So I made a thing for tour dates. http://www.metalplague.com/ I wouldn't just be plugging this in here if I didn't think it'd be useful with all the tours coming up. No bullshit, just tour dates. It's a wordpress theme, all the bands are catagories and all the locations are the tags, so you can just click on whatever and it'll show what's in that area. I had this page going for a while but it died, and all the talk about tour dates got me going again. I originally had it set up to publish to facebook, twitter, and tumblr, and I'll work on getting that back up and rolling. edit: hey cool, it looks like my automated publishing settings are still operating. mp on http://www.facebook.com/metalplague and https://twitter.com/666metalplague And any of you awesome goons who are way more in the know about tour stuff than I am, it'd be super if you could shoot any tour info my way at submit@metalplague.com Thanks for your time  also publishing to http://metalplague.tumblr.com edit: grammar and added tumblr link Fiendish Dr. Wu fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Feb 11, 2012 |

quote:Ex-Mudslide Frontman the great Steve Thunderbolt seeks a talented bassist and drummer to form a new heavy metal band. I play rhythm and lead guitar and sing. I play thrash, black, and glam metal. The only band in the history of heavy metal who has ever attempted this was Celtic Frost. It failed because they were too much glam and not enough black and thrash metal. I am the other way around, in that I have more black and thrash metal songs than I do glam songs, but I do have blonde hair so I have a glam image. I have a 12 track recorder and have made numerous cds for Mudslide including "Secret Right to Rock and Roll Reloaded," "Dragonfly of Passion," "Hollywood and Vine," "Columbia City Theater Live," "Studio 7 Live," "The Central Saloon Live 1 and 2," "Station 56 Live," "Chai House Live," "Colortura," "Merkava," "Dark Prophet," and our last album, "In My Final Hours." I have a lot of gigging experience and have my own amps and equipment. Please be over 21 and under 45. Alcohol and drugs are fine except for heroin and crack, so if you are into heroin or crack please do not respond to this ad. All races are welcome except for blacks, so if you are black, pleae do not respond to this ad. I am not racist, it is a drug issue and a safety issue and I cannot have black people at my house. I live in Issaquah and use my house as a practice space. So if you wanna do something that's only been attempted once before in the entire history of music, email mudsliderock@gmail.com or call 425-306-****. Belive me, where Celtic Frost failed, I will succeed.

Openly discriminates against black people and old people, but not fat chicks. Whut? I like how he's defensive about being racist. "Well, it's not your blackness that's the problem. It's just that black people like you really just want to do all my drugs and steal my precious audio equipment. Yeah. No, I meant black people like you, not you, specifically. Though, I couldn't rule you out."

Has anyone caught the newish show "Metal Evolution" on VH-1 Classic? It is an expansion of the documentary A Headbangers Journey. The host is a Canadian headbanging sociologist. I was unaware of the European power metal scene, besides Malmstein, and they did a whole episode on the genre recently. I have been listening to Nightwish an embarrasing amount of time since hearing them on the show. Any suggestions of other big power metal groups to check out?

I wish I could believe that Dragonforce is a joke band, but then I remember that time I had the misfortune of seeing Powerglove (I was there for Symphony X) and people were totally into it. Nothing wrong with Demons and Wizards though, those are two really solid albums.

They still only have effectively one song after 4? albums, so I guess if you really, really love that song you should buy their albums and hear 20 variations on it?

Incoherence posted:Dragonforce became famous for a video that portrayed a dueling-guitar solo as the two guitarists playing a video game against each other. I don't think they're in much danger of taking themselves too seriously. Actually, they have 2 songs: Standard Dragonforce power metal and standard tripe ballad. 4 albums, ad nauseum.

I really loving love 'Murder' by Katatonia, but not really the rest of their songs from what I've heard. Anything else like Murder I should seek out (by any band)? The music at the beginning/end of the track is just magnificent. EDIT: Seems the answer was "Agalloch" Captain Cancer fucked around with this message at 02:58 on Feb 12, 2012 |

The music at the beginning/end of the track is just magnificent. You will probably enjoy the rest of that album, Brave Murder Day. The one before that is great too, Dance Of December Souls. The rest of Katatonia sucks imo. This is a little off, but the way the chords grind together in 'Murder' reminds me a little of early In Flames -- you might want to check out The Jester Race by them if you haven't already. Keep in mind, it's a kind of a stretch to recommend that but there you have it.

Katatonia is boring as all get out.

Wuthering Heights, gently caress yeah. <3 Far from the Madding Crowd and Shadow Cabinet are both really good albums, but Salt really blew my loving mind. The Mad Sailor, The Desperate Poet and The Last Tribe are a bloody amazing trio of songs. Goddamn catchy choruses, and rather unusually for a (sorta) power metal band, bloody good lyrics. And indeed, Nils Patrik Johansson is a world-class vocalist, loving powerful and charismatic as hell. I've said it before in this thread, but it was many pages ago: He also sings in Astral Doors, which is also a fantastically good band. Just traditional heavy metal without any gimmicks, but just immensely well done overall. Case in point.

He also did Global Metal, and "Flight 666", check THOSE out!  Power metal bands that I enjoy: Sonata Arctica Dragonforce (yeah, gently caress you all) Gamma Ray Helloween Blind Guardian Nightwish Van Canto (their latest album has some pretty good tunes, and sounds less ridiculous that their previous crap) Edguy (except the last album) Avantasia EDIT: I don't think this qualifies as "FILES", so I'll give it a shot. Last.fm radio is not available for free outside the US, Canada and Germany. Yesterday I found out that if I use a US proxy I can listen to it just fine. I googled some proxies, and only one of them worked, but not very well. Can anyone help a goon in need?  EDIT2: I'm using one right now that seems fairly decent. If another goon needs it, PM me. However, suggestions of others are always useful. Redrum and Coke fucked around with this message at 13:57 on Feb 13, 2012 |

I've dropped them in this thread before, but Jess and the Ancient Ones' debut album is due early this year. After their earlier EP, this is one of my most anticipated releases of the year. If you think Ghost, Year of the Goat, Blood Ceremony, Devil, The Devil's Blood are any good, check this band out.

If you guys are keen to hear the new Napalm Death album: I co-host a weekly extreme metal show on https://www.thepitfm.com called The Blast Zone, and this Friday (Thursday evening in the US/CA) we'll be playing it in it's entirety. I've only given it one spin so far but it hasn't disappointed me, Barney's vocal delivery is more diverse than ever and there are some great nods to old school hardcore punk amidst the groovy riff fest. Also, a saxophone. Anyway tune in if you're keen and maybe throw a request or two my way for next week. Australian WST: Fridays 9am-12, repeats 7pm-10pm UTC: Fridays 1am-4am, repeats 11am-2pm US CST: Thursdays 7pm-10pm repeats Fridays 5am-8am (hopefully not too shameless a plug)
