Gojira has a pre-order page set up for a new DVD they're putting out in June. It looks like a bonanza of cool Gojira poo poo, half live stuff and half documentary. Predorder Link: http://mascotlabelgroup.com/gojira/gojira-dvd.html

I've been really getting into Alcest lately (and Neige's other stuff: Old Silver Key, Lantlôs, Amesoeurs) Can someone suggest similar stuff?

QPZIL posted:I've been really getting into Alcest lately (and Neige's other stuff: Old Silver Key, Lantlôs, Amesoeurs) My suggestion's not quite the same kind of stuff, but it is a band that mixes post-rock/atmospheric black metal flawlessly, probably better than any I've ever heard. New band from France - The Great Old Ones. edit: vvv good call on Mar de Grises, can't believe I forgot about them. edit2: If you're not aware of them already, you might want to check out Deafheaven.

I can't recommend it enough. More like Alcest though, An Autumn for Crippled Children might work for you. That's about all I got.

The Grey Waters EP 'Below The Ever Setting Sun' gave me a kind of Alcest/Katatonia vibe.

Seriously though the album is out in some countries now and it's loving amazing. I'm not a huge fan of Death/Black etc metal but these guys nail it. If you like Opeth and similar bands then give them a listen. They pull off the Heavy to clean switch like no others. The other song they released a while ago from this album is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMorAdnCixg But I'd suggest getting the whole 'Portal of I' album. It's a great album and the fact it came from Australia makes it all the more impressive!!

Looks like Akerfeldt was in a car accident and taken to the hospital, missing the Minnesota show. http://www.metalsucks.net/2012/05/08/opeths-mikael-akerfeldt-in-car-accident/ Tour supposed to go on tomorrow in Wash DC, but I doubt Opeth will play if this is actually happened. EDIT: Looks like some bullshit. Opeth has released a statement saying he wasn't involved in a car accident, but hit his head on the tour bus. He should be back for the DC show.

I am too lazy to click through all the Aussie Metal links to find out what artists you guys are posting about, so have some Woods of Desolation. This album was recorded with the drummer from Austere and is very, very good. EDIT: Hooray! They weren't already featured.

I went to the Chicago Opeth/Mastadon/Ghost show. Ghost loving killed it and Mastadon was incredible. I don't care for Opeth but there was no way I was missing the other two. The thing that sucked was that Behemoth, et. al (minus Watain) were playing in Chicago the same night. I went for Ghost since they seem kind of "fly by night" to me and I wanted to make sure I saw them before they inevitably go back to whatever real bands they are in...

Did you notice if Opeth's set was pretty heavy or did you even stay for them? I saw them with Katatonia a while back on their Heratage tour and as much as I love the band, it was kind of a drag to hear them only play their newer, softer stuff.

I stayed for them, since Mastodon played last (I think I read somewhere that they are switching off headlining). I'm not super familiar with their catalog, but most of what they played sounded like prog rock. They played a couple heavier tracks toward the end that were OK, but most of the set was pretty meandering and kind of boring imo.

Yeah that's kind of what I had expected; they kind of seem like they're in the grey between prog-metal and a kind of ambient (Lately, a la Heritage, at least). Akerfeldt's side project with Steven Wilson really worked well for me though, in that "grey" genre.

The perfect fusion of prog/death metal is why I loved them in the first place. There is nothing "wrong" with Heritage, but it is nowhere near as special as the rest of their catalogue. I think they did the softer stuff a lot better on Damnation anyway, man, I love that album!

I think one of the things they did best was not only the fact they could play both styles extremely well, but their ability to transition between styles during songs. Going from a nice soft prog melody to an insanely heavy death riff gave the most dramatic effect. Without that, they're just another prog band.

I dunno if you guys are interested in metal/heavy electronic music (though there seems to be a lot of crossover, myself included, much to the chagrin of rave kids), but this Bong-Ra mix has really gotten me excited lately. Brutal. http://electronicexplorations.org/?show=bong-ra-2 I'd also like to say I dabble in production as a hobby and like to mess with lot of genres, so I made my last track really metal influenced.
