Vulture Culture posted:Closer to Heartwork. Surgical Steel was only pretty good on the whole, but the best tracks from it rank up there with their classics. Cool. Heartwork was the first album I really liked of theirs. I just can't get into "real" grindcore.

prog metal is awesome but opeth isn't aside from the first 2 albums then again, i mostly like prog metal for the ostentatious wank and keyboard abuse, and opeth don't have much of that... maybe people with different prog preferences would like em

I only ever listened to Heartwork because I like it that much but I guess I'll check out other Carcass albums. Listening to Surgical Steel right now and I'm surprised that I'm liking it.

I had assumed there was no point in checking out an extreme metal recorded album 30 years after the band formed. I guess I was wrong.

Maybe try Sculptured's Embodiment. 12-tone serialism is pretty progressive for something invented in the '20s.

02-6611-0142-1 posted:progressive metal would be interesting if it contained any progressive elements If your criteria is that, for something to be "progressive", it has to be doing something that hasn't been done before... most of the classic 70s prog albums don't even apply. Or at least, bands like Yes and Gentle Giant stopped being "progressive" after 2 albums. But there's 2 problems with that literal interpretation of the etymology, beyond the obvious ones. For one, people tend to mutually agree on borders of musical genres based on shared stylistic features. And almost everything called "progressive" (barring progressive trance/house etc. which has a different etymology) does share certain features, like extended instrumental sections, use of exotic time signatures/scales, and songwriting that's more narrative than most verse/chorus format stuff. The second problem is that the etymology you're using, which takes "progressive" in the sense of pushing music as a whole forward, is false. The original prog bands didn't call themselves progressive because they thought they were doing something not done in music before - I'm pretty sure that, aside from egomaniacs like Emerson, they knew they were adding jazz and classical elements to rock - they called themselves "progressive" because their music progressed over the course of a song. Extended, linear songs weren't a thing in rock music at the time, and to distinguish these bands from pure pop and rock records, people in that scene often applied the "progressive" label. Anyways, lots of early progressive metal was incredibly experimental for its time. Watchtower, Doom, Psychotic Waltz, Mind over Four, Confessor, Marge Litch, etc.

Carcass was fantastic live and played a solid mix from all their albums. They even made "Keep on Rotting" sound awesome live. They were energetic, had great stage banter, and played some of my favorite songs of Necroticism. Everyone played well, especially Night Demon who made me an instant fan with their performance. Crowbar sounded great too; they were so heavy/loud, I was convinced they knocked a filling loose. It's such a weird line up, but it works.

Gamma Nerd posted:Jute Gyte Jute Gyte's Bandcamp posted:The pitch content that opens “Woodcutter” is a microtonal extension of the opening theme of Brahms' first piano quartet, though it's not easy (or necessary) to hear the source in the final arrangement. The guitars play transformations of this material created through standard serial operations and also by winding or spiraling through a complete or partial array as if it were a labyrinth, a technique of Ursula Mamlok's described in Straus's Twelve-Tone Music in America. Powerful words for what sounds like the TFC Happy Birthday Song being played on a tape deck whose batteries are about to bite the dust

Non Serviam posted:Today at Wacken I saw that they realized the overlap between goonness and Metal. You might think of these the moment you are in your tent in the middle of the night a mile away from a pissing spot while rain is pouring out of the sky like crazy while your tent is six feet deep in the mud and the path outside is completely transformed in a big pile of mud and piss in which you will be in to your knees in the next step you take towards a place where you actually can take a piss. While contemplating on this terrible endevour you realise the shoes, or if you were smart boots, are completely messed up covered in mud, cowshit and piss (yes, its not only piss what you are smelling but also cowshit) which will be hell to put on and off without messing up your tent. I was there in 2012 and 2015, it was terrible. When the weather is good I really love this festival as it was awesome in 14 but I might never go anymore ever because when it rains (which happen more then not in these regions) it's awful. Also the line up is oftenly rather mediocre and at the same time you have to get tickets way before the line up is shaping up. Monstaland fucked around with this message at 07:48 on Aug 4, 2016 |

I wouldn't camp at Wacken ever again, having experienced taking down my tent during a storm in 2011. Being in the metal press is hardly a sign of being "the man". It's just an array of incompetent assholes who think the world cares about what they have to say. I'm one of them. If anybody wants to hang out, hit me up.

I saw Thy Art Is Murder tonight, honestly I thought this kind of music was pretty dumb when I'd listened to it on my computer or wherever but god loving drat is the live experience something else. Why even bother making records, there's no way that sort of energy can be captured in an audio file. I am so sore.

The latest Katatonia album felt more Opeth-like than Opeth has in the past decade to me. I like how the vocals in Sorceress reminded me of Layne Stayley in a few parts, though. But then I remembered how boring the "Would" cover was. Felt Katatonia has done well in transitioning from their past into their adult-lives music style. All I've felt from Opeth since Watershed was pretentiousness and 70s cosplay.

Guess 20 years was a pretty good run. Aw man, at least they had a good run. Hopefully these new tracks are good. Dillinger isn't metal in the purist sense of the word, but I still think they've still made some of the heaviest/aggressive music around.

Yeah their orchestrations and poo poo have gotten out of hand on their newer albums. I wish they just went back to how NiME sounded, that album sounds epic enough. That said, their live sound is loving great too and I will never ever, EVER get tired of their wailing guitar sound. Fake edit: VALHALLA, DELIVERANCE! WHY'VE YOU EVER FORGOTTEN ME
