Morbid Florist posted:From what I remember he was always an Axl type. He wasn't even a personal fan of the music they made, it was just a job for him. I saw Queensryche a couple of year ago, and it was ridiculously uncomfortable. There was absolutely no chemistry between the band members at all. They did not interact at all, they didn't really even move around that much. Was horrible, even though technically the sounded awesome.

Dead Letters from the new Katatonia album is on Youtube (legally). It's less doomy and slow than their older stuff, but I think it's great. It's more progressive metal which is nice!

Trees and Squids posted:I can't really provide anything similar to Blackjazz, but I just want to echo that it is loving awesome. I found it thanks to Ihsahn's After (On The Shores struck me in particular), Jørgen Munkeby is an awesome saxophonist, Shining and his work with Ihsahn is absolutely nuts. Good call on Ihsahn, I hadn't heard anything after angL. Not as out there as Blackjazz but it's real good so I'm not complaining. I know Unexpect, I do not care for Unexpect. Stoat posted:Dead Letters from the new Katatonia album is on Youtube (legally). This is really good too. Description says it's one of the heavier and proggier songs on the album so it sounds like this will be a heck of a follow up to Night is the New Day, which was also really good.

I'm going to have to check out this Dethlehem band. Somehow their lyrics are less cheesy than DragonForce.

Not sure which thread I should post this in, because Cloudkicker encompasses many genres, but it's broadly speaking, metal, so: There's a new album due this autumn and it sounds like it's going to be incredible. Get excited.

Semprini posted:The other band is Metsatoll, and there are tour dates: I saw Moonsorrow, Turisas, Tyr and Ensiferum at the Opera House in Toronto awhile back for Paganfest, it was pretty fun. Moonsorrow for me is not really as effective live, and by the time Ensiferum hit the stage I had a blistering headache. Tyr was really, really good though.

So I finally got to see Inquisition (twice) a couple weeks back at Evil Invaders IV in Sydney. Hands down one of the best bands I've ever seen live. Played a lot of stuff from their newest album, but considering everything they've ever recorded is quality that's certainly not a bad thing. The slow, meandering Desolate Funeral Chant was pure loving bliss! Other highlights of the weekend: Innsmouth, Vomitor, Assaulter, Hobbs Angel of Death, Hellbringer, Convent Guilt, Heresiarch.

Why people (still) care about Korpiklaani is really beyond me. And Inquisition are indeed a great live band.

Hopefully now that they're on SoM they'll tour more regularly and I can fix this problem! Also, I think Ominous Doctrines... might be my favourite Inquisiton album anyway, so this is fine by me. I love how hypnotic their music is. And I gather from what people have said, that no ferocity is lost live, and the 2 of them pull it all off?

Absolutely, that's probably what blew me away so much. That just two dudes can create a sound like that. When I first heard that distinct Inquisition guitar tone I knew I was in for a ride (and the drumming is a sight to behold). If you ever get the chance to see them don't miss it for anything.

Metal thread, it's time for the semi-annual request for Amon Amarth recommendations. If I love the poo poo out of Twilight of the Thunder God and With Oden on Our Side, and the only other AA album I own is Surtur Rising (which was decent), where do I go next?

Yeah, Versus the World. Though given how much you love Twilight of The Thunder God and With Oden On Our Side you'll probably like Fate of Norns as well. Anyone who cares about power metal might be interested to know that Kamelot has officially named Tommy Karevik of Seventh Wonder as their new vocalist. I think he was one of the guys who filled in for Khan at festivals. I think it'll be a good fit, Fabio Lione was a great choice for the tours and I figure they know what they're doing. edit: SgtScruffy posted:
loving incredible. I've seen him four times in the last 6 years or so and it's always one of the best shows I see in any given year. The stage shows are still ridiculous, full of magic tricks and skits and stuff, and the dude sounds great. He's got to be one of the greatest showmen in the history of rock music.

Charlie Mopps posted:You would probably like them all, because they all sound pretty much the same. Which is not a bad thing at all, i love a band who keeps doing what it does great. I guess The Avenger and Once Sent From The Golden Hall are a bit rougher compared to their last few albums. Yeah usually when I find myself in this situation with any band I'll listen to the samples on Amazon/iTunes/Play from different albums and get whatever grabs me. Doesn't work with Amon Amarth because it all sounds similarly kick rear end. Versus the World seems like a popular suggestion though, so maybe I'll grab that next.
