http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PimgcBIc90I Preview snippets from the new Opeth album. I'm...really hesitant about this one. A couple of those tracks sound okay, but the rest are pretty meh. Hopefully these poor quality samples aren't indicative of the whole album.

Rion.exe posted:Could anyone recommend where I should start digging for getting into thrash? I've been listening to Toxic Holocaust and Skeletonwitch and would like to find more like this. As these suggest, I dig the blackened thrash thing, and anything that has the same kind of rock the gently caress out feel to it like the newer Darkthrone releases, Kvelertak, etc. Aura Noir are pretty cool. Hexen is pretty awesome, they might be right up your alley. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qz5tTA0LE5I

David Fricke of Rolling Stone heard at least two of the songs from the project in June 2011—"Pumping Blood" and "Mistress Dread"—and described their sound as a "raging union of [Reed's] 1973 noir classic, Berlin, and Metallica's '86 crusher, Master of Puppets."[9]

Aww poo poo yes it's coming to Richmond. My band actually opened for Deafheaven the last time they came to RVA, so I can verify that they own as well.

The metal band I'm in just signed with Grimoire Records in Baltimore and our debut album is coming out in a couple of weeks. You can listen to the first track here: http://grimoirerecords.bandcamp.com/album/americanus We're proggy death, sort of like Mastodon with harsher vocals.

Something for everyone - there's Maiden-esque thrashing all over 'DeSoto' and the second half of 'Glacial Relic II' is full-on Baroness worship. http://www.nocleansinging.com/2015/06/25/an-ncs-album-premiere-bearstorm-americanus/

Scrambles posted:saw Vattnet Viskar yesterday and their bassist was wearing a sleeveless Ghost shirt We just opened for those guys a couple weeks ago and I was blown the gently caress away. Way better than the headliner (The Atlas Moth), who aren't my cup of tea. Their bassist wore an X-Files T-shirt and was super friendly

Henchman of Santa posted:I highly recommend listening to the new Dream Theater album while reading about the songs on the website. I have never laughed this hard at music before. The story is so ridiculous, but the music is so bland. I think I actually preferred having twenty-minute long songs about Tuscany and Portnoy's absurd growl vocals to this.

Vulture Culture posted:guys, this wine got an 88% on Wine Spectator wink wink I listened to most of the first disc of the new Dream Theater album on my lunch break. The only song that stuck out for me was Lord Naferyus (lol) because it sounded like a literal Disney villain's song. Everything just sort of has the same 'piano/strings - narration over clean riffs - chugga chugga - solo - string outro' structure, to the point where all the songs are basically interchangable. And that page explaining the songs is just unforgivably bad. It reads like the summary of a dystopian YA novel written by a 12-year old. DT has somehow become the most embarrassing band I liked when I was a teenager, even with Anselmo being a literal Nazi

Yeah, the way we handle racism in this country is weird. You can be racist as gently caress for years and years and no one cares, you just can't be openly racist. Like that rich fucker who lost his basketball team: he was racist as hell when it came to his tenants in the apartment complexes he owned, his hiring decisions, the way he treated players, etc. No one didn't know that guy was a racist. But nobody cared - what got him in trouble was saying racist things out loud when being recorded. This isn't really a discussion for the metal thread though.

Henchman of Santa posted:Phil also has a lot of connections within the metal world due to both his past work and his production stuff. If you're a metal-specific journalist ripping him could piss off a lot of bands. Yeah, dude has a lot of friends in the metal community and ties with a bunch of different labels, most of whom would probably side with him over some random journalist. If someone was writing about this and didn't have a video to back it up, I have no doubt their career the metal industry would be toast.

A TURGID FATSO posted:There are tons of first-and-second handed accounts of him portraying his racial allegiances in the past during multiple live performances across the world. If it were only one or two people saying those things, then, yeah, I'd meet it with skepticism, too, but there are dozens of stories like this. It is only now that we have audio and video proof at our fingertips... This is kind of what I was saying, though. Nobody gave a poo poo that Anselmo was racist until he was caught on camera being racist.

If anybody's going to be in RVA tonight, my band Bearstorm is opening for goddamn ABSU on the first night of their tour. Come up to me and say something goony and I'll give you a CD or a shirt or whatever, I'm the dude in glasses and an Opeth shirt.

I had never seen them live before - does Proscriptor usually come out from behind the drum set, or is that new? Because they got some other guy to drum and he was upfront the entire second half of that set. Dude has an insanely commanding stage presence, btw - doing all sorts of occult signs and poo poo in the middle of songs. At one point during Stone of Destiny he just stood there and glared at the audience for like forty seconds and it was incredibly intense.

That sucks about Absu. Anecdotal, but when my lovely death metal band opened for them a few years ago, their guitarist was the only one who actually acknowledged the opening bands existed and was friendly to them. If they have broken up, I'm glad I got to see them at least once.

They're named after an item in Bloodborne that opens up a hellish labyrinth full of mutated monsters. And some of their songs ("Abysswalker", "Clockwise Metamorphosis") are named after poo poo from those games. Still the least cringy video game-themed band by a country mile, though.

remigious posted:I won’t keep y’all in suspense, it’s Nemo How dare you ruin this derail before we could all get our jokes in. Nemo's a fine name, although I assume 99% of people think you named your kid after the Disney fish. Marko's press release is kinda rambly, but you can feel the frustration with 2020 running through it. I'm assuming a lot of musicians are at the breaking point right now, especially with it looking like big live music isn't coming back in 2021. I hope he gets the help he needs; he's always been one of the most fun parts of Nightwish.

Nanowar is apparently switching from being a cheesy power metal parody band to being a cheesy pop band? I'm not sure; this could legitimately be a bit I don't understand. https://www.nanowar.it/nanowar-changes/
