Slate Action posted:Turisas2013 sounds exactly like what an untitled album sitting on a hard drive would be called. Titling the album that sounds like they just looked at the folder name and went 'gently caress it.' I'm pretty certain the guys must have some sort of thought behind it, at least. Whether people agree with that thought is another matter of course. TL;DR The album title doesn't bother me since it fits the idea behind the album.

So this is what Jesper Stromblad, Glenn Ljungstrom and Marco Aro have been up to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzm6ShUSxSw It's nothing particularly original -- if anything it sounds like Yet Another loving Rogga Johansson Jam minus the Rogga Johansson -- but after the last two dozen In Flames albums, I'll take it.

Jesus, are we listening to the same Turisas song? This sounds almost exactly like their last album, except with flatter production. Still the same 80s cock rock riffs, except with a "weird" riff/keyboard, which is about as prog as Yes - 90125 (and just about as 80s sounding). Yeah, they did away with the overblown poo poo, but the song just sounds like third rate 80s worship. Between that and the album title, I'm pretty much ready to write this band off. Their last album had maybe two good songs on it, and one of them was a retread of To Holmgard and Beyond (which is still their best song as far as I'm concerned) It kinda pains me to say that, since I actually really liked The Varangian Way when it came out.

I like working out to Mastodon, High on Fire and Down I Go. I'd like something similarly boggy in sound, but just instrumental since the lyrics can be a little distracting. Any suggestions?

Mors Principium Est's most recent album, ...and Death Said Livewas pretty awesome melodeath. Not quite as good as the Unborn but they managed to pull off their signature sound with almost none of the original line up and the album has riffs for days.

DeusExMachinima posted:Ahaha yeah about that... dream on. JR and Whoracle, maybe Colony, were good albums. It was a lucky streak. Megadeth has more long term talent than In Flames. I thought Clayman was also decent but yeah, luckily when In Flames really started to eat poo poo, Insomnium came out with 'In the Halls of Awaiting' and have been killing it ever since.

So I didn't realize that the SE of the new Amon Amarth comes with a 4-track "covers" EP. I put covers in quotes because they're actually original songs but done in the style of Priest, Sabbath, Motorhead, and AC/DC. These songs are actually kinda awesome. Is that Johan doing the Ozzy-impresson on Satan Rising?

I'm 99% sure that it's not Johan on Satan Rising though, I think it could be Messiah Marcolin again. Here's the tracks in question: Burning Anvil of Steel Satan Rising Snake Eyes Stand Up to go Down Am I right in thinking it's ACDC, Sabbath, Motorhead, and Priest, in that order?

I was listening to this EP a lot at work today and was going to ask if other people were enjoying it too but there you go. I love that Amon Amarth said "gently caress it" and released four tracks of hero worship and I get huge poo poo eating grins listening to it. I do wonder who does the vocals on Satan Rising, yeah. It could be Messiah, but then why not make a Candlemass-style song since they obviously love the guy?

Just had to get this out there: I know it's "old" by now, but Early Graves' most recent release is still really satisfying even after so many months of listening to it. Reminds me a lot of High on Fire's 'Blessed Black Wings' in more than a few ways, longevity being the biggest of 'em.

Some of the metal that has stuck out for me recently has had horns, sometimes as a solo instrument, sometimes just jamming along with the guitar. Here are some examples, does anyone know of anything similar? Whourkr - Polygroin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_4o5qeWzJY TesseracT - Calabi-Yau https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmQEoXca67Y&t=483s Shining - The One Inside https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTdrTbhxr_c

I like the parts of the song that sound less like heartwork more for sure...overall I'm surprised that it doesnt blow. Not amazing or anything, but surprisingly decent, but then again I hate heartwork and they said it would be a middle point between necrot and heartwork. EDIT: Ihsahn's stuff has had some saxophone in it. I wanna say it was the guy from shining that recorded hte Sax too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eINd5oQTcU4 Wyzt fucked around with this message at 02:14 on Jul 1, 2013 |
