I dont recall seeing any discussion about the new Vader album that just came out. What do you guys think of it? I thought it was fairly average overall, probably on level with Necropolis. There are some definite stand out tracks like "I Am Who Feasts Upon Your Soul", "Come and See my Sacrifice", and the rerecording of "Decapitated Saints" is way beyond sweet. I've kinda been stuck listening to XXV for the last few months so maybe I'm just into their old songs at the moment.

I have no idea if this is where Cynic goes. But Cynic used to be metal and is still loving sweet and is releasing a new album. So far, they've released a preview here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qZyf9VHnME&sns=fb and the title track off the album http://www.season-of-mist.com/common/downloads/cynic/Cynic-Carbon-Based-Anatomy.mp3 Im liking what I hear.

Femme by Force posted:I listened to it earlier and was pleased with what I heard. They've taken their songwriting into a great direction. I had stopped thinking about Cynic until listening to Gorod's cover of "Textures". It's nice to know that they (Cynic) will be putting out more material. What I like about Cynic is that no matter how much different they are now from Focus, it still sounds like Cynic. Also I had no idea Gorod had covered Textures. This is great. Hammer Floyd posted:I'm curious as to what this'll do to Opeth's career. Heritage has recieved pretty mixed results and a lot of people aren't gonna be happy with their recent setlists. I think they've got enough of a heritage (hurrr) for it to not affect them that much...but still. I dont think it'll have much an impact. Opeth probably wont go back to their death metal roots but I cant see them churning out luke warm prog rock for more than one more album. If they do it again, hopefully it'll be a little more refined and cohesive. On a completely unrelated note: The new Insomnium album is absolutely loving fantastic. Definitely on par if not better than anything they've released to date in my opinion. I hope these guys stick around for a long time.

For anyone that is a fan of Angra or Angra's singer: Almah just released a new album. Havent had a chance to listen to the whole thing yet but its way more laid back than Fragile Equality from what I've heard, but still fantastic.

Also never heard of this band and I've been craving some fresh black metal so THANK YOU SIR. On the topic of Metallicas latest 'thing'. I couldnt even make it through one song. NOPE.

Was just thinking about how goddamned good the last half of 2011 has been for metal. New Warbringer, Skeletonwitch, Evile, Iced Earth, Insomnium, Animals as Leaders and Megadeth, and Cynic albums all within the span of a few weeks? Im sure theres more that I missed, but I cannot mentally process this much amazing metal. Speaking of the new Iced Earth, its really quite good. I havent seen it discussed yet but it sounds a hell of a lot like Demons and Wizards but without Hansi.

Ive been blasting some good death metal tapes lately and most recently the new Vallenfyre album. Im in the mood for some more stuff with that sick chainsaw guitar tone like you hear in Bloodbath and Vallenfyre. Any suggestions? Some goon many pages ago posted his band "Cult of Endtime" which also has this guitar tone and I loving love it. poo poo owns for lifting weights. Preferably in the same style, tempo, etc. but im not picky. Defiant Sally fucked around with this message at 06:33 on Nov 12, 2011 |

Awesome, thanks to both of you, all of this poo poo rules. I already loved Edge of Sanity though, if I ever see a Crimson III my head would probably explode. I knew that Bloodbath is a tribute to the old school death sound so, I just kinda used them as a reference point. My exposure to older swedish death is extremely small, so I really just had no idea who the gently caress to look for.

Vintersorg posted:Eh, the original is perfection -- this cover was unneeded. Yeah it would be impossible to top the original, especially with Chucks vocals, but I love seeing bands take GOOD stabs at old masterpieces. They've also covered How Could I? and I cant wait to hear that one. I am totally okay with my favorite bands covering other favorite bands.

Nordick posted:I was a bit surprised nobody mentioned Amon Amarth, but reading the last couple pages here I'd guess maybe they've gotten too "polished" for a lot of the posters here. I loving love them to bits though, Twilight of the Thunder God is one of the best albums I've heard in a goddamn lot of years. I think most peoples problems with Amon Amarth is that every album is the same as the last. They're too consistent, in a way. They never try anything new, though I dont have a problem with that myself since I actually enjoy what they do quite a bit.

Valk posted:EDIT: Also, best Insomnium album, go! They're all good, Across the Dark is my favorite, but their most recent is their weakest, in my opinion. Seriously though, all of their albums are worth listening to if you like Melodic Death Metal. They pretty much picked up where In Flames left off in 2000. Also if you want more melodeath check out The Absence, Amon Amarth, Be'lakor, Ensiferum (Iron) Defiant Sally fucked around with this message at 21:04 on Apr 25, 2012 |

Taco_Fury posted:Hell yeah on the Be'Lakor, pretty criminally underrated. As far as melodeath goes, Carcass' Heartwork is pretty mandatory. Definitely up there with Slaughter of the Soul as far as all the classics go. But it's a pretty big departure from Carcass' other work (not that any of their other albums sound similiar). Belakors new tape is sounds like its gonna be pretty wild if you haven't had a chance to listen yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPHJycgRLN8
