Have any of you guys heard of God of Atheists? I just became aware of this band, I don't know if they're new or what. If you don't feel like clicking that link it's a band featuring Trym, Ihsahn and ICS Vortex. They don't seem to have any music yet but it looks like a cool future thing.

Misogynist posted:On more of a prog track, if any of you guys dig Existem, they just made their debut a free download on Bandcamp: Hey, thanks for the shoutout. Kind of weird to make the announcement and see someone post about it here in the thread. We're working on new stuff and ought to have a new EP out this summer, if you care.

I don't think djent is a genre, just a movement in prog metal. To me calling it a genre is like calling Swedish-style death metal a different genre from American-style. Most of it is redundant, same-y crap but I do like a few bands (Cloudkicker, Animals as Leaders, Periphery). I know it's not the metal thread's type of jam and I'm fine with that, sometimes I just need something super hi-fi and modern with rubbery riffs. Speaking of which, I saw Meshuggah last night and they completely killed it. One of the tightest live outfits I've ever seen. They all play to a click so they don't even count in their songs, they just start with no warning. It's awesome.

Fiendish Dr. Wu posted:I agree, they put on a tight show. Last weekend Jens was pretty sick and the guy from Intronaut sang vocals for the last song. Imagine that opportunity. Yeah, I heard about that. As cool as that would be I'd be down if I didn't get to see Jens perform. Luckily he's all better now and he kicked rear end last night.

nagel posted:Just bought your cd, great stuff! How's the shipping to Sweden, timewise? Thanks a lot! I don't know if we've ever shipped to Sweden before, but most of our international orders arrive within about a week of shipping. Our singer handles mailing them out and he'll get to it within the next 2-3 days I'd guess. If it doesn't show just shoot us an email or PM me.

Minto Took posted:To no one's great surprise, Paul Bostaph now drums again for Slayer. Am I alone in thinking Bostaph was the superior drummer compared to Dave Lombardo? I know Lombardo gets all the (deserved) credit, but Bostaph's drumming was the bright spot of their lackluster '90s output, plus he was a badass on Testament's Formation of Damnation album. Not that I approve of Slayer being active in any capacity now that Jeff's gone, just saying.

Stargate posted:I can't stop listening to 'Edge of the Earth' by Sylosis. I'm still reeling from how good their vocalist/lead guitarist is. Just phenomenal. As far as songwriting and technicality goes they just hit the nail right on the head for me. Could anyone suggest bands with similar styles to this? Like fast, hard but with the slowed down "epic" guitar sections too? Good guitar solos would be a huge bonus. Revocation?

Any of you guys who went to Maiden last night see the Christian group protesting the concert outside? They were handing out these fliers of Eddie crying and praying for forgiveness. It was pretty funny.

Yo metal thread, a year and a half ago I posted a thread advertising my prog metal band Existem's full-length. Some people liked it so I thought I'd let you know we put up a new EP a couple days ago for free. Check it out here.

Woolie Wool posted:Modern thrash needs fewer tired Exodus/Slayer/Kreator/Sepultura knockoffs and more power-thrash--bands like Artillery, Toxik, Realm, Forbidden, etc. But then that would require them to actually know how to write songs and hire a real singer so why bother with that when you can just take the path of least resistance, right?

On the topic of Japanese metal, a few years ago someone in this thread posted a live video of a band called Gargoyle who wore costumes and played kind of a speed/thrash/power metal thing. I've been trying to find that video again ever since, anyone know what I'm talking about? Video was like 6ish minutes long.

Drove up to Omaha to catch Agalloch last night, fantastic show. They had a great atmosphere and kind of bounced between the new record and Ashes, with some Marrow and a couple older jams. I'm glad I made the trip, that's one more ban to cross off my bucket list.

gently caress yeh dude I saw Gojira last week. I'd describe myself as a casual fan and they put on a really good show. Extremely tight musicians and the setlist was great. Go see em if you haven't. I met Alex Webster from CC last month, he was a really cool guy. He introduced me to his friend that used to be in CC and Origin. We pretty much shot the poo poo on metal and the bass for a while (I play an instrument~)

Did that Journal song have a jingle from Final Fantasy in it? And it came out in 2010?! I like some of these bands being posted but lol I usually refer to the more metal-oriented metalcore bands as metallic hardcore. But that's probably kind of dumb/lame. I'm talking about bands like Converge when I use that term. Speaking of which, I'm psyched for that At the Gates tour in a couple weeks with them. They have a DVD coming out soon too which should be sweet, cause they do pretty well recorded, IMO.

Alaska/Colors were peak BTBAM for me. Great Misdirect was ok but I couldn't get into the last album very much. They seemed more interested in out-BTBAMing themselves with more and more complex arrangements and technical parts that when I saw them last year playing the album all the way through it bored the pants off of me, and when they played a Colors song afterwards it was obvious how much better that felt to me.

My feeling on Ghost Reveries was pretty meh for a while, but I gave it another listen a couple months ago and was surprised how much I liked it. Lopez sounded like he woke up behind the kit, and I really liked the addition of a full-time keyboard player. Great guitar work too. Blackwater Park will probably always be my favorite though.
