I just heard the new ICS Vortex album, and it sounds like Enslaved fronted by Geddy Lee. You might like it, though there are no black metal vocals.

Qu Appelle posted:I like Enslaved. I like Geddy Lee. I may have to check this out. How is Asgeir's drumming? I'm not familiar with the guy's body of work, but I feel it's pretty appropriate for the material. Very rock n' roll style of writing while remaining on and not behind the beat. I guess you could call it clinical but it strikes me as more not-sloppy. The drum sound, like every other instrument, is pretty highly compressed. Overall I dig the album.

Radio Paranoia posted:The whole band relocated to the states this month as part of some sort of musician "refugee" movement - which I don't really agree with but whatever. v Can you elaborate on this? I can't imagine them qualifying for actual refugee status (they're from South Africa, not Zimbabwe or Syria), so are you referring to some sort of "everyone move to the States" movement?

fatherdog posted:They actually brought their own sound system for the show. The speakers looked like the monolith from 2001, they were like seven feet tall and four feet wide. Did the show also feature Joey DiMaio going the gently caress off on the promoter/false metal/true metal/his bass tech? I swear he ranted for the better part of 20 minutes when I saw them and that alone was worth the price of admission. It's a shame they don't tour more in the US, I don't get it. Sadly, they no longer offer the 5-lb Manowar chocolate bar on their website. My all-time favorite piece of merch.

I saw them yesterday in a room that was probably twenty yards square and they absolutely killed it. I had no idea it was only two guys; the sound was full and it would seem that the record required little overdubbing, which is shocking. I was also able to verify that the bizarre robo-Abbath vocal delivery is done without any kind of processing. e: $5? Get outta here.

They were selling the double splatter vinyl "tome" editions of "Ominous Doctrines..." and "Into the Infernal Regions..." that Hells Headbangers put out this year and one rather poorly printed t-shirt that I bought anyway. There was some sort of distro guy responsible for their stuff who was selling vinyl and CDs, but I'm not sure if he was with them for the tour or just in charge of their poo poo for that night.

Radio Paranoia posted:I was planning a big effortpost about SA metal for when a friends' band in Durban released their album, but it's apparently fallen through so I should probably go ahead and do it now. Well, on Monday when I'm back at work. I'd be quite interested. There was a post/black metal band that you or another SA goon posted here a while back-- they had just changed their name I believe, but they were really good. Is the metal community in South Africa multiracial, or is it mostly white? Are you aware of scenes in other African countries?

Meclin posted:Has anyone caught the newish show "Metal Evolution" on VH-1 Classic? It is an expansion of the documentary A Headbangers Journey. The host is a Canadian headbanging sociologist. I was unaware of the European power metal scene, besides Malmstein, and they did a whole episode on the genre recently. I have been listening to Nightwish an embarrasing amount of time since hearing them on the show. Any suggestions of other big power metal groups to check out? Hammerfall, Demons and Wizards, Dragonforce in ascending order of hilarity.

A friend recommended a band called Hopelorn to me yesterday and they're pretty great. It's basically Swedish d-beat crossed with a fairly traditional black metal sound (Avsky, Sargeist, and Taake came to mind at different times), but it's executed superbly. You can download their album for free at their Bandcamp page. I also just love the vocals. Can anyone recommend anything similar? I know they're not the first blackened crust band to exist but there is some particular je ne sais quoi about this.

That track is great. I, like many here, got really excited about the new Sigh but it's just not holding up to repeated listens. It's the same feeling I had with the Mars Volta-- you hear all of this amazing stuff the first time, but there are few subtleties to be appreciated over repeated listens. I will say this, though-- I'm going to have to add Shinichi Ichikawa to my short list (J. Mascis, Doug Martsch, Matt Johnsen (Dawnbringer)) of guys that I can listen to wank on guitar all day.

Lots of great recommendations here, but for grind I'd add Infanticide (the Swedish one), Pig Destroyer, and Mumakil (Customized Warfare especially). Someone mentioned Immortal earlier-- their whole catalog is great but Damned in Black and Sons of Northern Darkness have that more straight-ahead mid-paced vibe that Amon Amarth does so well. For symphonic black metal, you really can't beat Emperor (the later stuff will appeal to you more if you're a Dimmu Borgir fan). Also, has anybody else been listening to the new Cattle Decapitation? I liked the band to begin with but Monolith of Inhumanity is leaps and bounds better than anything they've ever done. e: I think it's been mentioned earlier but the new Black Breath album, Sentenced to Life, absolutely rips. It's more on the death n' roll side but goddamn is it angry. Monkeytime fucked around with this message at 15:29 on May 25, 2012 |

Do Not Resuscitate posted:I took my son to see Rush last summer. He mostly sat there and played his DS. He'll rock out to AC/DC and loves Phil's scream that begins "Great Southern Trendkill," but he's mostly into stuff like Pitbull and Lady Gaga. Oh well. My son loves the new Borknagar album. I think it's OK, but he won't let me turn it off in the car. He's 3. He mostly loves female vocalists, and in that vein has anyone been listening to the new Jess and The Ancient Ones album? It's very good clean vocals/female fronted-'70s occult rock. Fans of Jex Thoth/Sabbath Assembly take notice.

I noticed Year of the Goat has a new 7" out on Van which I'd order if I wasn't broke, apparently their full-length is now slated for a late summer release. Regarding the CD question, I guess I would if we were talking $1-2 a CD, I rarely buy CDs at all anymore though.

The Clit Avoider posted:The t-shirt is not official by Slayer, it is not "a metal t-shirt" and it is not band merch. It's a print by sub-label of a high street fashion label who print music and pop culture brands onto t-shirts to sell to teenage girls via an in-house deal with Topshop (who's owner, Philip Green, just happens to be Jewish). Slayer might be being exploited by having unlicensed merch being sold, but the Totenkopf is certainly not sullying their good name, especially when it comes to Jeff Hanneman:   And introducing the "Jeff Hanneman Series" pearl fretboard inlays:  After the 12th fret, they switch from totenkopf to two side-by-side sig runes, or SS bolts. So it's not insulting to Slayer to associate them with Nazi iconography when they do it themselves all the time. Having said that, a giant swastika with "slayer" written across it might be crossing some sort of line

... or alternatively immature, shallow and affecting a lassez faire attitude, but the reality of the matter is that that's a highly offensive print that happens to also contain the logo of an extremely well known metal band who've had to fight off contentions of nazi fandom in the past. And it's been done in the name of making money from teenagers who have most likely absolutely no idea who the band are or what they sound like.
