Yeah, it's not my favorite NC venue either but drat, if Skeletonwitch isn't worth it. For $13 bones too?!?! They're also the most approachable and down to earth guys in metal. Me and my buddy tried to buy them a round of brews in Raleigh last time and they we like, "Hell no brother, save your money and come drink OUR beer!" Talked to them for a good bit before their set. Real friendly cats. I also had to have this...

I apologize for any past negativity towards French Canadians in my life and will from now on stand up for your good name. Keep it coming. I would make no such claim. It's going to take a whole hell of a lot of metal to make up for infecting the rest of the world with likes of Nickleback.

co199 posted:I hadn't heard Jungle Rot before and after looking into Kill On Command, I guess they're "old school" death metal? What are some other bands that have that groove / hardcore sound to them? As far as the traditional "old school" death metal groove goes, the new Asphyx album Deathhammer fits that mold pretty well and is really great. Something a little less know is the new Fungus Inc. album,Gettin Drunk and Spreadin Spunk, if you can get past all the silly lyrics. I'm still enjoying a recent new demo from a US band Vastum called, Carnal Law. It's a great tribute to classic death metal. Then there is still yet, ...Bolt Thrower!

When they said that they pretty much ditched the material proposed for a follow up to 2005's Those Once Loyal, feeling it would not live up to what they considered to be their best material, I could neither disagree or accept the statement. It has taken me years to come to terms with this.

Granted, I don't like Blake right now because I paypalled him $20 for a couple CDs and he never sent them and won't return my e-mails now Hey, maybe you'll be mentioned as a co-producer on the next album that drops in July? Wasn't it on here that someone posted that they had tried to buy a T-shirt on one of the last Nachtmystium tours and the guys said that they had forgotten to order shirts before the tour started or they had spent all the funds on drugs. Man, that's pretty rock n' roll. With that said, I can't wait for some new Nachtmystium. The new single that is suppose to come out this month is going to have a cover version of Joy Division's "The Eternal", w/ Chris Connelly on vocals.

Actually, before they were called Type O Negative the guys got "Subzero" tattoos until they realized there was already a band called Subzero. So they have had to change their band name to Type O Negative to fit their matching tattoos. Don't get a band tattoo. It never ends well.

I still like to crank Unhallowed from time to time. I mean, The Blackest Incarnation? That shits just evil! To answer your question on similar material, there is always At The Gates' Slaughter of the Soul or Arsis' A Celebration of Guilt or even some early In Flames like The Jester Race thru Clayman for shifting melodies.

MrBling posted:Desaster are still around? I thought they had disappeared around five years ago. The German black metal band? I get the impression that Desaster are lot like Inquisition (Columbia now US?). They've both been around for a while but really haven't released anything innovative or fresh in years. So does this new Desaster break that mold? Speaking of which, has anyone else heard more than one track from the new Cattle Decapitation album, Monolith of Humanity? I was lucky enough to get my hands on a promo copy of the album and I must say, it's pretty drat outstanding. I mean, I've kinda caught glimpses of greatness on their last few releases that caught my attention, but this one really caught me off-guard. It's a blend of death/grind/gore/tech that fits without coming across as super pretentious or just plain out contrived. It's got lots of tempo changes and well produced. Travis Ryans vocals are... well, kind of un-human. At first I didn't know if I liked all the screeching/singing vocals he does in contrast with deep growls, but upon repeat listens, I think it actually fits. Almost makes you skin freaking crawl. I'd also like to thank Rob Arnold and Kevin Talley for bringing Six Feet Under back to being a relevant death metal band again for the first time since 1999's Maximum Violence. Thank you!

This isn't a bad thing, but it's not gonna separate you from THAT very large pack.

nomapple posted:Noted. Watch it! It's loving awesome! Not a region free DVD, but still awesome never the less. QPZIL posted:Any of your brothers going to the Decibel show in Charlotte NC tomorrow? I can't get any of my friends to go see Watain with me. Something about animal parts bugs them out. All of gawd's fury could not keep me from this show. From what I understand, some of the venues on this tour have asked the bands to refrain from some of the details they are known for. The Devil's Blood covering themselves in blood and candles on stage. Watain's pig heads, animal parts/blood and some of their fire effects (torches, candles, etc.) Everything I've read though has lead me to believe that it's pretty much up to the individual venue, not the artists. So, if your attending this tour at a relatively small venue, some or all of the usual stage trimmings may be missing. I don't expect this to detract from my overall experience THAT much. Particularly Watain! OnlyJuanMon posted:Watain was a huge dissapointment. I was expecting horrible smells and blood and animal corpses. What I saw was 4 balding men in black metal make-up playing basically diet Behemoth songs, slightly headbanging, in front of 2 (count em 2!) goat skulls on poles. Hey! Maybe Five Fingered Death Punch is coming to your area soon. Enjoy!

