I would LOVE to see an upcoming band not have a logo like that...

just sayin 

yeah, I do agree with that. Even something like this (a 10 minute job on Pixlr)

The new Skeletonwitch is fucking awesome, check it out. 

Esoteric Doctrine..

The first song on the myspace = new york style old school death metal ala cannibal corpse.

The second song on the myspace = nu-metal singing bullshit.

The third song = deftones rip off song. Keep in mind I like the Deftones.

What is going on here? 

What is going on here?

Nothing.

BOUNCY BALLS!!! (they all came like straight down on top of him too :P) 

bouncy balls are metal as fuck 

That's a really cool picture.

Looks like it would have been a fun show. 

it was man, I wish I could figure out how to get that bass sound that he gets out of his kick drums on my set. I have yet to hear a band that can rival his kick drum sound without it sounding too triggery...

I think every metal head has heard that computer processed bass sound plenty o times. (behemoth) 

Well behemoth since he abandoned his microphones

They are great live. The new album is quite different as well.

Can't wait to catch them in London. 

The new Baroness album is the fuckin' tits! They're streaming the whole thing on their myspace, get it in:

Fuck Yeah turk!
This is what I like about the metal thread- once in awhile someone will post about something I'm completely unfamiliar with, and I will check it out and occasionally, like this morning, be immersed in great music listening.

Thanks for passing it on, and I will be buying this.
( I was sold on it already by the first 2:30 and kept finding more to like as I listened on ) 

just bought/preordered the new nile, immortal, and marduk along with ulver's "themes from william blake's the marriage of heaven and hell 

new nile and immortal are epic - ulvers 'marriage' is wierd! i remember listening to it all the time when we were studying that in university English class years ago! you'll love it.

time to get new marduk!

Definitely get the Red Album too (the last one they did), it's just as good, if not better. 

Ogeechee Hymnal is one of the shortest ones but I fucking love that song (with a nod to Orion).
Allrightythen, Red Album it is. I think I will be taking a ride to ze record store today! 

Listening to Slayer's "World Painted Blood" for the first time. An okay album, but nothing really stands out. Sort of "paint-by-numbers-Slayer". Has all the elements you'd expect from a Slayer album, and nothing else. The screeching solos from Hanneman and King, the evil/murder/blood/destruction vocals from Araya and great drumming from Lombardo. Not a bad album at all, but nothing great either. 

evil/murder/blood/destruction/shitty vocals from Araya

fixed 

Question of taste. I still like Araya, although he obviously isn't as good as he was in the 80s. 

That scream @ the beginning of Angel of Death was brutal. I used it as a sound sample for all kinds of stupid skits on tape that year

meh 

besides sabbath, mercyful fate and iron madien that list blew. 

what euro puke fagola put that list together? 

new slayer album is actually rather listenable. Really enjoying the whole old skool theme on a lot of the tracks

Yeah, I'm warming to it, too. Took me a few listens, though. Apart from the few songs I had heard earlier, there are a couple of real killer tracks there, namely Americon and Playing With Dolls - the latter of course being one of the least-metal-sounding song titles ever. 

I don't know if you guys have ever heard of a band called ANKLA before, but they are pretty fucking awesome. They are definitely a bit more mainstream and groove oriented than some of you guys might like. I think a really good way to describe them is hatebreed from puerto rico...they incorporate a lot of latin grooves and instruments into their style. I saw them live and they were 100% go the whole time, which is what I love from any metal band...they forced you to get into the show, even if you didn't want to. I vaguely remember the lead singer saying something about how if they were gonna have a mosh pit then they needed to do it right and then jumped off the stage into the middle of the pit and started kicking ass! One thing is for sure, it's hard not to nod your head.

or wait, better yet, think soulfly in their prime....

there ya go :D 

I dig it. 

So, that new Stryper disc is actually pretty good...

< . <

> . >

.... wat? 

Wait wait what? New Stryper?! 

Hey guys.....how do you like the new Creed? 

no one will ever beat PanterA. 

Certainly not Damageplan 

well there was this one fan... 

Anvil: The Story of Anvil

Great doc. See it. 

I didn't like too much of phils side projects either, but Down was pretty badass. I can tell you what I fucking hated, Hellyeah - the collaboration of Vinnie, mudvayne and nothingface. Those songs sounded like they were written and performed by neutered chihuahuas. 

I really liked Superjoint Ritual's first album. The second, not so much.

And Down's first two albums. The third, not so much. 

down sucks, bub. just stop it 

Anselmo projects suck because he's in them. 

NO YOU STOP

I liked that era of music. The Crowbar, Down sound. Eat dicks.

I know Anselmo is the biggest douchefuck ever in metal, but I don't care. I still like most of his music. 

No, the music is good. It's his vocals that bug me. 

what about when he was in Necrophagia?!?! 

Real metal includes Grand-father clock faces.
