

And as another kinda related bummer, Grand Magus released a new song and that one doesn't sound very exciting either: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_9jrowMBz0 It's not all that different from the first single off their previous album, but it just doesn't have the same gusto. Sounds kinda meh.

It's just kinda more of the same, there's a handful of faster paced songs that I hear entirely hear the iron maiden connections people mentioned. But yeah I didn't have lofty hopes from them as they're sorta the radio rock version of Unleashed, who are still the reigning kings of viking metal.

The one thing I'll say for new Amon Amarth is that the vocals are killer. Johan gets better and better on every album even if the music itself doesn't.

Spanish Manlove posted:It's just kinda more of the same But that's just it, it doesn't sound like "the same" to me. This album sounds a lot lighter than, say, Twilight of the Thunder God. A lot of this stuff is almost like straight-up power metal except for Hegg's vocals, and even the heavier songs sound really stripped down, like the songs have less meat on their bones. Maybe that's Andy Sneap's production at work, I'm not really familiar with his work but I've read some less than admiring comments about him. I agree with Hulk Krogan though, Hegg still kicks rear end. Even the couple spoken parts he does sound badass.
