I've been on a prog rock kick the last few month, have there been any decent metal releases in the last few weeks? And what did people think of the latest Deceased album? Last new metal albums I bought were the latest Argus and Necros Christos if that helps influence suggestions.

Gr31lly posted:New Deceased is great. Pretty much the flipside of As the Weird Travel On... in that it's death/thrash with heavy metal influences, and it's still got that oldschool heavy metal guitar tone going through all the riffs. Morbus Chron and the Vanhelgd were both releases I meant to pick up and forgot, thanks for the mention! New Satan's Host sounded cool, shame Jag Panzer are no more though.  That new Autopsy was pretty drat solid, a slow burner though as the first few tracks weren't that interesting until a few listens. The description of the new Deceased is boner inducing! Not sure if anyone cares, but the new Anubis Gate is also out soon.

Gr31lly posted:Oh and if anyone wants an album that's modern, but very much heavy/speed/power metal then look no further than the new Portrait. Played it on the train today after having a few months between listens, enjoyed it way more than I initially did. Still better than the first IMO. Vocalist was trying to be KD way too hard. Dyscrasia posted:Goddamn, I am loving some Riot. Thanks for pointing them out. You're welcome. Still one of the better bands from the USA. Album is amazing, each time I listen to it it's like the first time.

Just had another listen to the 2007 Moonspell release where they redid their old EPs. Man, that is some really good material. If you're not sure what it sounds like, it has a similar vibe to early-mid Samael, Triarchy-current era Rotting Christ, and of course their own Lusitanian thing. MrBling, is that Morbus Chron album you mentioned any good? het, the logo looks so damned familiar, but as mentioned it may just be a generic logo, but it's doubtful as the rest of the logos are directly influenced by bands.

Today I am going to talk to you about a band from Australia.   Innsmouth If you can't guess what the inspiration for this band is, I am shocked that you haven't been introduced to Lovecraft via your love of metal. These guys dig Lovecraft. They have a demo (The Departure of Shub Niggurath) and 7" (She-Goat) and they're both great. Musically, they can be described as atmospheric doomed-up death metal with the Australian flavour of Armoured Angel and Cauldron Black Ram. When they played a show here in Melbourne it was one of the best I'd ever been to, they nearly caved the floor in. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-vsEHy8jio http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvjqxrZM64A And now to go across the Pacific and towards California, to where Witchaven are located. When I'm in the mood for some well played blackened thrash metal, this inevitably finds its way into my playlist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux5fQqA76gM Reminds me of watching Headbangers Ball a long time ago. I rewind the song just for the toms. Something about the drum sound on this album really works. The album is really good. fappenmeister fucked around with this message at 07:53 on Jan 24, 2012 |

Have any of you heard the latest Zemial and Agatus EPs? And thanks to the person mentioning Hail of Bullets to someone earlier, not sure how that one slipped through the cracks. New Pharaoh is dropping sometime soon, http://cruzdelsurmusic.bandcamp.com/album/bury-the-light is a streaming track off it. This label has some totally excellent bands in their roster if you've not heard of them before.

Lord Purple posted:I've discovered Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol recently. It is a shame they didn't get more attention when they were pumping out classic albums. Any recommendations for other mid-80s non-thrash metal that was underrated? They may not be underrated today, or even then, but here goes. Sacred Rite I love this song, pops into my head on a regular basis. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdLqXksiQx8 The chorus rules. Do you like Queensryche and Savatage? Yes?

Sacred Blade - Of the Sun + Moon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZSFduNKzHs&feature=related Liege Lord http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tk9vTE4ecLY Chateaux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rwc2ogFksDQ Savage Grace http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GI1SU-dZF3E S.A Slayer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPi0Lon8Tv4 loving killer! Shok Paris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdyZkCC457w Not all of these bands are the MOST AMAZING stuff ever, but they're pretty loving solid for the most part. Also of note, the majority of this stuff is from the USA or Canada, I haven't listed any European stuff yet with the exception of Heaven's Gate and Chateaux who are from the UK. I might dedicate a post to cool European metal later.

I prefer older death metal stylings (Autopsy, Death, Swedish DM), because that's what I got into growing up, or appeals more due to the rawness and no-frills attitude. It could be a case of "get off my lawn" because it seems "younger" people tend to enjoy tech death more from personal experience. Tech death usually equates to that plastic sounding perfect engineering job which I can't stand most of the time. No person in their right mind would or can deny the musicianship of bands like Obscura, but it gets in the way of a good tune. Don't get me wrong, there are times where I want to hear musicians wank about, but prefer to listen to progressive rock or metal for that, or Atheist.

The Clit Avoider posted:I've been listening to the new Avenger album, as well as the compilation they've released celebrating their 20 years of existence and it's served as a timely reminder of how amazingly good they are. Czech death/black. You're the only other person ever to mention Avenger in a long time. Guys, this band is excellent, do yourself a favour and check them out. Czech bands sound more evil due to their native language, sounds so vicious and full of bile when growled. My favourite is probably Godless, but Fall of Devotion, Wrath and Blasphemy is superb too. fappenmeister fucked around with this message at 00:56 on Mar 12, 2012 |

Trees and Squids posted:Diablo Swing Orchestra released a new song. I love these guys, though if you haven't heard of them you should know what you're getting yourself into. It's metal (kinda barely) with a fairly legitimate opera singer and compositions with really heavy swing-jazz influence with lots of cello and brass and stuff. Everyone has different taste, but I imagine this band may cater for some who are too metal to admit they like outside genres. The music is quite good, but I'd prefer the pure swing tunes.
