Not gonna lie. All this new stuff sounds exactly like the band that made Death Magnetic and Hardwired... to Self-Destruct to me.

you could have told me 72 seasons was a deep cut off of either of those albums and i'd have believed you

the only song off the new metallica album i like is the non-existent version of lux aeterna they plays at 1.25x speed - that song has good riffs, it's just too slow. the rest have been that sort of milquetoast mix of hard rock and thrash with the edges sanded off that's indicative of the last 15 years of metallica and i find 95% of it to be uninspired.

the only death album i never really liked was spiritual healing, its ok but the other albums are way, way better

this is the death album i never feel the pull to go back to other than thinking "man i never listen to spiritual healing"

on the eve of a new metallica album i'm going to post good metallica content

i've been working on learning disposable heroes on guitar and listened through the demo tapes tonight - their initial take on the song has the solo riff from damage inc in it and it's loving sick

i think every double album i've heard has at least a single album's worth of chaff on it

i don't like dethklok or babymetal all that much but i think it's cool they exist and will get people into metal

i am spinning up the new metallica instead of renting heat which is what i want to be doing with the next hour of my life at the moment

symbolic posted:

actually the greatest thrash album of all time is either Rust in Peace or By Inheritance

rust is top tier but dawn patrol is a slog to fill out 2 minutes which puts it below ride the lightning imo. solid second though.

i need to listen to more artillery.

AJFA has Blackened and Dyer's Eve.

That concludes my Ted Talk. Thank you all for coming.

these are the two highlight songs but ajfa has poo poo like the title track and frayed ends of sanity which drag out way too long

Speaking of musical appearances in Netflix shows, did anyone else get into kreator thanks to Dark?

i had no idea they played kreator on a netflix show but i'm probably going to spin up some old kreator this weekend now. mille petrozza is so good.

Escape is a slog to fill out 4 minutes and also get on MTV. pwnd.

the first three Artillery albums are a trifecta with By Inheritance being the crown jewel, absolutely insane tech thrash chops

escape is better than dawn patrol and leper messiah and my thoughts on this are part of the reason i think ride is the best thrash album ever

escape is also better than any of the tripe i've heard on 72 seasons so far christ

sounds like it's an artillery and kreator weekend for me

symbolic posted:

Forbidden Evil is pretty good but they kick it up a notch with Twisted into Form, imo

i could talk about tech thrash all day tbh lol that's pretty much my fallback genre when it comes to discovering new albums, that and tech death

always liked tech death more than tech thrash - death/cynic/atheist/etc were world-class songwriters. think cynic's focus is one of the best metal albums ever made.

think the last tech death album that grabbed me was cult of lilith - mara.

Southern Cassowary

well i listened to 72 seasons

i fully expected the entire album to be uninspired, lifeless thrash with the edges sanded off like the singles and i'd just make a shitpost and move on/talk about good music. metallica still had a decent thrash song in them seven years ago (the title track to hardwired is great) but i got 11 tracks into this one and i don't think they have it in them anymore. the attempts at energy are uninspired and they just sound old, in a way i feel like they didn't on death magnetic or hardwired.

then they swerved on me and inamorata is like, their 90s rock output viewed through the lens of stoner metal. the lyrics are dumb and repetitive but it's the most inspired and enjoyable songwriting on the album - the riffs are more interesting than the thrashier bits and it builds in a satisfying way that, if not as good as their classics, manages to evoke them. i kind of wish metallica had leaned into that inspiration rather than phoning in an attempt to recapture their youth. give me load mixed with sleep - it probably wouldn't be good but it would at least be interesting, which is a lot more than can be said for metallica's output the past two decades.

i'm going to go listen to good music now.

You should check out the Anachronism album from earlier this year.

this is great, thanks for the shout. always looking to hear this kind of dissonance done well and they did something cool by leaning a bit more into melody than i'd normally expect - gives some catharsis while listening.

Oh I forgot that it was that Wintersun sounding band, nice I'll hit that next

i thought atavistia's earlier material was fun in how shameless it was and perfectly competent, but didn't have much sticking power past that

cosmic warfare seems like it's actually really good and a step up in terms of their songwriting chops. pretty sure i'll like this more than whatever comes next from jari maenpaa, and i definitely like it more than forest seasons on first blush. i'm excited to give it multiple spins.

Giving this a listen today and it's like if the entire band only ever listened to wintersun and early dimmu borgir then crawled out of a basement from 2003

i ended up relistening to some wintersun stuff and thinking "yeah atavistia kind of leans on black metal-esque tremolo picking a lot more than jari" so early dimmu is a good shout

Friday so time for new poo poo

Lunar Chamber, progressive dm

this is a monster loving debut, holy poo poo. taking a lot of influence from cynic - fretless bass, synth work, prog feel - and some gorguts-esque dissonance and song structure with some doom metal to make it even weirder. one of those spins that starts out more straightforward then takes you on a fuckin journey.

title/final track rules

the final track, where they lean a little more into the doom/synth/chanting, is definitely the highlight of the ep, but i've also got to point out that the lead guitar work across the entire record is some of the craziest shred i've heard in a while.

i hope they end up putting out a full album

Crossposting from the cassettes thread

I'm a sucker for poo poo like this and I purchased four limited-edition Morbid Angel cassettes.

I also just picked up Formulas on vinyl yesterday. I know it's heresy but I think it's my favorite Morbid Angel album. So happy.

covenant being top right rather than blessed is more wrong than liking formulas

pandora loved giving me songs off of gateways to annihilation in the mid-2000s so that's my favorite mid-period morbid angel album by default. i haven't listened to them in forever for some reason though.

See, I know this, and I don't get what the wordplay is supposed to be. Phoenix Down, i.e. a little feather from a mythical bird known to revive after death. Always seemed straightforward enough.
