Fenrir posted:I feel like the line has moved over the last 30 years as metal became more extreme, and there is a lot of stuff we considered metal then that we wouldn't if it came out now. there's been a whole trend of metal bands that sound like 70s hard rock for the past decade

I don't know if mean Aerosmith is an insult or not. I don't do much music chat and I like most bands I listen to so I never know who is popular or hated. KozmoNaut posted:Wildhoney. That is a pretty awesome song, thanks.

I think the big difference between a hard rock riff and a metal riff is a blues influence. AC\DC were bluesy as gently caress. Iron Maiden are absolutely not bluesy at all.

https://necropanther.bandcamp.com/album/the-doomed-city Just came across this new release, and it sounds loving awesome so far. Like a big happy mishmash of death, thrash, black, trad and whatever, drenched in melody sauce. Some parts are kinda reminiscent of Skeletonwitch, but this is way more all over the place. In a good way. EDIT: No seriously though, it's impressive how these guys switch from style to style even within songs without it sounding jarring or out-of-place at all. This poo poo just flows.

Opeth turned into 80's prog-rock revival, but I still consider them a metal band and the new stuff is still "heavy" just in a different way

New ep from The Dark Prison Massacre https://amputatedveinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/overtreated-cause-opposited Crazed slamming brutal death from China. Too short, otherwise it's pretty much perfect. Splattered - Carnivortex https://amputatedveinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/carnivortex Killer brutal death from Cali with excellent Dying Fetus meets Suffocation meets a toilet bowl vocals. Atoll - Zoopocalypse https://gorehouseproductions.bandcamp.com/album/zoopocalypse I've been following Atoll for awhile now, but this new release of godly brutal death is way above anything else they've put out, and will definitely be in my top five this year. Fat riffs and Michael Keaton Batman samples. I also was CD shopping at my local store and came across this disc from Mystik https://mystikswe.bandcamp.com/releases <--  Cover Most retro metal doesn't really do much for me, I'd rather just listen to the original stuff from that time period, but this right here is pretty much a perfect representation of mid 80s speed / heavy metal ala Acid or Warlock. Check out track 2 - Nightmares. So good. Vocalist sounds like if Doro Pesch and Geddy Lee had a baby together and the sorting hat placed her in Slytherin House. The drumming is also awesome, reminds me a lot of Mikey Dee's work on King Diamond's 80s albums. I don't know if anyone else ever posted about them, but I really like this album and I'm sad that I didn't discover it until a couple of days ago (came out in May).

Belphegor is amazing live, and Suffocation was ridiculous. The Sanctuary in Hamtramck, MI might be my favorite venue ever. Going there tomorrow for Gatecreeper and Exhumed too.

Here's a quick write-up of the Hammer of Doom festival last night Thronehammer - missed most of their set, but did get a "Thronehammer Against Fascism" sticker for free, so 6/10 Iron Walrus - look, if one of you's gonna wear a black balaclava with white tusks painted on it, then all of you need to wear one. I don't make the rules. Musically: sludge, bad Tanith - you know how people sometimes make a distinction between doom metal and doom rock? This could reasonably be called power rock, then. Slightly too much wank and time signature fuckery for my simple tastes, but overall very compelling. Just an incredibly odd fit on this bill though, because this is relentlessly upbeat stuff Messa - they still make one guy pull guitar/bass double-duty, and it is still incredibly frustrating when the other guitarist starts approaching the synth, because things are about to crawl to a halt. On the plus side, one of their new songs has blast beats in it, which was at least funny Mirror of Deception - can't believe these guys are still around! Like seeing an old friend. Great stuff Lord Vicar - just what the reverend ordered! Khemmis - I'm not gonna lie, I never actually listened to them because the combination of the name, the album art, and the fact that they're from Denver - the "Mile High City" - made me expect stoner sludge. But it's actually epic doom metal! With a singer that can't sing :/ Still, the leads ripped. Oh, and the occasional polka beat too Swallow the Sun - doom/death with Linkin Park sounding clean vocals. Hard pass Scald - !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Furthermore, they may have actually reunited for good, not just for this gig, because they played one new song. Highlight of the day for me. Atlantean Kodex - I only watched the first half because I genuinely cannot stand them because of the chud-ness and so on. It's frustrating because their music is actually not that bad. Anecdotally, there were many vests with both AK and Sabaton patches on them, and a substantial portion of their fan base looks like thumbs with pubes on them (more substantial than normal for metal, I mean). Also, I saw one guy in a Nargaroth shirt outside earlier that I'm filing here because I can

I mean, feel free to give them a spin anyway. It's not like they couldn't play their instruments or whatever, I just found it uninspired. My tolerance for sludge is pretty low, at least if it seems like no one is going to OD on stage
