I'd buy the cassette tapes to support the band directly and download the mp3's / listen on Spotify (if they're on there)

i don't mean to be snippy but really babymetal is so overdiscussed, and word of mouth is exactly what gets them popularity whether it's positive or negative discussion. best to just avoid talking about them because what's the point?

I have heard of band-who-must-not-be-named and can agree that you-know-who is indeed terrible

Nowadays the music is so ephemeral that it almost seems disposable. Sometimes I'll listen to an album once and then never again -- and from bands I like! It's weird.

That's the problem with saturation.

It's absolutely true that the sheer amount of different music that is readily available these days has the downside of saturation. Even still, at any given time there are usually a few albums I'm fixed on listening to repeatedly. The better the album the larger a chunk of my weekly listening it will take, and the slower it'll fade out from rotation, but eventually everything will drop into "reserve" so to speak, to be replaced with other new discoveries. Then of course there are the permanent favourites that I will keep going back to time and again.

This is probably true for a lot of us here. I'll sometimes spend a few hours going through youtube links, or spotify related artists, trying to find new stuff that I like and I very rarely have much luck with it. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff out there, but there's something about the core group of bands in their respective genre. So, I end up listening to the same stuff on heavy rotation, with an occasional new album every once in a while.

New Amon Amarth video out, for At Dawn's First Light. It's a bit bloody.

Not sure what I think, First Kill is a much stronger track.

First Kill might be a stronger track but drat this song is good. Love the lead. The music video is great too. I bet they had tons of fun making it. They just keep on making good stuff.

What's great also is that, even with their rise in popularity, they're not changing what they do.

I think I like it even more than first kill tbh. Don't get me wrong first kill is great, but this one is completely different to anything they've done before, it's very iron maiden-y in a good way.

New sylosis single is rad as gently caress by the way, check it out:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QAcUws7BP8

Saw them play it live on saturday and it was the tits. They were filming for the music video there as well so I'm hoping I'll be able to find myself in it when it's out!

I know right. Love the Maiden vibe going on. I hope there's more of it on the new album.

That Sylosis was good. Will have to add it to my workout playlist.

I'm sure it's been discussed at some point in this thread and I've gone back about 15 pages and can't see anything - I keep forgetting there's a metal thread here damnit, but omg the latest Amorphis album 'Under The Red Cloud' is incredible, easily my favourite from the last few years.

I travelled a lot of miles around the country and saw them twice on tour last week, exhausting but worth every second. I wish I had a current passport and serious cash to keep following them around Europe. Still on a serious post-gig high and can't. stop. listening.

Yeah I think I liked it a lot on first listen just because it's Doro.

As for vocals / lyrics, Hegg's vocals have more range in this album, but that also means I can understand the lyrics more which isn't always good.

EDIT: Also I actually have a vague memory of some youtube retards trying to lump it under "pirate metal". You know, because of the vague nautical theme and I guess because Johansson sounds a bit raspy or something? loving lol anyway.

While I agree that arguing over metal sub genres is silly, I have recommended them to others looking for" more pirate metal"and gotten good feedback. Also he does sound like a real life pirate and I'm not convinced he isn't.

I think I might like Gamma Ray more than Blind Guardian when it comes to Power Metal.

I know Blind Guardian are meant to be THE definition of amazing Power Metal (which is fair), but there's something about the ridiculousness of Gamma Ray that appeals to me more.

As much as I love BG, I also can't get enough GR. They're also just so goddamn fun. Also Edguy.

Last year was pretty extraordinary for me, as both BG and Nightwish released new albums and neither one made it to my "best of 2015" list. I really tried to like BtRM but I just couldn't get a grip on it. Trying to think back to it now, I can't remember a single goddamn thing from it. :(

I actually like it a whole lot. It's like listening to a movie, or am epic fantasy novel.

This was my feel on Nightfall, which was a much better album. (I get that most bands can't do that twice.)

Well I mean yeah obviously NiME is a much better album, but still I don't get all the hate for BtRM. Although it's not as good as NiME, At the Edge of Time, Somewhere Far Beyond, it's not as bad as A Twist in the Myth.

I think it's a really solid album.

I haven't seen much talk about Ihsahn's new one Arktis, which is pretty drat good. It's been on heavy rotation alongside Haken's Affinity ever since they both hit spotify.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ_ak5pGQjs

edit: gently caress I just discovered the instrumental Affinity is on spotify. It's weird hearing it without vocals, but you can hear the intricacies of all the instruments that are woven throughout. I have a whole new appreciation for this album. Listening to the last half of the instrumental 1985 is practically like listening to the Rocky IV training montage.