Drifter287 posted:The HAY GUYS, TITS! stuff is pretty embarrassing, but the music is pretty solid old school heavy metal with some modern flair and the vocals are killer. I'm still on the fence about this band. I really liked their EP, Off With Her Head, that they initially released a few years back and had been looking forward to their first full length ever since. I feel like their music has some great potential. It just doesn't have the hooks that some other similar bands may. Maybe their next album. I also like Jill's vocals until she tries to pull off that harsh raspy banshee forced scream poo poo. Makes my skin crawl. Still yet, great tits trumps all the other stuff. Call me shallow or whatever, but I'm still a man god dammit and tits sell! If I want nice female vocals and great music, I'd listen to the new Christian Mistress album.

Bah! I knew Baroness was destined for greatness when I saw one of them was sporting an Immortal T-shirt while hanging out in front of the venue before their gig with Deftones. Actually, been a fan since their EPs. It's been really fun to watch this band mature and grow into a rock power house.

I've never really understood the great appeal of "moshing". I mean, it wasn't even really a metal thing to begin with. Why it has ever gone beyond the original hardcore punk scene surprises me? I can see bands on stage getting a rise out of it seeing a whirlpool fans just reacting to their performance, but as a fan, what in the hell makes you want to roll around with a bunch of sweaty dudes? Hardcore dancing? It's lame and you look like a gay power ranger doing it. You say that you've got all this pent up negative energy you need to release? Get laid or go run around the block 5 times. Most of the meatheads I've seen "moshing" at shows don't look like they would even know who's playing on the stage. They're just there to get their "mosh" on. Maybe it just proves to be a good opportunity to grope other sweaty guys.

Houseplant posted:Pretty much this. I find it more annoying than anything else when I am watching a perfectly good show and some fat sweaty corpse-painted man runs into me at full speed. Besides the fact that I'm not built for that, it is a huge distraction from the reason I am there: the band on the stage. I know I'm boring, but it is pretty interesting seeing that there are people from both camps in this thread. Sorry. My intention was not to come across as a homophobic rear end in a top hat. I think that I'm just getting old.

RationalTangle posted:It got me wondering: Does anybody know of any metal groups with a similar dark/bleak science fiction theme to their music? My apologies if a similar question has been answered earlier in the thread, I've been reading it off and on for a couple months and might have missed it. While I believe just about the entire group has just about turned over now, Planetary Duality from The Faceless fits that science fiction / horror tech death theme. It will be interesting to see how the new members change their sound from here on out. I haven't heard any of their new material. Seconding Vektor and Voivod sci-fi theme with progressive thrash. On a different note, has anyone else been following the development of the new Dying Fetus album, Reign Supreme? The samples I've heard sound insanely good!

That Yellowgoat clip kinda reminds me of what I love about Children of Technology, Bunker 66, Dishammer, Bastardator and even some elements of Carnivore, Hellhammer and newer Darkthrone. Particularly Dishammer's Vintage Addiction. It's like the bastard child of Discharge and Hellhammer.

Instead of just being a backdrop to the riffs, they really infuse the orchestra parts into their music. Communion is a beast of an album. Seen them a couple of times live and they pull it off pretty well live too.

The new Nile album, At The Gates of Sethu, has leaked. It's everything I hoped it would be - and more! I've only listened to it once, but it may very well rival Annihilation of the Wicked as their best offering to date. They've somehow managed to be a little different and make it fresh while still firmly remaining Nile.

nomapple posted:Biggest surprises Shining, Kvarforth was on form, he looked angry, swigging whiskey from the bottle and spitting it out, and generally being really engaging. Their music also had more punch to it than I remembered it having. I missed half their set to get a good spot for Yob, but I really enjoyed what I saw. Hearing this and the addition of Euge Valovirta on guitar and Rainer Tuomikanto on drums makes me think Shining is on the verge of true greatness. I can't wait till they get all their visa issues settled and what not to do a proper US tour. Seems like every great touring opportunity they get (Behemoth, Watain, etc.) falls through for them.

Than Skeletonwitch a day after Maiden!! It seems that Voivod just followed suit with about 1/2 the other bands and dropped off the Shockwave tour. It's a shame I suppose. Although the Fear Factory album is kinda meh, the new Cattle Decapitation is in the running with me for aoty. Maybe they'll still do a proper US headlining tour this fall.

I may be a bit late to the game, but I gave the new Hail Spirit Noir album, Pneuma a spin. I believe it came out back in March? It's like black metal from the 60's. The organ's sound so drat creepy. I have to agree with the reviews I've read so far, It's the three way love child of The Doors, Ghost and Akercocke. One of the more original releases of the year thus far.
