I feel like Voivod is a band I really should like by all quantifiable criteria, but somehow they've never yet clicked for me. One of these years...

I mostly only listen to Voivod's first album, but it's definitely an all-time favorite. Also here's more primitive 80s Canadian thrash

than another footnote on a postcard from nowhere,
another chapter in the handbook for exercises in futility
Angel Rat and the s/t are less "demanding" albums, if you want to travel that Voivod route. They're borderline alternative rock, though. I dig 'em.

Of course with the exception of "The Prow" from Angel Rat, you won't hear much in this style at their show.

On another note, there is somehow a Cold Meat Industry tribute album featuring death metal bands coming out via Iron Bonehead/NWN.

Sinistrous Diabolus - Sacrifice (Aghast)
Spire - Death, Just Only Death... (In Slaughter Natives)
Temple Nightside - Winds of a Lost Soul (Arcana)
Grave Upheaval - Necrose Evangelicum (Brighter Death Now)
Antediluvian - Sephiroth (Raison d'être)
Vassafor - Infernal Afairs II Doom Legion Ultra (MZ.412)

woah thats one heckuva lineup, all those bands are badass, except possibly spire, who i've never heard, but I assume must be good, because the rest of the bands are fuckin incredible.

One of the best parts of Google Music is putting it on random and getting a real gem.

SIG:AR:TYR - Northern

http://sigartyr.bandcamp.com/

It's vikingy ( in theme, if nothing else ), blackish metal with this fantastic guitar tone, rolling riffs, killer solos, great vocals, and even these great classical guitar sections.

A+ would recommend, no merch though other than a CD. :(

[edit] It's from Canada :canada:

Spire are pretty good but they're released like two EPs and nothing else so it's a bit hard to say much about them.

The ship is now armed and preparing to explode. This will be a fairly large explosion, so you'd best keep back about 22 miles.

Faffel posted:

Also Voivod are coming here in two weeks. Should I start trying to enjoy them?

I can't really speak too much to Voivod but if this happens to be on the tour with King Parrot, definitely still consider that show. KP is a bunch of great dudes with big hearts for the music they play, so even if Voivod lets you down, a good show awaits. I've seen them three times now and unfortunately this tour isn't bringing them back around my way, or it'd be the fourth.

It should be mentioned that King Parrot's actual music isn't that great but they are batshit insane on stage.

Much as I love the dudes, I gotta agree. They have a couple songs that find some good grooves, but they're a show-and-crowd-first kinda band. Definitely take that into account, but I think the overall show plus their set would be 100% worth ticket price.

You might enjoy Saturnus' "Paradise Belongs to You"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tByANvvhgAs

It is not so much a love letter to Pink Floyd like Wildhoney is, but it is full of that gothic'y doom metal.

It is also just a good album.

Thinking of road tripping it to Atlanta since they play on 8/3 and the Periphery tour with Sikth is playing at the same venue on 8/5, might be worth it

It's like $19.50. A band like Voivod alone would make it worth it. I'm gonna go if only to support more badass bands like that coming to Victoria.

After seeing them on the Decibel Tour earlier this year, the Chance comparisons are going to be inevitable, but Adam is pretty much holding his own. The 2 new tracks I've were blistering.

I was SUPER impressed by these guys when I saw them a few years ago with Amon Amarth. Too bad the singer got kicked out/quit.

Is there a remote possibility of Alkaloid touring in the US any time soon? Malkuth Grimiore was probably my favorite album of last year.
