Henchman of Santa posted:Jamming the new Overkill now. Could this be the best 17th album in a band's career ever? Chicago XVII was pretty jammin'. Now, let's get the hate-train rollin' for the new Dragonforce! http://www.metal-temple.com/site/catalogues/entry/reviews/cd_3/d_2/dragonforce-maximum.htm e: best 17th album ever? Motorhead's Inferno? Neil Young's 17th was the utterly forgettable Landing on Water. Springsteen's (the other) Wrecking Ball was his 17th, and was pretty good.

Noctis Horrendae posted:What subgenre would you guys place Ghost under? Black metal? Doom metal? Both? Year of the Goat, I guess. If you don't want the Satan thing then I'd recommend Alice in Chains. They're really just a hard rock band that sings about the Devil and have nifty costumes.

Sunshine Mix posted:I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but are there any more groups that sound like or similar to Deafheaven? In all candor I normally don't go in for metal at all, but I heard Sunbather yesterday and really, really liked it. From a bit back, but Entropia's Vesper is what you're looking for. I kept going back and forth about whether I liked this or Sunbather more, and finally settled on the former.

The new Krieg album is streaming over at Stereogum. It's a great synthesis of black metal, d-beat, crust, and weird electronics. Absolutely loving killer. http://www.stereogum.com/1701478/stream-krieg-transient-stereogum-premiere/mp3s/album-stream/

El Gallinero Gros posted:I was listening to a streaming metal station once and he introduced a live version of "hosed with a Knife" as being "one for the ladies". I think there's at least some self-awareness there. He's been introducing "hosed with a Knife" that way for years. It's quite the bon mot. I saw CC on some catastrophe of a festival tour with Gwar, In Flames, and a few others maybe ten years ago. George Fisher called my wife and I "a couple of faggots" for sitting halfway up the pavilion seating eating rice krispie treats instead of joining the other 200 or so attendees down in the pit. That's my Corpsegrinder story, and I play several instruments Anyway, the new Dawnbringer dropped yesterday. It's good, full of riffs and self-indulgent guitar wankery that would make J. Mascis blush, but I feel that while on the one hand he's honing his sound toward something very consistent, they're in danger of contracting Amon Amarth disease and putting out the same record over and over.

Tribulation was the best part of that Watain/In Solitude/Tribulation tour last year. What an amazing live band. Also, it's good to see a little-known underground act like Cannibal Corpse get taken out on a big tour. Congrats, guys!

The more I think about it, Black Anvil's "Hail Death" might be my favorite album from this year. I gather that it alienated a lot of their fans, but that's what happens when you change things up. Lots of tempo and mood changes along with some post-hardcore and more traditional metal elements. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9GWglmpi6k

DeusExMachinima posted:Year of the Goat released a 3 song EP at the end of last year called The Key and the Gate. Mystic Mountains will blow your heathen gods damned minds. I'm glad bands like Goat and Blood Ceremony and JATAO are doing Ghost-without-gimmick. Thanks for the heads up on this. I thought their debut 3-song EP was tremendous, but their full-length lacked focus.

CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:but that skeletonwitch logo is pointy as gently caress so its thrash This is probably the best point made so far. 90% of subgenre distinctions can be made simply through logo analysis. Also seconding the power metal thread, all you losers need somewhere to talk about Nightwish and Jag Panzer or whatever in peace. No clean singing, 666 and hails etc. I've been listening to this band Ghost Bath a lot over the last few days. They're from North Dakota but got away with pretending to be from China for years through a cunning strategy of never doing interviews or giving out pictures of themselves. They're "post" black metal, which if I remember correctly is red meat for thread hate but I'm sure some of you will like it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnz7lcei1IA

Henchman of Santa posted:Goatwhore just announced a tour with Ringworm, Black Breath and Theories. I have never listened to or seen Goatwhore (surprisingly, since they seem to be on every package tour), but I like Ringworm and Black Breath and it's on a Saturday. Should I look into it? Their records tend to be kind of forgettable but they are an awesome live band. And like someone else said, they're last so you can just bail if they're not your thing. I'm really curious to hear new music from Black Breath. I ran into their bass player at Deathfest last year and he said that their new material was trying to "capture the same kind of magic" found on Boston's first record. He was also really, really blazed.

nerve posted:i mean to me that's a pretty extreme thing to say no matter what, but in this case it's a dude that is suffering from a pretty severe drug addiction. yeah i know the dude has hosed people over, but do you actually honestly want to read tomorrow that he was found OD'd in a fuckin crack house? would that make you happy? Apparently he's been doing this sort of thing to fans and bandmates/collaborators since the '00s and well before he got involved with heroin. The drug problems just seem to have increased the frequency and scope of his scams to the point that it's actually destroyed his reputation. I don't wish death upon him for ripping me off or anything, but this isn't some sad Basketball Diaries-like story where a basically good kid gets involved with drugs and alienates everyone.
