Chromatic posted:Metallca posted a new song Absolutely nothing interesting going on here, the bulk of this is better off as that tried and true metal meme: The 30-second lead-in before a band does the "real" song. Their mixing also continues to be grating and somehow overdone while attempting to be "raw."

St. Anger is a concept album about James growing the gently caress up, and I can respect that. There are even perhaps 2-3 good songs on it, even with the horrible mixing. I don't really get why Death Magnetic is considered a "return to form" when there is nothing on it that sounds like or has much to do with their 80's or 90's stuff and the production value is terrible. This was the whisper campaign before they had even released it. "Metallica is making a Metallica album again!" It mostly sounds like a more developed St. Anger. Hot take: Kirk Hammett hasn't put together a good solo in 25 years.

I like Gloryhammer, Lich King (when I'm in the mood), and Havok (but only really Burn). Is there a fourth band for me?

Nordick posted:Well if you like Gloryhammer you might as well embrace the cheese further and listen to Alestorm. I actually don't like Alestorm. PS Sabaton for me is a band with one song I like per album. Tends to get repetitive. Same with Running Wild, outside of one or two albums.

Nordick posted:New Unleash the Archers is out. First impressions: It's really good, although no specific songs quite stand out yet. Some songs could maybe use some trimming. It's OK. Like all Archers albums it has perhaps 1-2 relatively strong tracks and the rest are just a formulaic blur.

Van Dis posted:The start of Havok's new album is so promising, but the lyrics completely ruin it. drat shame. Anyone got any recent thrash that doesn't come off as idiotically alt-right? I was pretty done with Havok when they became a Megadeth tribute band.

Snowy posted:I always wish these folk metal bands could somehow be metal without the guitars and distortion. I'd love to hear really heavy bands that are all traditional instruments- it's a little schticky to just do normal metal with a little traditional instrument in the background. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RX2gw0ffWG8 These guys' albums mostly do catchy medieval court tunes.

A human heart posted:They didn't go away in certain genres, punk and metal bands have been using tapes for demos since the 80s. It's pretty common in other genres like noise with a diy focus as well. The general point is that musicians releasing stuff on old formats (besides vinyl, probably) is a gimmick meant to establish cred with people who want to be part of an in-crowd.

Well first things first, lol Second thing, all of your music should be online at this point, and if you consider that an inconvenient format for selling at shows, well, consider also how loving stupid a tape is even next to that

It's actually still pretty awesome, and I think the first hard rock/metal album I ever bought. Even if you never bought this CD, almost every action movie for the next five years had it in their soundtrack. My favorite was End of Days literally just playing it over the OST.
