Just when I believed that I had heard even combination of death metal to come out of Sweden I stumble across, Necrovation. Their new S/T release is already out in Europe, but it's getting a US release next week. It's like equal parts Darkthrone / Entombed / Repugnant in a blackened doom bundle. Good stuff! Necrovation's Sepulchreal

Groke posted:I've been a metalhead since 1988 (I am old) and randomly stumbled across Bathory when a friend lent me Blood Fire Death in 1989. Still one of the best albums ever. Try to imagine what it was like for a high-school kid to come across that thing back then, just try. As another old metalhead, I find myself doing this regularly. Imagine stumbling across a gem like this when all that is being played on the radio or MTV is New Kids on the Block or Janet Jackson.

I've dipped my toe in BTBAM and am an avid Isis fan, so something around those five bands (Faceless, Ocean, Neurosis, Isis, BTBAM) would be what I'm after. Cult of Luna or even some of Jesu's catalog may float your boat if you're that avid a fan of Isis (R.I.P.).

SilverSmoke posted:Very amusing Watain interview but I really have problems believing this guy is for real.. I think it's gently caress'in hilarious! It's not so much that Erik takes himself so very serious, but rather the fact that the media hangs on and over analyzes every word he says. Who gives a poo poo what type of toppings he orders on his pizza? He's playing most of interviewers for pure fools to their faces and they don't even have enough common sense to know it. Honestly, I think he's more offended to the fact that the band covering themselves in blood makes more of an impact on an audience than the great musical craftsmanship of the songs. I'd be sarcastic too if I had to do 40+ interviews a day and the first thing each one of them asked was, "Duurrrrr, what does the blood mean?" I mean, he's an artist. A great graphic artist as well! What's the point if you have to explain every single thing you do.

I'd like to recommend a band to the metal thread that I just don't hear getting mentioned nearly enough. It's New York's Natur. They're yet another retro old metal act that tips their hats to classic metal similar to Angel Witch and Mercyful Fate in the same vein as modern acts Ghost, Portrait or Christian Mistress. I'm not so sure that they will blow up as big without the exposure, but they did play Fenriz's Live Evil festival. Well, their first full length, Head of Death, came out on Earache Records back in June and I've really been enjoying it with repeat listens. If you like your metal like it was ripped straight out of 1982, check this out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJaLDlTsC2s

While Nemesis Divina would be considered their landmark album, I enjoy the black 'n roll of later Satyricon as well. If you like Now, Diabolical you should enjoy Volcano as well.

I've heard I, and Chrome Division, and like both of those as well. Be sure to check out Byfrost's album, Black Earth. It's more traditional thrash than black 'n roll, but pure quality Immortal worship. Some of the better black 'n roll I've come across lately is Chapel's album that came out back in August, Satan's Rock 'n' Roll. rxcowboy posted:I've been on a thrash kick, listening to Toxic Holocaust, Warbringer, Vader, and Havoc lately.

Posted from Joel Grind's blog today... Joel Grind "The YELLOWGOAT Sessions" to be released Tuesday January 15, 2013 digitally with a 12" LP to follow in late February or early March. YELLOWGOAT Recorded as sort of a return to form of the demo era of Toxic Holocaust (Critical Mass in particular). Raw, stripped down, reverbed and distorted to hell. I decided to not call this a Toxic Holocaust record for a few reasons. The main one being Toxic has sort of morphed from being a solo project to now being a full band. That's not saying you wont see other "solo" Toxic material, but for right now it's definitely a solid band. Also, this record is definitely less Thrash and more dirty Rock n Roll and finally I didn't want to just slap the Toxic name on it to sell it. I recorded this because I was anxious to record something like this again with out over thinking it. Recorded in two days in a rehearsal room. All instruments by Joel Grind. 01 Ascension (Intro) 02 Hell's Master of Hell 03 Vengeance Spell 04 Foul Spirit Within 05 Cross Damnation 06 Grave Encounters 07 Black Order 08 The Eternal One 09 Hail to Cruelty 10 Descension (Outro) Hell yeah!!!

Misogynist posted:I really want to like this, but the guitar playing is borderline incompetent. I get that the original Mercyful Fate recordings had their own problems and suffered from some pretty bad recordings of most of the instrumental harmonies, but these are some of the worst and most un-confident leads I've heard in a really long time. I really cannot believe that we are hearing the same music!?!?! Are you sure that your speakers are working properly?

Stolen Babies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVLLQEM9-Ew) also produces some good stuff. I enjoyed Pandora's Piρata, but I'm kind of reluctant to try out this band Stolen Babies I keep hearing mentioned lately. Are they not opening for Coal Chamber on this recently contrived reunion effort?!?! I understood that there may be some musical ties to Sleepytime Gorilla Museum. A band I've thoroughly enjoyed in the past for their experimental rock/metal-ism. In a similar vein, fans of the "avant-garde" may also enjoy the blackened prog-rock psychedelia of the greek band, Hail Spirit Noir. I just wish we could load Iwrestledaboaronce and Mindless Self Indulgence both into a rocket, shoot them into space and pretend that they never happened.

Last night I came across a list that Metal Injection recently published as the Top 10 Most Influential Heavy Metal Albums of All Time. While most of the time, I dismiss these "lists" as completely subjective, I think that this one seems to be pretty accurate to me. 1. Black Sabbath's Black Sabbath 2. Iron Maiden's Number of the Beast 3. Metallica's Ride The Lightining 4. Venom's Black Metal 5. Death's Scream Bloody Gore 6. Pantera's Cowboys From Hell 7. Slayer's Reign In Blood 8. At The Gates's Slaughter of the Soul 9. Meshuggah's Destroy Erase Improve 10. Dream Theater's Images and Words (Really?) Agree / Disagree / Discuss
