Metallica has probably some of the most memorable songs ever. I don't enjoy them live that much but they still have those songs where everyone can sing them and enjoy.

Guys I went to the cinema earlier to see a movie which I heard was good and I was curious to see. However, there was a really bad trailer beforehand about some kind of romantic comedy and I went home rather than having to suffer through that.

Their albums since AtWW have been pretty solid but not spectatular, but I'd say this is closer to that pinnacle of quality than any of their other albums since. Winter's Gate is pretty loving fantastic, imo.

I thought there was a music fest thread somewhere but can't find it :shrug:

Won a pair of tix for JJO Sonicboom this saturday 10/1 in Janesville Wis. With it being so close though I'm having trouble finding someone to take, or even someone that wants both. It's an all-day(gates at 11, first band at 12) outdoor fest, face value on the tickets is $75 in advance, $100 day-of.

Anyone nearby wanna go? If you just want the pair, I'd consider $100 for both, for a single I'd go with $50 to cover parking and some beers. I live about half hour south of Janesville so for delivery i'd be willing to meet that morning at a bar nearby or something. [insert standard I-will-not-skin-you--and-molest-your-corpse-in-the-parking-lot-of-Dennys disclaimer]

Bands are... not sure of the order, so this is how they're listed. I would assume they are in reverse order based on relative popularity, but who knows
Disturbed, Korn, Chevelle, Ghost, Alterbridge, Sevendust, Pop Evil, Trivium, Parkway Drive, Skindred, Adelitas Way, Nonpoint, Crobot

Sunday bands are Avenged Sevenfold, Breaking Benjamin, Pierce the Veil, 3 doors down, hellyeah, motionless in white, avatar, amity affliction, dope, young guns, wayland, twelve foot ninja, I prevail irrelevant as Idon't have Sunday tickets

I hope that's just a really low bit rate upload because goddamn that track hurts my ears. It's as if they shaped the equalizer like a bell.

I like the song though.

edit - had to go listen to something else to make sure my own PC wasn't loving something up, and nope, it's the upload.

The funniest part is that all the heavier parts are basically stock Opeth riffs but played at lower gain and with a bunch of dorky synth and organ bullshit on top, so it's like the album is constantly reminding you how good Opeth used to be.

It is yet another band with Phil Swanson on vocals, but his vocal style really fits the sound of this band.

Saw this bad boy on bandcamp today, clicked on it because of the cover, then saw that review namedropping Manilla Road, Isen Torr and Cirith Ungol and immediately bought it without even listening to it lol. I think for a 34 minute album there's a minute or two too much filler but what's there is really good

Just like In Flames, Opeth died in the early 2000's, and just like In Flames, one man continues to ride the good name of the band into the ground.

I haven't listened to Opeth in a while but the new In Flames is atrocious even the video is awful and cringeworthy. Sucks because In Flames first album and EP are some of my favorite pieces of music.
