drat so I don't check the forums for a few days, and we have a brand new metal thread and a lot to catch up on. I'll get started listening to the rec's from this thread after I'm finished listening to loving Bilateral, this poo poo is amazing.

My first impression of that Jodeci logo was some sort of bastard child of Slaughter and Kreator. It sort of reminds me of Dark Angel the more I look at it.

I don't get it. I agree it sounds like an Alice in Chains record (even though I like Black Give Way to Blue better). What's with this "grower" business? If I don't like an album to begin with, it's usually just because I didn't think it wasn't very good to begin with. The album is a mediocre rock album. This whole "give it a chance because it's Mastodon" crap is pretty lame.

Finally had some time to listen to some new albums this morning. Opeth's Heritage was very boring. I even love all that off tempo prog stuff but this just didn't do it for me. I felt there were times when they could've (should've) gone heavy and held off just to be different from their norm. I think even non metal prog acts would've gone heavier. New Skeletonwitch was loving great, some good old thrash with some more melodic elements. I guess Mastodon's The Hunter actually is growing on me (contrary to my previous post). I think my new favorite rotation album is Hunters From Birth to Soil. http://www.frombirthtosoil.com/ This poo poo slays. They're streaming their whole album on their website. Check the tracks Grime Maiden and World Lament (although the whole albums is great.

Honestly as good as NIME is, I'm mostly partial to Somewhere Far Beyond and Imaginations. Some tracks I really just can't get enough of are Time What is Time, Somewhere Far Beyond, Imaginations, Born in a Mourning Hall, and Bright Eyes. They also have done some of my favorite cover songs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFu16w_DBY8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMTrm2wRoyc

RHTITE posted:Every single Metal scene ever has been largely fueled by competition. That's how the Slayers, Morbid Angels, Darkthrones, etc all became the trend setters in their eras and genres. They rose above their peers by making better music and being chosen by their scenes and the traders. That's why Slayer became the legends and Attitude Adjustment didn't. It's only natural to measure yourself up against others and try to exceed them, especially in a group setting filled with teenaged and young adult males. By "the Darkthrones" I'm assuming you're referring to the early norwegian black metal scene including Mayhem, Emperor, Burzum, etc. I'll agree that there was competition but it was hardly about making better music and was really so much about fighting the mainstream and trendsetters that, ironically, they became the trendsetters. edit: I think this is entirely relevant http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C0HX8d3SKzA Fiendish Dr. Wu fucked around with this message at 01:56 on Oct 16, 2011 |

I'm sure a majority of them would know enough about the business to do something else in it as well to make more money.

Turk February posted:"Djent" is a fictional sub-genre that somehow co-opted a lot of technical/progressive metal bands, but most of the bands who claim to be "djent" don't know how to write interesting song structures and just weedily-weedily-blooop their way through an album and that's about it. Djent is one of the dumbest things to happen to music. Wiki posted:The word "djent" is an onomatopoeia for a heavily palm-muted, distorted guitar chord. Hey everybody let's just rename each genre of music according to the onomatopoeia's of the type of sound they make. Personally, I think weedily-weedily-blooop would be a better term for that type of music.

IRQ posted:Really don't like the Nightwish singer being there, but otherwise it's pretty good. Same problem here as on Nightwish albums, she sounds like her vocals have been run through so many computers I can't tell what she actually sounds like or if she is an actual human and not a particularly hungry cat someone let into the studio. This is true about her vocals, but that's just how STS likes it. Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaEqQThg1_0 That same singer, Aleah, guested on the intro track http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0m0HMlmqMg and one other apparently. Anyways this new album is going to be great. Although, I did tab out of the video because it was pretty lame. I don't even know what was up with the yoga / interpretive dancers.

Funny story from last night at work. Some of the guys were on youtube looking up some manson and rob zombie music videos. "These dudes are evil as hell" on of them said. "Yeah, dude check out this band, GWAR. loving crazy." Then the other guy turned to me and was like "Hey man you listen to heavy metal, what's one of the sickest bands you know?" So I replied "type in Carving a Giant." It was awesome.

Also, their earlier album Hail Horror Hail is really good, it's a little more old school and British sounding - you can really hear their Venom influences on it. Sigh is always fun.

Oh man I came across those cover videos the other day and watched way too many of them. I'm not sure what's going on there but you'll see a lot of the musicians switch instruments in different videos, and as funny as most of the singers are there are actually some decent musicians. I think it's some sort of monthly cover band thing some studio does over in Japan or something.
