Confirming that both the new Iced Earth and Astral Doors albums are fantastic. Good to see both of these bands catching themselves after some mediocre albums.

Machine Head, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Black Label Society (I guess..), Devin Townsend Project, Hatebreed, Gojira, Turisas. Not an amazing lineup by any means but I'd go see it, mainly for Lamb of God and Mastodon. Sounds like enough bands for a dedicated metal stage like last year, shame the headliners completely suck though. Turisas is good fun as well.

Turisas is a lot of fun. They may not make the most engaging music out there, but drat do they put on a good show.

No one when I wore it to a bar on Saturday and no one yesterday at work. The closest guesses I got were The Crow by two girls and another girl who said her brother watched Metalocalypse. The rest of the reactions were about it being scary looking. It fits in with the Halloween theme better than an obscure comic book character so I guess people just have better reactions.

Dear Korn, Please stop. Love, Gorilla Radio. Also, if loving Staind can throw together a guitar solo, there's no reason for any actual-metal band to not have them.

I'm not a guy that needs solos for the sake of solos, since plenty of metal bands can make songs work without them. I think your real problem here is listening to Korn.

Please tell me that you made prolonged eye contact with one of your coworkers and then uttered "Satan." after 2 or 3 minutes. Also, I heard that Behemoth will be touring next spring. Can anyone confirm/deny?

Most of the guesses are at least "some black metal guy" which I'm usually happy enough with, at least they know where I was headed with it. Nobody knew me this year though but in all fairness there were maybe 15 people at the bar and most of them were the bands playing that night getting trashed before their set.

ThePutty posted:I think you should have a Classic/NWOBHM Metal section in that list. Throw all the NWOBHM bands and Sabbath into that and you have a complete coverage, unless you're just recommending the more extreme varieties. I could make a couple of recommendations, but I'm no expert whatsoever. My musical preferences are going back in time, from folk to death to thrash to NWOBHM. It's weird. Without further ado... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5L8RrphXRg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=236Lquwq22A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WS6-vI70oc0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpavSXoAPC0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VNUyjRRjxM Okay, that's a little more than a couple. edit: Also I found this amusing.

Totally agree on the new Iced Earth. I was always a gigantic fan of Matt Barlow (probably my favorite metal singer ever) but Stu Block does a great job. So much better than Ripper Owens did there for a while. For me this CD isn't quite as good as having Barlow back for The Crucible of Man but it's definitely good.

So last year I posted in this thread about how MY BAND was recording an album. It took much longer than we anticipated, but now we're ready to share it with the world! Here are a few tracks to showcase our style: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hynG9sFqZQo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmc17m2Z5w8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaLUWBYd6AU You can listen to the entire thing on youtube with this handy playlist. Feel free to leave comments/criticism on the videos or this thread. Physical CD release will likely be next month. We contracted some pretty sweet artwork too,

New Ghoul is awesome! So glad I found out about it, thanks to this thread. I was a little disappointed on my first listen cause it doesn't sound as campy and fun as the previous albums, but it makes up for it by being a super heavy album with awesome riffs. Still has the characters and everyone showing up, so it's still no doubt a Ghoul album. Now all I need is a new Frightmare album and I will be happy for a year.

Current Flattus Maximus, of Gwar was found dead today. No idea what this means for the current tour. This is a bummer. I met these guys ages ago at a signing and they were hilarious. http://www.metalsucks.net/2011/11/03/breaking-gwar-guitarist-cory-smoot-aka-flattus-maximus-found-dead/

Just finished listening to the latest Absu, it's just incredible. I can't think of a more furious band in all of metal really, or none more visionary, diverse and yet, simultaneously, single minded. I loving love Absu.
